#2 Celebrating 10 Years and Looking Forward

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 Alderaan SH. I seriously can't get over how pretty that planet is.

I wish you all a happy anniversary and if you celebrate, a festive holiday season full of warmth, really good food, and good company.

Best,
Jackie

#4 Galactic Seasons 2 and Activity Finder on PTS!

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 parts of the game.

We understand that this is a tall order but we are also balancing the effort and respect of those who originally obtained these titles in the past.

Hi all,

More details about the rewards and titles that can be earned during this PTS phase can be found here! To clarify some information:
  • Progress made against these goals have been tracked since the last time PTS was wiped and brought back online, so that would be since the 8th.
  • Completing the class story is measured by having the Complete Act 1, 2, and 3 Achievements of the same class
  • Complete all expansion Story content means all expansions currently existing (pre-7.0). You must have completed the following Achievements:
    • Revenge of the Archon or Taking on Toborro
    • Facing the Shadow or Confronting the Shadow
    • Complete Chapter XVI of KOTFE
    • Complete Chapter IX of Eternal Throne
    • The Race to Refuel or The Failsafe
For completing group content, here are a couple of windows of time where we have seen a lot of activity:
  • EU playtime window: 12:00pm - 2:00pm CT / 6:00pm - 8:00pm UTC
  • NA playtime window: 6:00pm - 8:00pm CT / 12:00am - 2:00am UTC

I hope above the info has been helpful.

Hi all, we're seeing some comments about the Cartel Coin rewards missing from the Galactic Seasons 2 reward tracks. 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. I've updated my original post and the Seasons 2 feedback thread with this note.

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

I know this is a long shot, but any chance we could have a sale on server transfers for 90cc (like weve had in the past)??
Currently, character transfer sales are not part of this package, however, this is a request that is on my list. Should a character transfer sale be implemented, I'll be letting everyone know!

???Craft Node Harvest bug. Will it EVER be fixed>????

Hi folks,

The thread was moved to the bug reports section of our forums.

As mentioned in the main thread: Crafting node glitched?, our team is still looking into this known issue. I'll update the thread previously mentioned when I have more information to provide.

As this thread is a duplicate of the one above, I am closing it to avoid multiple threads regarding the same subject.

Galactic Seasons 2 and Activity Finder on PTS!

Hello everyone!

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

What’s new in this iteration of PTS:
  • Character copy is back!
  • Galactic Seasons 2 is now available
  • Activity Finder and Flashpoint/Operation availability has been added
  • Weekly Featured Content Missions are now available
  • You can find these on Mission Terminals in the Fleets and in Groupfinder
  • Loot Discipline preferences have been re-enabled and can be chosen by right clicking your character portrait
  • Achievements are no longer transferred during a PTS Character Copy
  • Adjustments have been made to the balance of both Story Mode Operations and Veteran Mode Operations

Now let’s talk about why achievements are not currently transferring via Character Copy. PTS Rewards are back! Players can earn rewards by doing the following:
  • Logging into PTS
  • Completing a Class Story on any Class
  • Complete all expansion Story content
  • Reaching item rating 322 with one of your characters and complete the PvP, Heroic, and Flashpoint Weekly Missions
  • Completing all of the above

We will be posting details on the rewards and titles later this week.

What new types of feedback are we looking for?

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 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.

Now that the main gearing acquisition and upgrade flows are on PTS, we would like feedback how this feels, and how the pace to acquire gear feels. In addition, we would like new feedback on game scaling and how balance feels relative to the gear being worn in all content: Heroics, Operations, Flashpoints, etc.

To get started on the PTS, follow the steps listed here and let us know if you experience any issues.

Additionally, please review the known issues and status updates post before hopping back into PTS.

For a complete list of all the feedback threads, click here. If you are providing feedback about any of these topics, please use the designated threads so feedback is consolidated. It helps us make sure we gather everything together.

Thank you!
