In the news, we discuss Game Update 5.7a, the delay to Game Updates 5.8 and 5.9, and the BioWare livestream for Game Update 5.8. Then our guest Dr SWTOR discusses his innovative ideas for his new Twitch channel.
1. Introduction
Dr SWTOR (@Infinite0utcome) is now streaming at twitch.tv/infinite0utcome.
2. Tip of the week
Please send your tips to ootinicast@gmail.com before the next show for a chance to win a Taunfawn or M8-3R droid code, courtesy of BioWare, and an OotiniCast-provided Cartel Market pack from the latest shipment.
3. Holofeed
- Game Update 5.7b was deployed.
- In the upcoming change to the Conquest Stronghold bonus, duplicate Strongholds (only possible as a result of recent server mergers) count towards the per-Stronghold maximum of 25%. Also, to get that 25%, a given Stronghold has to be entirely unlocked.
- The Conquest vendor will be on the Fleet when you’ve “completed your Personal Conquest for the week”.
- Game Updates 5.8 and 5.9 have been delayed by a week, with Game Update 5.8 coming on Tuesday 20 March, and Game Update 5.9 on 1 May.
- Dulfy provided the usual outstanding summary of BioWare’s livestream.
- Drew Karphyshyn has left BioWare (again).
- Jon Favreau will executive produce and write the upcoming live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new TV channel.

Here’s the information for Streaming Hawke’s contest:
I’m announcing an “Ugliest Costume” contest. Create the ugliest, most horrible looking SWTOR character/costume you can and send pics to @streaminghawke on Twitter with the #ugliestcostume or to the official SWTOR Gamer’s Club Discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/j8yakZe) in the Ugliest Costume Contest room. 1 entry per person please.
