Star Wars: The Old Republic Dev Tracker

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.

Confirming this is a bug. We have a fix on the way, but it won't be deployed until after the event has ended and will unfortunately not retroactively grant the achievement. We do understand that players are working toward completing 100% of this event, however, there are a few Achievements for the Spring Abundance Festival that can't be completed during the first year. So we hope you'll join us for the next Festival to check this Achievement and the rest off your list.

Hi everyone, 

The Galactic Seasons 6 objectives have been updated for June 18 - July 30. Please note that these are the final weeks for GS6! 

Thanks!

Hi all, 

The online purchasing issues have been resolved. Thanks for your patience! 

Hi everyone, 

EA is currently experiencing issues with its online services and the appropriate teams are investigating. This means that players will have issues with making online purchases including Cartel Coins and Subscriptions. When we have more info, I will update this thread. 

Thanks! 

Good morning!

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

Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

7.5a patch notes are now available. Full list can be found here. See you tomorrow morning! 

Hey everyone, 

We're going to be taking down servers next week to deploy Game Update 7.5a. 

• Time: 7am CT / 12pm UTC
• Estimated downtime: 3 hours

As always, patch notes will be found here on Monday. 

Hey Everyone!

We have two more incoming fixes for the following main story path issues:

• Players unable to proceed with the Inquisitor Class mission "Vengeance" will no longer be blocked by Andronikos refusing to talk.
• Players unable to complete the Imperial World Quest on Hoth, "Spoils to the Victor" can now open the cache and continue with the mission.

We do not need to take servers down to deploy these fixes but some players may find themselves kicked to the main menu about an hour after this fix is deployed as your game accepts the changes. Thank you for your patience. We will keep this thread updated as needed. 

Hey everyone, 

Heads up that we will be deploying a fix for the following main story path issues: 

• Players are unable to complete KotFE: Chapter IX due to Sana Rae not spawning in the Alliance Base on Odessen. 
• Players are unable to complete KotFE: Chapter XI due to an issue with the final cutscene getting stuck. 
• Objectives for the “General Faraire” and “The Gormak King” missions will not progress if the Silver Elite enemy is defeated before other common enemies.
  • WORKAROUND: Leave the phase and reset the missions. To make progress, defeat common enemies before defeating the Silver Elite enemy. 

We will not need to take down servers to deploy these fixes, however, players may be kicked out to the main menu at the time the fixes are deployed. In the event that happens, simply log back into the game as normal. 

We are estimating that the fixes will go ou...

Hello everyone!

Hello there!

Just popping in with an update related to future story content in SWTOR, as well as some exciting news!

Star Wars™ : The Old Republic has a remarkable legacy of narrative content, and we couldn't do it without the army of talented designers and performers that bring the narrative to life, from concept to script to screen. Our regular cast of voice actors, many that started recording in 2008, have been an integral part of SWTOR's storytelling, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I'm happy to announce that beginning in update 7.5, Wilf Scolding will be stepping into the role of the male Imperial Agent. Wilf is excited to be part of SWTOR's story, and we're very happy to have him join our incredible roster of player voices. We're looking forward to his role in The Old Republic's legacy for many years to come!

See you soon in Update 7.5! May the Force be with you.

Hey folks!

Really happy to see the reception to the inspired by The Acolyte items that have dropped with 7.5. Reminder that the series premieres on June 4th! 

As you all saw, there are some customizations, a new Vibroblade, and armor set that are available in the Cartel Market. Included in the armor set are two variations of the hood, one without character hair showing and one with character hair showing. I am sure some of you could be wondering, why offer both options (some of you might already know the answer, let’s talk about why and set some context.

As some of you likely know, typically when we release an armor set with a hood up, we hide your character’s hair. Without getting into a bunch of technical details, quite simply our hair is an “all or nothing” situation. What that means is if your hair is short (or long) and protrudes out, or is long and crosses an area where the hood curves, it will clip out of the hood and there isn’t much w...
