![Heroic Missions aren't a new concept in SWTOR. Players can easily solo 2+ Heroics on starter planets once they acquire their companion, and with certain combos can easily duo Heroic 4 missions late game. Heroics provide higher awards than most missions, such as custom orange gear, artifact grade modifications and, in the case of Voss, reputation trophies. While we aren't sure if Heroics will be involved in regards to Makeb reputation, like Voss, we know there are plenty of Heroic Missions on Makeb, according to the Achievements list.There are a total of 8 Heroic missions - 3 Heroic 2+, 4 Heroic 4, and one that is simply labeled "Heroic".

For two weeks, we have been periodically logging into the Public Test Server for "Star Wars: The Old Republic", since they announced the public test of Game Update 2.0 on Feb. 20. Among the changes to end game, commendations, and skill trees, a lot of information has been found, via achievements and reverse engineering, in regards to Makeb, a new planet coming in the upcoming digital expansion, "Rise of the Hutt Cartel". New species of beasts to defeat, materials, and much more are waiting for us on this new Level 50-55 planet, and here we will highlight each piece of information.
"Star Wars: The Old Republic - Rise of the Hutt Cartel" has no release date, although BioWare has told us the digital expansion will come out this spring. Pre-orders made before Jan 7 will be receiving exclusive early access, so when it launches we will be there to report on new changes, and ultimately review the expansion for readers.
