Catching Up With SW: The Old Republic

Posted By Mike on June 30, 2012

The big Star Wars: The Old Republic news this week was the release of Game Update 1.3: Allies , and this weekend round-up offers an introduction to the update along with some of the regular weekly links coming to us from SWTOR.com.

Game Director James Ohlen posted a welcome to the new update over in the Community News area of SWTOR.com. Here's an excerpt reminding you of some of the new content, but make sure to click here for the full read:

"In addition to the Group Finder, Allies expands the Legacy system with Legacy perks. These perks, which are unlocked as you increase your Legacy level, provide a wide range of bonuses for your character. Some perks allow you to gain additional experience from taking part in Flashpoints, Warzones, or Space Missions. Other perks give you the ability to call repair droids, improve your relationship with your companion and much more.

Ranked Warzones allow for top-level competitive play for our PvP fans. Join Ranked Warzones as part of a team of eight level 50 players, and earn recognition and rewards! Allies also includes many other smaller features, including Adaptive gear, Augment unlocks and more."



The latest Friday Community Q&A touched on community feedback vs. the developers' original plans, playable species, tiebreakers in Voidstar matches, the effect of Expertise on healing, and a dual talent option. Click here!


Of course, the official TOR site also provided their weekly Dev Tracker Summary, a new Community Round-up, and a reminder of the next scheduled maintenance:

Date: Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012
Time: 2AM CDT (12AM PDT/3AM EDT/8 AM BST/9AM CEST/5PM AEST) until 8AM CDT (4AM PDT/9AM EDT/2PM BST/3PM CEST/11PM AEST)



Finally for this week, the subject of Star Wars: The Old Republic character transfers popped up in a recent G4TV MMO Report:
