This Flair is available to all players, not just those of you launching the game through Steam! So, be sure to login and get your Pipeworks Flair.
Flairs add visual appeal to your character’s portrait. They do not have any other function or means in SWTOR. Some are animated, like this one, others are static. Some Flairs may display a tier or a rank achieved by your class, based on the type and model of the flair you have choosen.
Shae Vizla: Your Own Mandalorian Companion
The legendary Mandalorian warrior Shae Vizla has returned! Simply ensure you are a subscriber at any time between August 28th, 2020 and October 5th, 2020 and Shae Vizla will be granted to all characters on your account.
Any subscription from either swtor.com, Steam, or gametime card will qualify! This is a limited time offer so subscribe today and head into combat with this legendary warrior at your side. Offer expires on October 5th, 2020.
It’s interesting to note that Shae Vizla was first introduced to the SWTOR universe in a cinematic trailer called “Deceived”, which premiered on June 1st 2009.
In the game she was given away for free as a Subscriber reward for April 2018. She appeared in Chapter 14 of Knights of the Fallen Empire as Mandalore the Avenger.
BioWare also announced this on Twitter with the following message:
Based on this announcement, it seems that the promotion is not limited to Steam only. You will get the rewards even if you have not tried the Steam version of SWTOR yet.
Since last month SWTOR launched on Steam. Three Steam Bundles were also added for purchase on Steam only. The contents of these bundles are not exclusive, though. Each one of the items you will find inside are available for direct purchase at the Cartel Market (the game’s store).
If you want to get a better look at what you purchase, check out the Steam Bundles reviews here on VULKK.com:
Just recently we learned the names and requirements of all SWTOR Steam Achievements. Take a look, be prepared when they launch with 6.1.3 in September. All Steam Achievements will be retro-actively awarded if you have earned them before they were added to Steam.
