Here are the patch notes for Star Wars: The old republic – game update 6.1.1 Highlights Conquest – Several quality of life changes have been made to the Conquest system. Our goal with these changes is to make Personal Conquests relevant to all character levels, not just those at end game content. Personal Conquest objectives are now split into three level ranges, each offering different and more relevant objectives/rewards. Personal Conquest objectives now have a shortcut to pick up the relevant mission, open the relevant window directly, or open the galaxy map when applicable. Many additional objectives have been added to each Personal Conquest, offering more ways to achieve Personal Conquest goals on more characters. Double XP Event – Starting April 21st and lasting until May 19th, there will be a month-long Double XP event! Enjoy a full month of Double XP, Valor, Renown, and more.

Do Video Games Affect Academic Performance?
If you spend many hours (50+ hours) a week playing video games, then there’s a problem. But if you spend a few hours (5 hours max) a week playing video games, your academic performance shouldn’t be affected. As a student, you have a pile of different assignments and other tasks that come along with the education process.

However, successful students know that organizing yourself is all you need to get good grades. What every student has to understand and implement is that there’s a time for everything, a time to play, and a time to study. There are two main…

Does Better Hardware Result To A Better Gaming Experience
The last thing you want as a gamer is faulty hardware that is constantly breaking. Whether you’re looking to play a causal game on your console or get extra competitive with a game on your computer, the right hardware will ensure that your gaming experience is as good as possible. Many people do not realize the difference better hardware makes because they have never upgraded to it, but once a person upgrades to better hardware, they simply cannot return to the original devices they used to use. Hardware can span from components inside a computer or device, to physical peripherals you use like a controller or mouse. Upgrading any of these can drastically improve your gaming experience and ensure that the time you spend playing is time well spent. Better hardware results in a much better gaming experience. Here are a few examples of hardware upgrades you can make to…
