PTS Round #1 Everything cute and fits well in the layout PTS Round #2 A blue-bordered box was added to the background but it is not lined up well and if you can not see it i made a dashed line where it is

Feedback: The change to the text and instructions of the objectives is great thanks. It is much clearer.

Feedback PTS #2 0) https://swtorista.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/GNMA-2Xb0AACse_-1024x717.jpg LOVE THE NEW SCREEN VERY CLEAR! I wonder what it looks like on a non eligible character, cus my level 1 on hutta was eligible lol. 1) Um... are the repaair boxes supposed to escape out of their box. And the Defensive Prace on the right looks like it got unaligned too and the Repair Defense Module is on the line making it hard to read. 2) After I accept {Burc'ya Vaal Burk'yc} and speak to lane via holocom, I click the green "Lane's Lab" button and it does nothing. Sad lol. I was excited for it as I get lost easily in the short tunnels of Ruhnuk. No error message given, no indication other than the "depress" state of the button after clicking. 3) Thanks for making it a purple main quest! 4) I STILL HAVE DOUBLE BESSIES LOL (first cutscene with lane in lab speaking to bessie also double i guess this is maybe related to bessie's state from some of my other characters have done or partially done the bessie quests? 5) [Data Cache] the currency is listed as Binds on Pickup. But from PTS Testing Round #1 it seems to actually be Binds to Leegacy, increasing the count on one character adds to the count for all characters in the currency tab. I think this still is true for Round #2. The other [Data] currencies seem to be Binds on Pickup as well but actually are binds to legacy-wide. 6) So I've already completed Bessie's intial quest on multiple characters previously and got her to Repair Level 2 of 11. I hopped on a new character to play with her and do the quest, and it asks me to do all the same steps again for {Burc'ya Vaal Burk'yc} - once I "have" Bessie it asks me to do the Ruhnuk 2 daily quests. BUT. When I go to my Ventures, if I want to keep upgrading Bessie, I need to complete "training modules". ON my more advanced character, this sent me to another planet like CZ-198, but on my newer character I'm only sent specifically to Ruhnuk. I felt confused on whether these intial [Support Training Module: Ruhnuk][Defense Training Module: Ruhnuk] modules would count towards "Repair Level 2" or not. EDIT: It did not count, I thought it would. It did contribute towards her "Combat Practice" but not her "Training Modules: Combat". It also only gave me [Combat Systems Data][Prototype Data] x30, though I'm at the point where I need 50 to do upgrades lol. 7) This lore object is still cursed to glow even after you have it. "Crate of Mysterious Tech" I only bring it up because it is very confusing to one of the Ruhnuk dailies which we'll be running plenty. 8 ) Bessie portrait still funky 9) Running around as a DPS with bessie as a DPS is hilarious. She's... very weak. And we die quick together. So I actually have to be careful??? She's endearing for sucking so bad as a companion. 10) TRAINING REMINDER QUEST YAY! 11) At this point I decided to try the "Lane's Lab" green button and it opened the Galaxy Map to Ruhnuk. Lol. I was expecting it to teleport me TO lane. 12) The order of these messages is funny. "Sorry you are decreased to zero, but you get 1" (I got zero) 13) After running 2 ruhnuk dailies on a new character after running it on other characters, and not having enough data to upgrade, I felt confused about where I was in my act of progression. Should I go run 2 more dailies on ruhnuk in another role, or stop wasting my time on this character and go run stuff on my original character instead, even though I wanted to play on this new one and Bessie is meant to be legacy-wide? I now have the "data" currency to afford the items from the astromech, but which ones do i actually need, after clearly not having the right ones last time? I see three Training Modules all with the same name which increases my confusion and doubt that I am doing the correct thing to progress. [The difference is they cost Defense / Support / Combat data currency, but I think they are the same item?] I THINK to progress my Ventures, I need to buy [Combat Training Module]. But I also need the same currency and to save it up to complete my quest to "Begin Repairs", which in Bessie's currenct state, requires 50 (I only have 30). At this point I get frustrated and feel unsure which to do next, so give up for the night. I regret not just sticking to my main character even though it seemed more fun to spread the bessie love around. --------- For tracking, for version #1 of the PTS, here was my "instructions" or step by step of Bessie. And for version #2, thanks for reading the feedbacks and making changes so quick that's cool!!!

Player feedback via twitter: Raansu @RaansuOmiyari "Hopefully its not yet another pop up I have to immediately close and don't have an option to tick a box to say "do not open on login" I did not see a setting to turn it off haha.

The new updates screen is functioning. The description text is very small for my 2560x1440 screen, using what I think is the "Default" user interface setting. When I closed it to try and adjust my settings I couldn't figure out how to re-open or re-see it. It did not pop up on the second character I logged in to (I assume this is intended, good). I guessed it might be under the ! exclamation window on the top right but did not see it there. It seems cool - I often have players ask me about the newest updates as if they are maybe not fully aware of what's going on or what's coming up - but I think they may be more players who are not actually logging in recently or playing. My first impression was "cool!" then my immediate second was "are the developers actually going to manage to keep this updated...?" the launcher has some occasionally issues where it shows old news which causes some major confusion. I love the eligibility column that is a common player question for all new content. The phrasing is good and correct to how players understand instructions for eligibility. The story column at the top might be confusing for players who are not caught up with the story. I know it is PTS so the story is not available but i clicked it and it went to my mission log with older story to complete in it.

I think in the most recent update, 7.5 #2, it looks like something changed with the "Pond Repopulator" object in-game if you happen to be on PTS again. IDK if that was a fix or not though lol.

UPDATE: Yes, my achievements were now available I had access to the ruhnuk dailies when I logged in, so I could progress bessie. FEEDBACK: I feel like the quest is quite clear which I appreciate because the Ventures tab is intimidating DID NOT LIKE: So when I went to start playing with Bessie as Combat I saw that I needed to do 2 Ruhnuk dailies. I wasn't familiar with which ones were "faster" so I just grabbed *all* the Ruhnuk dailies and started wandering around doing them piecemeal. I eventually partially completed many of the quests, and eventually fully completed two and returned to Lane. Then she told me to keep training. Cool. So I went to use the Tank Training Module item, and it was greyed out. It told me the error. It told me something like "not enough missions available". So I guessed that it was maybe because I had picked up all the Ruhnuk missions already. So I had to drop some partially completed ones to be able to switch her to tank. This was 1) frustrating because it was confusing - my natural thought is to pick up all the dailies 2) frustrating because I had to reset progress. I dont think I would have minded if I only picked up 2 to start and never partially-did the other ones (awareness) After I finished Combat I wanted to try Defense. I clicked the defense module in the ventures tab. I see i needed to do "Basilisk Trainer: Defender - Compelte intiial defensive training mission with your basilisk prototype". I felt a bit confused about what this specific task was asking me to do. The more specific instructions were to 1) use the defensive module (and if it is greyed out, drop some ruhnuk missions) and 2) run 2 ruhnuk missions. It didnt even tell me if i would be on ruhuk again or not. I got a bit frustated after those two things and I didn't want to go back and test defense and combat so maybe I'll try again later lol.

I copied over another character who should have access to Ruhnuk and still no luck on the new characte when i try to use the [Support Training Module: Ruhnuk][Combat Training Module: Ruhnuk][Defense Training Module: Ruhnuk] on bessie.

(continued) I left the room and lost bessie and wasnt entirely sure where she went (N on the keyboard to resummon) Eventually I wandered away again, and I wanted to try again, but couldn't remember how to get back to Lane's lab where bessie, who had run out of her timer, was. When I got back Bessie DID have a quest marker! nice! Still no access to daily area even after logging in and out.

Germination Preparation gives no reward? oh, germination mek-sha and nar-shaddaa dont reward anything but credits too Ok I have the egg quests left. Wait. Are these egg quests the ones I actually need to do for Creature Rehabilitation? EGG HUNT SUPER FUN Oh I finished the egg hunt on Rishi and I finally see a marker for Creature Rehabilitation? I wish I had not wasted time trying to figure out what planet it was on earlier. Create Rahab cute quest once I was able to start CLOSING THE FENCE IS THE FUNNIEST THING WITH THE BROKEN ANIMATION during the wrangling step. I am kinda confused on why the quest ends with me shoving my happy little pets into crates and leaving them. My taun fawn creature got out?

(continued) I find dance mission and get credit. Huzzah. [Farmland Medal] says it is for the "SW:TOR Valley Event" in the tooltip. I went to go bake a pie in the green room and it was... very silent? no music or sound. I turned my sound up but there was just a very quiet hum. I go outside and realize I REQUIRE PIE TO EAT. No pie on table. Someone else running around pie table. Maybe they ate the pie. I leave, pieless and sad. I grab olives to make a pie. I go back to pie ingredients room... haha you have to get the right supplies! Too bad I have too many quests tracked for the new events, cant see the list on my questlog. I realise I can be lazy if I mouseover them - they will show the quest. so many ingredients! ... I tried to throw the ingredients in the bowl like the Feast event, it did not go well. I SHARE PIE! I EAT PIE! Oh.. only 1 pie per day? So if we all bake olive pie... we fail. Haha. Oh wait... are these... weeklies? dailies? per events? I'm unclear based on the quest names. I see mission reset in 4 days and can be repeated 1 more time in my quest log but I am unsure if that means an additional time or one and done then reset. How long even is this event? There's another terminal in the north! But it says I am not eligible. Is that the same terminal as before or am I missing something? I do not know. Farm barn super cute Oh! I didnt realise WE were going to be the droid planting on the farm. cute. ISSSUE: Third row of planting, something is wrong, but I'm not sure what. It's not digging the little holes. I tried and tried. I left and came back later and it worked. Thanks for making the water AOE generous! Lack of water sound is strange. No music. The is a relaxing quest. I LIED IT IS NOT RELAXING RED ALERT. "Cultivation" quest only gave me credits as a reward? no lil tokens. is it one time? I am not sure. I wander over to the other green door which looks like a pond. LOL at the grab a drink and put music. Why i the fish game fun? it's dumb. But fun. I RECEIVE FISH BAGS???? I tried to open them from my inventory. No. They are not fish gifts. I like splorsh sound when you return them. I think I've done all the quests here (EXCEPT EAT MORE PIEEEE), though the lingering quest terminal still keeps confusing me. So I see I have quests left, and go to my quest log. Creature Rehabilition: The quest says Blba trees... am I not in Blba grove? It says the owner specified trees... where? do i look for random trees here, or maybe normal dantooine? I explore the grove looking for trees. All I find is a red secret cave door. And some poorly-hidden explosives that are not clickable. And Convenient seed shipment not clickable. And a shed with dirt with a HUMAN SKULL IN IT??? But I find no baby birds. YOU PUT INVISIBE WALLS N FRONT OF THE GRAPES AND SOLAR PANELS Oh but you missed a spot and I go exploring Don't see anything on Normal Dantooine for baby birds, so maybe I go look in the secret nests from the very old quest, like on Alderaan? I waste a bunch of time climbing a mountain looking for orokeet nest. Nope this is not correct. I give up. I go to the fleet to look for shady seed man. If I was a shady seed man where would I be? I would be THIS MAN! But I am incorrect. GTN area? no. Near where I see the new festival assets? no. Kai zykken? no. Cartel bazaar? no darn. WAIT. on my minimap i see a spinny thing. OH. on my main map the spinny thing is under all the vendors. oops. i head to the center of the fleet. Republic side he is not in a wall and I have no problem interacting with him.

Starting Blba Feedback Could not find the story start or news terminal - possibly swoop event terminal is in the way. I do see the cute food/farm/plant stuff on the fleet near the Taral V republic questgiver. I flew to normal Dantooine like an idiot cus I missed the "Blblbiba Grove" travel point since I didn't know it existed. Nothing on normal dantooine to point me the right way. I then flew to Blba Groves on Dantooine. No mission seen in activites. I see maypole glowing and I run to it like a fly to honey. Dancing icons pop up. I boogie down. I am not sure why I am boogieying lol. Uhoh. When I try to move I can not and when I try to use abilties I am "Silenced" in a big red text error. I am scared and confused. I eventually find a white flag to surrender. Is now a good time to stop? Later? If I keep dancing will something happen? Eventually the terror ends on its own. I see mushrooms that glow in barrels and try to click them. I see they have a label but they are not clickable. I realise I should probably pick up some type of quest and look for the quest marker on the map. I find the mission terminal but the floating quest marker only shows up over it when I am closeby so I missed it from the shuttle. I pick up all the quests but there is still a quest marker over the terminal which confuses me a bit, I keep thinking I have missed one.

RE: timer. OH. I only figured out I was on a timer when I accidentally opened the N for companions menu.

Intro I was missing Ruhnuk from my activities list (have it on live), but could fly there Lip syncing of Lane missing I was confused what happened to my "Data Cache" from the first quest (it auto-opened itself into currency and the three training modules I think) I was confused on what to do after the cutscene with Lane, as there is a glowing blue "Prototype Data Storage" object, but Bessie herself does not have a quest marker over her head (further confusion from quest text: "Use a Data Chip to stabilize the Prototype Droid") Pet bessie dialogue option needs more cuteness "[Take the Basilisk Prototype Droid out for training] Ready to go, Bessi?" (felt unsure about whether it was a good time to start this, as rolling over the currency says "Data Chips are used to stabilize the Basilisk Prototype for a short time." Is that 15 minutes? 30 minutes? an hour? 2 hours? how long is the task? I only have three chips so far. Should I delay working on this till I know i have enough time? Even once I bit the bullet and used the chip i wasnt sure about the timer) "Use a training module in your inventory" -> They are greyed out. When I right-click them it says I have no access to the daily area. (I wonder of this is what was posted above, the achievements not properly copying so it thinks my character does not have access....) Could not progress further.
