Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hey folks,

Yup, apologies for any confusion for our Steam users. Currently, you will not be able to access 6.2.1 on PTS. We removed PTS functionality as part of our update to direct patching on Steam. We are working to get PTS available for you as soon as possible but in this case 6.2.1 was ready faster than our Steam functionality was. We didn't want to hold up testing while we continue to work on it.

To set some expectations, it is possible that 6.2.1's PTS cycle will complete before PTS is available for Steam. You can still access PTS though if you have access to the game outside of Steam. We know this isn't ideal but as soon as we have any updates about timing we will let you know.

Thanks for understanding. We will make sure this information is updated in our PTS communications.

Hello everyone!

PTS is now live! Players can experience the changes to Amplifiers and Uprisings.

Amplifiers
The team reorganized the Amplifiers user interface (UI) for a better browsing experience. Previously, Amplifiers were organized in alphabetical order. Now, they are organized with a tree-based view:
Players can expand a specific Amplifier type to see all the Amplifiers available in that category or collapse the category to hide them. This change also reduces the default list.

A new tier of Rarity has been added to improve the visibility and readability of Amplifiers. In addition to the existing tiers: the Premium (Green), Prototype (Blue), Artifact (Purple), and Legendary (Gold) tiers, there is now a rarity for the lowest tier: Standard (White). No Amplifier values and no odds to obtain specific Amplifiers have been changed.

We�re also introducing Rarity Locking as a way for players to exchange credits for greater ch... Read more

Hey everyone,

Below the list of the known issues, you may experience while testing the changes to Amplifiers and Uprisings.

• Some text is not being displayed properly for Rarity Locking, but the locking feature and price are working correctly.

Hey everyone,

You can now test the changes made on Uprisings on PTS! All Uprisings are now available at level 75 with a rebalance of the difficulty and time they take to complete. Along with those changes, loot drops have been increased in all Uprisings. You will find more information about those changes here: Welcome to the 6.2.1 PTS!

Below you can find the type of feedback that the team is looking for:

• Do you feel if the Uprisings are content worth doing?
• Do you think that any of them seem more difficult/annoying than others enough that you would avoid them?

Let us know your thoughts below.

Hey everyone,

You can now test the changes made on Amplifiers on PTS! Those changes include a reorganization of the Amplifiers user interface (UI), the introduction of a new tier of Rarity (White tier), and Rarity Locking coupled with the Weekly Cost Reset. You will find more information about those changes here: Welcome to the 6.2.1 PTS!

Below you can find the type of feedback that the team is looking for:

• Can you easily find your Amplifiers?
• Can you navigate the Amplifiers list?
• Did you have any trouble determining how to reroll an Amplifier or lock the rarity?

Let us know your thoughts below.

Hi RameiArashi,

Can you please provide info for the following questions?

• Did you consume the item to yourself once you got to the area, or before going to the area?
  
  Which companions are you using and not seeing double increments?.
  
  Where were you when it appeared it stopped working?
  
  Which enemies are you fighting?
  
  Is it possible you are looking at Conquest Objectives and not Achievements?

Important to note that this does not increment Conquest Objective counts - so going into CZ-198, for example, will still require 25 unique kills for the CZ-198 Defeat Enemies Conquest Objective.

I am unable to give out a timeline of when devs respond to threads as I don't want to make promises such as 'someone will reply on a daily/weekly basis'. However, I can say that I am helping the team keep an eye on feedback that is being posted. One of my highest priorities is to remain active in the forums (outside of posting) to understand community sentiment across the board.

Wanted to chime in and say the team is paying attention to and monitoring feedback.

To everyone in this thread, I also wanted to give a heads up that I will be moving this thread to the PvP sub-forum.

Hello everyone,

In an effort to keep information in one spot, we are working to consolidate the stickied threads, update the info obtained from them, and will update this post as necessary. Treat this as a living document. Please read this post thoroughly as it contains a lot of information.

General guidelines about reporting bugs

• Please search threads to see if someone else has already created a bug report and add to that instead of creating a new thread. This not only helps keep info in one spot, but it is also easier to update one thread with a resolution/answer rather than tracking down multiple. Duplicate threads can be deleted, merged, or locked.
• Create one thread for each unique bug. This assists with tracking and keeping conversation and additional reporting to one issue at a time.
• This sub-forum is used specifically for game bugs. If you need support for the following, please follow the respective steps:

Hi everyone! I'm Phred and I hope the new year is already treating you great! Nine years--what a ride! In nine years, never have I felt more like Luke than I did these last 11 months�perpetually stuck on the farm cleaning up new droids while ALL I wanted to do was go to Tosche Station. That�s pretty much all of us right now, amirite??!!

In all seriousness, despite how surreal our situation has been over the last few months, I�ve watched our team meet unexpected challenges, excitement undiminished, and fly at them full Steam ahead (see what I did there? Do we still say �see what I did there?�)

Navigating working from home has been a whole new bowl of paddy frogs for our team, especially when we�re such a close-knit family that thrives on social creativity, but our love of the game, the drive to create, and our excitement for what lies ahead has fueled us.

I�ve worn a lot of hats at BioWare Austin since 2011. I started in QA, moved into Tools ... Read more
