04.28.2015 Welcome to Game Update 3.2: Rise of the Emperor
Greetings, everyone, and welcome to Game Update 3.2: Rise of the Emperor!
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this update. It really marks the start of some big things coming for Star Wars: The Old Republic this year, and I can’t wait to share it all with you over the next few months. Being able to write these words for you, well, it’s … it’s like I just turned off my targeting computer.
When last we left you, many of you had experienced the Shadow of Revan storyline, learning the fate of one of our favorite Force users, Revan, while also being drawn into the struggle against the now-released Emperor. This all took place on the beautiful Yavin 4, a moon steeped in the power of the Force and protected by the fearsome Massassi. The story wasn’t over, though. While Revan’s plans didn’t come to fruition, the entire experience left some unanswered questions. And that’s where we continue our story. Many of those questions will be answered with Rise of the Emperor.
The Emperor escaped destruction on Yavin 4, and now his presence has been felt on the planet Ziost, once powerful throne world of the Sith Empire. You are called upon again to face this galactic menace when your allies realize that the entire planet’s inhabitants have been mind-controlled. And while the Emperor’s ultimate plan is still unknown, you do know he must be stopped.
The adventure continues and familiar faces arrive to aid you, but that’s not all: New creatures, powerful in the Dark Side of the Force are encountered. Creatures like the unstoppable Monoliths. You are also introduced to new factions while on Ziost, organizations bent on stopping the Emperor finally. One such group is the Sixth Line, a militaristic group of Jedi who closely follow an additional entry added to the Jedi Code: “There is no contemplation, there is only duty.”
Your decisions on Ziost will have tremendous impact on the fate of those around you. Who will live? Who will die? Will the Emperor finally be stopped?
But with Rise of the Emperor, we also wanted to add additional features we know you have been clamoring for. The first of which is Outfit Designer. You’ll finally be able to quickly change in and out of any outfit you create without worrying about inventory space or your modifications. Look for our Dev Blog about Outfit Designer, coming soon.
Not only that, but we are always looking for more improvements to the game that help your quality of life. In Rise of the Emperor, you will see many improvements to things like travel. We really wanted to make travel faster and more accessible to help you and your friends get on with your adventures more easily. Some examples of this are:
Taxi Paths – All Taxi Paths are now unlocked for you as soon as you land on a planet.
Improved Bind Points – Now, all Bind Points are unlocked when you uncover them in the Fog of War. No more forgetting to interact with them as you jump on your speeder and zoom away.
A lot more detail about Update 3.2: Rise of the Emperor will be found in the patch notes, so look for those soon.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your adventures on Ziost. I assure you, this is only the beginning. The stage is being set for what is going to be an incredible journey.
May the Force be with you.
Michael Backus
Lead Designer

What AFK in FFXIV is and why it is a problem.

Empiren Posted 8/26/2013 7:41:53 PM message detail Away from keyboard(AFK). In FFXIV this doesn't mean you take a 30minute break for whatever. No, in FFXIV, you are going to sleep, going to work, doing whatever it is you do for the entire day, while leaving your character inside the server taking up a position. This is a problem because: 1. The servers are population locked and there isn't a que, nor are there afk timers. 2. Therefore any player in there is taking a spot in the population list 1/100000 3. Then the percent of people afk but not playing therefore lock out the people who would naturally get in the game due to them leaving.(logging off). 4. So naturally people adapt and just leave there characters there until they get back. Therefore making the percentage of AFK people grow, locking more and more of the natural player percentage out while the server becomes full of more and more afk players. It will essentially scar or at least annoy this game'

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here. Check out the video below to see  swtor credits  Howard as he tries his luck playing our original game “
