Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hello everyone, 

Happy to announce that we are preparing to launch Game Update 7.3.1 next week! Details below: 

• Date: September 6, 2023
• Time: 7am CT/12pm UTC
• Expected downtime: 4 hours

We'll have more in-depth details to share about Galactic Seasons 5 tomorrow. We will publish the patch notes here on September 5th. So keep an eye out on the Dev Tracker and socials for when all that info goes live. 

I'll be using this thread to post updates on 7.3.1's launch and info leading up to it. After 7.3.1 is live, I'll open the thread. 

Thanks all! 

The Darth Malgus and Tulak Hord servers are now back online as well. Thanks for your patience! 

The Leviathan server is now back online. 

The Satele Shan and Star Forge servers are now back online. Leviathan is looking to be brought back online in approximately 30 minutes or so. 

Good morning, everyone! 

We are preparing to take down all servers to begin moving the Darth Malgus and Tulak Hord servers to the cloud. Expected downtime is 6 hours. For all other servers, expected downtime will be approximately 1 hour. I'll post updates in this thread when I have them. 

Thanks! 

Hey there,

Ok, so this is an interesting situation, thank you for bringing it up. First, a little history and then what we are talking about on the team to resolve it.

For a long time we never had the PvP Mission terminals inside of Warzones or Arenas. And so there was a pretty logical reason to allow Mission sharing within Warzones and Arenas. However, since that change happened that need has certainly gone down or vanished entirely.

We hadn't heard about players abusing Mission sharing as a form of harassment, so thanks for the report there. In addition to that we are talking about a couple of different changes we can make:

• Stopping Mission sharing in Warzones and Arenas - As mentioned above, since the addition of the terminals we are not sure we need to allow sharing anymore. Especially if it is being abused.
• Tie /ignore to blocking Mission sharing as well.

Let us know your thoughts on both...

Hello again everyone!

First off, I want to thank everyone who participated in our last thread! We still have much to iterate on and your feedback has been invaluable. Furthermore, it’s with great pleasure to report that our economy is healing. I know it's a bit of a bumpy road to get there, but if we keep driving down it we’ll have a much more sustainable economy and a more approachable game.

Players can now log back into the Leviathan server. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone, 

We are aware that players are experiencing issues with logging into the Leviathan server. We will update this thread when we have more info.

You can also keep an eye on this page as well to see the status on every live server. 

Hello everyone, 

We are moving forward with the next step in migrating our live servers over to the cloud! This will follow the same process as the Leviathan server migration that occurred last week.

We will be moving the Darth Malgus and the Tulak Hord servers over on August 30th at 7am CT / 12pm UTC. Just like with the Leviathan server, players should expect a downtime of 6 hours for both Darth Malgus and Tulak Hord. 

All other servers will be taken down for approximately 1 hour and then brought back online. 

Players will be able to log in as normal once Darth Malgus and Tulak Hord are brought back online. 

I will be locking this thread to keep all relevant updates in one place. Once the move is complete, I will unlock this thread so players may submit feedback and reports as needed. 

If you are experiencing any issues, please submit a bug report using the in-game Customer Se...

Star Forge is now back online. Thanks for your patience, everyone! 

Hi everyone, 

We're aware of an issue players are experiencing with logging into Star Forge. The team is investigating. I'll update this thread when I have more info. 

Thank you

Hey Players!

I’m back to quickly touch on changes coming in 7.3.1 regarding Kai Zykken and his Spoils of War set bonus armors. We’ve gone through a few iterations of distributing these armors and various bugs have popped up preventing the system from working as intended. Well no longer! In 7.3.1 players will discover Kai Zykken has disappeared from the Fleet pending investigation by both the Republic and Empire! 

Instead, set bonus armors will be directly purchasable in armor crates from a new vendor in the same location on the Fleet. Each crate will contain all pieces of the set bonus armor, and will cost 10,000 Tech Fragments and 1,000,000 credits. 

Please note the set bonuses obtained by Armormech and Synthweaving schematics will not be purchasable in crates, but the schematics will always be available on the new vendor for the current price of 2,000 Tech Fragments and 1,000,000 credits. The tactical schematics for Armstech, Artifice, Bioch...

So just to be extra clear because english isn't my native language. When you say the Galactic Seasons 5 missions work similar to the companion alert items you mean that they will unlock in collections and still be available to do on other characters/alts even after the Galactic Season 5 ends right?

They will not be in collections, however if you've completed the mission on any character you will be able to re-acquire the mission items on other characters from the Galactic Seasons vendor Jaliet Nall.

Hey Community!

I’m here to follow up on some additional changes you’ll see in Galactic Season 5!

Here’s your tl;dr for the min/maxers:

• New objectives for companions, space missions, and operations
• Changes to Flashpoint and Uprising objectives
• More objectives for Subscribers

New Objectives:
Looking at the content offerings of Galactic Seasons, we have added a few new objectives with the goals of creating more variety in play, and making objectives easier to understand.

• Objectives involving companions have been expanded to require companions in specific roles
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the DPS role
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the Heal role
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the Tank role
• Space Mission obje...

FIRST! 

Hello folks! But wait, there’s more!

1. We’re adding new rewards to take up the slots that would have been companion related
2. Season story will now be driven by Galactic Season Progress

We’ll continue to make changes here and evolve the format over time based on your feedback and data!

New Rewards:

Removing Companion from the season leaves a pretty large hole in the reward structure. To make up for this we’re adding some new reward types, giving more of the seasonal reputation items, and adding a new item from the Cartel Market (which will bind on legacy).

More explicitly, here is a list of new items that would have not been on the track prior to this change:

• More Seaso...

As you may have seen in our "Game Update 7.3.1 is Coming Soon" Article, there are a few changes coming to Galactic Seasons starting this next season. With GS5, we are going to try something a little different, there will not be a seasonal Companion. We are doing this for a variety of reasons that we hope will improve the Galactic Season experience (along with creating some separate opportunities as well, more on that later).

For starters, you can still expect a great character driven story within each season, it just won’t need to operate around the limitation of a single companion. That story will unlock based on your Galactic Season Progress.

We obviou...

The Leviathan server is now back up and running! I will be opening this thread in case anyone needs to report any issues. 

Thank you for your patience! 

All servers with the exception of Leviathan are now back online. I'll update this thread with further updates on the server migration when I have them.
