I want to see a new combat style that allows me to use the Electrostaff... I want to use the Gaffi Stick, the Beskar Spear and other similar tools without using the force. It would fit with my scoundrel or merc

BUMP because this is super important. It makes me waste a lot of time. Further it comes with a risk of damaging my laptop... when it uses ALL the space available, it starts to interfere with the functionality of the OS.

Hi PTS team, now that this update is live, I am facing the issue again. I will try to use steam instead, but I would appreciate a note from the devs that this is being looked into.

Hi PTS team, I have a problem with the download. I started downloading the PTS, but for some reason it downloaded more than 100GB of data in the Bioware folder. I noticed just in time to avoid catastrophe with my laptop, because it used all the remaining space in my hard drive. I had to uninstall SWTOR and I am currently installing it again from scratch. I thought the most this game needed was 38GB (more or less)? This also happened to me previously when we upgraded the game to 7.2, but it happened with the production version of the game, not the PTS. I resolved it by uninstalling and installing again. I mentioned this in the forums back then, but with this, I can confirm the bug is NOT fixed. https://forums.swtor.com/topic/926377-either-72-is-a-really-big-update-or/

I also want to thank the developers for such a great story. Not only that, but the planet is well designed, and rich in detail. What a great addition to the game.

I have installed the game again, and this time it downloaded without problems (about 49GB as noted by the Properties tab of the filesystem, for the folder Bioware).

I am using the regular Launcher. I was playing fine yesterday and my laptop was fine as well. Specs: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date Alienware 1.18.3, 9/27/2022 SMBIOS Version 3.2 Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB Hard drive 500 GB (116 GB FREE)

This is an actual problem. I thought I was attacked by a virus, but it was actually the 7.2 update, which downloaded more than 100gb. Thankfully I stopped it before it downloaded further. I had to uninstall SWTOR and that cleared my C drive.

I pay a lot of attention to the feedback, and I think that's not it. I know of a couple of folks that take this to such a level, that it almost feels like a one shot. I just don't get it. I even doubt that those defending pile driver actually use it the way it is being used by some people. One thing is to pile drive and hit a few times, quite another is to melt people in one shot or 2 shots (or at least that's what it looks like).

I dis the fight yesterday and i agree with this assessment. It’s wayyy too hard for SM, we wiped and wiped. Feels like HM level. But mechanics are really fun

I wanted to kindly ask the devs to please look at this. It's really changed the game, and I only see the same people winning every match with this exploit. It is cheap, unskillful, and there aren't any defenses against it. It also completely invalidates other weapon options like Ion cannon.... why bother when you can just exploit doubleshotting people. See a working example here. Nothing needs to happen. But if devs acknowledge that it will be reviewed, that is a start.

that's the problem, what you are saying is not situational.... it is ALL the time. I literally use pile driver for every kill, and I shred people with it. It just takes a couple of seconds. It also takes away the fun in the longer dogfights I used to have... running way or chasing someone.

EXACTLY:rak_03:

we have a big problem in GSF, where a handful of players have mastered the Pile Driver maneuver so well, it basically becomes a one-shot mechanism. This causes a massive imbalance in the game, where these same players just play the game all day, and farm the frags and commendations. Most importantly, it is very frustrating, I can't defend my ship against these shots. My only defense is to copy the strategy... Please, FIX THIS. I am baffled that even though I have played this game for years, my experience is trumped by a broken game mechanic.

It happens all the time and it is really annoying. I can't hear enemy ships hitting me.

In the SOA fight (EV operation), if you fall from the platforms, your character's body becomes invisible and you can't be revived. That means, after the fight, if everyone loots and leaves the area, you won't be able to retrieve your loot. Even if you go to medcenter, you would have to run back, jump into SOA's fight area and die, and ONLY THEN, will your body be visible for others to rez. However, this will only work if you have friends willing to wait. Otherwise, your loot is lost.

The Underworld Exchange vendors in the fleet sell several old cartel market items. Some of these items, upon purchase, will get unlocked in collections, while others don't. For example: 1. Diplomat's Meditation HoverChair (unlocked in collections) 2. Mira's Jacket (NOT unlocked in collections). 3. Imperator's Command Hoverchair (unlocked in collections) 4. Valor lightsaber (NOT unlocked in collections). PLEASE FIX! Thank you <3

Considering we have The Mandalorian going on.... I think it is time to introduce this weapon to the cartel market. This weapon already exists in-game, but only for NPC sand people. The animations, graphics, is all there. It's just a matter of making it available for players to use.

Thank you for the reply. It seems this armor will soon be available as a cosmetic item in the expansion. I saw it in the PTS.

This is a great summary of changes. My opinion is that concealment generally feels good, but I feel that now our survivability has taken a major hit for PVP. I can't test as well as in PROD because we don't have ranked matches in PTS. My guess is that Operative is overall nerfed for PVP. See my thoughts below. Evasion is pretty much useless in PVP, which is a big contributor to my dps. I used to have Evasion with Blow for Blow (150% damage back) + Evasive Imperative (cooldown dropped with every attack). That meant I could use evasion to deal a lot of damage. Perhaps I will have to find an alternative method to get that same dps. I also don't see Cunning Competencies, which allowed me to use countermeasures for purging all movement-impairing effects. I dont see a direct skill 1-1 from what we had before. There is Quick Countermeasures now, but it does not PURGE all movement impairing effects. There is also Tactical Critical which purges movement impairing effects, but now I have to think about how I use stim boost... I can adapt, but will require practice and some changes in rotation. I have to choose between flashbang and holotraverse. No problem, this is a change I can live with. I DONT SEE REVITALIZERS. This used to heal me for a total of 25% of my health, and I would trigger that again with Tactical Overdrive. Now I am only getting the extra alacrity and critical. That was a major loss for me. From a PVP survivability perspective, I feel that we have been nerfed. I also don't see Fortified Kolto. When this was active damage reduction was increased by 3% per stack (2). However, now this doesn't exist. So, that means again, less survivability in PVP. EDIT: There's also a bug that doesn't seem to select the options I chose from the combat proficiencies page. I sometimes select an option, and it looks good and I close it. When I open it again, the skill selected is different. Let's say I choose Tactical Overdrive, but then next I open the page, it is back at Tactical Critical

ty for this info!

im really enjoying the new galactic seasons. i love the theme of the underworld and the commendation system that relates to it. I'm still exploring what will come out of those syndicate items, but the theme is great.

YES, plz, we need an achievement so we know we have done everything. For example, do we need to do the Ranked Group PVP Weekly as well? Or does the regular unranked count to satisfy this requirement? I am not sure, and I bet a ton of people don't even realize they might not be 100% ready to get the reward. I guess the achievement would help clarify what is needed.

ok that makes a bit more sense, but I can only see a way of getting to 320. How do I go from 320 to 322?

I think the dev's description of combat styles was pretty clear all along.
