I've heard that some of you are a bit confused by all the changes to SWTOR that came with patch 5.0. Here's a quick guide that should help you enjoy the upgrades.

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

A quick bit of important news --
The 250% XP and CXP bonus will be a 3.5x multiplier.

The folks at Bioware somehow thought that a 250% bonus was a 2.5x multiplier, but once fans pointed out that they had the math wrong, they increased the bonus to the promised amounts.

The bonus starts now and lasts until April 10. It stacks with XP boosters.

There is no better time to level characters! :)

Also, don't forget to scroll up and read about that super-easy screenshot contest for the rare Daggerstar mount!

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

I really miss horse racing in LOTRO and would love to get some pod racing started in SWTOR.
As you probably already know, racing is a player-hosted social event open to all classes and levels.

If you get a chance, please take a moment to reply positively to this post in the SWTOR.com suggestions forum about Pod Racing:

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9292620

Thank you!

It has four different kinds of PVP play --
* Open world PVP in specific areas where you can choose which faction to fight for that day.
* Standard instance-based PVP on a variety of battlegrounds.
* Huttball, a sport sort of like wild space soccer.
* Galactic Starfighter where you build, crew, and upgrade your ship in space battles.

I wouldn't say that PVP is the biggest draw of SWTOR. IMHO, the best part of SWTOR is the roleplay, especially through the cinematic class stories. Even some of the large group missions have RP build into them. The player housing system (both planet-based and starship) is really amazing. Of course, Begeren Colony is primarily an RP server, while other servers are much stronger in PVP, so take that for what it's worth.

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

This weekend is a great time to stop by for a visit!

Celebrate EA Play to Give in the Galactic Defender Event

From Friday, June 2 through Sunday, June 4, jump into Star Wars: The Old Republic and join the Galactic Defender Event to celebrate EA’s Play to Give program.


Through Play to Give, we’re celebrating the importance of inclusion and play and the positive connections it makes for all the diverse players around the world. Help us celebrate what everyone in our galactic community contributes to our galaxy!

This weekend, team up with friends new and old in battles across the galaxy and get rewarded*:
All players who log in during the Play to Give campaign receive the new ‘PL-2G Defender’ Battle Droid mini-pet.
Plus, if players join with 1 or more friends in 1 million or more total group activities across the SWTOR galaxy, all players who log in during the Play to Give campaign will also receive the ‘Galactic Defender’ in-game title!

Rewards will be delivered via in-game mail by Wednesday, June 7.

Here are some tips to join a group:

    Ask anyone in guild chat to team up.
    Invite another player to be a part of your group by typing ‘/invite [name of player]’ or you can right click on the player’s name in chat and invite to group.
    Click the Group Finder icon on your minimap and queue for multiplayer battles.
    Join multiplayer battles at Level 70 through Galactic Command (press CTRL+G).


Here are some suggested group activities in the game to get you started:

Flashpoints – Band together with three trusted allies to undertake these dangerous story-driven missions
Uprisings – Team up with three other players in erupting fast-paced, action-packed battles at Level 70
Operations – It’s up to your team of 8 or 16 players to confront some of the powerful threats in the galaxy
Player-vs-Player Combat – Make your mark in 8v8 PvP Warzones or 4v4 Warzone Arenas
Galactic Starfighter – Take your battle to space and experience intense 12v12 free flight dogfighting
World Bosses – Join with a large group to defeat the highest level boss on various planets called the ‘World Boss’
Story missions – From class missions to story chapters in the latest Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion, help your friends level up as they make their way through the story
Heroic missions – You’ll want to team up with one or more friends to take on these group missions that are slightly more difficult than your standard world missions
….and more!

EA is partnering with United Nations HeForShe, a global solidarity movement for gender equality and anti-bullying organizations PACER Center and Ditch the Label to give back to our player communities. EA will donate $1 million to these charitable partners that are already making a difference for a better internet.

Learn more about these EA Play to Give partners and stay in the conversation on all things Play to Give here.

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

There is another huge round of upgrades coming to the game and one thing in particular you will want to be aware of.
As is the trend with MMOs these days, they are moving players to a smaller number of more powerful servers.
Characters will be given name priority based on subscription status, last login, and level.

TLDR: You don't have to subscribe, just log in each of your characters for the best chance at keeping your name.

A quick login by October 10 is best, but as long as you've done it by October 23, you should be okay.

If you're interested, you can find more info here: http://www.swtor.com/info/news/news-article/20171002-0


EDIT: Someone asked for the server destinations...

Begeren Colony, Bastion, and Harbinger are moving to Satele Shan.
Ebon Hawk, Jedi Covenant, Prophecy of the Five, Jung Ma, and Shadowlands are moving to Star Forge.
Progenitor, Red Eclipse, and Tomb of Freedon Nadd are moving to Darth Malgus (Europe/English).
Battle Meditation, Darth Nihilus, and Mantle of the Force are moving to The Leviathan (French).
Jar’Kai Sword, T3-M4, and Vanjervalis Chain are moving to Tulak Hord (German).

The LMB-friendly guilds will be moving to Satele Shan.

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

Just a quick FYI -- get a free mount!

You can redeem your SWTOR New York Comic Con speeder early with the code NYCANTINA17.
* Go to https://account.swtor.com/user/codes
* Enter NYCANTINA17
* If you are already in game, close the game completely and restart it.
* Check your in game mail for the new Korrealis Viceroy speeder.

You may also get some other mounts and pets. Plus, you're more likely to keep your name in the upcoming server move.

re: Star Wars: The Old Republic -- Satele Shan Server

Since several of you have SWTOR characters, I thought you might want to know about this special event coming up.


When United Forces goes live, we will be offering new rewards for reconnecting with friends and guildmates in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Log in and play between November 8 – November 27, 2017 to get new rewards*:

* Earn the merciless Darth Hexid Companion when you complete three PvE or three PvP missions through Group Finder by the November 27th deadline!
* Plus, unlock the new ‘United Forces Group Recon’ achievement when you complete three PvE Group Finder activities and get the new ‘United Forces Warzone Recon’ achievement when you complete three PvP matches through Group Finder!
* Finally, once United Forces goes live, get double rewards: Double XP, Double Command XP, and much more through November 14!

NOTE: All achievements are unlocked in-game as earned. The Mini Mogul Mini-Pet and Darth Hexid Companion are delivered via in-game mail on November 28, 2017.
