The Holocron

Ahh BioWare, you begin to please us once again.  Look kids, spies, just like your buddies here at The Holocron told you there would be.  And more time line-y goodness.  Isn’t it just wonderful how it all comes together with my return to the internets.?  It’s like a little present all wrapped up for you [...]

So, I’ve been slowly going over the latest video, pulling out bits of information as time allows…. And then I found this: http://darthhater.com/2009/07/18/dissected-videodoc3/ Just…you know…go look.  And then comment here.  I didn’t miss much, as far as I got, but I didn’t get very far in…

New update on Friday.  I’m so stunned that I’m going to let one of our fans sum it up: Valyn Post subject: Flashes of what the demo was finally!

Finally!  An update worth chewing on has occured.   Just as promised we’ve got a sweet new Timeline video to check out and it’s all about the Mandalorians.   If Mandalorians aren’t a playable class I’ll eat my hat.  (Note: I do not actually own a hat.)  You may begin digging for further hints here. [...]

Just as the Devs promised, the Smuggler class has been revealed.  Naturally we get to see some of their combat abilities, but on top of that (and certainly most important to a certain segment of the community) female characters have been confirmed. Can anyone tell what that is that the smuggler grenades in the first video?

This can only be described as incredible.  Some observations on the video, which is linked below, are that the female bounty hunter is pretty hot, but deadly!  The companion character, who in my mind is a yet to be announced Sith Class that may mirror the Smuggler stands behind the Sith and I love the [...]

Well it’s Friday.  And this Friday means that somebody, somewhere, decided to make up for last weeks rather sad update.  And how did they choose to do that?  Why, with a Dev Dispatch Video all about The Republic Trooper, of course.  It seems so obvious now.   Catch the video after the jump.

Some folks have been asking about our Guild, The Order of 66.  I can see why; we mention it on every show.    So I thought I’d give everyone a taste of what it’s backstory is going to be like.  This is a teaser though, so, like Bioware, we’re not giving everything away at once. [...]

So a while back the Devs released the Galactic Timeline video.  At the time we didn’t have this nifty little website to make wild, unconfirmed guesses on.  We just had to use our forums.  So here is a bit of a retread for those of you just joining us. I took a screen cap of [...]

Since the appearance of the latest Dev Video there has been quite a bit of discussion on the SW:TOR forums about environmental effects, specifically Day and Night Cycles.  People seem to have become all agitated over the subject, some coming down on the side of “It’s okay if they don’t have it.” and others demanding [...]
