Dev Post EricMusco Posted September 7, 2018 Dev Post Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hey folks, Playtest Sessions Saturday, 9/8 10AM: 12PM PDT (5PM - 7PM GMT)Sunday, 9/9 10AM: 12PM PDT (5PM - 7PM GMT) PTS Patch Notes Made some environmental changes to the map to make it feel a bit less "cluttered."Removed the "box stack" in the center catwalks and replaced them with forcefields. This gives more visibility across the map as well.Throw the Huttball will now stay in the first pop-up slot if you also have the Gravity Grapple ability. This should address concerns for players who keybind the Throw the Huttball ability.The Gravity Grapple ability should now work when hit with a ballistic from all abilities.Baron Deathmark will now yell at you when you kick the Huttball, NO KICKING.Added colored arrows around the map to help with navigation.Fixed various collision and asymmetry issues around the map.To help alleviate some concerns such as being knocked in the pit being punishing and challenges in being able to defend properly, the central air vents on the map will no longer be random. Instead they will now always jump the player back to a defensive position on the catwalk.Players are now able to shield Critical hits. Like always, we will be running around playing incognito alongside you! Hop in and don't forget to pass on your feedback on the new map, here. In order to participate simply have a character of any level on any faction and queue up within the specific window. As a note, if you end up in an Arena match instead of Vandin, do your best not to leave the match. Instead try to complete it as quickly as possible and then requeue. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banderal Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Er... is the patch actually up? I just went to the PTS, and I let me in immediately. It didn't seem to apply any patch at all. [Edit: Oh. Never mind. I see that when I click "play", that the server is actually down. Just bad timing on my part. I guess the patch is not live yet. ] Edited September 7, 2018 by Banderal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandoras_Jar Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'll be there of course but I have one small request. If there are any more playtest sessions after this lot, can one of them at least be after 3 pm Central. For my sanity's sake haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandFlurry Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) My downloading this a big problem, this is only 11 to 17 gigs and i have 100 mega bits per second, and have been testing my download speed for an hour while i have been trying to download this patch for 3 hours. It should have been done already, as other downloads are taking only seconds to minutes. Yeah, i know of the hops and servers are different, but it has never been this terrible.

That really limits how many people can participate as it seems to be setup with mainly EU players primetime or people who have mornings free, which not everyone does, Can we please have a later session setup for afternoon/early East Coast primetime players. More people play at prime time for a reason. It’s when they can get on. Edited September 8, 2018 by TrixxieTriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandFlurry Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I actually got to play for once, lol. I wish there was more people on throughout the day. It was pretty cool, but wished it would have lasted longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaleg Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Strange, the test client hangs up on the first loading screen before the character select. Does anyone else have this problem? It worked last time I was on the PTS though... Edited September 9, 2018 by Khaleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
