Hey folks,

Quick update on one of the features slated to launch with Legacy of the Sith; Weapons being added to Outfitter. Unfortunately, this feature will not be shipping alongside the expansion and instead will be coming in Game Update 7.1.

We have made this decision due to the feature not being ready for PTS testing this week; it is important to us that we get your thoughts on it before it goes in-game, especially since we know how excited everyone is to see it come to life in SWTOR (as are we!). You shouldn�t have to wait too long before seeing it though! Our goal is to get 7.1�s PTS started in February; we're currently targeting the week before, or the week after 7.0�s launch.

Thank you for your patience. We know you are just as eager as we are to enjoy this added level of character customization!

Hey folks,

With the release of our Itemization in 7.0 article, we wanted to add some clarity around some of the details of that article in addition to providing some supplementary information.

In addition to the removal of the Renown system mentioned in the article, we are changing the Social and server-wide Dark vs. Light systems.

What will happen to Renown Achievements, Legacy Perks, and Boosts

• Achievements will for the most part be moved to Feats of Strength, and have their point values removed (with the exception of Social achievements, as described below).
• Legacy Perks related to these systems will be removed starting in 7.0.
  • Starting to...

Hey folks,

I wanted to share some of the new features and changes coming in 7.0 that we haven�t talked about yet. There is a lot to share and the team is really excited to share them with you, some of these we have been eager to talk about for quite some time! Read on .

Daily and Weekly Mission Reset
First, we�re making some changes to how Daily and Weekly Missions reset. Currently, uncompleted Daily and Weekly Missions sit in that character�s logs until the Mission is completed. Once the Mission is completed, that character can no longer pick up the Weekly again for that week (or daily for that day).

In 7.0, uncompleted Daily and Weekly Missions will be removed from players once the Daily or Weekly reset time passes (currently Tuesday, 12:00am UTC). The primary reason for this change is that we are restructuring th... Read more

Hey Kioth,

Love the question! I can tell you that internally we also overwhelmingly enjoy the cantinas and we truly miss how long it has been since we have been able to see folks. Right now, to protect the safety of the team and any players who would attend, we are not comfortable hosting an event in person.

As soon as things are in a place where we are comfortable hosting events again, you can bet you will see the return of cantinas. When that day comes, I look forward to seeing you there!

Hey all,

I just want to confirm there was an issue where a small percentage of purchases we're delayed in being processed. That issue has now been resolved and you should have received any coins you purchased. If you are still having any issues, please contact support.

Thanks!

Hey folks,

Yup, apologies for any confusion for our Steam users. Currently, you will not be able to access 6.2.1 on PTS. We removed PTS functionality as part of our update to direct patching on Steam. We are working to get PTS available for you as soon as possible but in this case 6.2.1 was ready faster than our Steam functionality was. We didn't want to hold up testing while we continue to work on it.

To set some expectations, it is possible that 6.2.1's PTS cycle will complete before PTS is available for Steam. You can still access PTS though if you have access to the game outside of Steam. We know this isn't ideal but as soon as we have any updates about timing we will let you know.

Thanks for understanding. We will make sure this information is updated in our PTS communications.

This year has certainly had its challenges! Adjusting to working from home during a global pandemic and becoming a dad. You know, I wanted to keep things light this year�

2020 has been an incredible journey and I am so proud to be a part of a team that gets to deliver amazing Star Wars content to players year after year. It�s incredible to think we are only one year away from a decade!

Another one in the bag and I am so excited to continue to be a part of this awesome community for many more years to come.

Hey folks,

Based on your reports we know that solo-mode of Spirit of Vengeance is definitely quite a bit harder than it should be. We were able to get some quick fixes in which are live now (no patch to download)! They are:

• Bask Sunn�s Uppercut Ability has been disabled.
• Rass Ordo's companion influence level has been increased from 1 to 25.

Additionally, we are actively working on a patch to address a number of other issues, look for more details on that tomorrow or Monday. Thanks!

Hey folks,

I am super excited to let you know that we have another team member joining the SWTOR Community Team! Without any further delay please give a warm welcome to...

We have brought PTS down to try to address an issue with the Flashpoint. Hoping to get it back up tomorrow, we'll let you know what's up then!

Hey folks,

With the situation unfolding tonight with our Ubisoft colleagues in Montreal, we're going to postpone our livestream cantina to a future date which we will announce soon. Thanks everyone, and be safe.

Hey folks,

Just to clarify and I think some of you have already alluded to this. The fix that Natha referenced above will remove "I Don't Have to Put up with This" from the requirements for "Master of the Feast".

We refer to meta Achievements as grouping of Achievements over a category, such as how "Master of the Feast" is a collection of Achievements for the Feast of Prosperity.

Hope that clears up any confusion!

-eric

We've seen good results so far from the fix we deployed and so we are now rolling it out to all servers. Let us know if you continue to experience being grouped with another player and then get placed in a separate Warzone.

Thanks all.

-eric

Hey folks,

As some of you know there has been an intermittent issue in SWTOR where in rare circumstances, grouped players can end up in different Warzones. We are testing a fix for that this evening on Darth Malgus only. If you are a PvPer on DM, feel free to jump in and queue for Warzones like you always do. Let us know if you run into any issues! We'll circle back tomorrow and let you know what we are seeing. Thanks as always.

Hey folks,

Gonna take a bit more then just a quick fix to get things corrected for PTS so it will remain offline through the weekend. We'll swing back on Monday with a status update. Thanks all.

-eric

Hey all,

PTS is up but there is a potential issue with the patch (which is why you are seeing the error message). We are seeing if we can resolve before the weekend. I will let you know where it lands.

Hey all,

Coming in 6.1.4 are a number of anti-toxicity measures that Chris outlined in his post here. Please use this thread to share your feedback on them, especially if you try any of them on PTS!

• What is your feedback on backfilling in Solo Ranked now prioritizing the same role as the one that left along with increasing the penalties for leaving?
• What is your feedback on the removal of vote kick from Ranked PvP?
• What is your feedback on Ranked PvP now requiring iLvl 306 in order to queue?
• What is your feedback on the addition of Legacy ignore?

Hop on the PTS and share your thoughts with us!

Hey folks,

It is intended that if you are not wearing a relic that you lose it's on-use effect as noted, which includes the Antiviral Kit. However, we definitely understand this has gearing implications and so we are looking at ways to make the experience of the Antiviral Kit be less detrimental to your character's power where possible. We will share any updates as we have them and thank you for the feedback.
