We definitely have plans to do subscriber rewards leading up to the expansion but we aren't ready to share those details yet. You can expect more information on that in early October.

Interesting theory

If you enjoyed KOTFE then you are going to love KOTET, stay tuned for more information early October. All of us cant wait to talk about the new expansion and start sharing information with you all!

It did catch his eye and he passed it on to all of us - Thank YOU for playing the game!

Hey All, Wanted to pop in quickly to let you know the Guss Tuno Recruitment mission will be available with Chapter XVI as part of Game Update 4.7 on August 9th Ben

Bonjour à tous ! Lors de notre dernier LiveStream producteur, nous avions annoncé que le Chapitre 16 : La bataille d'Odessen sortirait le 28 juillet (avec un accès anticipé le 26). Mais nous avons finalement décidé de décaler la date de sortie au 11 août (accès anticipé le 9). Ce chapitre représente le paroxysme de l'histoire Fallen Empire et nous voulons être certains qu'il aura l'impact émotionnel que l'histoire mérite. Nous prendrons ce temps pour pousser l'histoire plus loin et donner au chapitre final de Knights of the Fallen Empire une fin digne de ce nom. Une fin qui, dans la tradition de toutes les grandes histoires Star Wars, vous donnera envie d'en voir plus ! Merci de votre patience, nous avons hâte de découvrir tous vos commentaires après la sortie. Même si nous décalons la date de sortie, nous vous assurons que nous prendrons toutes les mesures nécessaires pour qu'il n'y ait pas de problèmes d'accès le moment venu : Les joueurs qui se sont qualifiés pour la récompense d'abonné en juillet recevront celle-ci le 26 juillet. Les joueurs ayant obtenu l'accès anticipé en s'abonnant avant le 1er juillet pourront accéder au chapitre le 9 août. Les joueurs abonnés au 28 juillet auront accès au Chapitre 16 lorsqu'il sera disponible le 9 août. Nous avons hâte de partager le Chapitre 16 avec vous et vous donner la chance d'affronter votre destin en incarnant l'Étranger. Nous vous remercions pour votre soutien sans faille ! Ben

Hallo miteinander! Bei unserem letzten Produzenten-Livestream haben wir angekündigt, dass Kapitel 16: Die Schlacht von Odessen am 28. Juli erscheinen soll (frühzeitiger Zugang am 26. Juli). Wir geben heute bekannt, dass wir die Veröffentlichung auf den 11. August verschieben müssen (frühzeitiger Zugang am 9. August). Das Kapitel ist der große Höhepunkt der Fallen Empire-Story und wir möchten absolut sichergehen, dass die Geschichte das hochemotionale Finale bekommt, das sie verdient. Wir werden die Zeit nutzen, um noch härter daran zu arbeiten, dass das letzte Kapitel von Knights of the Fallen Empire ein gebührendes Ende hat – ein Ende, das ganz in der Tradition großer Star Wars-Geschichten, euer Verlangen nach noch mehr weckt! Danke für eure Geduld. Wir freuen uns schon auf euer Feedback, sobald das Kapitel erschienen ist. Wir verschieben zwar die Veröffentlichung, können euch aber versichern, dass wir alle notwendigen Schritte unternehmen, um sicherzustellen, dass es keine Zugangsprobleme gibt, wenn das Kapitel da ist: Spieler, die im Juli für die Abonnement-Belohnung qualifiziert waren, erhalten ihre Abonnement-Belohnung für Juli wie gehabt am 26. Juli. Spieler, die als Abonnent am 2. Juli für den frühzeitigen Zugang berechtigt sind, werden ab dem 9. August frühzeitigen Zugang zum neuen Kapitel haben. Spieler, die am 29. Juli Abonnent sind, erhalten frühzeitigen Zugang zu Kapitel 16, wenn es am 9. August erscheint. Wir freuen uns schon darauf, wenn ihr mit Kapitel 16 beginnen könnt, um euch eurem Schicksal als Fremdling zu stellen - danke für eure tolle Unterstützung! Ben

Hey everyone, During our last Producer Livestream we announced that Chapter XVI: The Battle of Odessen would go live on July 28th (early access on the 26th); as of today we have decided to move the release to August 11th (early access on the 9th). This Chapter reveals the climactic ending to the Fallen Empire story and we want to make sure it delivers the emotional impact that the story deserves. We are going to take this time to push it further in an effort to bring the Knights of the Fallen Empire’s final Chapter to a fitting ending – one that, in the tradition of all great Star Wars stories, leaves you wanting more! Thank you for your patience and we look forward to hearing your feedback post release. Although we are moving the date, we want to reassure you that we are taking the necessary steps to ensure that you will not have any access issues when the time comes: Players who qualified in July for the Sub Reward will still receive the July Subscriber reward on July 26th. Players who qualified for early access by being a Sub on July 1 will still have early access to the Chapter on August 9th. Players subscribed as of July 28th, will be granted access to Chapter XVI when it goes live on August 11th. We are looking forward to sharing Chapter XVI with you and give you the chance to face your destiny as the Outlander - Thank you for your continued support! Ben Edit: Changed a typo concerning the launch date in Ben's 3rd bullet (-eric)

Hey All, There are a lot of forum posts and conversations happening around the Dark vs Light Event. We are paying attention and following what all of you are saying. Our plan is to share our thoughts on the Event during the Live Stream on Thursday (https://www.twitch.tv/swtor). That doesn't mean that changes are or aren't coming but we will talk through some of the main topics then. See you on Thursday! Ben

There was an issue completing the final step of the mission that only showed itself when there were multiple people trying to do it at the same time. Would have caused a lot of problems for a lot of people and unfortunately we were not able to get a fix in place in time for 6/28. We decided to push Guss out of the update instead of delaying the release of Chapter XV.

Guss Tuno carried out an overly-elaborate con job to convince the galaxy that his recruitment mission would go live with Chapter XV: The GEMINI Deception (4.6). But as with most of Guss’s con jobs, this caper has failed spectacularly. Guss Tuno’s recruitment mission has thus been delayed and will be made available in a future update.

Thought this thread was really cool and realized I had the information at my fingertips so I wanted to share. Below is the average item rating for characters who completed each encounter of the Eternal Championship in the last two weeks. Average Item Rating 1st Boss -209.04 2nd Boss - 209.91 3rd Boss - 210.26 4th Boss - 210.59 5th Boss - 211.38 6th Boss - 211.98 7th Boss - 212.22 8th Boss - 212.35 9th Boss - 212.40 10th Boss - 212.40

I really enjoyed reading this thread and was trying to think of an appropriate quote - couldn't decide between these two. Thoughts? There is a time to fight and there is a time to be clever The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting

To be honest, I haven't read all 34 pages of this thread, but if we reduced transfer prices for a week, would that allow you all enough time to organize your guilds to transfer to the place that makes the most sense for your guild?

Glad to hear all of you like the addition! AZ kept seeing players request this and had been pestering us for a while to find some time to get it done. In the end he just stayed (extra) late to make it happen so you should direct your thanks his way

Producer Live Stream: Wednesday, May 4th, 2-2:30 PM PT https://www.twitch.tv/swtor

Love the discussion in this thread - keep it coming! For those of you interested in a Chapter XIV tease, be sure to tune into tomorrow's (Wednesday) Producer Live Stream - https://www.twitch.tv/swtor

Close enough?

I wanted to stop by this thread to say thank you to all the people offering advice and guidance. It's really great to see our community helping out a returning player - Thank you!

I also have a GTX 970 but my monitor is getting old… sounds like it may be time for an upgrade.

Hi there! My name is Ben Irving, Producer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I don’t often make posts in the forums, in fact, this may be my first ever post. Despite that, our whole team, myself included try to digest all of the internet for SWTOR information – The forums, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, etc. Recently there have been questions and concerns around the quality of our releases and the ongoing support for SWTOR and I wanted to stop by to address those concerns. First off, I want to apologize for some of the issues you have experienced in the last couple of months. The monthly chapter release schedule is new and it has come with some unexpected bugs. It has caused problems for some of you and I want to say I am sorry. At our core, the SWTOR team are all gamers, just like you. We empathize with the excitement of wanting to play a great game only to be blocked by a problem. We spend all of our energy striving to make SWTOR the best game possible and when bugs and other issues get in the way of your player experience, we take it to heart. We are committed to doing better and I think Chapter XII: Visions in the Dark shows we are serious about listening to your concerns and making meaningful changes to address them - a high quality chapter, released on time that we hope has met the expectations of our players. Onto the future. Is SWTOR going to receive ongoing support? The answer is absolutely yes. It's worth starting with the things we have already announced, we talk about them on the monthly Producer Live Stream but I think they are still worth mentioning. We had the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire – 9 incredible story driven chapters, 14 companion recruitment missions, Star Fortress, 5 new player levels, 30 flashpoints upgraded to be challenging again, 50 operation bosses upgraded to be challenging again, too many heroic quests to count, a revamp of the 1-60 levelling experience and a huge number of quality of life improvements. More recently we have kicked off our monthly chapter cadence and our third installment – Chapter XII: Visions in the Dark – was just released. That cadence will take us through most of the year ending with Chapter XVI, our story finale for Knights of the Fallen Empire. In addition to all the monthly chapters we have built great supporting content – Recruitment missions to explore the galaxy with some of your favorite companions, the Odessen Proving Grounds Warzone, the Rishi Cove Arena, the Eternal Championship and new levels for crafting. That’s actually more content following a major expansion than we have ever released and the team is really excited for all of you to play it. The harder part to address, because you have to take my word for it, are all the features and content we are working on that we haven’t yet announced. If you follow Charles Boyd or Paul Marino on social media you may have seen some hints of this. The team recently visited our MoCap studio to create new animations. Charles Boyd spent a week at our VO studio recording more lines of dialogue for future story content. The two most exciting things to share are that our writers are deep into the plot summaries for the next season's worth of chapters and we have started the early design phase for new, non-chapter, content. You all know the drill here, I can’t talk about any of the specifics (yet) but what I can say is that we have some REALLY cool stuff to talk about later this year and the whole SWTOR team can’t wait to announce it. Soon. TM. Knights of the Fallen Empire is the most successful expansion we have ever produced. It received critical acclaim from press and fan sites but most importantly, it has been successful because all of you have supported us through the expansion launch and the release of the monthly Chapters. In the eyes of all of our partners, SWTOR is a huge success. BioWare supports this game. EA supports this game. Lucasfilm supports this game. Disney supports this game. In fact, for a game that has been live for almost 5 years, we are receiving an incredible amount of support from all of our partners. It’s both amazing and humbling. If there is anything I would like people reading this to take away it’s this: SWTOR is absolutely being supported into the future. We have a lot of content coming over the next few months and even more exciting things to talk about later this year. All of us here at BioWare appreciate your ongoing support and we are committed to providing the best experience possible. It’s because of you, our players, that this game continues to thrive. Thank you for playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. Ben Irving
