Friday Update: Codex System!


Another friday came and along with it a new SWTOR update!
I have to admit... I really liked this one!
I'll assume that everyone of you have already read the update,
but in case someone has done the terrible mistake to miss this one.......
well... here you go:

Introducing the codex!





If you wanna read about my impression of the update, hit the jump!




What a beautiful screenshot!


The first thing I've noticed on this update was the quality of the in-game graphics!
You can all notice in the picture above, how much have the visuals of this game improved!
I was really really shocked by the quality of.... well everything in this screenshot!
This pic really makes me wanna play this game right now!



Now coming to the update itself.
The Codex system seems amazing!
I'm really into the story itself and I'm a big Star Wars fan! So having all this lore information while playing the game is a great thing to add!
What makes the system something bigger than "just more story", is that it is challenging and rewarding!
You have to actually find all the codex entries yourself, and not just receive them by default!
It is an excellent motive for players, to explore the game's galaxy, to kill every kind of creature, to search every little corner!

As for the rewarding part of the system, here come the datacrons.

These datacrons are hidden in hard to reach places on every planet, and if you find one of them, you receive an permanent stat increase!
Amazing system if you want my opinion!



But in addition to that, something else caught my eye! The "hidden update" in this article! If you take a closer look in the photo below, you'll notice a tab named "Raid Lockouts" ! In a way Bioware confirms for the first time, that raids will be in the game and probably are already included in the current build!



Bioware what more can I say? You make me a happy man! Keep on the good work!

I am waiting for your opinion guys!
