SWTOR website (& forums) no longer keeps me logged in as it did before. I have to submit my login details and security code every single time I visit the page. Is this a new thing?

Alderaan Warzone Map: Is it easier to obtain Attacker and Defender points? No - I didn't feel like there was any difference. Do you feel like you can earn 8 medals even if you do not win matches? Not sure with the testing I did. One losing match I was able to get just 4 medals. In the second losing match I got 8 medals. I think this was entirely dependent on the class I played. In the 4 medal match I played my main Sorc spec (lightning) BUT was target one as I think all players associate Sorc with healer. In the 8 medal match I played my Assassin spec and was able to get to 8 medals by the end of this match. In both matches I did a mixture of defending and attacking. How many medals did you earn per match per win/loss? Played three matches (long wait for the third). All 3 I played were losses -I got 4 medals, then 8 medals and finally 5 medals. I don't think this accurately represents reality due to the other team being a superior make-up. General PvP matches: If you participated in a match, please describe the makeup of your group and the group you were paired against. The first 2 teams we had zero healers one tank & the rest ranged and melee players. In the third match, our team had 7 players including 1 healer and mostly melee dps. The opposing team for the first and third matches were ridiculously overpowered as well as having 3 healers. How is it possible to use force scream to one hit kill a sorc who is at full health, in 330 gear, has a shield up and a DoT heal going? I smell shenanigans. Or Devs...😜 Feel free to leave general feedback of your experience with matchmaking. I don't know if it's possible to delay matchmaking until each group has an equal number of healers. Also, how will medal accumulation work for healers in PvP (yes I'm thinking of trying healing PvP for a change). Note: I think I hate Alderaan battle map now 😭 Question: How do we know the game recorded us as qualifying for the mount? There was no specific achievement come up that could be screenshotted as proof.

Genius! You solved my problem 😁

I'm not been able to log into the PTS. I'm clicking play and it's just staying dimmed. What am I missing? Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/IvNJuUd SOLVED: if anyone else needs the solution it's here: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/927644-pts-not-loading-fix-by-installing-direct-x-9/

Where is the compatability box? I have an issue where the I click "play" to access the PTS and nothing happens.

I've been in this thread since it started and I don't remember any of us coming up with a "suicide by Sith" reason - it's brilliant. I was always thinking he was manipulated/mind controlled by Baras into believing he could actually beat us - he never considered that he might lose. But suicide by Sith makes sense given the dialogue before the fight when he seems to break the control to admit his feelings but then the control kicks back into him being full of mocking confidence with his plan to defeat us.

Question: what's the best UK time (GMT) to log into the PTS to test PvP? I don't want to miss my chance for the Opal Vulptilla Mount. Also, are all PvP maps open on the PTS via the queueing system?

Cost for Quick Travel (QT) seems a bit harsh as does cost for going to your stronghold since a lot of effort went into earning & unlocking QT and buying/unlocking strongholds. (Yeah, I'm back - I saw points for defending in PvP and re-subbed since that was one of my feedback things 😁)

100% agree with NeoBlakkrstal that Huttball (all Huttball maps) it's nearly impossible to get to 8 medal since the change. This was rarely the case before. I'll add that healers are doomed, tanks are doomed and in maps that need people to defend objectives, defenders are doomed. I've been saying for years: PLEASE increase the rewards/medals/valor gained for defending. This is more needed now since 8-medals-system has made all maps with defendable objectives medal-generating-crappy-mid-fights instead (even more than before). There's no point in even trying to defend (defence=no medals). You may as well delete all the maps with defendable objectives and replace them with an all-in 8v8 fight pit (don't be stealing my idea. Actually do steal it; that could be fun 😆)

I'm very undewhelmed with the lack of story content in 2022. The one current story (if it can be called that) - the Shae Vizla- Heta Kol fiasco doesn't interest me much. What's the likelihood of some proper story content next year? (By proper, read big and ongoing KotFE-style). Will there be announcement on the continuation or conclusion of the Malgus story? Where's the 10 year celebration? Where are Arn and Rivix? Will our classic companions ever get attention? [Before anyone suggests it, yes I have quit & unsubbed - expires tomorrow. Time to give swtor a rest until I hear there's something of interest to me coming. I got fed up with the grind, the lack of story, the ruination of altoholics and worst of all, the weakening of lightning spec (my main and favourite spec). And my stuff is in storage so you can't have it! 🤪]

🥳 Looking forward to seeing which vistas won this time around.

Did the Devs forget about the best view in swtor II? 7.2 is out next week and there's not been a thread on the winners (not one I could find). Is this happening this patch or in the New Year?

7.2 is out next week. Have the winners been announced?

Per your suggestions, I disabled utility bar 2 and et voila! Problem solved. I'm pretty sure I can survive without utility bar 2. Huge thanks for persevering with your help suggestions 🙏😊

I was able to get onto the PTS on Saturday (3rd Dec) without issue and just tried to access the PTS today (Mon 5th Dec) to try a UI suggestion from another forum member. Unfortunately I get this error message. Anyone any ideas what it means? I've not changed or added anything to my PC over the weekend so I have no clue. [for info, live game is working fine] EDIT: After I closed the forums and retried the launcher it is now working. That's probably a coincidence. Or not. I have no idea what I'm doing 🥴

I'm with you now! I'm going to have a play around and see if I can get rid of it with the way I have my utility set. Thanks for adding the pictures.

I think you misunderstood my post. The exit icon CANNOT BE MOVED OR ADJUSTED (it is fixed; it's not attached to anything, cannot be moved anywhere or resized) with my chosen layout (which I won't be changing because it allows MY ACCESSIBILITY to the game (correct size and layout that allows me to play). All I want is for the dev team to make the Stronghold Exit icon moveable. At the very least, they could acknowledge the feedback or what is the point of me (and others) taking the time (and space) to download the PTS and test out their changes (which we end up asking every. single. PTS). They've not responded to my feedback which is a shame. Small things like this in mine or others visual field can be game changing and if it's still there on live, as a Stronghold lover, my interest in the game will be gone. Here is my interface in the live game: As I play Customisation open No exit icon and that's how it should stay. If there is a way to remove the exit icon on the PTS without altering my chosen layout let me know (with pictures!).

I've mentioned this somewhere else but I'm not sure which is the correct thread for it. I have my interface laid out in a way that suits my brain, but it probably completely opposite to everyone else. Unfortunately, this means the new utility bars are in an awkward place but I can live with that. The WORST thing is in strongholds, the exit stronghold icon now sits top right of the screen on my interface AND CAN'T BE MOVED. This might seem minor to most people but for me that is a sub killer/game deleting problem. I've been waiting for the PTS to be updated, hoping that this would be altered but it hasn't. Right now this is my interface and the same with the editor on: My usual interface layout With the Interface Editor open

I've only just seen your (above) question, which I don't think any of us have replied to. I didn't notice the "Second Best View" competition announcement on the forum; I saw it the the main SWTOR page news section (29th Sept).

😂😂😂

It took me a while to work out how to put the icons back on the minimap. For anyone else who's having a derp moment, it's the option "maximal" in the interface setting. The area labels on the larger minimap interface are odd (they seem to sit behind everything else and are somewhat obscured (see this image). I could not find a way to bring these labels forward/make them more prominent. I like the prominent arrow on the minimap the indicates the player's location. On entering a Stronghold, I get the "Exit Area" icon stuck to the top right (← image link) of my interface and annoyingly this cannot be altered/customised. Whatever it going on with this is a big NOPE from me. Some of us prefer our interfaces the way have mine set up (not getting into a discussion - my reasons are my brain works with this set up). Make this icon moveable please.

Mine is worse. It get stuck in a 10-15 minute loop of downloading, checking, downloading every time I switch from PTS to live and I'm sure it said 5gb not one. This never happened with PTS before the new launcher.

I know they've combined the stories (writer vacancies?) but they are going with the Mando side of the story first from the info they gave during the livestream. I'm indifferent to Mando side of the story and Sa'har and Ri'Kan Kateen. But I guess they need an enemy in Heta Kol for the non-force user player characters (makes more sense than going up against über force wielders like Arcann/Vaylin/Malgus/Valkorian with a gun).

This is the hook that keeps me subbed even though I should probably pause because I've literally done every combination of available story and have 70+ alts. Slightly off-topic so spoilered:

🥳 Thank you!!
