Join Jason, Mox, and Ravanel as they share their experiences in SWTOR. This week the team discusses their first (spoiler free) impressions of the Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion. Furthermore, Heather joins in as they report back with dev answers to their critical expansion questions.

Let’s get into this week’s spoiler free podcast...

 

 

 

 

 

Newsnet & Beyond

We discuss the release of Knights of the Eternal Throne. A bug regarding KOTFE chapter 16 and an exploit with heroics were addressed in a hotfix. Links:

* Exploit Post & Exploit Fix

* Quick Saturday fix for Arcann fight & comms/crystal conversion

The option to customize Shae Vizla’s outfit turned out to be a bug. Changing the outfits of new companions would cause technical issues. A shame, because people love dressing up.

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone shares their first impressions of the expansion.

 

Community Buzz

Corellian Run Radio participated in a conference call with Charles Boyd and Ben Irving of the SWTOR developer team. Each member highlights and discusses their most pressing question of the dev roundtable:

* Mox: Are the DvL bosses locked or not?

Answer: Not. They currently work like world bosses and can be reset by taunts.

* JT: Are there plans to address the community concern regarding command XP and RNG?

Answer: We are looking how things work out first, but do not rule out changes.

* Rav: What are the thoughts on forced low rank companions in veteran+ chapters?

Answer: It is intended. You can compensate with gear and gifts.

* Heather: What content is there for veteran players?

Answer: Veteran mode story, uprisings and DvL bosses. More plans in January.

The team discusses spoilers. How do we keep social media spoiler free? And is it really that bad to be spoiled? A study by the University of California shows that spoilers make us feel more involved with the story… as long as we’re not aware.
