Loot Acquisition Feedback | 09.03.2019, 11:32 AM
Hey folks,

We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to give us your impressions of Phase 2. I have passed all of your feedback (from this thread, PTS forums, and elsewhere) onto the team and we are working on a number of changes. I will circle back by tomorrow and talk about what we are hearing from you and what changes we plan to make. Our goal will be to have a new patch for phase 2 by the end of this week.

Thanks everyone, keep the feedback coming!

Crafting Feedback | 08.30.2019, 01:02 PM
Hey folks,

As a quick note, if you want to test harvesting, please do so on Ossus. That is where Grade 11 harvesting is implemented. I will get this added to the OP as well.

Loot Acquisition Feedback | 08.30.2019, 08:22 AM
Hey folks,

Just a quick reminder. Loot acquisition is not fully implemented in all content, in fact it is only implemented into a small selection of content (to focus where everyone is playing.). I am spinning up specific threads for that feedback, if you are playing in an area that is not listed here, loot drops are not implemented.

Fully Implemented Loot Drops
Hammer Station (any difficulty)
Karagga's Palace (any difficulty)
Renown Crates
Conquest Reward

Initial Implementation
Warzones

I will get this information into the original post as well. Sorry for any confusion (I realize we mentioned this on the stream but not in the forums here.)

Karagga's Palace Loot Acquisition Feedback | 08.30.2019, 08:18 AM
Hey folks,

Phase 2 is all about getting loot, whether that is from drops in content, purchased from vendors, or crafted. We want your thoughts! One of the few places where loot drops are fully implemented is Karagga's Palace. If you are an Ops player looking to understand loot acquisition, please run Karagga's Palace in any difficulty.
  • Did you feel you were getting upgrades fast enough? Too slowly?
  • Were you getting items you expected to get?
Make sure to be specific in your feedback. Thanks!

Hammer Station Loot Feedback | 08.30.2019, 08:18 AM
Hey folks,

Phase 2 is all about getting loot, whether that is from drops in content, purchased from vendors, or crafted. We want your thoughts! One of the few places where loot drops are fully implemented is Hammer Station. If you are a Flashpoint player looking to understand loot acquisition, please run Hammer Station in any difficulty.
  • Did you feel you were getting upgrades fast enough? Too slowly?
  • Were you getting items you expected to get?
Make sure to be specific in your feedback. Thanks!

Warzone Loot Feedback | 08.30.2019, 08:18 AM
Hey folks,

Phase 2 is all about getting loot, whether that is from drops in content, purchased from vendors, or crafted. We want your thoughts! Warzone loot drops only currently have an initial implementation so it is not neccessarily fully representative of the acquisition loop. If you want to see that, please run Karagga's Palace or Hammer Station. That being said, it does have an initial implementation so do share your thoughts up to this point!
  • Did you feel you were getting upgrades fast enough? Too slowly?
  • Were you getting items you expected to get?
Make sure to be specific in your feedback. Thanks!

Odessen vendor not giving gearset pubside (tried 2 characters) | 08.29.2019, 02:33 PM

It does seem like it is failing to give gear most of the time. Pubside this isn't an option but for Imperial players, you can try using one of the starter planet terminals instead as they seem to be working more consistently in giving gear.

As a note, the content we recommend you test is Story / Veteran and so you will be bolstered regardless. Just make sure you have some gear equipped.

We will work on fixing the terminals in a future patch.

Republic Classes Available on PTS | 08.29.2019, 01:37 PM
Hey folks,

Just a quick heads up for you that all Republic Classes are also now playable on PTS. The one exception is Trooper, that is not fully implemented yet, but should be coming in during Phase 2.

Thanks!

Onderon Daily Mission Feedback | 08.29.2019, 10:28 AM
Hey folks,

Onderon's daily missions are now available for testing! In order to access Onderon, talk to the travel droid at the Odessen base camp (right near the boost terminal). Let us know your thoughts and be sure to include:
  • The name / location of the Mission.
  • Your faction / Class.
  • Is the Mission clear on what is required of you?
  • Is the Mission too easy or difficult?
Thanks!

Renown Feedback | 08.29.2019, 10:26 AM
Hey folks,

Renown is now available for testing on PTS. A few reminders about Renwon:
  • Renown is the replacement of Galactic Command, it does work a little differently.
  • The leveling curve of Renown is completely flat. Getting from level 1-2 is the same XP as going from 500-501.
  • Every crate has effectively the same value since it is giving you loot based on what your character is wearing. There are no "tiers" for ranks anymore.
  • Unlike GC, Renown is a supplementary system. It is not meant to be a primary source of gear.

With that in mind, let us know your thoughts!

Loot Acquisition Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

This is the main feedback thread for all things loot acquisition in Phase 2! Phase 2 is really about getting loot, whether that is from drops in content, purchased from vendors, or crafted. We want your thoughts!
  • Does acquiring gear feel too fast? Too slow?
  • Do you understand what to do to get gear?
  • How do you feel about the primary sources of getting gear? (playing content and Missions)
  • How do you feel about the contribution of the supplementary systems? (vendors, crafting, Renown)
Remember that for gear acquisition we want you to focus on Hammer Station or Karagga's Palace on any difficulty.

Tech Fragment Vendor Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

Aside from the Kai Zykken vendor, there is also another vendor where you can spend tech fragments which is located in the supplies section of the fleet. This vendor will allow you to roll items for a specific slot. Let us know your thoughts:
  • Do you understand what you are getting when you roll on an item?
  • How do you feel about the pricing of items?
  • Do you feel like rolling on these item slots is valuable?
Thanks

Kai Zykken Merchant Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

The elusive Kai Zykken sets up shop in the supplies section of each fleet to sell an ever-changing inventory of specific items. For the context of testing some things to understand about how he works. He is only available from Friday - Monday. This is how it is planned to work on live and so it is currently this way on PTS as well. Each week his inventory will change so if you don't see an item that you want, check back the next week!
  • How does the pricing feel on the items (tech fragments and credits)?
  • Do you feel like he has an adequate variety of items?
  • Anything else to add?

Thanks all!

Dxun Story Mode Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

Story mode Dxun is available for testing! In order to access Dxun you simply need to gather seven friends and go through the skybridge located on Odessen. Some things to keep in mind when providing feedback:
  1. Is an encounter too easy or too difficult?
  2. Are the mechanics of the encounters clear?
  3. Anything else you want to add on the environment, trash, etc?
When providing feedback be sure to provide details such as which encounter you are talking about, your relative gear level, etc.

-eric

PS - Technically, Veteran Dxun is also on PTS but since we are not providing gear at this time we are not requesting feedback yet.

Amplifier Acquisition Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

The purpose of this thread is to provide feedback specifically on the acquisition of amplifiers. Keep in mind this thread is not to share thoughts on the effectiveness of amplifiers, that will be covered in a later phase of PTS. In fact, most amplifiers either do not function, or do something different than what is listed. Also, note that not all amplifiers are implemented yet, so expect to see some additional amp effects in a later PTS build. Refer to the known issues list for specifics. Here are some things to keep in mind when providing feedback:
  • Were you able to easily understand what amplifiers you have and what they do? (from the UI only)
  • Do you understand how to reroll/change an amplifier?
  • Does the cost for changing amplifiers feel right? Too high or too low?
Thanks all!

Crafting Feedback | 08.29.2019, 08:59 AM
Hey folks,

Crafting is now available for testing on PTS! A few caveats before you jump in. Similar to the rest of Phase 2, this phase is about acquisition and not the hands on testing of the actual gear. For crafting, what this means is that you can absolutely test acquiring materials, harvesting, and the crafting of items. However, in a lot of cases when you craft that new item, either nothing will happen or you may get a placeholder item. Ultimately we want you to test out how it feels acquiring materials and schematics, and crafting. Don't focus just yet on the results of the crafting. The best way to test crafting is to ensure you have a character with professions that you character copy. The boost terminal on Odessen will move their crew skills up to 600, then you can go to the fleet trainers to purchase the ability to go to 700.

Here are some things you should try to answer in your feedback.
  • Do you feel like the time investment for harvesting is worth it? (please check harvesting only on Ossus for Grade 11)
  • Do you feel the time and cost for crew skill missions are worth it?
  • As a crafter, do you feel like you have a place in Spoils of War?
  • How do you feel about deconstruction and its contribution to crafting?
  • Do you feel the inflow of Jawa Junk from deconstruction helps to supplement harvesting and missions? (reminder: Jawa junk is not meant to be a primary source of materials by itself).
  • How do you feel about the new materials window?
For any feedback please be specific on what professions, mission, or resource you are talking about.
