As I’ve been playing The Old Republic, I’m consistently impressed with the little touches BioWare has put in, to show how much time\/effort\/energy they’re spending on making this the best game they can.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example… \u00c2\u00a0when playing my Smuggler.. there are lots of points where the background music is the same music from the Smuggler Armor Progression video..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So far though, my favorite ‘little touch’ is that BioWare has started emailing you when you hit level 10 and giving you some of the ‘what next’ information.. links to advanced class information, progression guide, war zone information, etc..<\/p>\n

Here’s the majority of the email I got when getting my baby Jedi Knight alt to 10:<\/p>\n

Helpful email is helpful!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The only “issue” I have with this…. is that it came the next day, so if I’d seriously been leveling that character.. I’d have probably already selected my advanced class.. \u00c2\u00a0I’m guessing that the delay is simply because there are so many people playing\/leveling that the system just can’t crank out the emails fast enough..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Still.. this is a VERY nice touch on BioWare’s part, and will provide some excellent information to new players.. very nicely done guys..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
