Hello everyone!

Following Chris Schmidt's announcement of new Augments, they are now available for testing on PTS. This will be a new tier of Augments that can be crafted by Cybertechs.

- How do the augments perform?
- How does the inflow of materials from PvE and PvP feel?
- Are Cybertechs happy with the CM-1337 material?
- Do the schematics take too long?

Let us know your thoughts!

Hello everyone!

The Feast of Prosperity event features new Daily Missions, Weekly Missions, and mini-game activities that you'll be able to participate in on PTS. You'll also have access to an introductory Mission, where you�ll meet Gaboorga the Abundant and Duuba the Magnanimous, the founders of the Feast, and learn a little more about them and their ambitions. When the event reaches the live servers, a new Story Mission will unlock every week, but on PTS, you'll just get a peek at the introductory story mission. We encourage you to check out the dailies, weeklies, and mini-games and provide your feedback.

Once you�re fully logged in to the PTS, head on over to the Fleet to pick up the starting Mission for the Feast of Prosperity! Just speak to the Festival Crier near the Cartel Bazaar elevator on the outer ring. The Daily Missions and minigames will only unlock once this introductory Mission is completed. Below you can find the type of feedback that the team is... Read more

Hey all,

Coming in 6.1.4 are a number of anti-toxicity measures that Chris outlined in his post here. Please use this thread to share your feedback on them, especially if you try any of them on PTS!

What is your feedback on backfilling in Solo Ranked now prioritizing the same role as the one that left along with increasing the penalties for leaving?
What is your feedback on the removal of vote kick from Ranked PvP?
What is your feedback on Ranked PvP now requiring iLvl 306 in order to queue?
What is your feedback on the addition of Legacy ignore?

Hop on the PTS and share your thoughts with us!

Hi,

Below the list of the known issues you may experience while testing the Feast of Prosperity event on PTS.

The conversations with Duuba and Gaboorga for the introductory mission will play, but will not look as intended.
The daily "Cooking: Jellied Glowshroom Stew" Mission may become blocked. If it does, use the kitchen door to exit and reset the mission.
Interacting with the door to enter the "Cantina Rush" (Normal) Mission may not move players inside the phase as intended. If it does, abandon the mission and pick it up again from the terminal.
"Cantina Rush" (Normal and Hard) Mission may not complete correctly when players have served enough tables. Use the door to exit the phase.
In cooking Missions, ingredients may sometimes despawn or respawn suddenly. This won't affect gameplay.
The following Achievements are showing up for level bracket 10-49 when it shouldn't be:
- Mek-Sha: Defeat Enemies
- Dantooine...

Hi friends,

With Game Update 6.1.4 we are introducing a new tier of augments to the game, with materials added to our prestige game modes.

For a little background, we try to strike a balance between the right time to introduce new power to chase into the game and respecting your time invested in getting to the current maximum level of gear. We also want to refresh interest in our prestige modes by adding a very clear incentive while we work on the next batch of new content.

We have a few goals here. First, in PvE, it has been several months since Dxun Master Mode released. Top-end guilds have cleared the content and achieved the timed run achievements. Guilds still progressing in Dxun could use a slight boost to help get over the hill of that next boss, and a slight power bump should help. We don�t want progression to stagnate, and we would also like to make it worth people�s time to farm older Master Modes in order to gear up the next batch of recruits... Read more

Hi friends,

As I mentioned in my previous post, I want to chat a bit about toxicity and what actions we�re taking to reduce friction points in the game that can lead to toxic behavior.

In general, our philosophy in regards to toxicity and harassment is there is no room for it in our service. But it�s not quite as simple as �find the toxic people and remove them�, because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Often times folks are just having a bad day, and some friction point in the game rules or mechanics can exacerbate this and lead to a negative or harmful social experience.

So we have to take a bit of a holistic approach to toxicity, and remain committed to improving the game and the service over time across several avenues.
