Dev Post JackieKo Posted October 18, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hi all! Thanks to everyone who watched the stream today! I'll be making posts in the PTS sub-forums when we are ready to open up PTS. I also did see feedback regarding the jetpack codes, and we'll be brainstorming ideas on different ways to distribute fun promos during the next stream. Speaking of codes, don't forget to redeem code LotSVizla on this page to redeem a Shae Vizla poster Stronghold deco! If you have not gotten the Heta Kol poster, this code will also allow you to obtain that deco as well! Lastly, the recap article will be going up either later today or tomorrow. Again, thanks for joining us and we'll see you on the PTS! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiranea Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Question about the announced GTN changes: there was mention of the deposit becoming a fee... does that mean it will no longer be refunded if the item doesn't sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceDefender Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I assume no new Stronghold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Stroganoff_ Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There was no mention of what (if anything) will be done with HM R-4 Hazardous gear (from blue tokens.) Will this gear just stay as is or will there be an option to convert it to Rakata gear as well? Similar to Virulent gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chryptyk Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 @JackieKo Don't suppose we might hear something about these issues: Dead bug Infinite load screens Skip point to 7? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazulfi Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I thought it was good. More positive and forward-looking than I expected. Can't help feeling they need to kick up the frequency of content releases if those are going to be smaller, but I would say that wouldn't I because I'm a Filthy Casual mmo player. Would love to see that Road Map! I LOVED the stuff about cutscene lighting - will make such a difference for the class stories - and I LOVED the new dye packs. Looked amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendaric Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 The livestream was ok, it had very little I didn't expect though. I'm looking forward to the story and returning to Ord Mantell and seeing how Lane progresses with the basilisk droids. Can't say I'm overly thrilled about yet another gear level increase and quite frankly, none of the new cartel items interest me. I hope 7.4 is somewhat close to 7.2 and 7.3 when it comes to content. SWTOR can hardly afford another 7.0 debacle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varietasplus Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I like the class balance changes and the additional PVP content part ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will most definitely be class balance changes in 7.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post JackieKo Posted October 19, 2023 Author Dev Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hi all, I linked the recap of the stream in the OP. But just so this gets picked up on the dev tracker, here's the recap article! I'm also consolidating some of the questions I'm seeing across various platforms. Will try to post a follow up soon! 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Please, let us get this HK-24 unit as companion instead of Basilisk Droid. The only interesting thing in that whole 7.4 story. I will take every chance to weaken mandalorians and benefit it for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the info Jackie. Also, any update on a APAC AWS server? I ask because the ping spikes on US servers is much worse since you migrated to AWS, making it very difficult to PvP or do harder content. And sadly WTFast doesn’t seem to work with AWS 😞 Lastly, is there any hope you guys will reduce Warzone premade group sizes back to 4 man limit? Have you even discussed this internally as it is a problem that needs addressing or you’ll lose what remaining pvpers you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felinous Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 For sure get a stable code that isn't a once over code next time! A bunch of players felt ripped off by the Jetpack code during the stream some even leaving after we found out it was a once over code. Chat bots redeemed them all in like 2 seconds of dropping. Obviously that small bit did not leave a good impression to many people. Not to mention them going into the whole dye and new armor sets afterwards felt more like a marketing tactic than real content. Also, who keeps dropping these no jetpack Mandalorian armor sets! 😬 Anyways, just my feedback on the stream and I am sure a few others feel the same way.

Kazuone Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) @JackieKo Hello. Once again, same bug when I click on the link (worked by opening on a new inprivate tab with edge). Could you transfert the info to the related team please ? thx Edited October 20, 2023 by Kazuone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just so this gets picked up on the dev tracker, here's the recap article! Thanks for posting the recap , @JackieKo , as well as for uploading it into the official SWTOR YouTube page. While i was very grateful to see one of my submitted images for ORICON made it into the 'finalist' round of Best View in SWTOR contest this year ( 2:25 mark of that last embedded sub-video --> https://www.swtor.com/info/news/article/20231019 ) and very pleased to see the new 'specularity' dye possibilities, i'm also extremely disappointed there wasn't any mention at all about GSF development in the Livestream. None. Please @EricMusco & @KeithKanneg , could u guys explain why? Why no joystick support? Why no unlockable space maps for guild training? Why no explorable space zones for resource mining & contraband smuggling? Why no PVE space quests? etc. etc. etc. --- Is EA really gatekeeping SWTOR still because of perceived 'SW:Squadrons' conflict?!? *If it's a lack of code familiarity from current downsized Dev staff , just tell us and at least we could understand that. Otherwise, it's a complete waste of SPACE and truly baffling to me & many others as to why the 'STAR' in Star Wars is so utterly neglected here after all these years. ( heck, i'd even settle for this type of new GSF content being some Cartel Market money purcha$e, if that's what it would take to get it done. ) Edited October 20, 2023 by Nee-Elder 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingola Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I would love to get a Basilisk War Droid and HK-24 as a companion!🤠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpenedstick Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'd much rather have HK-24 as a decoration. Don't need a third HK companion (or a 107th companion), but an HK deco that isn't a hologram would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the update live stream said "Virulent" gear from r4 can be upgraded to 344 at the vendor. However what about the blue Hazardous gear that is 340. Will that be available to convert as well?
