I received a suggestion via twitter to take a look at the GTN screens, and as my consular often reminds me, \u201cThe Jedi way is to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aurebesh used on the four large monitors adorning the Galactic Trade Network kiosks seen on the Fleets, Nar Shaddaa, Odessan and possibly your stronghold is primarily\u00a0used as a design element. While the screens can be translated into actual, though often fragmentary words, they don\u2019t make sense in context.<\/p>\n

Read a lot of Aurebesh displays in the game and you\u2019ll eventually see a stock group of phrases repeated over and over. \u201cWill proceed as scheduled.\u201d \u201cAt full power\u201d \u201cAll systems active.\u201d There are many others. Fragments from these can be read in the two GTN screens featuring the weapon and armor graphics. This collection of phrases is SWTOR\u2019s version of lorem ipsum<\/a>. The nonsensical writing\u00a0is meant to evoke the kind of text on monitors you\u2019d see around the galaxy rather than have specific meaning.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The GTN\u2019s other two large screens\u00a0display a random selection of letters and numbers much like\u00a0a stock market ticker. Similar information appears in the holographic \u201ccrown\u201d rotating above the kiosk. Whether the letters and numbers have any significance I can\u2019t say. Perhaps the artists snuck in their initials and birthdays, or just pulled them out of a hat. All I can say is that I know what I would\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

This last screen is\u00a0on the interface\u00a0players click on to access the GTN, and it does contain text that makes sense in context. The monitor flashes through a variety of\u00a0items while\u00a0displaying\u00a0sale, refund credit, and purchase labels and prices. When it comes to their customers\u00a0the Hutt Cartel, which runs the Galactic Trade Network, wants to make it clear that they appreciate their\u00a0patronage.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The War For Iokath<\/h3>\n

Thursday\u2019s long awaited live stream<\/a> finally gave us some details regarding the next major content patch for SWTOR. My first comment is that the broad strokes of what they announced absolutely should\u2019ve been shared\u00a0in October, if not sooner. Fans and subscribers should\u2019ve not have had to wait until two months after the launch of the expansion to know that more story, a daily area and operation content are\u00a0indeed coming. Certainly details surrounding the setting and story could\u2019ve been held back, but, as both a fan of SWTOR and a guild officer trying to keep my friends engaged, I was very frustrated that KotET launched without even a hint of what the end game is to be. And, no, Galactic Command is not end game. Not even close.<\/p>\n

Time gated raid content is not my favorite thing, but I agree that launching one boss at a time is preferable to delaying the whole thing until the autumn, so I will take what I can get.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to exploring Iokath and having a go at the Master chapters and uprisings. And, yeah, I\u2019ll be charging into that Operations instance day one. If all I cared about was raiding, then I\u2019d probably sit out the next few months, but if there is other new stuff to do, I\u2019m on board. What I liked about KotFE is that that the chapters came at a steady and reliable clip, and in the meantime, it is up to Bioware to do the same and keep KotET interesting.<\/p>\n
