3. Holofeed
- Game Update 2.8: Spoils of War was deployed on Tuesday evening. It was accompanied by a developer blog and the usual welcome post.
- The Star Cluster’s Nightlife Pack is now available.
- Since the patch was deployed, most (if not all) servers have been afflicted with “area transition issues”, which should be addressed by a patch being deployed early on Friday morning (US time). That patch will also fix a separate issue that caused Legacy unlocks to not work (such as those that reduce our Fleet Pass and Quicktravel cooldowns).
4. Community
Greg of the Ootini Templars sent us the following, showing the group facing off with the apparently harmless (even when engraged) Grimtooth world boss on Makeb:
Kuze is looking for more to join in his Jawa Joyride on Wednesday afternoon starting at 4:30pm PDT.
A promising new site, swtorapps.com, has been created by @SWTORApps.
