SWTOR’s third anniversary is here! We discuss our own impressions and the highs and lows of 2014. A mostly great year, though we believe the best is yet to come!

1. Introduction

2. Tip of the week

Congratulations to this week’s winner, Mariarchi!

Please send your tips to ootinicast@gmail.com by next Tuesday for a chance to win a Taunfawn code, courtesy of BioWare, and an OotiniCast-provided Cartel Market pack from the latest shipment.

3. Holofeed

• Rishi and Yavin 4 will be added as guild flagship destinations at some point in the future.
• The next Community Cantina will be held inside the PAX South convention in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday 23 January 2015.
• Eric Musco (Community Manager) has started a thread asking where everyone was three years ago on 20 December 2013 when the servers went live with SWTOR’s launch. Charles Boyd, Tait Watson, HIllary Nicole and Courtney Woods shared their memories, along with many players.
• There’s also a Facebook album for the third anniversary, in which BioWare developers share their most memorable moments.

4. Community

For those interested in healing, we highly recommend the discussion between Louis (@HealingSwtor, healingswtor.com) and Mae (@Maebeebuzz) on episode 224 of TOROCast.

5. Force Feedback

GasGuy has updated his Codex Tracking Spreadsheet with entries that were fixed by BioWare, and al the new entries on Rishi and Yavin 4. You can always find his latest version of the spreadsheet on our right sidebar.

Chong revels in the seemingly endless supply of slicing nodes on Yavin 4. They’re everywhere!
