Daniel Erickson, Lead Game Designer for Star Wars the Old Republic, posted some solem news for fans of the popular MMO on the game’s official blog. The previously planned ‘Ranked Warzones’ that were scheduled for the 1.2 update have now been pulled.
Erickson stated, “It is with great reluctance that I have to announce Ranked Warzones are not going live with Game Update 1.2: Legacy. We had a fantastic run of testing on the Public Test Server and I can’t begin to thank the community enough for their tireless advocacy for this feature and the time people took to file bugs and voice their concerns”.
Apparently the bugs and errors were just too big to squash before the update will launch (April 12, 2024). Erickson said, “it is clear that to make Ranked Warzones the feature we all want it to be is going to take a bit more time”.
The update is still scheduled to launch on time and the ‘Ranked Warzone Preseason’ will be launched in “phases” while gathering player feedback. Erickson did confirm that there will be an “alternate purchase route for War Hero gear so you can start building your set while figuring out your teams”.
