"Today is the day everyone has been waiting for, the highly anticipated release of Game Update 2.1 for SWTOR. For EA, it's another day where they can expect to make millions from subscribers. while subscribers and players alike rage about where the game seems to be heading." - JPS
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
Terrible practice, but not like I expect better from EA.
Wow! A F2P game making money from micro transactions!! Whatever next!!
People have the option of buying cartel coins, or if you're a subscriber then save up. If a complete character makeover is 1500 cartel coins - that's 3 months of saving up the 'FREE' coins given every month.
None of these cosmetic changes are required to win the game Are people really going to leave because they are being charged to change eye colour!
Whilst the Cathar now costing is bad form from EA, it's only two months of free coins if you're a subscriber (500 per month). If you're on the F2P model then I would expect new character classes to be an unlock that costs.
15 bucks is a bit much to call it a microtransaction but if people are going to pay it then they are justifying the decision to make it so much
oh no a completely visual only feature being added for *GASP* a micro transactions! None of whats been added changes ACTUAL gameplay in anyway, let alone P2W. Bad news is bad.
EA inventing new form of payments... MACRO-TRANSACTION ? :P
