Swtor Video Documentary #2

BioWare has released the second Video Documentary for Star Wars™: The Old Republic.

Set 300 years after the events of Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™ and thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader, the setting of The Old Republic is a relatively unexplored timeframe in the Star Wars™ canon. This allows a significant amount of freedom to create an epic storyline that will allow players to make ethical decisions and become immersed in their personal Star Wars saga.

Watch as LucasArts and BioWare teams reveal how Story and Setting will enhance the player experience by clicking on the link below.

Volume 2, Book 7 Patch 1 Notes

The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Tuesday, March 24 from 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) for an update to the game. The following release notes cover what is included in Volume 2 Book 7 Patch 1

General

  • Characters who logged into Book 7 with 0 or 1 maximum morale and no skills have been fixed.
  • A server stability Issue has been addressed.


New Player Experience

  • The ending instances for the new player experience in Archet and Ered Luin are now solo-only. This is in line with the intent for these instances and more importantly addresses an issue where players in a fellowship could sometimes be left in a bad state after the instance was completed.

Quests

  • We’ve addressed an issue where the quests in Volume2, Book 7, Chapter 3 and Chapter 8 instances would not advance for some players.

The Battle of Lorien

The main idea of this guide is to introduce players with some of the new things from the latest update. In fact, one of the challenges you as a player must face will be proving to the Galadhrim that you yourself are not a danger to the Golden Wood.

The Trust of the Galadhrim

How then can you gain safe passage beneath the leaves of Lothlórien? There are several ways you can prove yourself to the Elves and gain limited access to Lórien.

Bounty Hunter Class Revealed

Gritty and harsh, laser revolver wielding bounty hunter is sure going to have a lot of fans.

The announcement of the Bounty Hunter Class is exciting in so many ways I don’t know where to begin. Announcement of classes is always a sign of the game’s beta incoming soon (let’s define “soon” as 6 months for example). Than, there’s the assumption of having a class that will not be just another light saber wielding class. You see, with most of the other Star Wars games once you acquire the light saber you can pretty much lose everything else because the light saber is so appealing/powerful. Official announcement and videos about our favorite antihero are below the break.

Book 7 Crafting Instances

Book 7 Crafting Instances
by KatashiTakishiro

To start off there are 6 crafting instances separated in pairs of 2, {based on the crafting materials you can get} in 3 different location in Moria. I myself was confused how this worked at first but I figured it out with a bit of trial & error!
At each pair of crafting instances there are 3 NPCs. Two have 3 quests each for the door/instance they’re standing next too as well as the Barter screen {on the left} you’ll see below in the 1st image! Each quest you successfully complete will reward you with 1 [Iron Garrison Resource Token]! Overall; you can earn 3 {IGRTs} from each of the 6 CIs for a total of 18 every 24 hrs.

The 3rd NPC only has the Barter screen {on the right} of which you can trade 3 [Iron Garrison Resource Tokens] in for 1 [Lothlorien Gold Leaf] {Which are exceptionally valuable!} If you choose to trade the IGRTs in from each CI, you can earn a total of 6 [Lothlorien Gold Leaf] every 24 hrs.
