Galactic Seasons 2 and Activity Finder on PTS!

[LordCamTheGreat]

Don't care about titles and PvP matches will be impossible to do so unless there are big changes to ability grants while levelling and the sheer number of useless ABC passives, I guess there's no point doing more testing.

[Ulathar]

Plz make the PvP weekly matches played again

 

+1

 

I had a lot of 3v4 matches today, one even started at 2v3 so getting four wins took a lot of matches. I expect these sort of things on PTS, but with the change in weekly quest reset, I'd also prefer to have a quest with 8 matches played (wins count as 2) to a "you need 4 wins" on live servers as well. (just imo, of course)

[Pricia]

Plz make the PvP weekly matches played again. Getting matches on the PTS is horrible. Or make it PvP weekly or FP weekly instead of both for that part of the Strike team Hero. At least you can get queu's for FP's from time to time.

 

Agreed.

Will the bug that causes weekly missions to be repeatable each week (I just completed the pvp weekly and was able to pick it up again) impact the completion of the pts achievements?

That's not a bug, it's fully intentional. You can do the weekly 3 times per week.

Hey Jackie, the final titles involvling the weeklies, what exactly is a "heroic" weekly?

There's only one heroic mission that shows up on groupfinder so I'm assuming it's that one (Tatooine currently).

 

It's a daily but I'm guessing that it changes every week.

My interpretation was doing any heroics on the heroic terminal that also has one of the new weeklies attached to that planets heroics.

[*]Reaching item rating 322 with one of your characters and complete the PvP, Heroic, and Flashpoint Weekly Missions

 

 

Which specific Weekly Missions? Both Unranked and Ranked PVP? Both Veteran and Master Flashpoint Weeklies? Which Heroic Weeklies?

[Dormei]

Will there be any progress tracker for these on PTS ? It will make everything much easier to follow up and keep track of what is finished. Edited December 19, 2021 by Dormei

Hello, I would like to leave my two cents about this PTS public test event, mostly the rewards.

 

You see, I participated in the open beta, and also in the first big PTS like this one when the titles 'The First Line of Defense', 'The Cutting Edge', 'Strike Team Specialist' and 'Strike Team Commander' were introduced. I was a lot younger back then and much more enthusiastic, the game was new, I was bent on not missing ANYTHING in this game, get all achievements and all that.

 

I still am a completionist, I still aim to get 100% achievements, I still want to have every little stupid thing you guys throw at us. However, this time I have a little more experience in the field of Quality Assurance, and I understand that this is part of the process. However, you should know (not you Jackie, nor Eric, but the ones asking us to reach these goals to receive these rewards, which are subpar) that the game has become massive after so long, as you know, it has been 10 years almost, there's a lot of story to cover and it's a lot of time and effort.

 

Sure there will be people who will do it for free (I am one of them, sadly) but it would be fair to include something a LOT nicer in this deal. If I were your QA Specialist, I'd gladly do it. But as a player, who has already done the class stories + all expansion content MANY times (more than I want to admit), I feel like the rewards are just not appealing. At all.

 

My suggestion is:

 

• 
   
  GIve away lifetime subscriptions, like to 50 random players who get to complete all the goals in the PTS.
   
  

 

This way more people will feel like joining, at least to get a chance on something that's actually worthwhile.

 

Having to alternate between real life, PTS and live servers is simply not fun.

[SnEaKyMan]

Someone on PTS told me these rewards are TIERED. So you can only get the next reward if you have done the previous reward. As stated in the blog post:

 

• Logging into PTS
  
• Completing a Class Story on any Class
  
• Complete all expansion Story content
  
• Reaching item rating 322 with one of your characters and complete the PvP, Heroic, and Flashpoint Weekly Missions
  
• Completing all of the above
  

 

Can each of these be achieved separately (except for the last one) - Which is obviously itself tiered because you can only get the title and mount if you did every other "separate" task?

 

Can we get some clarification on this please. Thanks!

[JackieKo]

Hi everyone,

 

Answering a few questions regarding the rewards and titles.

 

• Log in once into PTS to obtain that reward
  
• Only one character is needed to obtain the Acts achievement. You do not have to play both factions.
  
• Using character copy of characters that have not completed Act 1 yet is fine.
  
• Using the Master Datacron would also work
  
• Completing the final missions of the expansion story content is what will earn you the expansions achievements as listed.
  
• Regarding the weeklies, completing any of each of the PvP, Heroic, and Flashpoint Weekly Missions will suffice. You don't have to worry about ranked vs unranked, mode, or playing with both factions.
  
• The PTS server will remain up until early January
  

 

Please remember that with the fundamental changes coming with Legacy of the Sith, a large focus of ours is the player experience with scaling and gearing from beginning to end and with various parts of the game.

 

We understand that this is a tall order but we are also balancing the effort and respect of those who originally obtained these titles in the past.

[Ulathar]

Thanks for the clarification, Jackie! :-)

Yeah, I'd like some clarification on this as well. I was willing to go for the iRating + PVP/Heroic/Flashpoint task, but not if it requires the expansion stories to be completed first. Holiday plans make doing that impossible for me, so if that's required to even access the iRating + weeklies task, I can't really participate much and would rather know that in advance.

I've been trying to do the 7 weekly GS objectives/missions as a completely solo player (ignoring anything that involves grouping of any kind including GSF/PvP) and IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE. I got to 5/7. As we all thought previously, we'll be forced into doing group stuff making the game (and GS) a miserable chore rather than fun entertainment. Devs, please add more ACTUALLY SOLOABLE weeklies to the GS objectives/missions please - increase the weeklies from 10 to 12 so this can be accomplished. If not you'll be seeing this post as my signature until it happens In addition, if you really want new players to do GS, try adding more weeklies to the GS objectives that they can actually access (e.g. Chapters can't be accessed until that content is unlocked and the correct level reached but "Asylum" was an option for my levelling test character as soon as GS became accessible).

 

And: can Underworld Syndicate Plans just go straight into our currency tab OR our inventory (stacked) when earned? Having to collect them from the mail all the time got old and tedious very quickly.

how do you even find the weekly missions? cant find them anywhere.

 

Also Jackie, do we have to be lvl 80 to finish those weeklies or is it any lvl?

It's in the activity finder (the top left clicky on the mini map).

Have only run through the smuggler option and am very confused as t how all this will work. Your a smuggler with secondary skills as an operative. Or its your an operative with smugger. It will be interesting to figure the new dynamics our of the class operation. Wish there was more to go off of. Kind of running into this blind but that is my way of learning. should be a fun run but will report any hick ups along the way. Just hope we are allow the time to find them all before it goes live. Thanks for reading.

[Townowi]

Do we need to complete KotFE Ch16, KotET Ch9 on the same character as we did Acts 1-2-3, RotHC and SoR? Or we can do the story up to SoR on one character and KotFE, KotET as well as Jedi under Siege and Onslaught on a different character?

For the pvp weekly can we finish it on a different character that is not level 80?

I posted this earlier in one of the GS feedback threads - contains a picture of where to find them:

You're not a fool! If you'd seen gen chat just now you'd be in good company!

 

There is a new "menu" for the Galactic Seasons Objectives and it takes subtle to a new level. It just took several of us in General Chat to work out how to find it. It doesn't even look like a clickable menu item. Might be an idea to change this because it's all but invisible (unless there's going to be new achievement called "work out how stuff works & where stuff is in 7.0" ).

Picture in case others can't find it:

Story and combat style are being separated. So if you chose the Smuggler story you are a smuggler no matter what your combat style is. However, you do not have to use 1 of the smuggler's combat styles, as you can choose a different tech style (max of 2 styles for subs). You will not be mixing and matching the 2 styles nor will you be mixing the old smuggler abilities with the new style

[Merkalto]

I only have one thing to say which is that the rewards have definitely improved, and I'm happy that all levels will have a reward! As much as I like turning in Underworld Info cards for Reputation, it feels like an unnecessary step when the Reputation items could just be mailed directly to the player and/or have the rep items dropped instead of the Underworld info items. I'm interested to see what item we can get via the new Rep track, however, if there was a vendor for them I could not find it.

 

Otherwise, it looks to be in a good spot!

 

EDIT: Ignore me! This was supposed to go in the feedback thread!
