Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hey folks,

I wanted to give you a quick heads up on our plans for the next little bit as we have 3 patches coming to you in pretty short order.

7.4.1a will be coming ASAP, likely tomorrow. This is to address an issue that the Join the Fight mount is not currently working at level 1 as intended. Jackie will be posting details once we have locked down maintenance timing.

7.4.1b is right on the horizon, targeting early/mid next week followed by 7.4.1c in the next 2-3 weeks. We are tracking a variety of emerging issues for these patches such as Ancient Armaments and Conquest/Rep change. I’ll be back later today or early tomorrow with a follow-up post about our internal conversations following your feedback on the Conquest/Rep changes.

I’m gonna lock this thread for now and will respond here later. I will reopen the thread when I do!

Thanks all, talk soon.

I've been subbed since Dec 1 2023 and I have no free transfers? 

 

If you meet the criteria stated for free transfers, and are not receiving them, I encourage you to reach out to support. And please be sure to include your account name. You can either follow these steps or email [email protected].

Hi all, 

We're using this space to track known issues regarding 7.4.1, and will be updating as needed.  

• Players may notice that winning a Warzone match doesn't grant double points for Heading the Frontline season objective. 
• New Fitted equipment is a bit over-represented in world drops and treasure hunting boxes are affected as a result. We'll be altering the drops a bit to bring the original drops from worlds closer to how they were before.
• The new Fitted equipment is not listable in the GTN. This is not intended.
• The "Edifice Engineer", “The Builder”, and "Grand Architect" season vendor titles are not unlocking in Collections.
   

While this is not directly tied to 7.4.1, we did want to call out that we are aware that some Steam players are being required to accept the EULA agreement upon every log in and are looking into a fix. 

Hey folks!

We are seeing reports from players who are confused with how the Galactic Seasons 6 currency functions. This was not originally included in the GS6 article, but the two intended changes below will be reflected there and in the patch notes as well. 
 
Reputation Track
Galactic Seasons 6 does not have a Reputation track like previous seasons. There is still an item to collect the same way you collected Reputation currency in the past. However, it is for Achievement tracking only and progress is granted when you collect it - you're safe to sell them for credits! It’s worth noting that these will cease to drop when you’ve unlocked the achievement.

Reputation Conquest Objective
The amount of Conquest points earned for the Reputation Conquest Objective was reduced. This particular objective was over-represented in objectives completed and needed to be balanced. We've added new objectives to h...

Hi everyone,

Star Forge is back online! Appreciate your patience with the issues players were seeing with how the GTN was functioning on the Star Forge server. There were reports of some auctions that were purchased on the GTN not arriving in the buyers’ Claim Window.

We have identified the issue and it has been fixed. For players whose items were impacted by this issue, credit and item refunds will be applied back onto their accounts during tomorrow’s maintenance.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, 

7.4.1 patch notes are now available here! 

Thanks! 

Hi again, 

We will be taking down the Star Forge server in approximately 15 minutes to further out investigation. When we bring it back online, I'll update this thread. 

Hi everyone, 

We are aware of an issue that players are seeing with the functionality of the GTN on the Star Forge server. The team is currently investigating and when I have more info, I will update this thread. 

Thanks! 

Hello folks!

Just wanted to pop in real quick and give you some more info about these since we haven’t released all of the details.

What are these exactly?

So these Armors and Weapons are new versions of existing ones that had randomized stats and that there was no other way to acquire their appearance in the game aside from existing world drops. These were no longer available to trade on the Galactic Trade Network due to the backend changes, but there are others that may not have been tradeable at all. There are a lot of them! Hundreds of weapons and over 2000 armor pieces. The sheer amount is why we didn’t post a detailed list.

Ancient Armaments Login Reward Calendar

This reward calendar will operate very similar to our 3 existing reward calendars, complete with Achievements and various items available on the track. This has been added to the rotation...

Hello everyone!

Mark your calendars! Game Update 7.4.1 "Building a Foundation" will be releasing on March 12th!

• Time: 7am CT / 1pm UTC (note that DST is happening on March 10th)

Though patch notes will be available on Monday, I did want to let you all know about some highlights beforehand.

• Outfits will now be included when characters are transferred between servers.
• Ancient Armaments Added To Daily Login Rewards
  • Ancient Armaments contain various armor appearances including ones that were difficult to be acquired and could not previously be traded.
  • These armor pieces do not contain stats or mod slots and are intended sole...

Hello everyone, 

Below are some commonly asked questions that we have seen pop up since the 7.4.1 livestream and the answers to them! 

• Can we use credits to purchase the additional three room unlocks? 
  • Yup! The initial 6 room unlocks are on the F2P and Sub tracks of season respectively as noted during the stream and then the other 3 rooms can be unlocked like a normal room in a Stronghold with either Cartel Coins or Credits.
• Do I have to buy the modernized Utility Bundles? 
  • Players who have the OG utility bundles do not need to purchase the modernized ones, they will just be updated with 7.4.1 launch.
• Will we increase the SH limit?
  • The limit is set as 20 and will not be increased at this time. 
• Will Guilds be able to set the new Copero stronghold as their Guild Stronghold?
  • Only...

Good morning, everyone! 

ICYMI, the 7.4.1 dev stream is now up on our YouTube channel and the recap blog has been published here. Thanks to everyone who watched yesterday! We did see a couple of follow up questions floating around, so we'll be working on consolidating those and posting a follow up in this thread. 

Thanks!

Hi folks, 

We saw a lot of feedback come in from the weekend specifically around credits and the 90 consecutive day Subscriber limit since APAC launch for free transfers. We had some additional conversations based on what we’ve seen on the forums and other platforms, and will be making the following adjustments. 

• The credit limit will now be 15 million per character. 
• To qualify for the 16 free transfers to Shae Vizla, players must be a current Subscriber and have been an active Subscriber since January 2, 2024. 

Appreciate all of your comments. We’ll continue to keep an eye on feedback that comes in. 

Thanks!

Hi folks! 

I’m back to give you more details on the character transfers to the Shae Vizla server. For this post, my aim is to confirm additional details and answer some questions we have seen floating around. 

Starting with the transfer requirements to Shae Vizla: 

• Characters will be required to have 2 million or less credits.
• If you try to transfer a character that has more than that amount, you will see an error message. 
• The character level minimum is 20. 

For the first 30 days after transfers open, there will be 16 free transfers available to Subscribers who meet the following criteria: 

• Are a current Subscriber
• Have been a Subscriber since APAC launch (November 17, 2023) for at least 90 consecutive days. 

For the first 90 days after transfers open, all Subscribers will receive a 50% discount (500 CC off) on transfers to the...

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday  Pleased to confirm that we will be hosting the Game Update 7.4.1 livestream on February 14th at 1pm CT / 7pm UTC over on our streaming channel. We'll be going over all the features in 7.4.1 and also hinting as to what's to come after 7.4.1 launch! Mark your calendars! 

See you soon!

Hi everyone,

Giving you all a heads up that we’re doing some back-end maintenance this morning around 9:30am CT / 3:30pm UTC. We will not be taking down servers for this. However, it is possible that some players may experience issues logging for a 30 minute period once we start maintenance. This should have no impact on players who are currently logged in and playing unless they log out and try to log back in with another character. I'll update this thread when everything is complete!

Thanks!
