Thank you for your patience as we investigated this issue. It has been resolved, however, please note that players who have downloaded or started to download the patch will have to re-download the game in its entirety. Those who have not patched should be able to log in and play the game as normal. We apologize for the inconvenience to the impacted players.

Denolm Orr, Jedi Master and seasoned Archaeologist outlines a special project that would see him, and a team of specialists, travel to the cold and wind-blasted planet of Elom in search of answers.

October is traditionally the best month for exploring the unknown corners of space.

I hope you enjoy this peek behind curtains from Task Force Nova as they work to keep the galaxy safe from both ancient and terrifyingly imminent threats.

It would also be nice to know if there are still plans for a deep dive into the combat styles considering what we have provided feedback for so far are the high level overviews, and how that might differ to what we've seen over the past few months.
Hey LordCamTheGreat,

I don't have an update today, but I will have more concrete details to share sometime next week.

Thanks!

The last one I went to was the one at Comic-Con San Diego, for onslaught got the T-shirt and everything. Was fun! I also been to the one at EA HQ in San Fransico, Ca for Starfighter Launch.

I think the community overwhelmingly enjoys the cantinas and should continue. I would like to hear from Devs, especially Eric Musco about the future.

Thanks, Feel Free to discuss!
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!

PSA: There is NO warning when pressing the "buy with CC" button for Strongholds.

Hi OddballEasyEight,

The Confirm Purchase prompt showed up when the CC purchase button was clicked when I tested this. Can you confirm that you did not click "Do not show this dialogue again" at any point? I want to confirm if this is a bug you are experiencing.

Thanks.

#4 The Best View In SWTOR Contest

Hey everyone!

There were a handful of good questions asked in this thread and it took some time to gather the proper responses.

Why can't players from certain countries take part in the contest?

Unfortunately, currently the contest is only open to those listed in the contest guidelines. However, we are looking into how we can expand into more countries in the future. Note that this is subject to local laws and regulations.

Can screenshots be taken from within strongholds, flashpoints, etc?

Strongholds, Flashpoints, and other instances that take place on the listed planets are acceptable. The same listed rules apply to these areas as screenshots taken in the open-world version of the planets.

For players with higher native resolutions than 1920x1080, how should they submit their images?

We are clarifying the guidelines to be "1920x1080 or higher resolution". As long as the submitted screenshots are 1920x1080 or above, that is acceptable on our end. Reminder, we will be editing the chosen submissions to a 4:3 ratio to best fit our Stronghold decoration template.

Can I take screenshots from out-of-bounds?

Even if a player is able to get into an out-of-bounds area by purely in-game means, we feel like that is not in the spirit of the competition as it is clearly not intended for players to be there. Screenshots taken in such a manner would be subject to disqualification.

Hey everyone!

In honor of our upcoming 10-year anniversary, today we announced an exciting contest and we would love to see all of you participate in it. For the next two weeks players will be able to submit screenshots of ten specific planets and one submission per planet will then get turned into an in-game Stronghold portrait decoration that'll be available on the 10-year anniversary vendor. The people that submitted the chosen screenshots will also receive something special - a gilded version of the decoration that their screenshot was turned into, which only they will receive.

A full breakdown on the submission criteria can be found in this article.
