They realise it’s a challenge, but they wanted to go with it anyway, because it’s another unexplored perspective in MMOs * Boyd confession time: “I’m kinda a softie when I’m playing my own characters through the story.

Join Jason, Mox and Ravanel as they share their experiences in SWTOR. This week they are joined by SWTOR blogger and commando enthusiast Shintar.

Quit that Fractured pug as your hosts deal out the info in this week’s podcast...         Newsnet & Beyond Dev Livestream (Jan 5th 2017) * Character transfers will go back to their usual price in either 1 week or 2 weeks. If you want to transfer characters, do it now. * Jan 17th: end of anniversary rewards * Jan 24th: 5.1 goes live (the return of gear drops)   Fractured exploit There is an exploit in Fractured that you can possibly take part in without intending to. We recommend playing with friends and not queueing for Fractured specifically with randoms. We approached Eric Musco for clarification and received the following official response.   Eric Musco: “First, thank you (and everyone else) who reported the bug taking place in the Fractured Uprising. We are aware of it and are investigating the issue and its impact. As for action that could be taken we will reiterate our stance on exploits: Any bug which a player can use to gain an advantage can be viewed as an exploit and could lead to action being taken against their account.”   CRR: What are some steps players can take in order to keep themselves safe, especially since this particular exploit happens so fast? * “Let the group know ahead of time that you don’t want to participate in any exploits, to go through the Uprising as intended. * If an exploit occurs, report any offending individuals. * Alert BioWare privately of this issue (we are already aware in this instance and are investigating).”   CRR: Would BioWare consider removing Fractured from the rotation of Uprisings until it is patched? “This is a great suggestion, we are looking into this as a part of our investigation of The Fractured Uprising.”   Community Buzz Interview with blogger, SWTOR gamer and commando lover - Shintar Contact info Twitter: @ShintarCommando Blog: swtorcommando.blogspot.com (Going Commando)   Discussion of the social implications of the Galactic Command system     Further reading: Going Commando - Social Implications of Galactic Command Going Commando - Shintar’s Galactic Command Diary, Week 1 Galactic Antics - Galactic Command: Bioware’s “Long Game” Reddit: Some GXP Math and Comparison to 4.0 Gearing - Comment about Balance Quick Mentions

Let’s find out in this week’s podcast...         New Uprising trailer: Trench Runner Newsnet & Beyond BioWare has been busy, treating us with a whopping two dev streams:   Dec. 8th Dev livestream with Charles & Ben * Bingo card by redditor Cybannus * Rebalancing changes to Galactic Command XP: * Increasing the amount of CXP from Uprisings: +50% from storymode, +80% from veteran * Warzone CXP stays the same * Defeating gold strength mobs will reward with 2 CXP instead of 1. Ten was too much, because people just farmed them all day every day. Hopefully now people won’t farm them, but we will get a bit more CXP out of gold mobs in flashpoints etc. * Anniversary is up (drop by the fleet vendor for free stuff) and there are lots of events - make sure to check the calendar   Dec. 15th Dev livestream with Ben, Charles & Eric * Free chapter 1 of Eternal Throne actions: * For preferred players: www.swtor.com/trial * For anyone by using referral links of subs: www.swtor.com/friends * Major changes for PvP and operation loot coming with 5.1 (Jan. 24th): * Changes to operations: * Every operation boss has a chance to drop an unassembled token for a piece of (set bonus) gear * The further you get into an operation, the higher the chance bosses will drop gear * The last boss in every operation is guaranteed to drop a specific unassembled token * The tiers of gear drops will correspond with the difficulty of the operation: * Story = tier 1 * Veteran = tier 2 * Master = tier 3 * To convert the unassembled pieces you will need command tokens * You will get a command token in every command crate you open. These will be bestowed retroactively with 5.1 * Changes to PVP: * Unassembled pieces will be rewarded from PVP matches * Medals, wins etc. will contribute to the amount awarded * These plus command tokens can be turned into gear, gated by ranking * A set of tier 1 must be purchased before buying tier 2 and so on * Tip for PvP’ers: hang onto set bonus armour shells to update them with 5.1 * Coming in January: * 5 New uprisings using new mechanics from the KOTET story * Master mode for chapters * News about new larger group content * Past DvL event achievements will be put back into the game

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. Read the full report with all questions and their detailed answers here: Summary of the Round Table.     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.
