New game patch isn't all pets 'n' family trees

The latest Star Wars: The Old Republic update is live: benefits of patching include free game-time for high-level players, an adorable complementary pet, and the deep customization possibilities afforded by the game's new Legacy system. However! The incurably ADD among you will be pleased to know that there's also plenty of explosive conflict on offer – as shown in this trailer, conveniently titled “Explosive Conflict” so you don't go mistaking it for a UI tutorial.

The more thinky players among you – don't worry, we can speak freely while everyone else is distracted by 'splosions – can read more detailed information about the update over at the game's page. There you'll also find a newly-launched contest, exclusive to tOR players, to win a life-sized Darth Malgus figure valued at $6000. Which is an impressive prize indeed – but if this terrifying thing would look at home in your living room, please never, ever invite us over for games evenings.

I love the UI customization, but I haven't gotten to try the new Warzone yet.

The new textures and UI options are a welcome change. SWTOR also gave out free time to players with a level 50 char. I noticed an influx of players returning after the patch too, so now is a great time to jump in to SWTOR. -- I do want more customization options. I would like to be able to have an appearance slot for armor, not just the same color. At least I can turn my hat on and off now.

Lovin' the new update! Great new PvP, Novare Cost; somewhat confusing but ultimately stellar UI customization; nice texture improvement; and although I haven't done end-game content with my Powertech (I'm terrified to tank), it's great they're still adding new content of all kinds. Couldn't be happier with the game. Unless, of course, they'd like to add a wardrobe similar to WoW's, and I can wear all types of gear. :I

When the top swtor guild decides that it's time to bail, it pretty much becomes official.
