Game Update 2.7: Invasion is here! We discuss our initial impressions of the new content, along with other news from around the galaxy.

1. Introduction

2. Tip of the week

Congratulations to this week’s winner, Russ! Thanks to Raymond, GasGuy, Jay Connell, Mark, Fisk, Ben B and Bara-dur for entering.

ArticueGaming has a new channel that will be primarily PvP tips and video for SWTOR.

GasGuy recommends swtor-holo.net‘s guides for leveling your crafting skills.

Please send your tips to ootinicast@gmail.com by next Wednesday for a chance to win a M8-R3 code, courtesy of BioWare, and an OotiniCast-provided Cartel Market pack from the latest shipment.

3. Holofeed

Game Update 2.7: Invasion was deployed during regular maintenance on Tuesday. We recommend Dulfy’s various guides that comprehensively cover what’s in 2.7. Note that with their new delivery cadence, we can expect maintenance every three weeks, excepting the times when an emergency patch needs to be deployed.

You can see the analysis of the data associated with Ranked PvP Season 1 on our Leaderboards page for solo and group.
