New Flash point: Elm

One of the key components of Patch 7.0 is the new Flash point Elm, under which we go on the hunt for Darth Magus. Elm is for both solo players and are in multiplayer mode, and plays an important role in the story of The Legacy of the Sith.

Darth Magus has set out for Elm to investigate ancient ruins there that should have originally belonged to the Sith Lord Darth Unable. Because there is no record of Darth Unable, we do not know what is going on with the ruins up. The only certainty: If Darth Magus is interested, there must be hidden dangerous things. The republic has sent there, a team of archaeologists to leave the matter to the bottom. However, the Empire has gotten wind and sends commandos to archaeologists stopped. To find out what happened there but heard both the Republic and the Empire have nothing for a while from their units, so we travel as a player there.

New operation: The R-4 anomaly

In addition to the Flash point Elm there s The Legacy of the Sith also a new operation (Raid) called The R-4 anomaly. This raid is to shortly after the release of patch 7.0 will appear, but there is still no final release date.

changes to the classification system: For us, a natural evolution

When The legacy of the Sith appears, you are allowed you looking forward to a decent makeover for the class system of SW TOR (buy now). namely, you enjoy in the future much more flexibility in the class choice and are no longer tied to the storyline of a class. This means you can, for example, a Sith Inquisitor play while experiencing the storyline of the bounty hunter.

We asked the developers why they have just now decided to adapt. Charles Boyd has told us this in the interview:

The ten-year anniversary of SW TOR was a way to reflect for us. I think that happens naturally. We wanted to make sure we make something big, something exciting, which [...] offers new options [...] even experienced players. [The adaptation of the class choice] was also a more frequent desire of the players and we as a developer also wanted to offer more possibilities, as you can play the game. [...] Because we put such a great value on the story, the class choice is limited slightly, [...] We talked about many variants, as we can change that, and what exactly pleases us is that they are firmly established. So you know if you see a character with a particular weapon, what you see Expected. [...] If you now want to be a Counselor with two lightweights, then you can now do that now. For us this was a natural evolution of the game. When asked if the developers do not fear that the class system could be arbitrary with the changes, Boyd also said:

I always found that we were exactly the opposite, namely limited. That s why I was looking forward to now that we can now offer more options. [...] I think it s the fact that exactly that in the character creation It becomes clear what the differences are. [...] You will also receive fewer options when you are new in the game. We want to make sure that you can make an intuitive Star Wars experience. Source: Bioware Source: Bioware Source: Bioware Source: Bioware Source: Bioware

So you may look forward to a class system with Update 7.0, which allows you to clearly more freedom and flexibility than before.

Boosts, story aids and more

But even players who have not yet created a hand to SW TOR or after a longer break on a return to the world of the Old Republic and the Sith Empire, have reason to enjoy. As the developers have insured us in the interview, there are various catching mechanics and helps for new players and returnees:

Players can acquire a liveliest, which increases your character level on stage 70 (without story). There is a character token that boosts your character at the start of the current storyline.
