Dev Post EricMusco Posted May 24, 2019 Dev Post Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Hey folks, Game Update 5.10.3 is being delayed by one week to Tuesday, June 4th. As we were in the final stages of testing and preparation for launch we discovered a critical bug that we need to take the time to address before going live. For context, the issue is that a large portion of combat animations simply stopped working. Obviously, that's a pretty big deal! We are digging into whether it is a systemic change that caused it or just a bad build/version. Either way we want to take the extra week to ensure that we have time to fully understand why this is happening and get it resolved. This will cause a few timing changes on our end, which makes this a great chance to share those details with you! Since it's brand new, we will run the Pirate Incursion event twice in a row, from June 4th - 11th and June 11th - 18th. Nar Shaddaa Nightlife will be returning from June 18th – July 30th.Double XP will run from June 11th - 18th.We were planning to do our first Onslaught livestream next Thursday, May 30th, where we would discuss Spoils of War! We are still on track for this to happen and so look for that stream next week. We will let you know if anything changes. Thanks everyone. We never want to delay an update if we can avoid it but certainly the animation issues are not acceptable to go live with and so we are going to take the necessary time to get them resolved. -eric Edited May 24, 2019 by EricMusco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlBuzzard Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Eric I appreciate the heads up. Looks like I will miss a part of this due to taking care of some family matters. But this gets the community one step closer to the main event ! Much appreciated !! Thank You Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillerbees Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks for letting us know - we are kinda used to this sort of delay now. Maybe its time we build the 1 week delay into the expected release date from now on. So, I'll start you off and I warmly look forward to 6.0 on the 1st week of October. Joking aside though, yeah its important that we get it delivered as unbroken as possible. Can you tease us some info we don't know about 6.0 yet as a consolation for not getting this release on time?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farferello Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think I'd be more surprised if this hadn't gotten delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmar Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Thank you for informing us on the details. It is indeed better to delay patches than breaking the game. ^^ Though i wonder what caused it. Might your engineers be trying to fix the desync issues and a bug slipped through? Or have they became so rampant that they catched up with more animations? Whatever the case, i hope everything is fixed. Looking forward to that 30th live stream! Though i'm personally more excited to see the class changes. Edited May 24, 2019 by Nemmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemine Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Will there be a explanation of how gearing and how to acquire the gear system will work? Since a lot of the current currencies are being deleted and traded for credits, how is it changing? Or is it more "still trying to figure it out" stage? Or will that explanation come in the written blogs and not in the livestream? Honestly, I don't care either way, as long as we get the info.

casirabit Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well that means I will not be playing it for awhile. I am on a two -week break right now from college and my next semester starts on June 4 . Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone can listen to a podcast/livestream due to hearing impairment or audio processing concerns, and when there's no transcript or captioning we miss out on the information altogether. So any summaries or blogs are greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Wasn't this picked up while it was on the PTS? Why are you not having people test the final build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanktePer Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Wasn't this picked up while it was on the PTS? Why are you not having people test the final build? They do PTS builds and a final internal testing phase. This was picked up during the final testing build internally and it was not present in previous builds of the patch.

Nmyownworld Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks for the heads up, Eric Musco. Nar Shaddaa Nightlife will be returning from June 18th – July 30th. Nice!

jedimasterjac Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Much appreciation for the heads-up, and for you guys putting in time to fix the issue. An extra week's wait isn't the end of the world, especially if it's to fix serious bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can we just preemptively agree that as far as obtaining game-play affecting gear RNG is not exciting and should not play a significant part in the process?

Lhancelot Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Roger roger. And thanks, I like to read. I hate those articles on the internet that I assume are a written article only to open up and find it's some stupid video with some dramatic music playing alongside it to make "news" seem more like a movie trailer than anything else. Are people losing the ability to read now, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
