SWTOR To Begin Server Move to the Cloud Next Week, and Update 7.3.1 Will Begin a Changed Galactic Season 5
11.08.2023 - 22:07 / mmorpg.com / Next Week / Will
Star Wars: The Old Republic details update 7.3.1, which will usher in Galactic Season 5 and some tech updates. The team has also announced that the previously-announced server move into the cloud will start next week.
Next week, on August 16th, after a series of tests that also involved moving the Public Test Server over to the cloud and moving a server to AWS in April, they will start moving the game's servers over on August 15th. The goals of moving the servers will be to make things faster and to let the team focus on improving the game and running the game instead of having to manage the servers as well. This is also part of their modernization efforts. The first server move will happen on the 15th and it will involve just the Leviathan server. Once this server has been successfully moved and everything checks out, they'll begin revealing dates for the rest of the servers.
Update 7.3.1, currently targeted for late August or early September, will start Galactic Season 5, “Confidence in Power”, which comes with a few changes. The first is the new way of making story progression part of the rewards track. As you progress through the season reward track, you will start unlocking new story missions. Additionally, you will not get a new companion this time, but you'll meet several new characters during the seasonal story. One of them is an astromech droid named 3V-1L, who will test you.
“Under the command of a mysterious Master, 3V-1L will test the player through a series of trials, to see if they are worthy of the Master’s teachings of the “dark side”. Whether this is a prank or a serious threat, the player must decide how deeply they will commit to these “dark” trials to uncover the truth.”
Another change involves new objectives that will have companions such a specific roles, space missions, and operations. more objectives will be available for subscribers or those with preferred accounts. Details on that are coming.
The patch will also make some UI/UX improvements to the HUD and world maps. One you'll probably notice pretty fast is when quick traveling, there won't be a separate travel map but you'll see it on the world map with the points instead.

Ben Affleck said he wasn't happy about recent Jett nerfs at the 2023 Valorant Champions event, and I think he's serious
I used to be a Matt Damon guy, but the older I get, the more I find myself in Ben Affleck's corner. I'm not really sure why—maybe it was the purportedly-drunken (and very funny) Armageddon DVD commentary, maybe it was the existential crisis he appeared to very suddenly and quietly suffer during a Justice League presser—but whatever it is, his recent appearance at the Valorant Champions 2023 event pretty well sealed the deal for me.

Bandai Namco reckons Armored Core 6 will do well because after Elden Ring, FromSoftware's name is 'a guarantee of quality'
FromSoftware's upward trajectory with first the Souls series and now Elden Ring has publisher Bandai Namco feeling bullish about its return to Armored Core, a mech series that began in 1997 but had been dormant since 2013's Armored Core: Verdict Day. It may be on to something, because our own Wes Fenlon described Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon as «Top Gun: Maverick for anime nerds like me who grew up enraptured by Mobile Suit Gundam instead of F-14s» on the way to awarding a shining 87 score. I mean, that sounds pretty great.

Diablo 4 season 2 will let you farm for specific Unique and Uber Unique items
Blizzard tonight announced that Diablo 4's second season, named Season Of Blood, will begin on the 17th of October. Given that the first season is uninteresting, I'm not super fussed about that. What does sound good is quality-of-life changes coming alongside the new season. For starters, your inventory will no longer become clogged with six billion gems. Season Of Blood will also let you pick specific Unique and Uber Unique items to farm bosses for, which is most welcome given how vital Uniques can be for builds. Here, watch the trailer.
