There's a new operations boss that means there's a new contest! Kill Izax for the biggest give away we've ever done -- thanks to our sponsor preferred-til-newops !
There have been new changes to the conquest system. They are not awesome. Brian got frustrated and spouted gibberish. Literally.
Did you miss South by SWTOR?!? If so, you missed out. We'll recap some of the fun things we learned from devs when you ply them with alcohol.
We saw a dev stream on Twitch this week. Charles and Musco showed us a few of the additions we can expect with game update 5.8 Conquest improvements look nice, but the question of participation remains. Will the rewards make people want to play?
Izax is coming as well. From the promo shots we've seen, he looks quite impressive... and maybe he transforms into a sweet spaceship ?
We travel to the Bioware mothership once again! This time we tracked down Lead Producer Keith Kanneg and force him to answer questions. The interrogation droid we used was quite effective. Listen as we discuss the roadmap, a 6.0 expansion, Anthem, and more!
This week's outro music:
As we know, Bioware has a track record of delaying things. Game updates, patches, roadmaps -- these have all been delayed. So it should come as no surprise that game updates 5.8 and 5.9 are also to be delayed. We'd rather see quality instead of timeliness, but of course the haters are gonna hate hate hate.
After our interview with Keith last week, there have been another round of doom and gloom posts and videos. Let's discuss and see where the goals of us players and the goals for the business can coalesce. Maybe there's something like daily rewards that works for everyone?
This week's outro music: Imperial March by Empire Jazz
Last week, Brian had to put the brakes on Chuck when he was about to dive down a worm hole regarding subscriber rewards. Now the brakes are off! Chuck will let us know what he thinks about sub rewards and educate us about something called the Liberator. Its not what you think.
In the back half of the show, we look at the reddit and discuss a post from SWTOR_VEGA. What if the cartel market were a giant catalog that you could always purchase things from? We put some spins on this idea and run with them!
