Grey Helix Components and Why they are fun
First let me direct you to this monster of a thread gaining momentum in the official SWTOR forums. The original poster, Valefor, asked to make the Grey Helix components Legacy bound. This is a request many players want. Both sides of the argument, for or against, making them Legacy bound have merit. The whole Helix [...]
The Grand Acquisitions Race: A Review
SWTOR’s second live event, The Grand Acquisitions Race, has come to a close. This is an event that had rumors flying around for quite a while before it started, which meant the expectations of most players were set pretty high. It’s also important to note that four, long months have passed since our last in-game [...]
Free-to-Play SWTOR – Making the Right Decision
By now we’ve all heard the news about SWTOR going hybrid-style free to play this fall. The news has given fans of the game some big questions to ponder. How will BioWare’s F2P model hold up to other F2P games? Is continuing my subscription worthwhile? Will EA/BioWare give in to the ugly beast named “Pay-to-Win”? [...]
1.3 A Stepping Stone to X-server Group Finder
With Patch 1.2 out and Patch 1.3 on the way, “soon” the much toted Group Finder will be upon us. Whether it will be a success or just a stepping stone for cross-server is yet to be determined. To be same-sever or not to be, that is the question. Bioware initially was not a fan [...]
Making Our Own World PvP
You have a brand new lightsaber and you really want to drive home the news to the opposite faction players. Seeing them in an occasional warzone isn’t enough, you want those PvEers to know too. Reputation is important right? Or maybe your on the other side of the coin. There is a brand new lightsaber [...]
The Bright Side of the Ranked Warzones Delay
After canceling the release of Ranked Warzones a single day before players were expecting them, Bioware has yet to give us an update on their status. They haven’t even said the typical “we’re working on it but can’t set a deadline” and no one on the dev team has commented. Unfortunately, if they had good [...]
A Review of the Rakghoul Plague Event
Tatooine is free from the encroaching rakghoul plague, and players have had a lot to say about the event and how it all went down. Most players were pretty satisfied with Star Wars: The Old Republic’s first major in-game event, and many had some excellent feedback for James Ohlen. He asked for our player feedback [...]

Just in case you haven’t done the quest yet to grab the Crimson Rakling– your very own red rakghoul vanity pet– now’s your chance to find out how! The Rakghoul event will continue until Monday night, so there’s still plenty of time to complete the quest chain. First things first, let’s head to Tatooine. The [...]
What Could Be: Four Mini Games for SWTOR
No MMO is complete without mini games. SWTOR is no different. Many people were excited about BioWare’s April’s fool joke of playing virtual janitor. During the Guild Convention, they did confirm that mini games would be coming, but they have yet to announce any. While we wait, in no particular order, are 4 mini game ideas: Swoop [...]
SWTOR from Pre-Launch to 1.2
After only 4 months SWTOR has seen a staggering array of changes, both good and bad. And while some events have sent fan boys raging, others have brought frustrated players back into the fold smiling. So it’s time to take a look at those changes and how they have affected the game. We’ll discuss everything, [...]
Guardian PvP: Vigilance Spec in 1.2?
People have been afraid of +6k Force Sweeps for a while now, but the biggest buffs to Guardians were in the Vigilance tree. Players of all classes should know that Master Strike is now uninterruptable and does 15% more damage. Don’t bother kicking a Master Striking Guardian, either stun or run. Also, Dispatch, a Guardian’s [...]
Why is Cross-Server Warfront a Good Thing, but Not Cross-Server LFG?
BioWare’s original stance was that implementing cross server PvP and LFG would destroy the community by ruining the social aspect of the game. However, Cross-server Warfront will be coming soon after patch 1.2. Despite the fact that BioWare has changed their stance on cross-server Warfront, they still hold the belief that cross-server LFG is bad. [...]
Playing the Leveling Speed Game
Leveling has come a long way. Back in the newborn age of MMOs, leveling in a game like EverQuest was an adventure in itself that took months of grinding and teaming up with other players to make the most out of everyone’s time. Many Eastern MMOs followed the same tradition, and feature experience curves that [...]
Jedi Consular Sage Seer 1-50 Leveling Guide
The Seer spec of the Jedi Consular Sage advanced class is a healing focused character class. When you’re not healing as a Seer you can put out a respectable amount of DPS, and have several utilitarian tools and crowd control abilities. Thanks to your strong healing capabilities and decent damage output Seer survivability is high, [...]
SWTOR Mechanics 103: Crew Skills
Welcome to SWTOR Mechanics 103. Previously we discussed Attributes with SWTOR Mechanics 101: Attributes and Game Mechanics with SWTOR Mechanics 102: Game Mechanics. But what about Crew Skills? Crafting has been an integral part of many MMO’s over the years, but BioWare’s take on the familiar is definitely a departure from the classic mold. Click [...]
Introduction to Ilum PVP – A Video Tour
Ilum is one of two areas created purely for world PVP. Swtor’s initial foray into this area of gameplay was a bit bumpy, but after the 1.1 patch, the area has become much more stable. This commentary will show viewers the basics of Ilum as well as some neat little tricks to ensure a fun [...]
The Republic Trooper – Commando Healing
Hello all and welcome to another guide by myself, Elicas. This is my guide for Commando healing. I’m hoping to make this guide the ”go to” guide for all things Commando PvE, from healing your first instance to healing the MT at the latest raid boss. This guide will include which companions you can get, what [...]
