Hey folks!

We are about to open up the PTS, so I'm going to close this thread. You can migrate over to the PTS Forums for all your Public Test needs!

Odessen Proving Grounds
  • Lana doesn’t announce a winner at the end of the match. We assure you she is pleased with the Alliance, but just doesn’t know how to put it into words yet.
  • Control Point signs above the doors are facing the wrong way.
  • The loading screen does not have rules or a map shown.
  • Vendors are missing from the spawn points.
  • Daily and Weekly PvP Missions do not complete at the end of the match.
  • There are currently no Achievements listed.
  • There is no backfill deactivation, so players might get a pop for a match that is close to completion.
  • Players do not gain Objective medals while capturing or defending a Control Point.
  • Attempting to use a Battle Mod Slice while it can’t be used gives a debug error.

Rishi Cove Arena
  • The loading screen is missing some visual elements.

Thanks!

New Gameplay Focus Areas! Both PvP and PvE instances are now available on any server, allowing friends who prefer any gameplay type to play together on the same server. Players can toggle their focus via their Character Portrait or the mini-map icon.

Unlock additional Strongholds! You can now activate all 5 Strongholds for use by your Legacy!

Do not use start @ 60 tokens on PTS

Hey everyone,

If you are using PTS to test high-level content, use the Character Transfer option found in your Account on swtor.com.

DO NOT USE START @ 60 TOKENS ON PTS. The PTS is a live server and it will deduct from your account's Start @ 60 uses. Customer Support will not be able to restore any tokens used on the PTS, and characters that are created on PTS will be wiped at the end of the testing cycle.

Game Update 4.3 PTS

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are going to be working to bring the 4.3 PTS online today. We are aiming for around 11AM CST, but that could change depending on a few different variables. Right now, I don't imagine it will change. Character Copy is currently offline, but will be available once the PTS is.

Keep an eye on the PTS Forums, as any further news and updates will go there.

Thanks, and see you out there!

Livestream Updates

Hey folks,

Thanks to all of you who have posted feedback on our Livestreams. Based on your feedback we have some changes planned.

The monthly Producer Livestreams, scheduled the second Thursday of each month have been well received as we are able to address community concerns and offer information into what is coming so that is going to continue in its current form. The Story Livestream hosted by Charles Boyd, offers insight into the upcoming story chapters. Unfortunately, this is simply not working in the Livestream format. When you guys come to a livestream you are typically there for a few things; a dialog with us, answers to some of your questions/concerns, announcements around content, etc. The focus on sharing story insights just didnt work in the interactive format of Twitch.

Based on this feedback, we are going to do away with the story livestream. In its place, the team is going to work on a vlog which will provide similar insights in a video format posted on our YouTube channel. This means that if you love getting that information, you will still get it! Plus, the Story vlog will now include gameplay footage and some first looks into the next Chapter. This may mean that Charles will crash Bens stream now and again to talk a little bit of story, but ultimately that insight will be moved to the video.

Again, thank you all for your feedback on our livestreams. Make sure you dont miss our next Livestream, the March Producer Livestream, coming March, 10th on Twitch.tv/SWTOR. Thanks everyone!

If you still haven't received email with cartel coins code, please post here.

Hey folks,

I wanted to let all of you know that we are looking into the emails. For starters, here are a few things you should look for. As always, make sure to check all of your email folders, including spam, promotions, etc. The subject line of the email is either "A Familiar Face Joins Your Team - Play Chapter 10 Now!" or "Chapter 10 and Firebrand are here - Play Now!". I know of some users who deleted the email thinking it was just our normal newsletter, but your codes were contained in those emails.

Now, with all of that being said, I am looking into a few things:
  • Was the email sent to everyone who qualified.
  • Were there any errors during sending, that caused some people to be missed.
  • Did any other issues occur during the process which caused some people to be missed.

I have been going through this thread to verify that users were properly identified. As an example, Mutiny, the OP of this thread. I can see that you qualified for the email, and are on the list of people who received emails. So now I am checking on our side to ensure that users like you were in fact properly sent their email.

I will let you know what I find out!
