Game Update 7.0.2 is rolling out today for Star Wars: The Old Republic, bringing with it some changes to currency names and functions, minor fixes for companions, combat style tweaks, and more accurate damage estimations in the character panel.
However, easily the highlight of the patch is being able to pick a lightsaber or blaster to match your outfit: “The new customization functionality is now live! You can now have one weapon (or weapons for dual-wielding combat styles) equipped which will determine the stats applied to your character, and stamp the appearance of another weapon of the same type via Outfitter.”
A double XP and double valor event is scheduled to run from May 3rd through May 10th, so make sure you plan your efforts accordingly. Also, if past years are any indication, SWTOR will be granting you a special goody on May the 4th.
Expect the servers back up around 1 p.m. EDT.
All #SWTOR servers are now unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Estimated downtime: 4 hours.
