Hello everyone!
The Public Test Server is now open! As mentioned in the PTS blog, we’re debuting Dynamic Encounters first with the new lair boss to follow soon. Here’s a rough estimated timeline of the PTS releases:
- October 18th - Dynamic Encounters on Hoth and Tatooine
- Week of October 21st - Lair Boss (Story Mode)
- Week of October 28th - Lair Boss (Veteran Mode)
- Early/Mid November - all other content (except story critpath, of course!)
*Timeline above is subject to change
An important note about the timeline above. Typically, we would open the PTS when we host a dev livestream for these types of updates. Players will be getting a very early look into 7.6 content at this stage. To set expectations, know that the content that will be released at this time is still a work in progress and not polished.
Players will be getting a very early look into 7.6 content at this stage. You will run into unfinished work: placeholder art for interactables and NPCs or UI elements, encounters that are functional but have few "polish" touches like special enemy abilities, and even potentially bugs with encounters that prevent them from being completed. That doesn't mean you shouldn't report issues you see--please do!--but it does mean that you will see many improvements to these encounters as we continue development. We're looking forward to your feedback on the system itself and on individual encounters!
Below are all the details you need to know about how PTS will be working for this iteration.
- Character copy will be available
- Story content will not be available
- Galactic Seasons 7 will not be enabled
- To test Dynamic Encounters, travel to Hoth and Tatooine and make your way to the various Encounters that are shown on your map.
If you are streaming or recording your gameplay while on PTS, we would love to check out the VODs. Seeing players experience the content in real time is incredibly helpful, so feel free to post them here or DM them to me.
If this is your first time playing content on the PTS, read this post to learn how to get started!
