SWTOR Galactic Seasons Guide and Rewards – Season 5, 2023

HIGHLIGHTS  

Galactic Seasons 5 “Confidence in Power”  – In this season’s story, “Confidence in Power”, players will meet an astromech named 3V-1L, a peculiar droid who serves a mysterious Master. 3V-1L will test the player through a series of trials, to see if they are worthy of the Master’s teachings of the “dark side”. Whether this is a prank or a serious threat, the player must decide how deeply they will commit to these “dark” trials to uncover the truth. More information  in this article.

New “inspired by” items  – Lightsabers and armor sets inspired by Ahsoka and Thrawn have been added to the Cartel Market!

Quick Travel

Quick Travel Point and Taxi Droid on Nar Shaddaa

Quick Travel is an in-game mechanism that allows a player to quickly travel to a particular section or location of a planet. This is accomplished by first unlocking Quick Travel Points. This generally means traveling by other means to an area and activating the Quick Travel station in that area by right-clicking on it. This is often referred to as binding to a Quick Travel Point. However, it does not imply that you can only bind to a single Quick Travel Point. Binding simply refers to unlocking the point as a potential destination later.

Quick Travel Ability [ ]

To utilize an unlocked Quick Travel Point a user will activate their Quick Travel (Ability) . When available, activating this ability will allow the platey to select from unlocked (bound) Quick Travel Points on the planet. They will then be transported to the selected location.

Quick Travel Point [ ]

Often Quick Travel Points will be located at Medical Centers with Imperial Service Droids that can provide Stims and Medpacs . They can also be located near a Taxi , cantina or spaceport that might need to be utilized for further travel to a final destination or recover HP. The most common use of Quick Travel is to return the player to a location where missions were initially received upon completion of the mission objectives in a faraway place from safety. For this reason, when receiving new missions in an area, or in fact anytime traveling into a new are, the player should for Quick Travel stations so that they may unlock the Quick Travel Point.

Find out how to free your SW:TOR character if they’ve gotten stuck somewhere in the game world.

Exploring the Galaxy can lead to some unexpected situations, like your character becoming wedged in an awkward spot in the terrain, or trapped behind a wall. If this happens to you, there are quite a few ways you can extricate yourself and get back to adventuring.

Here are some of them:

• The game will try to move your character to the nearest safe location. If it can’t find one, it’ll kill your character and allow you to revive at the nearest med center instead.
• Use Quick Travel to pull your character to a local bind point.
• If you’ve got one, use an Emergency Fleet Pass or your Emergency Fleet Pass ability to quick travel to your faction’s Fleet.
• If you’ve got one, travel to your Personal or Guild Stronghold.
• If you’ve unlocked Legacy Travel Perks, you can use them to go directly to your Personal Starship or even to another planet.
• If you’re near a hostile enemy or creature, attack it - if it kills your character you can choose to revive at the nearest med center. This also works with PvP flagged enemy players.
• If your character is a Jedi Knight or a Sith Warrior you can use an ability to leap to an enemy you’ve targeted.
• Some other players may have an ability to push or pull your character - ask for help in chat.
• If none of those work, contact SW:TOR support in-game and ask for your character to be moved.

SWTOR 7.3.1 Changes Overview and Patch Notes

Check out the Changes Highlights and the full patch notes for SWTOR Game Update 7.3.1, which releases on September 6th, 2023. Find out what this update brings to the game!

Update 7.3.1 Highlights

Since this is an X.X.1 patch, don’t expect any major new content, unless you would put a Galactic Season in that category. The update includes Galactic Season 5, further adjustments to the credit economy, balance changes for DPS and tanks, and some Quick Travel UI changes.

Many of the smaller changes are focused on cosmetics, whether it be fixing bugs, or improving quality of life (QoL).

Galactic Season 5

The biggest thing coming with 7.3.1 is Galactic Season 5 “Confidence in Power”, which is getting a few big changes including no new companion. There will still be a little storyline like there was with the companions, but it sounds like the conversations won’t be fully voiced since your main point of contact will be an astromech droid named 3V-1L.

The reward slots in the track that were related to customizing the companion in past seasons will be replaced by a third version of the armor set and some extra personnel decos that wear popular armor sets from the Cartel Market.

There will also be changes to existing objectives, new group content-oriented objectives, and more objectives available to subscribers, though the 7-per-week limit is not changing.

Visit our in-depth guide for a full breakdown of Galactic Season 5 in SWTOR .

Credit Economy Changes

We’re getting several excellent changes credit economy changes coming with 7.3.1, and I’m gonna save the (IMHO) best for last.

First, Quick Travel costs are gonna take your toon’s level into account such that things are cheaper for players at lower levels and scale up to match the existing costs by the time you hit 80.

Second, trade and mail taxes are now driven by the item’s live median sale price on that server, as in what the item actually sells for on your server, rather than the static values they use currently. They have mentioned making this data available to players in the future as part of their GTN overhaul.

Third, they’re FINALLY increasing the GTN Buyout Price (max price per listing) from 1 billion credits to 3 billion! Given that the increase remains below the existing 4.2bil credit cap for a single toon, I get the impression that they may not be planning to change that limit or are making some other bigger change later on.

I know some people like being able to have a separate allowance for each toon, but I would strongly prefer a Legacy-based approach for all credit transactions. Let me list things on the GTN with my legacy, have the mail go to whichever toon I log into next once it sells, and have a single wallet with all of my credits so I don’t need to faff around with the Legacy Bay.

Of course, that part is just speculation, and they could just be keeping the caps “low” because they don’t want the credit economy to be so ridiculously inflated that those limits matter to so many people.

Quick Travel UI Changes

Quick Travel is now going to be dealt with directly through the map UI by clicking on the icon directly. The ability button will still work and pull up a specific view that’s tailored to Quick Travel, but it’s a lot more like a shortcut now instead of something mandatory. It’s a nice QoL improvement for those with limited space on their bars or those that are after a more modern-feeling fast travel experience.

I want to note that this sort of change may feel like a waste of dev resources to many of you. A lot of players have complained about past similar-scale modernizations, or at least a vocal minority have framed it in such a way that they’re wasteful, but they’re not 100% correct.

I don’t mean to dismiss your frustrations, but when you look at and experience these modernizations in the aggregate, you end up with an experience that is far more approachable and accessible to new players. They don’t have to spend extra time learning and tolerating the antiquated system that was built over a decade ago and are better able to focus on figuring out how the game actually works.

SWTOR is also in a bit of “modernization debt” because they really haven’t been keeping up with gameplay and interface modernizations in order to stay relevant, so they’re having to play catch-up right now and dedicate more resources than they would have had they been making constant efforts all along.

Unless the writing is truly on the wall (and SWTOR’s move to Broadsword doesn’t mean support is ending) , the devs aren’t ever gonna operate under the assumption that the game is dead either until they get their pink slips and official notice that the game is going into maintenance mode.

Since knowing something is ending often has a gargantuan negative impact on productivity, the higher-ups probably aren’t gonna tell the devs until the decision to enter maintenance mode has been made. Thus, the only way that the devs can behave is by assuming that support will continue for the foreseeable future

This is a little more out there, but I expect that when (or if) we ever get 8.0, we’ll get it once the bulk of the modernization debt has been paid, a significant chunk of which may happen with the actual release of the expansion, so they can market said expansion as offering a more fully-modernized experience for returning players.

At the same time, I would highly recommend you make your peace with occasional modernizations because, in all likelihood, they’ll only decrease in frequency, they’ll never fully go away.

Cosmetics Changes

Quite a few of the changes in 7.3.1 pertain to Space Barbie. They’re repackaging Kai Zykken, adding an “Inspired By…” tab to collections, and bug fixes particularly pertaining to holsters and sheathes.

Kai Zykken Repackaging

Make sure to say goodbai to Kai because he’ll be leaving (or perhaps fleeing) the Fleet once 7.3.1 arrives! Given how much the devs love Mr. Zykken, I doubt this will be the last we see of him.

Broadsword is replacing Kai Zykken with a new vendor that will sell all of the full sets of set bonus armor in crates that each contain a specific full set of armor (again, that’s sets of set bonus armor). Each box will cost 10k Tech Frags and 1mil credits, so no more weekly cycling or gambling. The schematics for tactical items and set bonuses will also remain available for 2k Tech Frags and 1mil credits.

Hopefully, they plan to do something similar with the other bloated vendors like Specialty Goods on each planet and the one on the Fleet that sells the weapons and armors from Galactic Command in 5.0, but Broadsword hasn’t said anything on that front.

“Inspired By…” Cartel Market Tab

There will be a new “Inspired By…” tab on the Cartel Market that will house all of the items that have an appearance that is based more directly on some other piece of Star Wars. It will include the upcoming Expatriate armor set and lightsabers inspired by Ahsoka, and I suspect it would also include things like all the armors, weapons, and decos from the Mandalorian as well as the “modern” Jedi robes.

A lot of the bug fixes seem focused on addressing the various issues that exist with some of the more advanced cosmetics. They stopped short of saying that holsters and sheaths have been fixed outright, but they did list specific fixes for a lot of weapons with that sort of thing, which while it may not look like it, is considered VFX.

They also mentioned that these components should no longer be seen floating in areas, by which I think they are referring to piling up in front of elevators and clickable doors.

Normally, I wouldn’t include things like this in the highlights, but I know a lot of people care about it and have probably spent their hard-earned money on one or more of the affected items.

Balance Changes

I was surprised to see these since they weren’t announced on the Forums in advance, but there are some small, yet still impactful, balance changes coming to the healer rDPS combat styles and tanks.

The healer rDPS combat style changes are focused on turning the cast/channel while moving effect (Force Mobility and Thrill of the Hunt / Force March) to a baseline effect for the DPS disciplines specifically, not healers, and filling that new void with something that tends to bolster rDPS survivability with the new ability tree buff being primarily useful in PvP.

In essence, this change widens the gap between healer and DPS survivability. Operatives and Scoundrels likely weren’t affected because the devs made changes in a similar vein in an earlier patch by giving adding AoE RDT to the Evasion (Countermeasures) / Dodge (Surrender) ability tree buffs for DPS specs.

Operatives and Scoundrels still arguably need another, more comprehensive, survivability pass that reduces the massive disparity in survivability between each discipline as well between PvE and PvP. I think it will have to involve a new choice that lets all disciplines pick between Revitalizers / Surprise Comeback and Shadow Operative Elite / Slippery Devil.

I am personally THRILLED to see that Plague Master / Teachings of Rajivari is finally getting fixed (and that I managed to get this far into the article without bringing it up), but I’ll cover that in much greater detail along with the rest of the DPS changes in a dedicated article that should be out later today or sometime tomorrow.

I can’t speak to the practical implications for the tank changes, but they mainly boil down to rebalancing some choices and tacticals such that the existing options are more competitive. In particular, the tank tacticals they adjusted (Oil Fire, Hord’s Makashi Strike, and Ancient Tome of Wrath), seem like they’ll be more viable, but take what I say with a grain of salt as my understanding of tanking is purely theoretical.

It’s striking to see how tacticals are getting the same treatment as the ability tree choices. Given that almost no discipline has more than 3 tacticals that are actually usable, I continue to be perplexed as to why Broadsword hasn’t opted to just convert them into a level 78 choice. Perhaps that’s what they plan to do with 8.0 (if we ever get it :crying emoji:) along with more interesting ability tree choices for the specs that didn’t get as much love with the switch to ability tree choices in 7.0 proper.

Cloud Server Migration

Cloud server migration isn’t directly connected to 7.3.1, but it’s been happening at the same time. So far, the EU servers have been migrated to the cloud (AWS), but Broadsword hasn’t given us a date on when NA servers, Star Forge and Satele Shan, will be making the move.

We still don’t know if an NA server merge is in the cards or if there will be any kind of load balancing done to prevent divergent server populations in the future. Broadsword hasn’t committed to adding a dedicated APAC server yet either.

Cartel Market Items

There will be a host of new Cartel Market items, though Broadsword has only shown off Ahsoka’s Expatriate armor set and lightsabers as well as announcing the existence of an armor set inspired by Grand Admiral Thrawn.
