During E3 2011, the Hater team experienced the Tatooine Jundlands Waste at level 26 and there was plenty to talk about after the first run through. This post will receive frequent updates during the convention week so make sure to check back throughout the week for more. As it content filters in, we will send update notifications via Twitter.

- Jawa companion (Blizz) confirmed in play session
- Khem Val seen has a charge ability
- Xalek seen during play session, first time since the December 3rd event in 2009.
- Quest items are separated into another tab in your bag
- Companion kits seen again, this time shown as items you equip to your companion, kits unlock abilities for your companion to use on the battlefield.
- Companions had access to Stasis kit, Shockwave kit, Medipac kit, Grenade Pack kit.
- Lieutenant Pierce seen as Imperial Trooper companion of the SIth Warrior, seen before in a prior video but now confirmed as a companion.
- Some quests show up as a radar effect with hovering over the quest area, showing off a distinct difference between that quest type and others on the map. In the case of the quest we experienced, it required us to kill Sand People until one of them dropped an item we needed to locate the lost SIth Lord.
- Imperial Agent companion (Scorpio) seen here again, shown in past trailers, female looking silver mech, described as cold and hates the Imperial Agent player character.
- Self Resurrect is called Medical Probe, cooldown increases the more you die, you are invulnerable for 12 seconds, must get to a safe area in those 12 seconds, effect looks similar to stealth
- Speeder bikes do not appear to be items, looks to be an ability, might have been an item that are clicked once to acquire
- You can hop on your speeder bike while mounted, includes an animation on the ground when you hop, speeder bikes tilt with movement as well
- In stealth combat targets will detect you quickly unless you engage them immediately, can't stay near a mob while in stealth
- Companions instantly go into stealth when the player goes into stealth
