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.

Heya players!

Thanks for bringing up this issue. We're going to have this fixed in an upcoming patch!

We'll restore eligibility to the following missions for players of the Empire:

• [DAILY] Crossed Wires
• [DAILY] Wasteland Terrors
• [DAILY] Collected History

Hey Community!

As we continue through the Legacy of the Sith expansion, we want to make further adjustments to improve the experience of our gear progression. Patch 7.5.1 will contain adjustments to increase reward choice and give more opportunities for progression.

More Choice in your Rewards
To help players progress towards Artifact gear, we’re going to increase the choice of rewards from missions. Players will be able to choose between the Upgrade Caches or more currency.

• Veteran Flashpoint Weekly missions will reward an Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache or an additional 130 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Master Flashpoint Weekly missions will reward a Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache or an additional 310 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Daily and Heroic Area missions will reward a Noble Decurion Distribution Chest or 25 FP-1 Stabilizers.
• Story Operations Weekly missions will reward a Tionese Upgrade...

Hey Players!

We just talked about it on the 7.5 dev stream, but I wanted to give more detail on some changes you’ll see upcoming in PvP Season 6.

Summary:

• PvP Seasons will be extended to 16 weeks long (from 12)
• The maximum Season Level will be increased to 30 (from 25)
• Maximum catchup level will increase to 20 (from 15)
  • Note: The catchup start date will remain unchanged
• The points per level will increase to 300 (from 280). The total points required to complete the PvP Season will be increased to 9000 (from 7000).
• New rewards will be added to the Season Track
  • A season themed Emote
  • Warzone Adrenals and Medpacs

Reviewing the way PvP Seasons are released and the cadence of seasons throughout a year, we are going to implement a few changes to PvP Seasons, making th...

Hey Community!

I’m back after an excavation mission into our loot to check on some of the drops mentioned, and want to share my findings with you.

First let’s tackle the drops that will be fixed in a future patch!

These drops are currently broken and will be fixed in patch 7.5:

• Copero Resort Rug from Traitor Among the Chiss
  • Obtained from bonus boss Strike Team Walker
• Illumination Probe Crate from Blood Hunt
  • Obtained from the Mandalorian Cache
• Manned Blaster Turret from Collicoid War Games
  • Obtained from Annihilator 6K-A2
• Corellian AA Turret from Objective Meridian
  • Obtained from final bosses

These drops will have their sources corrected in patch 7.5:

• Czerka Banner: Sunrise will correctly say it drops fro...

Heya players!

I wanted to jump in to let you all know that I did some testing on the Geonosian Handler License and can confirm that the license is still dropping from the Mutated Geonosian Queen. I saw mention of the Wings of Nihrot, the Geonosian Handler License has the same chance to drop as the Wings of Nihrot.

Thank you for calling out other potential drops that might be bugged (Illumination Probe Crate decoration from Blood Hunt and the Manned Blaster Turret decoration from Collicoid Games), we will keep an eye on these as well.

Good luck hunting, and Justice For Lysslo!!!

Hey Community!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’ve investigated and the drop rates are in fact lower than intended. We made an internal change to how these drops are distributed and it unintentionally reduced the drop rate of the Galactic Season Reputation items. We will be fixing this in an upcoming patch, and the drop rates will return to what you remember!

Hey Community!

During the 7.4 livestream we said we would be increasing access to Rakata gear but I only mentioned OP-1 Catalysts from Master Mode chapters. I’m back to talk about the second change we’ll be implementing for this initiative.

With 7.4, players will be able to obtain OP-1 Catalysts by exchanging Conquest Commendations and FP-1 Stabilizers. You will be able to make these currency conversions in the Supplies section of the Fleet, at the Conquest Gear Vendor and Flashpoint Gear Vendor.

Here are the conversion rates:

• 400 Conquest Commendations -> 100 FP-1 Stabilizers
• 2000 Conquest Commendations -> 175 OP-1 Catalysts
• 500 FP-1 Stabilizers -> 175 OP-1 Catalysts

I also wanted to thank everyone for the feedback and discussion around the OP-1 Catalysts from Master Chapters. Based on the feedback we will be adjusting the OP-1 Catalyst reward from Master Chapters slightly, t...

Hey Players!

I’m back to quickly touch on changes coming in 7.3.1 regarding Kai Zykken and his Spoils of War set bonus armors. We’ve gone through a few iterations of distributing these armors and various bugs have popped up preventing the system from working as intended. Well no longer! In 7.3.1 players will discover Kai Zykken has disappeared from the Fleet pending investigation by both the Republic and Empire! 

Instead, set bonus armors will be directly purchasable in armor crates from a new vendor in the same location on the Fleet. Each crate will contain all pieces of the set bonus armor, and will cost 10,000 Tech Fragments and 1,000,000 credits. 

Please note the set bonuses obtained by Armormech and Synthweaving schematics will not be purchasable in crates, but the schematics will always be available on the new vendor for the current price of 2,000 Tech Fragments and 1,000,000 credits. The tactical schematics for Armstech, Artifice, Bioch...

Hey Community!

I’m here to follow up on some additional changes you’ll see in Galactic Season 5!

Here’s your tl;dr for the min/maxers:

• New objectives for companions, space missions, and operations
• Changes to Flashpoint and Uprising objectives
• More objectives for Subscribers

New Objectives:
Looking at the content offerings of Galactic Seasons, we have added a few new objectives with the goals of creating more variety in play, and making objectives easier to understand.

• Objectives involving companions have been expanded to require companions in specific roles
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the DPS role
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the Heal role
  • Defeat enemies with a companion set to the Tank role
• Space Mission obje...

Hi all!

Poking back in to respond, thanks so much for the comments and feedback so far. A common question is if we’ll be reducing the Weekly Arena Missions similar to the Arena Objectives. The answer is we will! I’ll update the initial post as well as list the information below.

Reduced the requirements for PvP Arena Weekly Missions:

• [DAILY] My Kind of Scum
  • Now requires 4 Arena Matches (Wins count x3) - down from 6
• [DAILY] Arena of Death!
  • Now requires 4 Arena Matches (Wins count x3) - down from 6
• [WEEKLY] Time for Pain!
  • Now requires 16 Arena Matches (Wins count x3) - down from 24
• [WEEKLY] Go Berserk!
  • Now requires 16 Arena Matches (Wins count x3)  - down from 24

As always, please keep the constructive feedback coming to make PvP Season the best exper...

Hey Community!

I wanted to touch on some changes to Arena objectives coming in PvP Season 3. When we were building out the Seasonal Objectives for Arenas, to keep it simple we made it require double the amount of Warzones given their relative time commitment in theory. However, in practice we know that the time it takes in many cases for Arenas isn’t exactly half a Warzone. In season 3 we’ll be lowering Arena objective requirements to be closer in alignment with our goals and feel a bit more in line with Warzone Objectives in their time to complete.
The updated objective requirements will be:

• Arenas: Decorated
  • Earn at least 7 medals in 6 Arena matches (down from 8 matches)
• Arenas: Combatant
  • Play 12 Arena matches (down from 16 matches)
• Arenas: Domination
  • Win 4 Arena matches (down from 6 matches)

U...

Hey everyone, thanks for your feedback regarding the addition of Galactic Starfighter to the PvP Season track! The team has taken a look at the issues you’ve raised surrounding the current state of Galactic Starfighter such as the medals, objectives, skill gap, and bugs. After evaluating this feedback we’ve come to the conclusion that GSF is not in a good position to be added to the PvP Seasons track at this time.

Thank you again for your constructive feedback regarding this change! We will continue to monitor PvP Seasons and your feedback to improve PvP Seasons going forward.

Hey Community!

In patch 7.3, we will be making some changes in an effort to reduce the complexity of Gear Progression in the Legacy of the Sith expansion. I wanted to take some time to discuss these changes with you.

Removal of Daily Resource Matrices
Daily Resource Matrices, rewarded mostly from Daily and Heroic missions, are going to be removed and activities that used to reward DRMs will instead reward Conquest Commendations. This removal will also make it so players of PvP, Flashpoints, and Operations will no longer be required to play Daily or Heroic areas to upgrade their gear (more details on this later in the post).

Players won’t need to do anything to prepare for this currency removal. During maintenance for the 7.3 patch all Daily Resource Matrices and their boxes will be converted into Conquest Commendations. You’ll receive 1 Conquest Commendation for each Daily Resource Matrix.

More breathi...

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We took and look and in a future update the droid from Summon Guild Bank will change to purple to be consistent with Guild Banks.

Hey SWTOR community!

We’re into the development stages of Galactic Season 4 now, so it’s a great time to gather your feedback! We want to hear your thoughts on Galactic Seasons and how they can be improved in the future.

To make this feedback request easier, here’s a quick recap of our Galactic Seasons system. 

What are Galactic Seasons?

Galactic Seasons is a reward track that aims to encourage players to explore various parts of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Galactic Seasons provides high-value rewards, centered around a new companion each season.

How do I make progress during a Galactic Season?

Progressing a Galactic Season requires earning Season Points. These points can be gained in a variety of ways to progress through the 100 levels of the reward track.

1. Each day players can earn Season Points by acquiring 25,000 Conq...

Hey everyone!

I wanted to jump into this thread to confirm some things for you all. As you've calculated, PvP Seasons requires 280 points for each level. Over 25 levels this gets you to (280 * 25 = 7,000) points to complete the season. Earning the maximum points in a single week (1,000) will see you progress (1,000/280 = 3.5714..) levels. There's a lot more numbers on the end there!

The PvP Seasons UI rounds values to give a visual indication of progress, and in this case it will show progress of 3.5 levels. Rest assured you'll have the ability to earn all points required to max the PvP Season! PvP Seasons last 12 weeks so players need to earn 7,000 out of the possible 12,000 points.

I hope this clears things up for you, and maybe I'll see you in the Arenas this season!

Hi... 

Have the same problem with my MainChar Arrassar on Tulak Hord 😞

After days of farming RedReaper I got enough resources  to upgrade an blue earpiece from 320 up to 330. 

Started the quest. 

Deconstructed to blue earpiece. 

But quest didn't complete.... 

 

Is it still bugged or did I something wrong???

 

Its sooooooo frustrating due to hours I spend on farming for nothing.... 

Hey there! Sorry to hear Hyde and Zeek don't seem to be honoring their word. We aren't aware of any issues impacting Hyde and Zeek right now, can I confirm some things with you for me to look into this?

and hopefully the drop rate for the bags is increased?!

Yep!

Hi again everyone! Wanted to pop into the thread one more time to thank you for responding. 

As mentioned in the first post we will be using this feedback in future development of Operations. I've passed on all points about balance and difficulty in R4, and going forward for gearing we'll look to address:

• Gear from Story mode allowing a smoother transition into Veteran mode.
• Increasing accessibility of rare drops based on effort.
• Adjustments in the way vanity armor sets are obtained.
