  • The five new Uprisings introduced with Game Update 5.1 are currently not available through Group Finder. In order to participate in these Uprisings, gather a group, accepted the Uprising Mission from the Combat section of either fleet, and travel to the Uprising when prompted. Affected Uprisings:
    • Trench Runner
    • Destroyer of Worlds
    • Divided We Fall
    • Landing Party
    • Trial and Error
  • Players who acquired Shae Vizla prior the Game Update 5.1 have had her weapon and customization unequipped. The equipment can be found in the player's inventory.

On Thursday, I expect a listing of the group content you are developing, along with dates when it will be released. Anything else, and all the statements from November/December were lies and we once again know not to trust anything you say.
Just to set some expectations... We do have a renewed focus on MMO and group content but this in no way means that we will only deliver that content and nothing else. Different content is not mutually exclusive, in fact it is often in support of each other (Oricon/Dreadmasters, as an example).

We are still BioWare, story and companions will remain a cornerstone of SWTOR.

I understand the sentiment, that is why my aim is to specific as possible (no soon). We would like to do more story and it is our goal to bring old Companions back whenever possible. We will be talking about these very things on Thursday's stream (along with the other previously mentioned topics).

However with Master Ranos telliing the SW that DS Jaesa was insane and any relationship was probably over it hinted that she would not be coming back. Was this a misreading of the information?
It is a great question, but one that I don't have any specific answers to share. I can only reiterate our goal is to bring back Companions in a meaningful way. Where, when, how, and if we hit that goal is something we will share specifics on as we have them.

2. No new content until Dec 2017? That means no new story content.. nothing until almost a year from now?

3. Companions: I assume any "class story" companion that hasn't appeared isn't coming back. Ok fine (not really fine. Not happy about that.. but ok). But what about the current companions? Right now, the interaction is minimal at best. Not even close to what the class stories had. So no new scenes or options with our current RI or companions? In other words, my ship will still be empty?
I thought I might take a stab at adding clarity to some of your questions.

1 - I made a few posts on it last week, this is the main one. Here is the short version. Starting in 5.1 you can get Unassembled Pieces from Ops which you can turn in for gear. Playing PvP will give you Unassembled Components which you can turn in for an Unassembled piece to turn in for gear. Gear turn-ins require Command Tokens which are a Legacy-wide currency you get from Command Crates.

2 - We definitely never said that. Although it is true that we are refocusing in on group and MMO content, that doesn't mean there is no more story coming.

3 - Actually quite the opposite is true. Charles himself has said that his personal goal is to ensure that all original Companions come back in a meaningful way. The question is just when/how.

As an added note, I would recommend tuning into our stream this Thursday as we will be talking about some of these exact topics .

Hey folks,

As explained in our Galactic Command Thread, Unassembled Gear Pieces are a way for players to work towards getting a specific gear slot and tier. Below you will find a list of each Operation boss that has a guaranteed drop of the pieces, and which one they drop. Note that only the last boss of each Operation is guaranteed, but every other boss has a chance to drop any slot. Each of these bosses will drop two pieces in 8-man and four pieces in 16-man.

Here are the drops for Tier 1 and Tier 2 gear which come from Story and Veteran difficulty respectively:
  • Implant/Earpiece: Eternity Vault Soa (The Infernal One)
  • Relic: Karaggas Palace Karagga the Unyielding
  • Chest: Explosive Conflict Warlord Kephess
  • Legs: Terror From Beyond The Terror From Beyond
  • Hands: Scum and Villainy Dread Master Styrak
  • Boots: The Dread Fortress Dread Master Brontes
  • Head: The Dread Palace The Dread Masters
  • Off-hand: The Ravagers Ruugar
  • Mainhand: Temple of Sacrifice Revan
  • Bracer: Makeb The Golden Fury (and Eyeless from the Rakghoul event)
  • Belt: Ziost Worldbreaker Monolith (and Xenoanalyst from the Gree event)

Here are the drops for Tier 3 which come from Master difficulty unless otherwise noted:
  • Relic and Implant: Explosive Conflict Warlord Kephess
  • Legs and Earpiece: Terror From Beyond The Terror From Beyond
  • Hands and Chest: Scum and Villainy Dread Master Styrak
  • Boots and off-hand: The Dread Fortress Dread Master Brontes
  • Head and mainhand: The Dread Palace The Dread Masters
  • Implant (chance to drop in Veteran mode): The Ravagers Ruugar
  • Relic (chance to drop in Veteran mode): Temple of Sacrifice Revan
  • Bracer (chance to drop in Veteran mode):: Makeb The Golden Fury and Eyeless from the Rakghoul event
  • Belt (chance to drop in Veteran mode):: Ziost Worldbreaker Monolith and Xenoanalyst from the Gree event

Let me know if you have any questions or anything is unclear. Thanks everyone!

Hey folks,

As we talked about in the Galactic Command Thread, Unassembled Components are a way for PvP players to work towards a specific piece of gear. First we will talk about how many Components you get from playing PvP and then I will show you the costs of each item from the vendor.

This list is how many Unassembled Components you get based on the content you play:
  • 5 - Warzone Win
  • 2 - Warzone Loss
  • 3 - Arena Win
  • 1 - Arena Loss
  • 5 - Solo Ranked Win
  • 2 - Solo Ranked Loss
  • 8 - Group Ranked Win
  • 3 - Group Ranked Loss
  • 8 - GSF Win
  • 3 - GSF Loss

Now lets talk about item costs from the vendor. The following costs are to purchase Tier 1 Unassembled Gear Pieces:
  • Chest - 100
  • Legs - 100
  • Head - 100
  • Hands - 100
  • Feet - 100
  • Waist - 75
  • Wrist - 75
  • Implant - 80
  • Earpiece - 80
  • Relic - 80
  • Mainhand - 120
  • Off-hand - 120

Keep in mind that Tier 1 is the only Tier that you can directly purchase. In order to get a Tier 2 or 3 Unassembled piece, you will need to turn in the previous Tier armor piece along with X amount of Unassembled Components (listed below). As an example if you wanted to get the Tier 2 Unassembled Chest Piece, you would need to go to the vendor with a Tier 1 chest piece and 150 Unassembled Components. This will then give you a Tier 2 Unassembled Chest Piece which you can turn in. Here are the Tier 2 and 3 costs:
  • Chest 150/225
  • Legs 150/225
  • Head 150/225
  • Hands 150/225
  • Feet 150/225
  • Waist 115/175
  • Wrist 115/175
  • Implant 120/180
  • Earpiece 120/180
  • Relic 120/180
  • Mainhand 180/270
  • Off-hand 180/270

Let me know if you have any questions or anything is unclear. Thanks everyone.

Hey folks,

As we talked about in the Galactic Command Thread, Game Update 5.1 will introduce methods for you to work towards getting specific pieces of Tier gear. A big part of that will be from Unassembled Gear Pieces. Those Pieces can drop from Operations bosses or purchased from the new PvP vendor for Unassembled Components. Once you have the piece, you will need to bring it to a new vendor on the fleet where you can purchase that specific piece of gear. As an example, if you have a Tier 1 Unassembled Head Piece you will be able to come to the vendor and purchase any Tier 1 head piece of your choice. Each Unassembled Piece also has a Command Token cost to purchase them, lets break those down. The costs will be listed by slot and then the Command Token cost by Tier (Tier 1/Tier 2/ Tier 3). Here they are:
  • Chest 10/15/24
  • Legs -10/15/24
  • Head -10/15/24
  • Hands -10/15/24
  • Feet -10/15/24
  • Waist 7/10/15
  • Wrist - 7/10/15
  • Implant - 8/12/18
  • Earpiece 8/12/18
  • Relic 8/12/18
  • Mainhand 12/18/28
  • Off-hand 12/18/28

As a reminder, you earn Command Tokens in each Command Crate that you open. You earn them at the following rate per crate:
  • Tier 1 5
  • Tier 2 8
  • Tier 3 12

Lastly, there are new Command XP Boosts that you can buy for Command Tokens. These boosts only work while a character is in a specified Tier. They provide a 15% boost which stacks with the new legacy perk but not the MTX boost. Here are their costs:
  • Tier 1 20
  • Tier 2 28
  • Tier 3 44

Let me know if you have any questions or anything is unclear. Thanks everyone.

There will be compensation for players who have gone above 300 crates.

Galactic Command Gearing Changes, 5.1 and Beyond

Hey folks,

Since the launch of Knights of the Eternal Throne, we have received a lot of great feedback about the gearing changes we made through Galactic Command. In this post, I want to highlight the changes we are making next week. However, we know this will not address all of your concerns, so lets also talk about additional changes we plan to make.

Our primary goal for Game Update 5.1 - Defend the Throne was to allow players to work towards specific pieces of gear through PvP and Operations. Additionally, we wanted to provide a means to help players gear their other characters. Here are the changes coming next week:
  • New currency, Command Tokens: This currency comes from Command Crates. Each Crate will drop Command Tokens based on the Tier of the Crate (Tier 1 5 tokens, Tier 2 8 tokens, Tier 3 12 tokens). These tokens are a Legacy-wide currency and will be retroactively granted (based on your Command Rank) when 5.1 launches.
  • New currency: Unassembled Components This currency is a reward for playing Warzones and Galactic Starfighter and can be used to purchase Unassembled Gear Pieces.
  • New currency, Unassembled Gear Piece: These drop from Operation bosses or are purchased with Unassembled Components and can be turned in along with Command Tokens for specific pieces of gear. The last boss of each Operation has a 100% chance to drop Unassembled Gear Pieces (2 pieces for 8-man, 4 pieces for 16-man). Each other boss in an Operation has an increasing chance to drop them (the second boss having a higher chance than the first boss, and so on). Refer to this forum post to see where each item slot will drop.

With these new currencies, players will be able to go to new vendors and purchase specific items. Here are some of the vendor details:
  • Unassembled Component Vendor: On this vendor you can turn in Unassembled Components to purchase a specific Unassembled Gear Piece. You can only purchase Tier 1 Unassembled Pieces in this way. However, you can turn in Tier 1 pieces along with Unassembled Components to upgrade them to Tier 2 and 3 respectively. Refer to this forum post for more details on this vendor.
  • Unassembled Gear Piece Vendor: With this vendor you can turn in one Unassembled Gear Piece for a specific slot (ex: Unassembled Helm Tier 1) along with Command Tokens for that respective piece of gear. Refer to this forum post for more details on this vendor.

The changes listed above are really focused in on allowing players to work towards a specific piece of gear. However, we also wanted to allow players to level their alts a bit quicker and so here are some of the changes coming for that:
  • New Character Legacy Perk: Increase all Command XP Earned by 2/4/6/8/10%.
  • New Command XP Boost: This can be purchased with Command Tokens and provides a 15% boost (this boost stacks with the Legacy perk but not the MTX boost). This boost only works per Tier at the following costs:
    • Tier 1 20 Command Tokens
    • Tier 2 28 Command Tokens
    • Tier 3 44 Command Tokens

The above changes are coming next week with Game Update 5.1! Additional concerns you have raised are listed below:

Operations Lacking for CXP
We have been looking at all of the places that players can earn CXP and although our intent is that Operations (especially Veteran/Master) would be the best source of CXP, that is not true currently. We have been working to rebalance the CXP gains of Operations across the board so that they are at least on-par with the best sources of CXP in the game. We plan to include these changes with Patch 5.1.1, but we will give you more information on scheduling once we lock it down.

Galactic Command Gearing Alt-unfriendly
One of the biggest concerns expressed is Galactic Command forces a player into working only on one character. Although that wasnt our intention, we agree with you. For starters, in 5.1 we are implementing the Legacy-wide currency of Command Tokens, legacy bound boosts you can purchase with Command Tokens, and the legacy perk to speed up leveling. We know that isnt enough, so we are exploring additional options so that when you are playing any character, there is a way to potentially provide benefit to all other characters in your legacy as well. I have no specifics to share at this time, but I am working to have more details available for our January 26th Livestream.

Command Rank Leveling Speed
We monitor Command Ranks across the game, along with player feedback on the rate at which players are leveling. The Legacy perk and additional boost will help speed up leveling, but we will continue to review. Lets see how it feels after 5.1. Well discuss with you and make further adjustments, if needed.

New Endgame Content
We know addressing the gearing concerns is only half of the equation. Whether it came from the forums, social media, or even focus groups, the feedback is that you want more large group and MMO content such as daily areas and Operations. We will be discussing these very topics in our Livestream next Thursday, January 26, 2017, so come join us!

We want to thank all of your for your continued feedback about Galactic Command. Please keep it coming!

-eric

PS - I will be making a few posts later today or Monday which contain a more detailed breakdown of how much currency you will earn, how much things cost, and where to get specific drops from Operations.
