We're just a few scant weeks away from the launch date for 6.0 of Star Wars The Old Republic! Our friends at Bioware have been hard at work on the PTS making lots of changes to the gearing system, fine tuning the new operation and listening to testers' feedback! Let's take a quick dive in to what we've seen lately...
I've forgotten how to write show notes! We're back after another grueling month in the summer heat of Austin. The Bioware folks have given us a firm launch date for Onslaught. Its not in September, but we'll be happy to have it in front of us. Let's look at some of the updates that have come to the PTS and see what we can uncover!
Let's talk about the June PVP report! Mike B has been hard at work hunting and punishing cheaters, and he took time out of his day to drop some knowledge on trolls! We also take a very brief look at the short-lived PTS. If you blinked, you probably missed it, but there's some good stuff in there!
Hi friends! We've got a fresh podcast for you! Its been a little while, and we'll fill you in on what's kept us away for a bit. Our buddy Musco gave us the gift of show prep this week with some Dev Tracker gold! June doesn't mean what we think it means! Listen for more randomness...
Its summer time and the time is right for swtor in the streets! In years past, we've had mid-summer events to keep us engaged with Star Wars The Old Republic. This year we take it up a notch with the Bad Feeling Summer Camp!
This week, our friends over at Bioware put on a Live Stream like no other! We learned so much from the crew that it requires an entire podcast to decipher and react to all the information! We learned about changes coming in Onslaught, that may sound familiar! Ding! This week's outro music: Star Wars Finger Style by Kelly Valleau
We've learned a lot more about the new in game event for Star Wars The Old Republic! When we travel to Dantooine, we'll find more pirates and different sets of missions depending on when you visit. With all the new changes we've seen in the game, why has crafting been largely ignored? Brian has a list of wants for crafting to make that aspect of the game better than ever!
The cameras are back! Not that you podcast listeners should care, but we're back on Twitch. So... yay? In addition, there's been a handful of things to discuss with Star Wars the Old Republic. SWTOR has been tagged with a case of the Fake News! Reports of its death are greatly overrated. Our friend Mike Bradley posted the April PVP update and an explanation of something called "Death Volumes" They go to eleven. There's been some discussion about the HK subscriber reward chapter. Should it come b...
There's a new contest! Guild heraldry is a thing, and we need guild logos! Head over to https://swtor.jedipedia.net and try out the Guild Banner Designer.

So much to talk about after Star Wars Celebration! Let's discuss the Episode 9 trailer and the SWTOR 6.0 announcement!
We're back after a long recovery following our South by SWTOR event! Let's go over all the fun things we learned there, including the identities of some more nefarious players around The Old Republic. If you've watched the Dev Tracker, you'll see that the first sweep of win traders has taken place. Listen to learn more! There are a lot of great things happening in the community, especially leading up to Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. Be on the look out for info regarding the SWTOR Fan Communi...
New things are on the way for Star Wars The Old Republic! Guild Heraldry is a thing. We prefer the term 'space logo'. Our friends at Bioware announced that with game update 5.10.2 we'll see space logos. Also some other fun tweaks to the preview window and more. Did you know win trading was still a thing? There are also still exploits happening. Bioware dev Mike Bradley is prepared to bring down the hammer. Finally, you may know that we complain about gear. A lot. Dicks in boxes. Boxes of dicks. ...
Someone's been naughty! This week there was a screen cap of a post that originated on a set of forums under NDA. The influencer program has been in place for a while now, so let's discuss what's going on!
Five dot Ten dot One dot What dot Thing has been deployed! It brings the end of Ranked Season 10 and the lair boss with the Hive of the Mountain Queen. And some bugs. And a bug queen. And another currency! Remember when Bioware told us there were too many currencies so they scrapped most of them? Ossus Farms remembers. Let's take a look at what's going on here. Ranked season 10 rewards are also different. No weapon set! No mount! No idea why! Older rewards will also be available for purchase as ...
Hello friends! Let's talk about Star Wars video games! There's been a few items in the press lately about EA. They scrapped one Star Wars game; there's another Star Wars game supposedly coming out; Disney likes EA making Star Wars games. All the while, our beloved Old Republic gets the stepchild treatment. What gives?!? What would we like to see? Here's the petition that Robert started if you want to make your voice heard! This week's outro music:...
There's new gear to be had on Ossus! What does it take to get it? Who wins, and who loses (hint: GSF always finishes last) There have also been more and more Star Wars Fan Films. Vader: Shards of the Past has been getting a lot of great reviews, and has also attracted the attention of our overlords at Disney. Look out creators everywhere!
Welcome back from break! Let's discuss some of the fun that has taken place since we've been gone. There have been some more bug fixes and some more bugs. Most notably has been a conquest week of Total Galactic War. We declare: Shenanigans! It seems like not everything is above board!
How long since we did The Bad Feeling Buvette? Its only been a week, so let's discuss! Then we'll talk about all the things that we saw in Star Wars: The Old Republic in the year 2018. Some good, some not so good, and a whole lot of...

Star Wars: The Old Republic is bringing another new system into the game. Now we're going to see Guild levelling and guild perks. What does that mean? Let's dive in to see how perky we can get! This week's outro music: Star Wars Medley by Taylor Davis
When Star Wars: The Old Republic introduces a new tier of gear, there's always some discussion about how it will affect the rest of the game. The same is true this time around. When iLevel 252 and 258 gear becomes available, it appears that PVP players will be at a disadvantage. We have a solution that we believe will work for all players and solve a lot of problems at the same time: Let's get Naked! This week's outro music: Imperial Hip Hop by Grand Jedi Master 7860...
Hey gang! Since the last time we talked to you, there's been a lot of information dumped on us about the next SWTOR game update. 5.10 brings us the Jedi Under Siege!

This week's Bad Feeling Podcast brings a discussion recap of last week's PVPness interview with our friends at Bioware. We move on to some things that we haven't heard from those folks: A Fall Roadmap. We've reached the end of the summer map, and haven't heard any rumblings of a follow-up. The back half of the show is a discussion about Legos! The Star Wars branded Legos have traditionally fallen into two categories: cheap sets or very expensive sets. Now there is a new line of sets in the $20 t...

You shall be smited with the ban hammer! Casey Hudson, General Manager for Bioware delivered a summer update that mentions our beloved SWTOR! The O...
More PTS goodness for all! There's going to be more fun PVPness and another whole room added to the Rishi stronghold. Unfortunately, this means the launch of game update will be delayed at least a week. Last weekend at San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that there will be another season of the Clone Wars. Chuck and Brian are not excited. Why is this happening and what would we rather see?
