A short information blast related to skill training costs in TOR, a reminder about the SW Commander Tournament 2 competition since the game will update soon and scores will disappear, and information on how to unlock Geonosis in Star Wars Galactic Defense.
The worst part of leveling up is paying for all your new skills. When I hit 58 a few days ago I watched as my 400k credits dropped to less than 20k while training. Disappointing. However, Bioware has heard player feedback and starting next Tuesday there will be no skill cost associated with training skills (Class and Advanced Class). Training fees will remain for Crew Skills.
Check out the post by their Community Manager for more details!
The Competition for this is running for a few more days to allow time for you to upload screenshots. The Tournament actually ends in the next few hours. Make sure you get your screenshot and submit while you can!
Several members have emailed asking if I had heard why they were unable to unlock Geonosis after earning 48 stars on Endor. PRT Cruise of House Scholae Palatinae followed up with the SW Galactic Defense support staff and learned that in order to reach Geonosis you'll need to earn all (180) Stars on Endor. Its a good thing this competition is running through the end of the month, it may take a while to get to this new planet.

Jeez. 180 stars on Endor? Hopefully I can get that, but gotta wait for my iPad since my iPhone is really struggling to run the app now. Really frustrated with the grinding aspect of the game, but gonna keep going, hoping that they resolve some issues with that balance.
Yeah, I'm working on Endor also right now, only like 15 stars in. I've seen some YouTube videos showing Geonosis unlocking at 48 on Endor, but I'm not expecting it until I finish it with 150.
There may be a CF reward bonus in store for folks due to this added unexpected challenge...
Commander would be a considerable sight more fun if it actually worked.
I'm not expecting to participate in this one. Apparently I'm terrible, I'm already struggling a fair bit just trying to unlock Endor. Much less Geonosis. But we'll see, I suppose.
It's not your skill, Musium. GD is very much geared for either tons of grinding to get your levels up slowly or spending real money.
Oh, also just got a big SW Commander update. it changed the look of a couple of my buildings (made my level 7 unit transport look a lot cooler).
The actual patch notes read:
Also, it looks like they also stealthed in Level 8 for your base to be upgraded to, as all my structures that were level 8 now have an upgrade option and Vader shows up as requiring a level 8 hero command.
Just downloaded this update also. I finally get most things to lvl 7 and they add Lvl 8... Typical. :p
Sweet, also a countdown to a new campaign (guess that should have been obvious since they always seem to start soon after a patch)
anyone playing the Galactic tower defense add me on FB so we can give each other energy and reinforcements plox ^^ need to grind my butt off to get to geo :( FB addy is my email name.
Looks like I need to create another SW Commander competition later tonight!
