Hey folks,
If you haven’t done so, definitely read my previous post as it will highlight a bit of the history of modernization from livestream announce, through PTS, and now to launch. Especially for the specific changes we have made as I am going to reference that a bit in this post.
Before I get into that though, here is a TLDR - 7.6 was a huge step forward for us and the culmination of an art and tech effort to moder...
Read more5 hours ago, Raylornt said:Just curious what we can expect, I didnt even realize until I read a Vulkk post today because I had just assumed it would account for the latest mac OS but in the description
- M-Series Chipset Mac: M1, M2, etc…
- Latest MacOS Sonoma, 14.* - Any other MacOS version will not work during this test.
A lot of us I would assume or at least I have have updated to the latest OS which is Sequoia 15 so does that fall under "latest mac os" which would participate with the beta or no because its not on the older Sonoma, also for reference I have a m3 mac.
Anyways thank you for the clarification and hoping for more news soon 🫶
Hey there,
I checked with the team, and they said that Sequoia 15 falls under latest Mac OS t...
Read moreHey folks!
I can confirm you will definitely still get your MK-85 as intended, it will happen in our next patch (should happen within a week or so).
One nuance to be aware of, you will not receive the MK-85 (or the Lair Boss titles, if you have yet to receive those) via in-game mail like the other rewards. Those rewards are distributed differently which is why they weren't in today's patch. They are actually attached to in-game Achievements that you will need to go to, and then claim the reward from.
Apologies for both the confusion and the delay on those rewards being granted. We know them coming at different times and through different streams can be a little confusing, we don't love it either and would definitely like to clean this up in the future.
Thanks all.

Thanks!
Highlights
Dynamic Encounters
Dynamic Encounters is new open world content that offers a variety of missions for players to experience. They are meant to breathe life into the planets they inhabit, giving players a sense that something is always happening at any given time. As players explore planets, they will naturally come across Dynamic Encounters or they can find active Encounters on their map. Missions can range from taking out Hidden Chain forces to herding escaped Banthas running amok in a space port. These Encounters will debut on Hoth and Tatooine with 7.6.
Hidden Chain Invasions are special Dynamic Encounters where players are tasked with stopping Heta Kol’s forces as they continue to wreak havoc in the galaxy. These Encounters can take place on Hoth and Tattooine, but can also be found on several other planets.
As players complete Dynamic Encounters, they can receive special re...

As we head towards 7.6 launch I wanted to post one more time as a wrap up on the status of character modernization (feel free to check the last thread I posted in as well).
Before I jump in, just a reminder on our overall goal for character modernization. We want to ensure that your character still looks and feels like your character. That doesn’t mean it won’t be a little different, that is inevitable and the nat...
Read moreHey everyone,
7.6 patch notes are now live. You can read them here.
A few call outs:
SWTOR’s first ever companion and mini pet mount will be coming in Game Update 7.6! As a thank you to our most active players, The Meirm Cicada Mount will be free to players who are Subscribers between November 29, 2024 and January 4, 2025.
The Meirm Cicada mount has both companion AND mini pet functionality, so players are able to enjoy their galactic road trips with a full squad. However, due to size limitations of the passenger seat, keep in mind that some companions like B3-S1 won’t fit.
If you’re looking for options to Subscribe, check out the various plans here. We have:
Hi all,
I know you've all been eager to read a follow up from PTS regarding the character modernization. That's still being worked on as we need additional info from various teams. We will be making the follow up post on Monday, however, what I can say now is that there were additional adjustments made between the last iteration of PTS and what will be seen live, so what was seen on PTS is not set in stone. But we will follow up with more details on Monday!
Hey all,
Wanted to pop in here real quick to add some context to this! we regularly audit and adjust CC prices across all CM items. If it is something that is categorical or limited time, like a sale, that is communicated. But outside of those situations it can be pretty frequent with both price increases and decreases and would be rather difficult to communicate in a way that is effective or digestible.
For the Appearance Designer pricing specifically, I double checked and this is not a recent change. It was part of a pricing adjustment that happened 8 months ago, in April. It has no correlation at all to the character modernization happening in 7.6.
To my first point though, when there are category and limited time pricing adjustments like sales to communicate, we will. As I stated in my ...
