Hey folks, 

I’m here with a follow up on the modernization changes that you may have seen on the PTS. While this post talks about content currently on the PTS, it does cover a pretty broad topic hence why this is being posted in General Discussion. 

As we talked about in last week’s livestream, planet and character modernization would be hitting the PTS in last week’s build. In that build we saw a shader bug which caused unintended texture changes to character models, and we’re looking to have a fix applied in a PTS build that we’ll be pushing out this week (exact date and time TBD). When that build goes out, we’ll make a character modernization feedback thread in the PTS forums and assess further feedback that comes in. 

Relevant to character modernization as a whole, we did see several common sentiments (outside of the reports of the contrast issue) from feedback received the last few days I wanted to address. 

When is cha...

Hey all! 

Thanks for the feedback on the character modernization. I don't have all the info now, but I can confirm there is a bug in the shader change that is adding an unintended amount of contrast increase to characters skin. We'll be looking into this further and will post more info later. But wanted to pop in and let you all know!

Hey Community!

I’m here to give you more details around the new Augments we’ll be releasing with Patch 7.6.

3 New Tiers of Augments
Augment 83 (Item Rating 296, Prototype)

  • These Augments are meant for players who don’t currently have Augments and find it too costly to obtain the Augments currently available. For this reason these Augments have an item rating lower than the current Superior Augment 77s.
  • The tradeable schematic to craft these will drop from Propagator Core XR-53 on Story difficulty.
  • Crafting these Augments will require Combined Crew Skill Materials, Processed Isotope Stabilizers, and Solid Resource Matrices.
  • When deconstructing an Augment 83 there is a low chance to learn the schematic for Augment 86.

Augment 86 (Item Rating 302, Prototype)

  • These Augments are a stepping stone to Advanced Augment 86 and will provide a...

Hi everyone!

Important notes for this current iteration of PTS: 

  • Players can either fly to Ilum and walk through the phase door or use Group Activity Finder (this will be the only Encounter listed in that window). 
  • The name of the Encounter is called Relentless Replication
  • Trash mobs have not yet been implemented. 
  • Gear vendors are available in the Supplies Section of both Fleets and near the phase gates. 

Please answer the following questions about the new lair boss, the Propagator Core XR-53. Feel free to also leave overall general feedback. 

  • Did you enjoy fighting the Propagator Core XR-53 on Veteran?
  • What was your operation comp by role?
  • Knowing that the art is still WIP, did you find that an ability was confusing after you had seen it multiple times? Put another way, did you find what the boss was doing to be intuitive?

(Ilum 2023 winner)


We are back with our fourth Best View in SWTOR contest! As with previous years, we’re looking forward to all the creative shots our players will be submitting. Starting today, players can submit screenshots taken anywhere on five select SWTOR locations. We’ll choose the screenshot that we feel captures the essence of that environment, so get creative! One winner will be chosen per location for a total of five winning submissions.

The winning submissions will then be turned into Stronghold decorations and distributed by the Anniversary event vendor in-game! The five eligible locations for this contest are:

  • Ziost
  • CZ-198
  • Section X
  • Minboosa District
  • The Black Hole

Some further thought regarding the Lethal Strike ability and Tanks, since this appears to be intended as a tank swap mechanic.
As far as I presently understand it, the debuff on dps and heal are not intended as part of the mechanic when played as intended by the devs, but as punishment in case of incorrect positioning etc.

In our only run with tank, the tank had already one debuff stack and was one-shot by the second Lethal Strike (546k), (no idea why the quality of the screenshot is so bad, sorry for that):
