Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

Hi everyone, 

Game Update 7.5b contained a few more items inspired by The Acolyte. The new Devoted Disciple player customization, armor, lightsaber, and dualsaber are now available. As with the Dark Harbinger hood, there is one full hood option and another to show hair underneath. Please keep Eric's post in mind about how hair under the hood is displayed. 

Thanks!

Hello again, 

Servers are now back online. 

Thanks!

Good morning, everyone. 

We will be taking down servers to deploy Game Update 7.5b in approximately 15 minutes. 

Hello,
Players are now able to log back into the Star Forge server. While the current issue has been resolved, we are still investigating its root cause. It is possible that the server will continue to keep players from connecting to the game. We appreciate your continued patience while we work on a permanent resolution.

We are aware of ongoing issues which are stopping players from accessing Star Forge and are currently investigating. All other servers are avaliable. When we have more info, we will update this thread.

Hello everyone, 

Patch notes are now live. We'll see you early tomorrow morning for 7.5b launch. 

Thanks! 

Star Forge is now avaliable, thank you for your patience. 

We are aware that players are unable to access Star Forge and are currently investigating. All other servers are avaliable. When we have more info, we will update this thread

@JackieKo Can you please let us know if the bug is at least acknowledged by the devs? Fixing in the patch just announced would be ideal, but if not, we'd like to know where we're standing with the case. Meaning, if players can hope for progressing the story anytime soon. Thank you in advance.

Hey there, 

Confirming that this will be fixed with 7.5b. Full patch notes will be released tomorrow! 

Hey all!

Wanted to update this thread and follow up on a previous post. Game Update 7.5b will contain a change to help mitigate the RNG factor for the Training Modules. With this upcoming patch, players will be able to purchase Daily Area specific Training Modules from HK-24. There are more fixes for the system as a whole on the way, but I wanted to highlight this change specifically.

As this is a new system, we appreciate the feedback coming in on the overall player experience. We want to balance out what the progression feels like for a long term goal so we will be keeping an eye out for feedback as players continue on their way to fully unlocking B3-S1.

Hi everyone, 

We will be taking servers down to deploy Game Update 7.5b on Thursday, June 27. 

Time: 7am CT / 12pm UTC

Expected downtime: 4 hours. 

Patch notes will be available tomorrow on this page. 

Hi there,

To reiterate what Keith said, the team working on SWTOR at Broadsword is largely the same team that was at BioWare. Same folks, different banner. This includes the narrative team, who have been authors in this story arc since the beginning. The "Legacy of the Sith" narrative has a high-level roadmap that has not changed. But as we put each chapter into active development, we must be agile enough to accommodate big changes (like our move to Broadsword).

As our team size has changed, so has our development. We pivot, we scope, and we strategize to bring players the highest quality content that our current team can produce. To that end, starting in Game Update 7.3, we adjusted our delivery of narrative content, particularly cinematics, in the main story. As we've established a rhythm over the last few updates, I want to give context as to why we vary our cinematic scene style in crit path story content, and where you can expect it.

Hi folks, 

I wanted to hop in here and clear up some of the misconceptions that we’ve seen in the forums and in other spaces players frequent. Some of this is based on folks misinterpreting what I've communicated in the past along with a limited knowledge on how our game development process works. 

Since we began The Legacy of the Sith, we had planned for a number of updates to tell the entire story while also bringing in a variety of gameplay, events, adjustments, and even new features, like the recent Venture System.  So, it is fair to say that before we transitioned to Broadsword, a large part of our design direction was made while the team was at BioWare/EA.  

But, everything we are doing now and have been doing for some time is completely new and developed here at Broadsword. There seems to be some perception that what is currently being developed is somehow different from what we've done in the past.

When we work on an expansi...

Hi everyone, 

The Satele Shan server is now back online. Thank you for your patience! 

Hi all, 

We will be taking down the Satele Shan server in approximately 15 minutes. Once the server is back up, I will update this thread again.

Estimated downtime is 1 hour. 

Thanks!

Hey all! 

We've been keeping an eye on the feedback coming in from this thread. and wanted to say we will be making some adjustments to help with this friction point. Will come back with more details when I have them. Appreciate the feedback!  

Hey everyone, 

We are aware of an issue players are experiencing with extended loading times on the Satele Shan server. We're looking into it! When we have more info, I will update this thread.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Popping in here to say that this thread has some valuable feedback on the time and effort players are putting into getting the event's Achievements. It was intended for some Achievements to roll over into next year's event and be obtainable then but you all knocked these out of the park. So the team will definitely be taking in this player experience feedback.

Also want to reiterate that this is indeed a bug and a fix is coming. But as stated above, the fix won't be coming before the event ends. So the Gentle Heart Achievement can only be obtained when the event rolls around again. I know this isn't what you all want to hear but we wanted to be transparent about the patch's timing, setting expectations, and offer some insight into how we wanted Achievements to work for this event.
