SWTOR's Patch 5.8 Livestream Highlights Gods Of The Machine Lore

Yesterday, the Star Wars: The Old Republic team decided to give players a taste of what's to come in the game's next major patch in a 40 minute long dev stream. During the stream, they showed off the new Conquest UI, revealed that players will be able to catch up with Ashara and Vector -- provided they're playing the right class -- and dished on the new Gods of the Machine operation. They even threw in the Izax trailer for good measure.

Izax -- for those who don't know already -- is a powerful droid weapon located on Iokath. He's a Nightmare level encounter and so far, no one's been able to defeat him on the PTS. Watch him in action in the stream embedded below.
