Star Wars: The Old Republic delays its next two patches slightly

The next patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic brings with it a new boss and some pretty significant changes to the game’s Conquest system (our own Larry talked about those changes recently). Unfortunately, you’re going to have to wait a little longer for it, as the developers feel like the boss encounter needs a little bit more tuning. It’ll be going live now on March 20th, so rather than a week of waiting, you’ve got a week and some change.

Needless to say, this has a knock-on effect for other releases, so patch 5.9 is also getting delayed by a week to May 1st instead of April 24th. Obviously, no one likes delays, but it’s up to you whether or not the transparency overrides your need to have a new thing here right now. But in two weeks you’ll be conquering small portions of planets on your own terms, so that should work out just fine.
