Dev Post JackieKo Posted February 9, 2023 Dev Post Share Posted February 9, 2023 Hello everyone, Specific content from Game Update 7.2.1 will be available on the Public Test Server soon! Please read through the announcement blog to familiarize yourselves with everything coming with this update. For PTS, we are focusing tests on the following: Functionality with 64-bit PvP Medals in the Alderaan Warzone map + matchmaking adjustments Credit costs to combat inflation Please note that Galactic Season 4 and PvP Seasons 2 will be locked content and not available for testing. I encourage you to read the linked posts associated with the PvP Medals and credit cost points above, so you have a full understanding of the finer details behind these changes. We want to ensure that players are equipped with proper knowledge and context before hopping onto the PTS. **Players should expect to see a large download size for this PTS patch. What we would like players to test 64-bit 7.2.1 will be the update that contains the 64-bit client. We have received a lot of good feedback and very helpful reports since we opened testing back in December. We ask that players continue to help us test the game in 64-bit to ensure a smooth launch, especially if they were running into issues previously. Please continue to leave your feedback here. PvP Medals Updates on how Medals are earned were made to the Alderaan Warzone map, so this will be the only map that you see pop while PTS is open. Specifics on these changes can be found here. Other changes that have been made: Matchmaking has been adjusted to make it more likely that large groups are matched up against each other. Lockout timers have been updated: Leaving 1 match = 5 minute lockdown (down from 20 minutes) Leaving 2 matches = 15 minute lockdown (down from 1 hour) Leaving 3 matches = 1 hour lockdown (down from 6 hours) Feedback on these changes can be submitted here. Special note! We’ll be hopping onto the PTS to help test out the new PvP changes tomorrow, February 10th, around 1:30pm CT! So we will see you in game! Credit Economy adjustments The following changes have been made for players to test while PTS is open: Quick Travel now has a credit cost associated, with a minimum cost of 100 credits and a maximum cost of 5000. The cost to travel is dependent on the distance traveled. Priority Transport Terminal now costs the original planet travel costs to transfer between daily areas. Travel to Strongholds now costs the original planet travel costs to transfer between planets. Repair cost formulas have been adjusted across the entirety of the game so that repair costs increase in relation to item level. Durability of equipment should now be lost at a LOWER rate on death, but a slightly HIGHER rate in normal gameplay. Specifics on these changes can be found here. Feedback on these changes can be submitted here. During this phase of PTS, we will be granting an Opal Vulptilla Mount to players who complete the following tasks: Log onto the PTS Complete a Warzone match This reward will be distributed with the launch of Game Update 7.2.1. We look forward to seeing you all on the PTS! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
