Asked before but didn't get an answer; what about weapon sounds? Will they be modifiable via the outfitter as a further form of customisation? Or is that going to be a direct feature in the future?

Oh, I hear you!  It isn't currently on our roadmap but it is something we would love to do at some point (but again, it is not in our current plans.)  

Hi everyone,

The Character Transfer service will be unavailable on October 11th from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM UTC. During this time, character transfers will not be processed as that page will be in maintenance mode. Should this timeline change, we will update this thread.

Thank you!

Been searching for any information on the VIP Collectors Edition that is coming up. Wondering if it's like a 3rd edition. 1st was the big box set that had the Malgus statue, then there's the one from the website. Is this going to be another, etc????

 

Or is there information coming up sooner???

TLDR - What is coming in 7.1.1 is an item on the Cartel Market that grants access to the CE vendor on the fleet (from the original Collector's Edition) and a wristband to access the VIP section of the fleet.

Hey there,

What about titles, legacy titles and flairs? Will they be able to be saved to a specific outfit as well?

Not in the near future; however, interesting idea and we'll consider this in future discussions around Outfitter. That isn't a guarantee that it will happen, but this is good feedback and it's appreciated.

Any chance of second set of weapons activated per Combat Style being added to Outfitter? "Appearance/Gear mismatch" message is incredibly annoying.

We are looking at some ways of addressing this issue. While on the surface it seems like a simple task to complete, this does have impact on other parts of the game like inventory.  In short, we're aware of this and having discussions about it.

Will we be able to name the outfits?

Yep.  Sure will. 

Hi everyone, 

Curious to know if anyone has made a custom Stream yet. In my initial New Forums Are Coming post, I talk a little bit about Streams, which is a new feature on the forums. This is a feeds feature that allows you to customize content you see. Toward the top of the forums, you should see My Activity Streams, and from there you can create a custom Stream that will only show specific content which can range from posts you create, to...

In addition to expanding the number of slots to 32, yes, you’ll absolutely be able to copy outfits in Outfitter just like you do with Loadouts. Additionally, you’ll be able to favorite outfits, so they sort to the top of your list and rename the outfit slot to help keep things organized.

So I take it that there's a team dedicated to bugfixing ? Great  Are you hiring by any chances ?

More on topic, does this mean that we should expect to see more improvements to the user experience in general ? QoL features are something that should really be looked at when trying to get a game to last, even when it comes to diverse things like new forums, newer launcher...

And furthermore, is there any chance that we'd get a list of what was exactly improved with the new launcher ? Like a patch note ? I think that having some "substance" to read could help ease a lot of concerns regarding the necessity of this update. ...

Being serious here, Is there a direct reason why we needed a new launcher? 

I've never had a issue with the previous launcher. 

I have tested the "new launcher" but other then a scale up in fonts nothings different. 

 

I'm just curious why man hours were spent on a launcher, when the previous one works just fine for 11 years, rather then use the time to fix game bugs?

As I posted in the OP, the ultimate goal is for players who use the game launcher to have a similar experience to those who use Steam. Essentially, quicker and faster download times for players.

It is also worth noting that there are many moving parts in game development, and there are a variety of teams who have different responsibilities, and we all work synchronously together. This team in particular focuses o...

Hi everyone, 

We have wrapped testing for the new launcher and are ready to go live! The new launcher will be rolling out beginning October 4th. We will be releasing the new launcher in phases throughout the week to also verify all the supporting systems are working properly. We should have it fully released by the end of the week. 

The error rate during testing was less than half a percent; however, the team has worked on implementing fixes throughout testing to ensure that players do not run into the same issues. Please understand with a larger number of players now able to download the new launcher, it is possible some players may get into a bad state. If you are someone who encounters an error, please do the following so we can troubleshoot and assist you:  

• Send an email to [email protected] and in the subject line include "New Game Launcher Issue".

Is there a way to delete topics? I found a way to delete my own posts, but not my own topics. Or are you supposed to contact a moderator to delete something.

Example I need this deleted from testing.

https://forums.swtor.com/topic/925114-test-guild-topic/

I deleted it for you. I think topics are a little different when it comes to deletions, because deleting one impacts everyone else's replies, so you will probably need to ask.

Or if what @Nee-Elder said works then I stand corrected. 😄

Ever since I switched to STEAM I haven't been able to use the usual means. 😪

Sorry, I'm not understanding entirely. There wasn't a direct or easy path for anyone to upload images to the previous forums, so the functionality didn't exist for anyone. Can you clarify what you mean?

Thanks for the replies Jackie. 

Just looking for some clarification In regards to the "This goes back to the points and badge system which aren't enabled just yet. Those are a phase 2 initiative. Everything you do on the forums will grant you a number of points over time. Those in turn will allow you to obtain certain ranks/titles.

HI all,

Also, I am curious to know if you all saw/were aware of the contest based off of the announcement post on the right side of the forums main page. If you saw it, didn't pay attention to it, and/or would prefer threads be created in conjunction with announce...

Will old posts that were imported into the new software eventually be searchable? When you click on the post count under anyone's name, it only shows posts they made since the transition, and posts from before then currently also don't show up in forum search results.

There's still some processing happening in the background, so search is only pulling recent posts. Search should be fully functional once everything is complete. I don't have an exact timeline on when things will be 100% done, but compared to launch yesterday, we're moving along pretty well.

Visually - is there a way to increase the entire forum font size or can that only be done through my personal PC settings?  That's the only other issue I have - the font is too small for me.

We're investigating...
