Plenty to talk about this week with the (early!) arrival of Game Update 4.7 and Chapter 16, along with the August Producer Livestream. Knights of the Fallen Empire is done, very much setting the stage for Knights of the Eternal Throne!
1. Introduction
Chill has been having fun with the Prisma app on Facebook using a screenshot of Kaliyo:
2. Tip of the week
Congratulations to this week’s winner, Dave! Thanks to Pyrochenko for entering.
Please send your tips to ootinicast@gmail.com by next Tuesday 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 4.7: The Battle of Odessan was released a day early due to the client patch accidentally being made available ahead of the scheduled maintenance.
- Some players were caught by a versioning error that rendered some of their characters unplayable. This was subsequently remedied in a server-only patch on Tuesday morning.
- Players who had already obtained the Dark vs Light (DvL) achievement for completing all Hardmode Flashpoints did not receive the Legend tier achievement; this will be remedied in Patch 4.7.1 next Tuesday.
- The August Producer Livestream features the usual crew (Ben Irving, Charles Boyd and Eric Musco). Eric has posted a summary of what was covered, and there’s also Dulfy’s write-up.
- EA has filed their Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, following last week’s earning call.
