Hail*NOR/

Welcome to the season of everything pumpkin spice!! As we fall into Autumn, we get ready to start into the Feast of Prosperity! For those who have not had the pleasure of partaking in this event, this is by far my favorite of all. World bosses are a regular objective as well as some fun adventuring collection quests. If you crave a puzzle food game, this is definitely the event for you with the Cantina Rush event. You operate an astromech droid and serve food in a race against the clock. 

The Progression Raiding Team has ventured into The Nature of Progress operation for the first time in a long time. Champion @Rye received the achievements “Reach the Auxiliary Shield Generator Shed” and “Capture the Security Center” portion of the raid. The second of these achievements was also a first for me. There is a lot of trickery to these fights and a lot of timing of movement through the operation to ensure one is not fried by the power generators. We have gotten a good look at the Mutant Trandoshans. You may ask yourself why the phrase “Mutant Trandoshans” looks so familiar and that would be due to the modelling after the Mutant Ninja Turtles, right down to the coloring. It is a fun fight with an added bonus achievement for killing all of the Trandoshans at the same time with a train. 

We have a new guide published by Champion @Amp for the Hatred Assassin class or Shadow Serenity class. It is a fun and comprehensive guide that will get you all set for some fun and not overly complicated gameplay. We have also heard that the next expansion 8.0 is expected to arrive toward the end of the year. With this announcement, we also heard that Star Parse is going inactive and will not be updated. This was a passion project parsing tool made by a swToR player that is moving on and no longer supporting it. There is a new identified tool that quite a few people have been trying and it is called BARAS. The instructions have been posted in the channel and pinned by Duke @Intisar. This tool offers a great amount of customizations and is pretty user friendly. With 8.0 there will be the addition of new story content, a new planet, Ryloth, the addition of difficulty modes to add more challenge, new ventures, the “Children of Nul” operation, the level cap is being moved to 85, there will be new abilities for all disciplines, new gearing and more quality-of-life improvements.
