HIGHLIGHTS
Galactic Seasons 5 “Confidence in Power” - 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 the Master’s teachings of the “dark side”. Whether this is a prank or a serious threat, the player must decide how deeply they will commit to these “dark” trials to uncover the truth. More information in this article.

The Darth Malgus server is now back online! Thanks and have a good weekend, everyone!
We are getting ready to bring down the Darth Malgus server in about 15 minutes. Expected downtime is still 1.5 hours. I'll post an update here should that timeline change or when the server is brought back online.
Hi again,
We will be taking the Darth Malgus server down at 5:30pm CT / 10:30pm UTC for an estimated downtime of 1.5 hours. This is to account for impacting as few players as possible as it is the weekend. We are still investigating what has been causing the longer load times on the Darth Malgus server. During this deployment, we be will adding increased monitoring to help us identity the root causes and narrow down what's happening with the server.
Until this issue is completely resolved, it is possible that players on the Darth Malgus server will continue to experience longer load times. We appreciate your continued patience while we work on a resolution.
Hi everyone,
Team is aware that players are experiencing issues with load times on the Darth Malgus server. I'll post updates when I have more info.
Thanks!

I noticed that 7.3.1 is scheduled for a Wednesday, this is the first time in a while a content patch is not released on Tuesday around weekly reset.
- What does this mean for GS5? Will we only have 6 days for week one?
- Does weekly reset stay on Tuesday?
- Is this a outlier and in the future it'll be back to Tuesday as patch days or will it be Wednesday or any other days from now on?Cheers,
Sinrai
Hi there,
Due to the patch being deployed on Wednesday, players will have indeed have 6 days for week one. The weekly reset will remain on Tuesdays per usual.
A content patch being released on Wednesday is not the norm though it did occur once before with a patch that contained an update for Galactic Seasons. This time around is due to Monday being a US holiday (Labor Day)...

Next week, we will be setting up our game servers to be moved over to the cloud. This is an initiative we have been testing for months beginning with moving the Public Test Server over to the cloud last year, and testing a new server on AWS in April of this year. We are thrilled to announce the next steps in this journey with our players.
We have been making strides in our efforts to modernize and update the game. Some of the benefits of this particular migration are:
Backend updates that are crucial to the continued health and stability of the game can be streamlined more efficiently
The resources required to maintain our current systems can be reallocated to focusing on enhancing the game experience
We will be able to leverage and integrate updated tech such as newer hardwar...
This just in!
Ahsoka inspired armor and lightsabers are coming to 7.3.1!
