You should be good now. Seems there was a network outage into a key EA Data Center that caused a variety of server issues. From what I can tell, there were sporadic issues for about two hours.

Sorry this caused any inconvenience, but glad everything is good again.

#2 Tank Shielding Changes Coming in 5.9.2

Hey folks,

Quick heads up, this change will not be happening for 5.9.2. It is still something we would like to do in a future update (likely 5.9.3) but there are some critical bugs we discovered which prevent it from being introduced in this patch.

I will pass on more info as I have it, thanks everyone.

Rishi Arena isn't loading for me

The team is aware of the area loading issue right now on Darth Malgus. It is affecting a few different areas. We are going to do some back-end stuff to fix it shortly. When that happens, some players on Darth Malgus may get dropped back to character or server select. Simply log back in, and the issues should then be resolved. This will happen in the next 30 minutes or so.

We will continue to monitor! Thanks.

#2 PTS Feedback - Additional Stronghold Functionality

Even though it is unchecked by default, your stronghold is still set to PvP. You have to click it on and then off again for PvP to be disabled.

Also, it is not remembering your setting when you log off. Every time you log in, you have to check PvP on and then off again for your stronghold to not allow PvP.
This is an issue that will appear only on PTS for anyone who owned the Rishi Stronghold prior to today's PTS patch. This won't happen on live. You simply have to toggle it on and off a couple of times and it will function properly.

Hey folks,

A new 3-bedroom apartment has been added to the Rishi Cove Stronghold. You access it by unlocking the new secret cave room, and heading up the elevator. Please use this thread to post your feedback!

Hey folks,

There are 3 specific new pieces of functionality we would like to ensure that you test and provide feedback on:
  • Decorations blocking line of sight.
  • Terminal usage being dictated by keys.
  • The ability to toggle PvP off in the Stronghold.
    • Note: The intended functionality here is that you toggle PvP on/off either while you are outside the Stronghold completely or at least outside of the PvP area.
Let us know your thoughts!

new CONQUEST bug/exploit ? or working-as-intended ?

Hey folks,

This issue isn't a bug, but we definitely agree something needs to be adjusted to stop that behavior. Our current plan is that in 5.9.2 we will move the commit timing forward by 24 hours to see if this helps address the issue. We will look at more control methods in the future if needed.

Great question! Sorry to say it, but we'll still need the week. We'll use the time to shake out any remaining issues, make any critical adjustments, rebuild the update, test it again, then get it ready for release.

Hey folks,

Here we are again, round 2 of final changes . In all seriousness, thank you all for your continued feedback! You should expect that the next PTS build will go live either tomorrow or Saturday.

General
  • All items that require a Cartel Market Reputation should now properly check that requirement against the players Underworld Exchange Reputation (for real this time).

Arena
  • Players can no longer use traversal abilities, such as Force Leap, to approach characters who are flying through the air due to using a jump pad.

Rishi Stronghold
  • Decorations should now properly block line of sight.
  • The secret cave has been transformed into a room that can be unlocked. This new room unlock leads to a 3 bedroom apartment.
  • A new options button has been added to the Stronghold UI.
  • A toggle has been added to turn off PvP in the Rishi Stronghold. This can be found under the options menu in your Stronghold UI.
  • When using the spectator droid, you can no longer use the nearby speeder.
  • Players using the spectator droid will no longer be impacted by AoE abilities.
  • The Bolster terminal will now glow blue to show that it is interactable.
  • Only Stronghold visitors who have keys can interact with terminals in the Rishi Stronghold.
  • Addressed some hooks being unusable.
  • Added additional hooks around the Stronghold
  • The new wall/cover decorations now work on a wider variety of hook types.
The one item from our "wish list" which you will notice is still missing is the ability to sort Strongholds. This is something the team still has interest in doing. There is a small chance we can get it in still for 5.9.2, but it is more likely to be in 5.9.3.

This sorting will work alphabetically, by default. However, once you start traveling to your Strongholds, the list will then work similar to character select and will sort in order of most recently visited.

Once PTS is up I will create a new feedback thread for PvP in the Stronghold (LoS and toggle) and one for the new "apartment" area. Thanks everyone, we'll see you on PTS.
