Darth Malgus’ Return to The Old Republic Explained

- by Xam Xam

Darth Malgus’ return to the Old Republic was well received for the most part. But those who played through the Imperial story quickly realised that something wasn’t quite right. He is not the same Malgus we had known and loved from launch. In this article, I’ll explain what happened to him and what’s going on now by answering some commonly asked questions. How did he survive? Originally, in the False Emperor Flashpoint, you knock Malgus down the shaft with a grenade (later on, they changed it so you could just kill him).

A Look Back at 2018 – SWTOR Edition

The game overall continues to be marred by a horrible gearing system (especially for PvP) …

There are two separate stories, one for each faction. And going, forward, there will always be a separate story for each faction. We may be seeing the same events from each …
