Infernal Empire Meets Tarro Blood

After a disappointing Guild Headquarters Phase 3 assignment, Infernal Empire has decided on Tarro Blood for its home in Star Wars: The Old Republic!

The son of Alderaanian nobility, Tarro Blood renounced his privileged existence as the heir to a minor lordship in favor of pursuing greater glory and fame as a galaxy-renowned Mandalorian mercenary.

Leaving his past behind and taking on a new dramatic moniker, Blood was able to prove that he was no pretender after years of training under a famed Mandalorian champion. Under the guidance of this exceptional tutor, Blood became a feared warrior and the favorite to claim victory in the next Great Hunt.

Unfortunately, Tarro Blood’s characteristic arrogance and sudden rise to prominence rubbed his competition the wrong way. The other Mandalorians in the competition made it their mission to ensure that he never came close to claiming victory. The resulting defeat nearly cost Blood his life, in addition to his pride, and he has remained away from the public eye for nearly a decade.

The Doctor has Spoken! NDA Lifted!

As part of today’s Friday Update for Star Wars: The Old Republic Dr. Zeschuk announced that BioWare has lifted the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Folks,

As of now, the non disclosure portion of our Game Testing Agreement is officially lifted. While all players must still accept the Game Testing Agreement, from this point on testers may now freely talk about their experiences this past weekend in the game, as well as post screenshots and gameplay videos of their testing experiences. We encourage you to come join us on the official Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Forums to share your experiences!

The Star Wars: The Old Republic community site will have a copy of this message on the forums and it will also appear in the Patcher. Players may not talk about nor reprint posts from our testing forums as they are still fully covered by the confidentiality portions of our Game Testing Agreement. And all players who want to participate in the upcoming Beta Test Weekends still have to accept all terms of the Game Testing Agreement. So, other than that, free feel to talk about and share your experiences in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

My thanks go out to everyone who has beta tested and continues to beta test the game. It has been with your help and feedback that Star Wars: The Old Republic is where it is today. We really appreciate your efforts.

May the Force be with you!

Greg Zeschuk
VP, Electronic Arts, BioWare Austin, General Manager

Friday Update: Imperial Agent Character Progressio...

This week’s Friday Update for the Star Wars: The Old Republic gives us the Imperial Agent progression video. The video gives a good look at both Advanced Classes. The Operative is shown using stealth and crowd control to get the upper hand on her enemies. The Sniper makes use of portable cover and high-powered rifles to take out her targets from a distance.

There was also an update to the official pre-order page that mentions the length for early game access at officially “up to 5-days” based on when you registered your pre-order code.

Guild Headquarters: Phase 3 Has Begun!

Today, BioWare updated the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website with the start of Phase 3: Deployment for the Guild Headquarters which brings us that much closer to the actual launch of the game.  Phase 3: Deployment will see any guild that meets the pre-designated criteria be transferred into the game for launch. Before we begin this process, though, we want to give all of you who are in guilds the opportunity to make sure your guild meets the following requirement for transfer:

• Four members of the guild must have pre-ordered the game and redeemed their Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center.

This weeks Friday Update consist of four parts including a new trailer named Signs of War, the Operations Game Systems page, a new global release date of December 20 and a reminder of BioWare’s attendance at the Paris Games Week from  from October 21st to October 25th in Paris, France.

The Signs of War trailer is narrated by Satele Shan and details the Trooper’s name from the Hope trailer. The new Operations Game Systems page contains mostly information for the previously announced Eternity Vault Operation, but also hints at a new Operation on Hutta.
