Addressing the Recent Influencer Communication Controversy on the Forums #InfluencerGate

- by Xam Xam - Leave a Comment

Most of you who regularly read my content and/or follow me on Twitter likely know that I am a Bioware (SWTOR) Influencer. The program was started around the start of 2017 and I got into the program in November 2017. Back then I was Blogging on my old Website Xam Xam Says. So what is the Bioware Influencer Program? Basically, it’s a program that recognises SWTOR Content Creators and gives them access/goodies. So what do we get exactly? Exclusives/Early Access to Info Easier access to developers (via private forum/email) Promotion of our content by SWTOR on social media A quota …

PvE Healing 101 Guide by Lorhin

- by Xam Xam

Written by Lorhin, Edited by Xam Xam. Healers heal. Obviously. Everyone knows that. I could just end the guide here, but you didn’t come to read my guide just to see me tell you what the healer’s job is in a one word summary. You came here probably because you were interested in becoming a “good” healer instead of a “bad” or “meh” healer. Or maybe you were just bored and had nothing else to do. Either way, if you have any curiosity on what I have to say on this subject, keep reading. So…who am I? I am Lorhin. …

A Look Back at 2018 – SWTOR Edition

- by Xam Xam

The expansion drought continues for The Old Republic. It’s been over two years since 5.0 came out. 2018 gave us a few Updates with some story, some PvP and even some Operations content. I haven’t really made much of a secret of the fact I haven’t played SWTOR that much throughout 2018. I dabbled in the game here and there around Game Updates and did a fair bit of PTS testing for Game Update 5.9.2. But beyond that, I haven’t really done much throughout 2018. The game overall continues to be marred by a horrible gearing system (especially for PvP) …

- by Xam Xam

For a very long time, many Old Republic players have longed for the story to return to its roots and go back to the focus being on the Republic versus Empire conflict. Finally, that day has returned. The new story that came with The Old Republic’s Game Update 5.10, Jedi Under Siege, signals a return to true form. A nostalgia trip the fans deserved. But it’s not just one story. 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 …
