Hello, if Hylo Visz is missing, it could be due to an active chapter or story mission taking place in the phase and requiring her attention. You will need to complete that before Hylo returns to her spot.

Jumping in here to say that we appreciate the love for all of our companion characters. It's both a gift and a challenge to have so many well-loved companions in SWTOR, and I understand how special that connection can be to your personal story.

Our goal with each story update is to bring in characters that feel appropriate to the setting. And whenever a favorite character returns, we want to make sure we have bandwidth to give them a personal moment for growth and relationship development. Above all else I never want to include a character that feels shoe-horned in, or whose interactions feel shallow because we didn't have capacity to give them more. It's very important to us to make these companion interactions memorable.

It's true Vette in particular hasn't been present in the story for a while, but that doesn't mean she won't be part of our future plans. Just know that when she is part of the story, it will be a moment that we're deeply passionate abo...

@JackieKo Is this offer limited time only? Or a permanent bundle? And if temporary, how long will this offer be available. I usually buy these offers, but atm am not financially able to do so, so would like to know how long I will have to purchase. Thanks.

Hi there, 

There is no expiration on the bundle, so you definitely have time.

Hey there,

Ok so first, I super appreciate the enthusiasm in the thread. We always love to hear where folks' heads are at for suggestions or ideas on places to improve the game.

Now, with that said, as much as I wish your suggestions were “quite inexpensive” or required “a little more time” that is unfortunately not true. I am hoping though that I can shed some light on exactly why that is the case since very often in software (game) development very few things are fast or inexpensive.

Let me give you an example in each of your categories to be a bit more illustrative.

Quite inexpensive:

  • Update old textures - armours, weapons and planets.

 

Perfect, we've actually done this in numerous releases since 7.0 and it's going to continue in a numbe...

Hi!

I've sent these findings over to a couple of teams, so they'll look into what's happening. 

Thanks for flagging! 


Galactic Season 5 will begin with the launch of Game Update 7.3.1. Once the update goes live, players will be able to make progress through the Free Reward track or the Subscriber Reward track (both tracks are available to Subscribers!) and earn new rewards. Below are the details of what players can expect from this new season!

New storytelling

In previous seasons, players embarked on their storyline missions with a new companion. Season 5 introduces a new way to engage with the story told in Galactic Seasons, with story progression now a part of the Galactic Seasons rewards. Players will unlock new story missions as they progress through the reward track, with the final mission granted at Season Level 40. 

In this season’s story, “Confidence in Power”, players will meet an astromech named 3V-1L, a peculiar droid who serves a mysterious Master. 3V-1L will test the player through a series of trials, to see if they are worthy of ...

Now that SF and SS are moving to the cloud in a couple of days, do y'all have a timing on a new APAC server? Been a while since I've seen any communication on this.

Hi there,


There isn't an update to share at this time outside what we have said in the past, however, I can provide a little more insight into what's happening behind the scenes right now. As you all know already, we're currently focusing on migrating the live servers over to the cloud. After today, we will have successfully accomplished this task. Our next steps are migrating more services and tools over in similar fashion. Being able to migrate everything over is vital to the health of the game which translates to better a player experience. All that to say that we need to do all of this before we can look at opening up servers in new regions. So for right now, we do not have additi...

Thanks!

Time would be better spent fixing all the issues in the game instead of a screenshot contest.

Clearing up a misconception here! This is a community run event, and it is one that is now entering its third year. The frames were done and built in the first year so the only lifting done on the team each following year is adding the winning shots to the event vendor. Essentially, that makes it so there's little impact on the design team and the heavier lifting is on the community team. So this is a fun project that community owns and the way the contest was built allows for others team to focus on things such as creating new content, polishing current content, and/or reviewing and fix bugs. Hope that helps!

Wanted to chime in here and say that in regards to 7.4 proper, we're preparing for the update livestream and will be making a formal date announcement in the coming weeks. We'll be covering a lot of info, for sure. I'll be making a separate thread for the date announce, and will post updates there per usual. So stay tuned!

Hello everyone!

We are moving into the final stage of migrating the last two servers over to the cloud! Details below.

Date: September 20th
Time: 7am CT / 12pm UTC
Expected downtime: 6 hours

For this rollout, players should expect for all servers to remain offline for the duration of the maintenance window. This is to account for additional testing on every server to ensure that all servers behave and perform cohesively and there are no interruptions to the player experience. 

As always, we will be posting in relevant threads with updates on when the servers will be taken down and when they are brought back up. 

Thanks!
