Bioware Unveils Star Wars: The Old Republic 1.2 Update Changes

Unread postby News Portal » 7 Mar 12, 2:59 pm

I used to be quite the little Star Wars nerd when I was younger. I could tell you what fate befell those who fell into the Sarlacc Pit, why the milk on Tatooine was blue and how the hell B'omarr Monk ended up as a brain in a jar. If you told me a game like [app=4600]Star Wars: The Old Republic[/app] was on the horizon, I'm pretty sure I would have keeled over in a puddle of drool. Sadly as a Mac user I'll have to wait just a little bit longer, but for those PC gamers of you out there exploring the universe, Bioware have unveiled the features of Game Update 1.2.

Match colour to chest. :drool:
All the other additions look super, especially a new Warzone to muck about in. But I'm really hanging out for the colour matching thing. My Trooper has a green and orange on different parts and it doesn't look awful but... it could look niftier. :D

In the guild summit they have stated they are giving you the option to turn that off.

Awesome update list is awesome.

UI changes is one of my higher priority ones so very happy to see it getting done!

The extra PVP areas is awesome, along with the news that they are wanting to bring PVP gear inline with each other is just beautiful.

Yawn. It's always '300 million dollars and they don't have feature X' arguments with this game...They don't have gearscore yet either - how dare they??
