Hey folks!

Really happy to see the reception to the inspired by The Acolyte items that have dropped with 7.5. Reminder that the series premieres on June 4th! 

As you all saw, there are some customizations, a new Vibroblade, and armor set that are available in the Cartel Market. Included in the armor set are two variations of the hood, one without character hair showing and one with character hair showing. I am sure some of you could be wondering, why offer both options (some of you might already know the answer, let’s talk about why and set some context.

As some of you likely know, typically when we release an armor set with a hood up, we hide your character’s hair. Without getting into a bunch of technical details, quite simply our hair is an “all or nothing” situation.

Hey all!

We did receive reports about this and the team did some digging. There was an issue for some players being unable to redeem the code (even if they didn't have the deco). Issue has now been fixed. So if you haven't been able to get the deco yet, make sure you redeem that code before May 16th!

Hey everyone, 

We received reports that some players have been unable to redeem code "MalgusWhen" for the Darth Malgus poster deco. This should be fixed now, so we encourage any player who was unable to redeem the deco to try again and make sure to use the code by May 16th! 

*As a reminder, this is only redeemable if you do not currently have the deco*

Thanks!

Hey everyone! 

We just kicked out a new PTS build for you all to check out! Below are items that we are tracking based on your feedback. 

Basilisk Prototype Venture - Fixes

  • Updated task descriptions on the Venture screen to make objectives clearer.
  • The Iokath bonus mission for B3-S1 training now refers to completing the World Boss instead of a Heroic Mission.
  • Corrected some instances where B3-S1 appeared in Lane's Lab while she was active as a companion.
  • Changed requirements for progression steps that required players to use B3-S1's abilities. These steps should now count the use of any of that role's abilities.
  • Added a 'Training Reminder' mission to remind players to use another training module while completing the introduction mission.
  • Missions like Unconventional Methods on Ruhnuk, where you control a droid or other entity, may not work as in...
