Hi everyone,

I have an update for you all. The fix needed to resolve this issue will require some downtime. Here are the details that I can share with you right now:

• We are looking into a maintenance downtime early next week. We will be posting details once everything is set.
• Estimated downtime will be about 2.5 hours starting in the morning (much like our regular maintenance timeframe)
• As this does require downtime, we will also be implement a fix to resolve the issue with Kai Zykken's inventory

Will post more concrete details on timing once we have them.

Thanks!

Hi all,

The renown caches will be removed at 7.0. Referencing a post that I made in November:

• Yes as the Renown system is being removed.

To make it clearer, I will update the language in my initial post to say that player should open the caches before Legacy of the Sith launches.

Hey Nee-Elder,

Without going into details, it was more that this was tied to 7.0's original roll out plan. Additionally, a hotfix is not easily implemented at this time. ​

Hello everyone!

More details about the rewards and titles that can be earned during this PTS phase can be found here!

Hi Kondrad-Hyland,

That is not correct information as we have not set an end date. Please do not spread misinformation.

For the player base as a whole, PTS will remain up for the time being. When I have more info on an update, we will be posting to the forums and our social channels.

Hi everyone,

I have an update concerning the notable change that many of you noticed with Kai Zykken. This was a change that was planned for 7.0, however, it went out earlier than expected. Please note that Kai Zykken will remain as is until 7.0.

When Legacy of the Sith launches, Kai will offer the following:

• A rotating collection of Tacticals
• A rotating collection of crafting Schematics for Tacticals and Set Bonuses
• A new Unidentified crate that will give players a piece of Set Bonus gear from the Spoils of War expansion. This will be similar to the current Unidentified Unique Item crate but we will be removing the Tacticals since they can be purchased via other means and renaming the crate to better reflect its content.

Apologies for the confusion on the update to Kai's inventory.

Hey Adryna, wanted to let you know that I posted a follow up in response to your thread.

Hi all,

The above quote is from a different thread, but I wanted to add the clarification here to keep the achievements discussion in the same thread where I posted about them. I will also update the OP's thread as well.

Due to Objective Meridian being a blocker, we are shifting the completion requirement for the complete expansion story achievement:

• For Republic players, completing "Race to Refuel" will satisfy the requirement.
• For Imperial players, completing "The Failsafe" will satisfy the requirement.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Answering a few questions regarding the rewards and titles.

• Log in once into PTS to obtain that reward
• Only one character is needed to obtain the Acts achievement. You do not have to play both factions.
• Using character copy of characters that have not completed Act 1 yet is fine.
• Using the Master Datacron would also work
• Completing the final missions of the expansion story content is what will earn you the expansions achievements as listed.
• Regarding the weeklies, completing any of each of the PvP, Heroic, and Flashpoint Weekly Missions will suffice. You don't have to worry about ranked vs unranked, mode, or playing with both factions.
• The PTS server will remain up until early January

Please remember that with the fundamental changes coming with Legacy of the Sith, a large focus of ours is the player experience with scaling and gearing from beginning to end and with various pa... Read more

I cannot believe an entire year has passed since I was brought onto the team. I've learned a lot from everyone I've worked with and I've certainly learned quite a bit from all of you. Reading through the forums, various comments, chatting with the content creators, seeing players in game, reading chat during the streams, etc...I understand why this game means so much to you.

I appreciate the passion you bring to this community. I read your messages, your suggestions, your feedback, and I look forward to learning more about you all and to also share and celebrate what the team has been working on in due time.

For a bit of nostalgia/good feeling, could you share your favorite sentimental SWTOR moments with me? For me personally, I will never forget getting my lightsaber for the first time, spending WAY TOO much time riding around on a Tauntaun on Hoth, getting my first win in GSF (I wish you could have heard me cheering for joy), and placing my first deco in my Al...

Hello SWTOR Community!

Happy anniversary to all of you! Today marks the 10 year anniversary of SWTOR and our one and only Keith Kanneg just published a letter to all of you which you can read here!

Hello everyone!

The Public Test Server is now open again. This phase of PTS will remain open throughout the holiday season.

The intention is all seasonal items. If something happens to be missing, please send me a PM.

Please also note that with Galactic Seasons 2, we are looking for general feedback on the system that could help refine future seasons. Though Galactic Seasons 2 is available on PTS, we are focusing on polishing the system rather than revamping anything currently in place. Of course, if there is anything impeding progress or system breaking, that will be addressed and fixed, so please let us know if you run into anything of that nature.

Hello everyone!

We would like a key focus to be the player experience with playstyles that were not possible pre-7.0. Please give us feedback on your experience with various Combat Style combinations including using weapons that you could not equip previously.

• Please leave feedback on any inconsistencies you are experiencing such as if something is not displaying correctly or not consistently.
• While watching cinematics, are your weapons displayed properly?
• If not, please list the Combat Style you are using along with the weapon(s) if you have equipped, and the scene in which you are seeing this issue.
• Feel free to give general feedback on the overall experience with these combinations.

Thank you!

Main gearing acquisition and upgrade flows are now on PTS!

• How does the flow of acquiring gear feel?
• What are your thoughts on the pace to acquire gear?
• Feel free to leave general feedback as well

Thank you!

As noted in the general PTS thread, Galactic Seasons 2 is now active on PTS.

• Please provide any general feedback you may have about this season.
• Thoughts on balance and cadence of Objectives given and rewards earned are also helpful
• What are your thoughts about the changes made from Season 1 to Season 2?
• Are you experiencing any system breaking or progress stopping bugs or issues?

Note that all feedback will be used to continue to refine future Seasons!

EDIT: As a reminder, Cartel Coin rewards will be on the tracks when Galactic Seasons 2 goes live. They will never be present in a PTS setting.

Thank you!
