Hey folks,

 

Patch notes will be up by the end of the day, Austin time. I will post in the maintenance thread when they are live. This way I can save your F5 key for the day :rak_03:.

In fairness I think we can guess what the highlight will be, well apart from the changes to the cartel market.

 

EA and Disney are pleased to announce the concluding chapter of Knights of the Fallen Empires (yes we used the name as a throw back to Knights of the Old Republic and no one is really sure how it tied into the last 15 chapters). In this chapter Arcann once again shows his military genius, having lost his capital, his empire, his fleet of invincible ships, his droid armies and most of his knights who have been murdered is now contacted by the person that took all this from him! She offers to give him the location of The Foreigners (The Outlander in Zakuul speak) secret base. Because tracking down someone he held in carbonite for 5 years and did nothing with is more important that getting back what was taken from him he decides to trust this traitor. She even offers to loan him part of the eternal fleet to help out, there is only one stipulation he has to get The Foreigner onto his ship, surrounded by ships she controls so she can take out the one ship and kill both of them at once. Of course Arcann being the genius he is agrees, in no way could this possibly be a trap.

 

Not to worry, having had a bunch of people he/she doesn't trust knowing the location of his secret base the foreigner (damn it his even calling himself a foreigner now) has done nothing to prepare of an attack. No ground to space weapons (despite some cannons having been flown in. No squadrons of ships despite hundreds of supplies handed in, no mines in orbit to blow the crap out of incoming ships. So you get to take the Gravestone, one of the ugliest most useless ships ever designed to attack Arcann on his Turian destroyer, surrounded by the eternal fleet ships cause this couldn't go bad could it.

 

Be amazed as you battle Arcann only thanks to his Reaper indoctrination despite beating him to death in game with or without your newly crafted weapon the cut scenes will show him far more powerful and none of the last 5 minutes of beating on him having any effect.

 

Have none of the questions answered about how Valkorian is the Sith Emperor and seems to have a completely new personality.

 

Be left with no clue as to what the eternal fleet is all about and why Valkorian never used it to aid the sith and why the reapers I mean eternal fleet are so powerful.

 

Enjoy a cliff hanger where Senya and Vaylin disappear, whats happened to them are they allies again, has Senya forgiven wiping out 5 worlds. Don't worry we never got given a name it may be retconned that they were Imaginary worlds!

 

Wonder as to all the plot holes and choices that just didn't matter, or where you other companions are, the state of the galaxy or anything to keep you interested in the next chapter.

 

But most of all be amazed at how 16 chapters later all that seems to have happened is that Arcann has been replaced by traitor. Even if you survive chapter 16 (good bet you will) knows the location of your secret base and will destroy it with the eternal fleet so the base is gone and your probably left bouncing round the galaxy on the gravestone.

So you've read Bioware's Dramatic Storytelling for Dummies, too, huh?

 

I'd be surprised if everything you've described didn't happen.

He doesn't need the traitor. He still had ships loyal to him. You obviously were not paying attention.

 

Please explain how he finds the secret base without the traitor. Or do you doubt that tomorrow we will find out that she told him where it was?

 

Can you explain how the traitor is control of 99% of the fleet but not all of it. Or do you think it will be shown that she actually controls all of it?

 

Obviously I wasn't not paying attention and you can obviously explain how it would make sense that Arcann remained in control of some of the ships when they are all controlled in the same manner; which up until this point was suggested was via the eternal throne and the gemini frequency. But as I wasn't paying attention you will be able to help explain this, as if his proximity to some of the prime droids now controlled by the traitor favour him over her.
