A popular fix went in with 5.10.4 which allowed ranged companions to once again decide to run in and join the fight, even if they initially happen to be out of range. A great “Yay!” was heard echoing through the force.

The PTS is live-ish now. Jump in and try the proposed changes to inquisitors and warriors for Onslaught which is coming in October.

Our Summer of 300 event just got a huge shot in the arm with the start of a month-long double xp event!

AIE Summer of Love was officially kicked off in SWTOR with a special MEGA event. Not only that, but it was MEGA’s one year anniversary! Marcus entertained the crowd with trivia and prizes contributed by ElionD, Maellung, and Zen as we took on the Ancient Threat on Yavin IV. Many awesome screen shots were taken of us on the beach of Rishi. Check back later for screenshots of us by that vanquished boss….

It will have 2 new dungeons as well as quality of life improvements for the base game. it features a prologue quest with the return of Sai Sahan, even if the manner of such return is still unknown.
