The latest update for SWTOR is live and players can finally wage war on Iokath – but which side will they choose?
After some issues with Star Wars: The Old Republic last week, as Patch 5.2 did not meet internal quality standards, BioWare has finally made adjustments. As of today (04/18/2017), game update 5.2 “The War for Iokath” is live, and the patch notes have also been released.
Especially Sith Warriors and Troopers should be pleased, as they will reunite with their companions. Malavai Quinn and Elara Dorne appear throughout the story and may – depending on the choices made – not be fully convinced by the player.
Apart from a happy (or dramatic) reunion, the story surrounding the machine world Iokath itself is likely to impress. After completing the storyline, the player gains access to a new area with daily quests where they can support the Empire or the Republic – a decision that can be made anew again and again.
Fans of operations are finally getting fresh content again. The “Gods from the Machine” operation challenges players and is likely to present Raiders with new challenges.
Lastly, the star map has been updated. It is now accessible almost everywhere, and the associated fast travel options allow for even more comfortable travel through the galaxy. In most cases, a manual trip to the spaceship is no longer necessary.
You can find the full patch notes in German as usual in our sources.
