Preparing for release of the next update - Update

[UPDATED] We have completed the new update and submitted it to the app store at this time.  This update should bring the data back in line with the recent large patch that was released for SWTOR.  The new update will also bring with it some interface boosts that retina display users should be especially happy with.


Here is a little sneak peak of what is to come.

Advanced Class Select - Sith Inquisitor

Work underway on the next update

Work is well underway on the next update.  We are hoping to have it ready to submit soon.


The biggest feature this update will have is an update to graphics and the interface.  Along with that we are busy checking over data again to fix any errors we can find in the skills and trees and squashing any smaller bugs we come across.

Update 1.1 has been submitted

Update 1.1 has been completed and is currently waiting for approval.

Change that will be found in this update once it is approved are as follows:

  * Updates to a few items in the skill tree data that had errors during the initial entry.
  * Modifications to the damage calculation formulas used for skill descriptions in order to make them more accurate.  The formulas are now based on the stat bonuses and damage from the starter equipment each class receives.  This gives a stable base for the calculations and will be further tweaked as needed to make them as accurate as possible.
   * The save/load file list dropdown menu now shows a scroll bar if the list is dragged up or down.
   * The save file list now scrolls down to show the empty file slot at the bottom of the list.
   * New buttons for the add/subtract buttons for skill points that are larger and should be easier to click. (per user request)
   * Miscellaneous minor bug fixes and cleanup.

 If all goes well and the backlog of holiday submissions to the app store has died down, this update should hopefully be available by the end of next week.

Waiting for the app store still

We are still waiting for App Store approval at this time, even though it says that 96% of all new apps submitted the last 5 days have been approved.  While we are waiting, data continues to be verified and formulas for damage calculations are being further refined for accuracy. 

So far, 5 of the 8 base class paths have been adjusted and verified as being accurate at this time and any  adjustments to values should be released shortly after the initial approval.
