Everyone has a fighting chance
The latest expansion pack for Star Wars: The Old Republic has arrived, and with it the game is graduating to version number 3.0. One of the banner features of the upgrade, although not specifically tied to the expansion pack, is the new method for dealing with skills: Disciplines.
IGN has a new interview with Bioware’s Jeff Hickman. In the article, he indicates that if Star Wars: The Old Republic players like what they’re seeing in Shadow of Revan, they won’t be disappointed when they see what 2015 will bring to the game’s story.
With a little more than two weeks before Shadow of Revan launches, Bioware and publishing partner EA invited the press and select members of the SWTOR community to EA’s Redwood Shores offices for a peek at the expansion. Though the event was in some ways a retread of previously released information, we were given some hands-on time with the new solo-able Flashpoints.
Two blog posts have been published on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site laying out big advanced class changes for both the Mercenary and the Commando. These two begin a series of articles designed to introduce players to the new ‘Discipline’ system and detail the specific changes players can expect when utilizing and playing in their chosen advanced class.
This week, Star Wars: the Old Republic announced the end of PVP Season Three to coincide with the launch of Game Update 3.0: Shadow of Revan. They also announced three tiers of rewards based on the Rating players will acquire during the season of play. Today, we’ll take a look at the game’s PVP options and see where the fun is.
We were invited to a first look at Shadow of Revan, the new expansion for Star Wars: the Old Republic. In it, players tackle the galaxy-threatening Revan in the third installment of his centuries-spanning story. The event focused primarily on the game’s story and future content rather than the nuts and bolts of any new game systems.
A new in-character lore post has cropped up on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site that gives players some background information about the Revanites and how they came into their current state of existence. Revan and his followers will feature prominently in the forthcoming Shadow of Revan expansion set to be released before the end of the year.
Star Wars: the Old Republic 3.0 has been formally announced, and it’s proof that BioWare Austin is very fond of the letters S and R and the word ‘shadow’. Shadow of Revan promises to bring even more story to the almost three-year-old MMO, as players get to hopefully sink their teeth into what is the end cap of the video game trilogy focusing on an era in galactic history where he was pretty much the central lore figure.
