Yesterday I completed Landing Party uprising 4 times on Star Forge, Imperial faction, in a group of 4 level 80 players and it properly credited and completed the Galactic Season weekly objective Quellling The Uprising (4/4).

Yesterday I completed Landing Party once on Satele Shan, Republic faction, in a group of 2 level 80 players and it did not give me or my other group member any credit towards GS weekly objective Quelling The Uprising (0/4).  

Today I completed Landing Party once on Satele Shan, Imperial faction, in a group of 2 level 80 players and it did give me credit towards GS weekly objective Quelling The Uprising (1/4).

Seems like the GS weekly objective Quelling The Uprising discriminates against Republic faction characters... ...

Hi there, 

We are not showing any issues on our side, so we're hoping you can help narrow down some possibilities for us. 

Can you confirm which Uprisings you and your group completed from the list? 
 

Thanks! 

Hi all, 

I've got a few questions and answers from the team that I will share below. 

When is 7.4?

• As we get closer to the release itself, stay tuned for a specific release date. As we noted in the livestream (and noteworthy since the update contains a new Life Day reward), 7.4 is a holiday release.

Can we have the option to replay the class missions so we can see the lighting updates with our existing characters?

• This is definitely the kind of thing we have chatted about internally as something we would love to do, but making the original Class stories replayable or even viewable again is pretty monumental in scope. Not planned currently.

What will be done with HM R-4 Hazardous gear (from blue tokens.) Will this gear just stay as is or will there be an option to convert it to Rakata gear as well? Similar to Virulent gear

...

Hi everyone, 

We're still doing internal testing for the PTS build, and it's looking like we won't be able to open the PTS until early next week. I'll keep you all updated when we're ready to open the server up! 

Hi all, 

I linked the recap of the stream in the OP. But just so this gets picked up on the dev tracker, here's the recap article!  I'm also consolidating some of the questions I'm seeing across various platforms. Will try to post a follow up soon! 

Hi everyone, 

There seems to be a log in issue for players who are in the LATAM region. Team is investigating! 

Hi all! 

Thanks to everyone who watched the stream today! I'll be making posts in the PTS sub-forums when we are ready to open up PTS. 

I also did see feedback regarding the jetpack codes, and we'll be brainstorming ideas on different ways to distribute fun promos during the next stream. Speaking of codes, don't forget to redeem code LotSVizla on this...

Hi again, 

Star Forge is back up and running. Thanks all! 

Hi everyone, 

We've been seeing the reports of the issues playing are experiencing with the Star Forge server. We had to bring the server down, but it will be brought back up soon. Currently, the ETA for the server being down is approximately 30 minutes. I'll update this thread when I get more info. 

Hi everyone! 

Happy to let you all know that we will be hosting a livestream next week for Game Update 7.4! Official announcement can be found here. Please give it a read as the post does contain an intro note from Rob Denton, the President of Broadsword and from Keith as well!

Morning! I see the discrepancies on the live server and what was communicated. Let me triple check what the intended objectives are supposed to be and I'll post an update when I find an answer. 

Okay, it looks like what was communicated were objectives for the beginning of next week and onward. I'll work on updating the article to reflect the intended objectives. In short, what is being shown on the live servers now are indeed the objectives players should work to complete. Thanks for flagging this!

Good morning @JackieKo. The objectives listed in the news post yesterday and the in-game objectives today are completely different. Can we get confirmation on which is right? I don't want to start working on objectives only for them to be changed/reset later. Thanks.

@JackieKo Is this offer limited time only? Or a permanent bundle? And if temporary, how long will this offer be available. I usually buy these offers, but atm am not financially able to do so, so would like to know how long I will have to purchase. Thanks.

Hi there, 

There is no expiration on the bundle, so you definitely have time. 

Good morning, everyone, 

Adding the following to the known issues list for the Mousecapades Galactic Seasons objective. 

• Imperial characters using male body type 3 are getting stuck at the spawn location of the mouse droid. 
  • Workaround: The objective can be completed in the Rishi Cantina.
