- 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 …

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) …

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 …

Looking Back on 2018 – ESO Edition

- by Xam Xam

Elder Scrolls Online had a massive 2018. With quarterly content release cycles, there was always something to look forward to! I started out the year mainly doing solo stuff then the last few months getting full-on into PvP. The content released was fantastic! Both the Summerset and Murkmire stories were excellent! The environments of both the new zones were incredible. I’m continually blown away by the beauty and detail of this game. The new houses released this year were incredible. The Princely Dawnlight Palace and the Enchanted Snow Globe Home were particularly amazing. However, it’s very disappointing that they still …

Here’s a quick outline of what you should know so you’re prepared for Game Update 5.10 (if you don’t already). Note some info in this article could change as it’s based on PTS.
