Dev Post JackieKo Posted September 30, 2022 Dev Post Share Posted September 30, 2022 HI all, We announced the second Best View in SWTOR contest yesterday. It will run until October 12th. The ten chosen planets are: Alderaan Coruscant Dromund Kaas Hoth Quesh Taris Manaan Rishi Odessen Iokath We're looking forward to seeing all of your screenshots! Please be sure to fully read through the article linked above for all the guidelines. Also, I am curious to know if you all saw/were aware of the contest based off of the announcement post on the right side of the forums main page. If you saw it, didn't pay attention to it, and/or would prefer threads be created in conjunction with announcements, let me know! This is a new feature that I want to utilize in the future for events such as these. Thanks! Jackie 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new feature that I want to utilize in the future for events such as these. I hadn't noticed that because I'm used to just bookmarking the general discussion and dev tracker. I didn't bookmark the old forum main page because half the screen was filled with the top section community stuff that never changed. It was more convenient to just bookmark the specific things I wanted to see. I will try bookmarking the main page now and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiranea Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Really happy to see this contest return. I already submitted shots for a few planets but hopefully I'll come up with some more. As for the announcement, I first saw it on Twitter and then also noticed it on the forum sidebar. I was a bit surprised when this post came up on the dev tracker because my mind kinda went "wasn't this already announced yesterday" without realising that it had only been posted on other channels.

codydmaan Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Not a awesome event. There's no real incentive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, this contest is very fun for players like me who truly enjoy exploring the 'galaxy' (rather than same old boring kill-loot-trollfleetchat-rinse-repeat routine) . p.s. As i already posted earlier ^^ , why is this thread still not STICKIED yet?!?!?! Edited October 8, 2022 by Nee-Elder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Neaj Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Just thought about this reading the instructions and rules, etc., It says the winner of whatever planet gets picked, they get a gilded Version of their winning shot. Wouldn't it be nice for the winners to get the package of all the ones pick from this contest??? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General is where I find most of the information I'm looking for, and where I post most of my comments and such. Maybe I'll look around the other categories to see if it would be worth bookmarking.

No because i'm pretty sure the whole purpose of the 'gold/gilded' version is to make it exclusive (rare) for only that specific planet's submitter/player. We all (all players in the game) get the regular eventual version at the Fleet vendor, iirc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice the "Second Best View" competition announcement on the forum; I saw it the the main SWTOR page news section (29th Sept). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
