Invite Your Friends To SW:TOR For 7 Days
If you have friends and you want to try to hook them into Star Wars: The Old Republic, then now is a good time to give a go. BioWare has launched Game Update 1.2 – Legacy for SW:TOR, and as part of the hooplah, subscribers can invite three friends in for a 7-day trial. Of course, Legacy includes some junk outside of a piddly 7-day trial. Features include PvP Warzone Rankings and Guild Banks, along with enhancements to the game’s Legacy system. This update also provides improved UI customization as well as gameplay fixes and the latest optimizations to combat balance. Read on for further details.- Flashpoint: Lost Island continues the Kaon Under Siege Flashpoint from Game Update 1.1 – Rise of the Rakghouls. Players must survive a menacing island of mystery on Ord Mantell as they hunt for clues to the Rakghoul virus outbreak that ravaged the Tion Hegemony. But the answers to this riddle may prove fatal!
- Operation: Explosive Conflict sends groups of eight or sixteen Imperial or Republic players to a new zone on the planet of Denova, where traitors and mercenaries are selling the rare explosive mineral baradium to the highest bidder. Players will battle through hordes of Droids, mercenaries and deadly creatures all fighting for control of the planet and its valuable resources.
- Warzone: Novare Coast pits two teams in an epic battle to control multiple mortar locations and use them to bombard vulnerable enemy bases. Like the Huttball Warzone, Novare Coast can be played Republic vs. Empire or with players of the same faction fighting each other in a thrilling contest of wills to determine each side’s greatest champions.
Juberish: Kick A Kid Then Play Some Old Republic
Hi-Ho! How’s you? The weekend was kind of decent. Had a blast chasing my dogs and a friend’s dog with a remote control rat and a tarantula. I laughed so hard I peed in my pants a bit. Watched the whole first season of Being Human. Kicked a kid for shits and giggles. Finally rolled a character in SW:TOR, got to about level 6. I had way more fun when I played the closed beta for a day. I think it’s down to the lightsaber. Last time I was a Jedi Knight and I had a long glowing lightsaber that was too sexy for my shirt. Now I’m a Sith Inquisitor and I have this shitty little training saber and it’s not all lit up light a Christmas tree. I think I need to re-roll a Jedi.
I have 84 days to decide if TOR sucks or not. Funny story last week. Apparently BioWare unloaded a shitty update for TOR, or Tortanic as some people are calling it. The patch unbalanced the game drastically according to Kirk Sigmon, and as a result many decided to cancel their account. However, when they went to do so the cancel subscription button was missing. /LOL. Burned. If you have any interest then read the article, it’s pretty entertaining.
Daehawk sent this next bit over last week and it’s awesome, but terrifying at the same time. It’s Beavis and Butthead in real life, designed by makeup effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick.
