Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Greetings from up North!

My name�s Jay, and I�ve been with BioWare since the days of Neverwinter Nights. The last 12+ years have been spent on the writing side of game development, getting my start on the tail end of Mass Effect 2. About a year and half ago, I jumped at the chance to work with the talented SWTOR team down in Austin and haven�t looked back.

For a kid that grew up playing with Star Wars action figures, it�s been a tremendous privilege of adding a few of my own stories to the vast Star Wars universe. Two of my favorite new characters - Jekiah and Rass Ordo - were introduced in the flashpoint, Spirit of Vengeance.

But trouble never left an Ordo alone for very long. Left to oversee the Mandalorians after Shae Vizla begins her hunt for the treacherous Field Marshal Heta Kol, Jekiah faces his first crisis when a conflict between two clans turns bloody in the short story ... Read more

Hi all,

We�re going through all the feedback that�s being posted here. Thank you to everyone who has been providing constructive feedback and answering the questions listed in the feedback thread. There is a lot to read through, but we wanted to acknowledge that we are reading your posts.

One note that we are seeing is concerns of our overall lack of addressing questions in real time that have popped up. We know that this can be frustrating but at this stage of the feedback process, but we need your raw constructive criticism without us potentially changing or tainting it. This is especially important in the first few days of PTS and what we will be following for future phases of PTS. We also know that there is an ask for us to acknowledge every single thread that was created, but please understand that is not feasible in terms of keeping info consolidated and in one place with how the dev tracker functions. Know that we are reading each thread as they are updat... Read more

Hi renyaatori,

Thanks for reporting this bug with Koth's Crew in the Gravestone. This bug is a known issue. Our team is still looking into it.

As this thread is a duplicate of the following one: Gravestone is filled with npcs before visiting Asylum, I am closing yours to avoid several threads about the same topic.

Hello Nether_Pantera,

Please read this thread on how to access this phase of PTS. Additionally, PTS is only available for the NA servers.

Hello everyone, PTS is now live. Please read all the stickied threads for all of the info surrounding this phase of PTS.

Thank you!

We will be posting a full breakdown of what to expect once PTS goes live. I know that doesn't outright answer your question, but I just want to keep conversations consolidated and as organized as possible.

As of now, expect four different threads to be posted when PTS goes up.

1) Detailed breakdown of what this phase of PTS will cover
2) How to access PTS
3) Feedback thread
4) Status updates thread (this was mentioned in the livestream)

Hi Wilgard,

Thanks for the report regarding the missing dye slot in the Intelligence Officer Belt.

I've transferred the information to our team for additional verification.

Ready to dive into PTS? Here are the steps you need to follow in order to try out the Jedi Guardian.

• Create a NEW Jedi Guardian. You will spawn in during the first scene of the Jedi Knight. You can safely escape out of this cutscene.
• All PTS characters have been deleted in order to ensure 7.0 compatibility, so character transfer is off for this phase. Character copy (from live servers) will not be available until later phases of testing.
• Your new Jedi Guardian will begin on Tython. Head towards the first taxi area and you�ll see a �PTS Droid� waiting to teleport you to the Republic Fleet. Do not take the taxi. Look to the right and you will see a droid named PTS Fleet Teleport (-547, -1254 coordinates)
• This will take you to Tython and Ord Mantell Departures Area. Leave this area into the main level of the fleet.
• Hook a right into the Combat Training area of the fleet into the northern most room where the Jedi Knight trainer is.
• ...

With PTS now live, you can help test the Combat Style for the Jedi Guardian.

Please answer the following questions:

• Does this feel like a Jedi Guardian? Please explain why or why not.
• Is there anything that feels missing or out of place in the combat rotation?
• What are your initial thoughts with the effectiveness of the Jedi Guardian against enemies?
• How are you enjoying or not enjoying this class?
• If you have feedback on the different disciplines and ability paths, please note your feedback accordingly so we can track it.

Feel free to answer in as much detail as possible to help us understand your thought process and line of thinking. Please include the specific Discipline and ability path you chose.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to our first phase of PTS featuring the Jedi Guardian Combat Style. In case you missed it, we go through a bit of the philosophy behind the updates we’re making to Combat Styles in this article.

There are two main goals we are aiming to achieve: Streamlining ability sets in order to enable more player choice and maintaining the unique identity of the class. We know players will be thinking about the reduced quantity of abilities and what that looks like, so here is an in-depth look into how the Jedi Guardian Combat Style is impacted by player choices.

Hello everyone,

This post will serve as one stop check-in that will provide a snapshot status report of all components that are being tested in PTS for the remainder of the year. There are four levels that will indicate where each phase is as far as availability and testability. Expect this post to be updated on an ongoing basis to reflect changes and updates regarding PTS as time passes.

For this initial phase of PTS, players will be able to try out the Jedi Guardian Combat Style. This is a first look, so expect a high level overview for now. The deep dives will come in future PTS phases.
