WoW Q&A

Discussion of level squish, transmog (hide all slots except pants), removal of portals (adding a CoT Portal)

SWTOR

Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’ is on the Public Test Server right now and includes the new dynamic preview window and the new Guild Heraldry feature. Also, Bioware has bitten the development bullet and is re-working how interactable objects are created for the game. This effort will make world building, quest building, and probably just about everything easier to do and maintain in the future.

We are looking forward to news in April during Star Wars Celebration!
