Friday Update: Bounty Hunter Report + PAX East Details

Today’s update is indeed an “update -and-half” as Stephen Reid promised, as Future Bounty Hunters from around the galaxy rejoiced!

First up, as was widely speculated after IGN’s exclusive Bounty Hunter class video reveal yesterday, is the long-awaired Bounty Hunter class page refresh, bringing it in line with the other updated class pages.

As with each class page update, we now have information about the Bounty Hunter’s known associates (Mako), their starship (Kuat Drive Yards D5-Mantis Patrol Craft), potential species (Rattataki) and of course the defining class video.

Also revealed were the final details for next week’s much anticipated PAX East gaming convention on Boston.

While we already had details on the booth hours and the developer meet & greet, this time around we got the goods: We’ll be able to play a group encounter of the Taral V Flashpoint! This is an “extended gameplay experience” and it will be great for so many players to get so much hands-on time with the game.

In addition to Taral V, the public will be able to get their hands for the first time on the Jedi classes and their homeworld of Tython! In fact, every original world and class will be available for play at the convention.

The TOR Booth (#912) will also be running constant live presentations of the game as well as Q&A sessions with many of the developers, including Lead Designer James Ohlen and Lead Writer Daniel Erickson.

It sounds like TOR will have a huge booth, and be making quite an impact at PAX East, and of course Ask A Jedi will be there bringing it all back to you, while you lounge around at home in your Yoda slippers munching on a Darth Vader grilled cheese sandwich.

The full details of the PAX East festivities can be found here.

Also don’t forget about the SWTOR Community Cantina, where you’ll be able to meet and greet with members of the community and many of your favorite fan sites! This promises to be a great time in the casual confines of an authentic Irish pub! Find out more here.

We truly can’t wait to meet everyone!
