Plenty of news, including the deployment of Game Update 3.1.2, featuring the Low Slash bug, the latest quality of life improvements from Game Update 3.2 on the PTS, and much more.

1. Introduction

This week we welcome two new guests, Jeremy and Sechari.

Jeremy’s (@Darksplat) gaming history started with a Commodore 16 (I didn’t know that was a thing!), and he’s always been a Sega console fanboy (with such hits as DaytonaUSA). His first and only MMO prior to SWTOR was Lego Universe. He’s currently a proud member of the Ewokalypse Now (Republic) and Warchild (Empire) guilds on The Harbinger.

Sechari (@iamsechari) is a streamer, hosting his show The Inner Sanctum on most nights starting at 10pm Central Time (US) on his Twitch channel, twitch.tv/sechari. Be sure to like his Facebook page! He’s the guildmaster of the Vindictive guild (Empire) on The Bastion.
