Return of the Gannon!

Gary jumps back into the hotseat and there’s plenty of SWTOR news to cover. Update 1.2 is so close you can taste it, but you can still only play it on the PTS right now.

BioWare release a new trailer for Novare Coast, the new Warzone that is just one of the massive changes coming in The Jesus Patch. Will it be a strong alternative to Huttball? We have the crew with hands-on coverage to take you through what you need to know.

James Ohlen confirmed that server transfers are coming soon! About time, eh? He also confirmed that changes will be coming to Eternity Vault’s Ancient Pylons. Are they the most annoying parts of any PvE encounter in the game?

The new UI looks very shiny indeed. Is it really as good as we had hoped? Our team has been playing around with it to see just how flexible it is, did it bend or break?

All this and lots more including viewer questions answered by Darth Hater‘s Justin Lowe, Massively‘s Larry “Shaddoe” Everett, Ed “Taugrim” Park and the esteemed Gary Gannon.

They do the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs to bring you The Republic!

  i guess im alone in taking those losing ques.
  
  the reason i liked them was:when leveling to 50 i would get up to 10k xp for perhaps 5 seconds of looking at the we lost screen.
  
  i did the same for valor,again fast valor for doing not alot,and still being qued for the next match.
  i prefer a long match ,with a chance to win.but with a lvl grind does it matter?lol nope.

Node capping on Novare Coast sounds similar to LoL’s Dominion map… which sounds good!

When it comes to why they had the ui set up like it is currently, I think they looked at the majority of player made set up’s that you can get for WoW on Curse and went with that, most the set ups you see that are player made have the portraits at the bottom center so you can see whats going on without having to look all around the screen

Welcome back, GG. We missed you.

we need to see debuffs on raid frames, and incoming heals.. that would make us healers better :3

SWTOR is close to coming to an end for me. I’m finding most WZ are decided within the first minute of play, with us facerolling our opponent or getting facerolled. Seeing fewer and fewer close fought matches. I suspect with Novare Coast, once one team caps two nodes, the other team will starts losing players making a comeback very difficult. Without the controls in place from the beginning, this game has reduced the player base to churning through matches to win a few games.

Please get a real Ops player on the show #loveyoulongtime

Seriously, you guys need to invite or get in touch with either Petrus or Adam of SithWarrior.com or some representative from the game’s top raiding guilds who have been testing the PTS extensively like Cali Killed Nox, Methodical, Condemned, or Ambient.

Agreed with David Cohen. Invite either Petrus or Adam from SithWarrior.com for example, or a representative of the game’s top raiding guilds who have been testing the new Operations extensively such as Cali Killed Nox, Methodical, Ambient, or Condemned.

you know what, im tired of watching this god dang show and I haveing to wait 31:26 minutes to hear ed talk. I like ed’s input. I am a pvper so I like to hear Ed’s input on UI, new pvp warzone, and more. and I sit here watching justin talk and take over the time for like half an hour.
I LOVE gamebreaker, I donated, I love legendary and the rupublic, but if you are going to have 3 people in your show talking. let each person have atleast SOME equal time talking. Ed is a pvper, prob the most skilled swtor player out there that i know, and we have justin the coder talking like its his show. STFU justin and larry, and let ED talk. seriously.

im sorry im reposting,BUT yes a big but, im watching this whole show. to get some of Ed’s feedback on the jesus patch and I had to waste 38.59 seconds on listening to justin talk about the U.I system just to hear Ed give me some useful info, at 39.00. Queing for warzones you shouldnt take your first “pop up que” if you want to jump into a “failing” warzone, click cancel on the first 5-10 second ques and even wait 15-20 seconds for a “fresh” warzone. please hear me garry and let Ed or QUE Ed to talk more. very insightful. very NEEDED.

free server xfers can have an odd impact on guilds when members suddenly can jump ship and transfer to another guild on a whim… we saw this in rift where lots of people guild hopped very quickly around from one guild to another.

All due respect, but did Justin ever do EV more than once? He took the Pylon question in the entirely wrong direction. The issue was the buggyness, not the overall design.
pc11

This game still has a show? Does that mean people still play it?! Oh and you still dont have anyone that knows anything about pve. Good thing you got Ed to save some face.

I am confused…

PS: dont bother replying to the troll
