SWTOR game director Keith Kanneg spoke about the upcoming Roadmap today – what can we expect to be included – what comes until the end of 2017 and early 2018.
The Roadmap will be delivered in full before the Cantina event on 6th October and it will include information about upcoming updates to the game until the end of 2017 as well as the early months of 2018. Check out Keith’s full message about the SWTOR Roadmap below:
I have seen quite a few questions about the status of the Roadmap, both in timing and in content. I know this is more of an announcement of an announcement, but the plan is to deliver the updated version before our October 6th SWTOR Cantina in New York. I also realize I’ve been more quiet this past month, but we’ve been hard at work making sure we avoid the issues we had last month with Game Update 5.4.
As a result, we pushed back the release date of Game Update 5.5 to October 10, 2017, and as you’ll find out, we have lots of activity happening every couple weeks. In the Roadmap, I will provide you with exactly what we’re doing through the end of 2017 plus a glimpse of early 2018. After it’s published, we’ll make sure we are available to answer your questions, address your concerns, and offer any additional insight. For those of you participating at the Cantina, we have a fun surprise for you that we’ll announce in an upcoming Livestream.
On a side note – community manager Eric Musco confirmed that Game Update 5.5 will conclude the DPS and HPS class changes that Bioware started wih 5.3, continued in 5.4 and will conclude in 5.5.
Game Update 5.5 will mark the end of the primary balance changes to DPS and HPS as we outlined in the original post around balance targets. I will be posting the remaining 5.5 Class changes over the next few days (into next week).
Game Update 5.6 will be where we begin adjusting utilities. This is also where we would begin making any additional tweaks to balance as needed for Classes that are over // underperforming. Hope that answers your question.
