Swtor Dark Vs Light

BioWare has announced a new initiative to encourage more new players to jump into Star Wars: The Old Republic with the Light vs. Dark event, scheduled to go live on all servers on June 28th, 2016. The event does not have a set end date, and is intended to be experiences with characters created on or after the event's start date. The focus of the event centers on the light side and dark side decisions made by players throughout the event to unlock one of two companions depending on the majority of the choices made. Along the way, players will have the chance to earn several new titles, mounts, armor sets, and will be able to collect crates that will gift players with items from previous cartel packs, similar to the current Grand Chance Cubes.

Requirements

All characters taking part in the event must be created on or after June 28th, 2016. Any characters that exist prior to the event will not be able to participate. Level 60 characters also cannot participate. In addition, if players do not have additional character slots availible, they must purchase additional ones through the Cartel Market, which could mean purchasing a subscription to apply the slot may be necessary. 

All expansions must be purchased in order to access appropriate content for later tiers. 

Tiers

There are six tiers that can be completed, each with it's own set of required achievements to be collected. While most of these achievements are already in the game itself, there will be an additional section of the Legacy tab that will show these ones specifically.
