Point of View : Are Nightmare Modes actual content?
A battle hardened Knight once said, “…many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.” These are mine. Are Nightmare Mode Operations back-of-the-box content? Is it something a developer can add to the list of goodies you can enjoy when playing their game? Nightmare Modes are achievable and important, [...]

Point of View : SWTOR is like Disney World
A battle hardened Knight once said, “…many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.” These are mine. The vocal minority is making sure the interweb hears how upset they are about SWTOR’s Cartel Market and so called broken promises about subscriptions from the Devs. It all surrounds this [...]

Patch 2.1 wait… What day is it again?

200% XP – The Ilum Factor : Part 2
It seems the patch didn’t ‘fix’ the Bolster for low level characters on Ilum. It has not been said if this will now be listed and an exploit, or if it will negatively effect a players’ account. At this point why even do it? The Devs have already said it’s not in their vision for [...]
