Things of Note

• New operation on Iokath called "Gods from the Machine" - first boss is "Tyth."
• Boss #1 - Tyth
• Boss #2 - Aivela and Esne
• Boss #3 - Nahut
• Boss #4 - Scyva
• Boss #5 - Izax
• New Iokath daily area with achievements.
• The "Nerf Herder" achievement is now obtainable. It looks like you can obtain several Nerf pets and feed them new items to "earn their trust".
• Some talents/abilities were renamed in the system to match their current localized 5.x names (no impact in-game)
• New Cartel Packs: Warbound Crusader
• 246 and 248 rating gear added to the game files
• New Companion: I-O8
• 10 new cutscenes (similar in length to a chapter), 5 shared cross-faction and 5 unique to Republic/Empire only.
• SPOILER: Iokath daily area has dialogue between Theron Shan and his father, Jace Malcom, and Empress Acina, Lana Beniko, Elara Dorne, and Malavai Quinn
• SPOILER: Entries with "Darth Malgus" in the name appear in the Iokath files. Perhaps he is involved in the story once more?
