Hail*NOR/ This is the May.
Update 7.3 is coming. New story, flashpoint, new landing zone on the planet Voss, stronghold decorations, more PVP changes for point accumulations, new class balancing, economy changes to help reign in inflation and updates to the Galactic Trade Network, new Cartel Market items, and the return of Nar Shaddaa nightlife. The addition of “Shrine of Silence” and some new cool fight mechanics and bosses. The planetary zone on Voss offers some very exciting new content in the autumnal season that occurs eternally on Voss. Story updates will focus on Darth Malgus. There will also be a focus on Voss for the new stronghold décor.
PVP has developed a consistent following thanks to Gloom and friends on Monday night. There has been a rework of the PVP system, and it has generally been accepted as good. The new PVP changes to increase scoring for Galactic Seasons PVP challenges is sure to bring more players in and make things more fun.
Economy changes seem to be having a good effect on the inflation of the game. Some end game items are having prices reduced, and the credit sinks are focused more on higher level players activities as well as bringing the trade chats into scope.
Galactic seasons is progressing well, and as always our fearless leader Intisar finds fun and creative ways (like SPORKS aka sparks of War) to help guild members get points towards meeting those goals. He does an amazing job of leading and organizing the fun times in addition to being a SWTOR content creator and overall great individual!!
Recently I was hit by the passing of Ray Stevenson who is set to play Baylan Skoll, an orange-red lightsaber wielder in the show. There will be an orange-red lightsaber remembrance run this Sunday at 8PM in honor of Ray Stevenson. If you are not familiar with him, he was also Volstagg in the Marvel Thor movies and played the Punisher in Punisher War Zone.
May the Force be with you all!
