Hey all! 

Thanks for the feedback on the character modernization. I don't have all the info now, but I can confirm there is a bug in the shader change that is adding an unintended amount of contrast increase to characters skin. We'll be looking into this further and will post more info later. But wanted to pop in and let you all know!

 

Hi everyone!

We're opening the PTS back up! Please continue to use the below feedback threads to provide feedback for the team! 

• Dynamic Encounters feedback thread
• XR-53 Story Mode feedback thread
• XR-53 Veteran Mode feedback thread

Hi everyone!

Important notes for this current iteration of PTS: 

• Players can either fly to Ilum and walk through the phase door or use Group Activity Finder (this will be the only Encounter listed in that window). 
• The name of the Encounter is called Relentless Replication
• Trash mobs have not yet been implemented. 
• Gear vendors are available in the Supplies Section of both Fleets and near the phase gates. 

Please answer the following questions about the new lair boss, the Propagator Core XR-53. Feel free to also leave overall general feedback. 

• Did you enjoy fighting the Propagator Core XR-53 on Veteran?
• What was your operation comp by role?
• Knowing that the art is still WIP, did you find that an ability was confusing after you had seen it multiple times? Put another way, did you find what the boss was doing to be intuitive?
• ...

Good morning everyone, 

We will be taking down the PTS around 9am CT / 3pm UTC today to deploy a new PTS build which will contain Veteran Mode for the new lair boss. I'll update this post again when PTS is back open! 

Thanks! 

Below are the updates/fixes players will see with the XR-53 encounter.

Some further thought regarding the Lethal Strike ability and Tanks, since this appears to be intended as a tank swap mechanic.
As far as I presently understand it, the debuff on dps and heal are not intended as part of the mechanic when played as intended by the devs, but as punishment in case of incorrect positioning etc.

In our only run with tank, the tank had already one debuff stack and was one-shot by the second Lethal Strike (546k), (no idea why the quality of the screenshot is so bad, sorry for that):

Hi everyone, 

The PTS is now back up. We'll be keeping an eye on the feedback threads! 

Thank you! 

Hey everyone!

Hey everyone, 

Earlier today, we received reports that players were not able to log into their accounts through the website. The issue has been resolved, and players can now log in again. It is possible you may experience a delay when doing so since the issue has been resolved. 

Thank you!

Hi again,

The log in issues have been resolved and we will continue to monitor the server's activity. Thank you for your patience! 

Hey everyone, 

The team is aware of the issues some players are experiencing with logging into the Star Forge server and are investigating. Will update this thread when I have more info. 

Thanks! 

Hey everyone! 

Appreciate all the feedback that has been pouring in for the XR-53 (Story Mode). Below is a list of changes and adjustments that players can expect when we release a new build on PTS. These will be added to the OP as well. 
We’ve received a ton of feedback, so thank you all for spending some time with this early version of the boss. Here’s a rundown of the major issues we’ve seen and are already addressing:

• Biggest one first! Several HP values weren’t calibrated correctly for Story Mode. This had a major impact on the fight, making combat unreasonably long and making adds take too long to defeat. In the next iteration, HP for the Propagator Core itself and many of its minions (Imperfect Constructs and Prey Seekers) have been reduced significantly.
• The Propagator Core remained immobile for much longer than intended, spending too much time casting and making it difficult to reposition it. This made the fight fr...

Hi everyone,

Additionally, we initially reported that Veteran Mode would target the week of October 28th. We are updating that timeline to the week of November 4th. This will be updated in the original PTS post. The original post will also be u...

Hi everyone!

Please answer the following questions about the new lair boss, the Propagator Core XR-53. Feel free to also leave overall general feedback. 

If you are streaming or recording your gameplay while on PTS, we would love to check out the VODs. Seeing players experience the content in real time is incredibly helpful, so feel free to post them here or DM them to me.

Additionally, players will be getting a very early look into 7.6 content at this stage. To set expectations, know that the content that will be released at this time is still a work in progress and not polished. As an example, you may see placeholder or unfinished assets and art.  

If you are reporting a bug, please clearly state that and if necessary, include steps that would allow us to reproduce said bug. 

Important notes for this current iteration of PTS:
