STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ News

Character Modernization updates and Master Mode for Relentless Replication will be released on the Public Test Server (PTS) beginning today! Below are details and a rough timeline when to expect specific content to be available on the PTS.

Character Modernization

Updates to our Character Modernization initiative are now available on the PTS! The two main focuses for this iteration are the smoothing textures on character faces and improving the neckline seam textures.

More details can be found on the PTS sub-forums here.

Relentless Replication Master Mode

(The Propagator Core XR-53 boss)

The hardest difficulty for the Propagator Core XR-53 Operation Boss is intended to be available on the PTS in early April. As with previous testing, we will be using the PTS Forums to communicate questions and changes as player feedback rolls in.

We will communicate the exact day and time when this content will roll out on the test server on our social channels and Dev Tracker.

The timelines stated above are subject to change.
