We talk about the new series on SWTOR’s Twitch channel that is all about Galactic Strongholds. We welcome The Drunk Tanks, in the debut of our new audio guild segment, Guild Ready Check!

Top 3 questions Snipers/Gunslingers

“In the expansion after Galactic Strongholds, we intend to give all of the damage dealers some utility, such that operation group leaders will want some utility or another from every damage dealer. At that time, we intend to make the damage output closer between each damage dealing specialization as well. But we cannot do this in a regular game update, because it is a massive overhaul to our existing systems and design philosophies, and it takes a significant amount of time to implement (longer than the typical 4-8 weeks that a normal update might take).”
