Episode 172 - Small Things and Big Changes

Did you ever notice that one thing that's bugged you for so long? What about that other thing? There's a lot of little things in Swtor that could stand to be cleaned up. We know the devs are busy doing big dev things, but a little more polish here and there would go a long way! One of those big dev things is class changes. They seem to be hitting pretty hard and folks are leaving the game because of them. What is going on? This week's Outro Music: Victory Celebration Remix by MasterLagger...

Episode 171 - F Your Squeaky Wheel

The servers are back online, and calm has been restored to the land of Swtor. Let's discuss what happened. The daily areas that aren't Iokath are still giving out oodles of CXP. This is such a wonderful development, that we never want it to change! But what about the other daily CXP bonus activities? Is there a good way to make this bug a feature? Is it a payoff for having half a day of downtime during the patch that went awry? After the failed deployment of game update 5.4a, the servers were of...

Episode 170 - March of the Conquest Trolls!

Hey everyone! We're staying dry and our thoughts are with the people down on the Texas coast. It would appear, however that the flood waters washed all the bridge trolls to Austin! The Umbara stronghold remains unavailable for some players. There's been some ongoing discussion about the connection between stronghold completion and conquest bonus. Why? What's the point of getting conquest bonus or completing conquest? This week's outro music Ookay Star Wars...

Episode 169 - Buvette on Belsavis

Hey Friends! Make sure you tune in to a special Bad Feeling twitch stream on Thursday August 31st! We'll be hosting Eric Musco and Charles Boyd in the first ever Bad Feeling Buvette! This episode we talk about game update 5.4 the Crisis on Umbara. What went wrong? Why the anguish? Listen in. What is your ranked PVPness worth? We get rank! This week's outro music: Star Wars Banga by Zobian...

Episode 168 - Wishing on a PVPNess

If your PVPNess stays hard for more than 4 weeks, you may have a problem. Again there's drama with the proposed changes to the PVP system. Now there's anger about how many unassembled components are granted for weekly and daily missions. What the heck, bro? We wish things were different and we list off some of our guildies' wishes too! Wish wish wish! This week's outro music: Get Low Cantina by Boa...

Episode 167 - Haters and Players and Producers Oh My!

Haters and players and producers! Oh My! There's been some hate thrown around our beloved community of content creators. Let's discuss. Not everyone has the same tastes, but that's okay. This is the same argument a lot of folks use against Bioware for not producing the content they like best. Remember folks, we're all in this together - so we might as well make some dick jokes! This week's outro music: Imperial March by Dirt Monkey...

Episode 166 - Topic Talk!

We're quickly moving in slow-motion! Chuck can't wait to be off to the happiest place on Earth. No really. That's not what he calls bedtime, he's headed to Disney World - the home of all the Star Wars things! So, let's have a discussion. What should we discuss? That's what. This week on the DevTracker, Musco asked the community what they'd like to discuss. We took on a couple of the key talking points and gave our perspectives. This week's outro music: Lapti Nek by Meco...

Episode 165 - Manaan and On and On

The Sisters of Carnage have arrived! Brian really wanted them to be characters on GLOW, but instead they are the new Operations boss encounter. SWTOR update 5.3 brings us a new boss encounter, a new stronghold on the water world of Manaan and the removal of legacy smuggling tunings and crystals. Also included: So much Internet rage! This week's outro music: Cantina Band by Jason Hernandez...

Episode 164 - Strong Cartel Holds!

When update 5.3 comes to us next week, we'll see a new stronghold! Brian is holding out for the Oricon ocean of lava stronghold, but the smart money is on Swtor taking their talents to Manaan. A Deep Water Sanctuary might be a slight clue. While looking at the dev post, we noticed that the cartel coin to credit ratio seems a bit skewed. What's that all about? While we're at it, let's talk about the cartel market changes and what we'd like to see with new packs and combo packs! This week's outro ...

Episode 163 - Unbolstered, Naked and Classless

Let's take a look at the community topics that our friends at Bioware have posted. There's the issue of Master Mode Operations Loot Drops - not gonna touch that one. Cartel Market packs are changing - hard pass. Bolster - Chuck will Rage! Class Changes - Everyone will Rage! Listen to the disaster that is Episode 163!

Episode 162 - Keith Said What?!!?

We're here and we're alive! There's been a lot going on over the past couple of weeks. Chuck has expanded his Legacy to include some Indianers. He also brought home a gnarly Indiana cough. In the time since our last episode, Brian had a chance to sit down with the new lead producer, Mr. Keith Kanneg. We got to talk about a wide variety of topics that have been of concern for the playerbase. Server merges, class changes and more are inside! This week's outro music: Cantina Band Remix by Noize Tan...

Episode 161 - Road Map To Hell

It looks like Keith came through for us in the end! Our first road map was delivered in the month of May. As was expected, the community was typically negative. Listen to our thoughts on the near term goals for SWTOR and what we're looking forward to the most! This week's outro music: Clawhammer Banjo Main Theme by BanJoe M

Episode 160 - Slapped in the Face by the PVPNess

We took a week off the get riled up! Chuck is mad as hell and he's gonna take it some more. There's so much confusion about gearing up for end game, that we had to take a segment about it. Swtor is going to have maintenance on May 25th. Some people call this Ascension Day and were hoping to play swtor. Public outcry ensues for all of Europe. Why does PVP gear make Chuck mad? There's a variety of reasons. Listen to them all! This week's outro: The Force Theme by Scandroid...

Episode 159 - A Road Mini-Map?

There's been a delay to the SWTOR road map, but also an update from Keith. We learn what has been cooking over in the Bioware mecha-dome as the world prepares to receive the new Road Map. In addition to letting us know about the delay, we've gotten a few choice nuggets for things to come! Companion influence, GSF, Nightlife! All this and more in this week's episode of the Bad Feeling Podcast This week's outro: Shredisode IV by Anchorhead...

Episode 158 - The Future of What

Let's do this! Bad Feeling Podcast number 158! We talk about what we'd like to see from the upcoming road map. We also talk about some other nonsense. Star Wars trivia is another thing we're bad at. Did you know Porkins had a first and middle name? This week's outro music: Imperial March byGuillermo Dominguez

Episode 157 - Quick Burst GSF!

Has anyone seen my liver? We're moving a little bit slowly after spending time in Las Vegas. While we were away, we've only gotten limited time to play SWTOR, so we thought we'd discuss how you can best budget your playtime for maximum fun! We also discuss the availability of top-end gear and what the nightmare raiders can get (is this another loot-gate?) Chuck, in his GSF wisdom, will talk us through some of the basics of flying a starfighter in GSF. There's a lot of simple things you can do to...

Episode 156 - Welcome to IO Keith

SWTOR update 5.2 is finally here! It also brought a lot more than we had originally anticipated. There are new cutscenes for starting classes. There are hidden (use Google for) achievements including mini-pets! Of course you should enjoy the new story, the new dailies and the new Operation. Behind the scenes, Bioware has made a few changes as well. Ben Irving has moved to a new role within Bioware, and now Keith K. (Musco's boss) has moved into the sr producer slot. What can we expect moving for...

Episode 155 - Rumors, Delays and Cigarettes

It looks like game update 5.2 has been delayed. That's a big 'womp womp' for the whole player base. So what do we think caused the delay? It could be striving for quality or something more sinister... There was also a rumor about the Bioware studio working on a remake of the original Knights of the Old Republic. Should this happen?

Apr 13, 201735 min

Episode 154 - New To Ops and Faction Story Matters!

There's a new operation coming! Holy crap! What do we do? What should you do if you've never been in an operation before? Don't panic, the Bad Feeling Podcast is here to help. Listen to our simple steps for operation success! The new daily area on Iokath will allow players to switch their factions to complete different quests and bash opposing players in PVP. Why should/ shouldn't we be allowed to switch? Story choices matter, don't they?

Apr 07, 201746 min

Episode 153 - A World Full of PvPNess

Bioware is bringing back Open World PVP! When the new planet Iokath comes to the game, we've learned that there will be open world PVP. We've also learned the requirements to enter this magical death zone. As we look over across the landscape, World of Warcraft is adding a new feature in game update 7.2. Its very similar to SWTOR's level sync, with much the same complaints. Discuss Level Sync!

Episode 152 - Cartel it Alone

In our quest to find Swtor news, we found quite a lot to talk about. If this were a Mass Effect podcast, we'd be set! So, what should you do while the rest of your friends are playing a different game? There's a whole lot of fun activities to complete and titles to earn solo. Time to dust off those exploration achievements! Also, Bioware has added a new pack to the cartel market. Its the Agent's bundle. Are bundled packs a good way to go? What's in your bundle?

Mar 23, 201741 min

Episode 151 - Sounding Our Roots

We made it to another milestone. Episode 151! For no other reason than we forgot that we made 150 of these! Let's talk about how we got here. There's a lot of new players coming to the game, and its up to the Bad Feeling Podcast to give them some bad examples not to follow. First up: Our PvPNess! Listen for a few early tips and tricks if you're starting to get into warzones.

Episode 150 - Proceeding Backwards

We're back and Brian has sobered up (somewhat). We return from Mardi Gras break to find a whole crap load of dev posts! Gear is coming back! More command ranks! Less command ranks! Things are for sale! What the hell is going on?

Mar 09, 201745 min

Episode 149 - Get Smart!

This week, we try to elevate the dialog! We make an attempt to understand Greg (ghostwalker) Street's article about the power of your unsubscription. I think we made a bunch of fart jokes instead! Also, Mardi Gras.

Episode 148 - C&B Wish Factory

Happy Valentine's Week! We've been showered with CXP. That means dicks all around. Not sure if that's really what we were after! Let's talk about the different factions in Swtor. Do we need them? How many do we need? In the second segment, we bring back the much-loved "I Wish" segment with some listener suggestions and some of our own. Enjoy!

Feb 17, 201737 min

Episode 147 - What Happened in San Antonio

We had our cantina! We got drunk! What more could we ask for? Talkin' swtor with friends and devs. Once the mind fog lifts, we talk about the CXP changes in 5.1 and 5.1.1 What is going on right now?

Feb 09, 201738 min

Episode 146 - The Magic Word!

They said it! The magic word we've all been waiting to hear! They said Operation! Its really happening! On this week's livestream, the SWTOR devs have discussed the content coming with release 5.2. Master mode uprisings, a new daily area, a new storyline, some companions, but most importantly the beginning of a new operation. It'll be released one boss at a time. This has caused some discussion in the community. Pacth 5.1 also brought a change in the Bolster system for PvP. Why is this a good or...

Episode 145 - Holding Our Breath

As we await the coming of the next live stream, Chuck and Brian speculate about some of the changes we've seen in the SWTOR player base. Are we holding our breath in anticipation of the group content we all want? How is the CXP grind changing player behavior? Be on the look out for people trying new things!

Jan 21, 201737 min

Episode 144 - I Fractured My PVPNess!

Hello Swtor friends! There's another bug to be exploited. We don't have a clear understanding of what Bioware's stance is. We've heard some messages through the podcast grape vine (shout out Corellian Run Radio!), but nothing official. This segues into a discussion of exploits in PVP. There's a different mindset to bugs in PVP. Brian has been playing with his PVPNess as a tank. It goes pretty badly, but there's some discussion about what to do.

Jan 13, 201742 min

Episode 143 - Why do we RNG

Happy 2017 everyone! We start the year on a bit of a down note. Carrie Fisher has passed away, and there is discussion of adding a memorial to her or Princess Leia into Swtor. Also, we're still hung up on the concept of RNG gearing. Why does this exist? What are we doing wrong?
