Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hi folks, 

You’re right, It has been a while since we initially mentioned DirectX12 (DX12)! Development has taken place for the better part of the year and it is still ongoing. We've also added several graphics-focused features and made other adjustments in the last year. The metallic, chrome, and pearlescent dyes, new cinematic lightning and shadows are examples of what’s included in this initiative, along with some changes in 7.6 we’re excited to share with you soon.

With that work completed, the team is back to getting the engine to handle DX12 architecture changes to support object and texture types and a new shader management system. Although we do not have a large announcement to make about DX12 right now, we have been discussing putting an alpha implementation into players’ hands sometime before mid next year. We will share more details closer to when we're ready to begin that testing. 

As a reminder, DX12 sets a new technology baseline...

Hi everyone, 

Servers are now back online. Thanks! 

Good morning everyone, 

We will be taking servers offline in about 15 minutes to deploy Game Update 7.5.1b. When servers are available, I will update this thread. 

Thank you

Hi everyone, 

Game Update 7.5.1b patch notes are now available here. 

Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

As the title suggests, we will be extending Galactic Seasons 7 by a few weeks. This will be called out in the 7.5.1b patch notes (going out later today), but we wanted to give some additional details to this change. Originally, GS7 was going to end on January 7th. However, given that this season will be running over the holidays, we understand that many players would be spending time with loved ones, traveling, going on vacation, etc… So we wanted to give players more time to complete objectives. Galactic Seasons 7 will now be ending on February 18th. 

The in-game date countdown will be updated once 7.5.1b is live. As the season will be extended by 6 weeks, the objectives will just loop back around again beginning with week 1 objectives beginning January 7th. We will continue to post articles covering which objectives are coming up per usual. 

Thanks all!    
 

Good morning everyone, 

This morning we saw reports where players were having issues with making purchases. That issue has been resolved. However, we are still investigating another issue where some players have yet to receive their items. When we have more info, I will update this thread. 

Thank you

@JackieKo Can we get a confirmation on this ? Is this intended or accidentally implemented as placeholder ? Much appreciated 🤝

Hey there! The Achievement Title will be fixed in 7.5.1b! The intended title was "The Greatest" for GS7, so once the patch goes out (date TBD), the title will be updated. 

Hey folks!

We have a change coming in 7.5.1b and we wanted to let you know about it ahead of time as it does affect DvL tokens that you may have in your inventory. 

Since 7.5.1 launched, we have seen feedback requesting that the DvL tokens become Legacy bound as opposed to being bound per character. After reviewing player feedback and also investigating what can be done under the hood, we will be moving forward with converting the DvL tokens to Legacy bound. However, there are adjustments that need to be made in order to make this possible. Below are the two changes that will go live in 7.5.1b.

• DvL tokens will be changing from Character-based to Legacy-based.
  • This is to allow folks to spend their tokens at the vendors more easily without having to recall which Character has which tokens and make it easier to spend them with characters that can equip the alignment restricted armors even if they earned them on an oppos...

All #SWTOR servers are once again available!

Servers are now unavailable for Maintenance, ETA 2hrs

Good morning,

We will be taking down servers in approximately 15 minutes to deploy Game Update 7.5.1a.

Hey everyone, 

We will be deploying a fix for the Defender Gilada bug on August 29. Below are the details: 

• Time: 7am CT / 12pm UTC 
• Estimated downtime: 2 hours

When the fix is live, players should see Defender Gilada spawn as intended, thus allowing the Galactic Seasons 7 weekly objective “Ancient Enemies Returned II” to be completed. 

We will be using this thread to post further updates. 

Thanks! 
 

Hello all, 

Adding this to the Known Issues list:

• The Galactic Seasons 7 Objective "Ancient Enemies Returned II" cannot currently be completed due to Defender Gilada not spawning in their intended location on Hoth. Keeper Anais spawns instead.  We are looking into a deploying a fix and will communicate further info when we have it.

Hey Players!

As you may have noticed, with the release of 7.5.1 we made some adjustments to this initial plan based on your feedback and keen eyes. I want to list those changes for you and also give you a heads up of more changes we will be making in an upcoming patch.

Changes released with 7.5.1:

• 3 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache can upgrade to 1 Columi Upgrade Cache, not Rakata Upgrade Cache as accidentally stated.
• Revised mission rewards for Story, Veteran, and Master Operations:
  • Story Operations now grant a choice of 1 Tionese Upgrade Cache or 40 OP-1 Catalysts (reduced from the originally listed 70 OP-1 Catalysts).
  • NEW: Veteran Operations grant a choice of 1 Columi Upgrade Cache or 130 OP-1 Catalysts.
  • NEW: Master Operations grant a choice of 1 Rakata Upgrade Cache or 340 OP-1 Catalysts.
