Soon, BioWare will roll out patch 1.2 to the Public Test Server and with that, the team is looking to invite guilds to test their end-game content ahead of the official live client release. Game Update 1.2 is stuffed to the brim with new content such as a new Flashpoint, Operation, and Warzone. If you’re looking to take an active role in testing with your guild, this may be the opportunity you’re looking for.

Hello everyone! We are very excited to announce that Game Update 1.2 will be hitting our Public Test Server soon.

As you know, Game Update 1.2 is packed with new content, including a new Flashpoint, Operation, and Warzone. To that end, we’re looking for some end-game guilds to test this new content and to provide feedback before the update goes out to our live servers.

While we don’t have the technology for mass character transfers yet, we do have a manual process to copy characters from our Live servers to our Public Test Server that we will be offering for Guilds that are accepted for testing.

If you and your Guild would like to help us out in testing Game Update 1.2 content, please do the following:

• Gather a strike team from your Guild of no more than 16-20 players (8 works too, of course) who have ready-to-raid (or PVP) level 50 characters in the game. These must be players who are willing to put the live game aside for a while and help us out on the Public Test Server.
• Ensure that each player patches to the Public Test Server and logs into it before submitting your team list via email.
• Ensure that each player has an empty character slot (that is, they must have 7 or fewer characters) on the Public Test Server.
• Send an email to guilds@swtor.com with the subject “[Your Guild Name] Game Update 1.2 Testing” and include the following information:
• The server that your Guild is currently on.
• A very brief summary of your Guild’s end-game accomplishments. (No more than 50 words, please.)
• For each participating member of your Guild, please list their:
  • Account name (the name that shows up when you post on the SWTOR forums)
  • Account e-mail address
  • Character name of the level 50 they wish to have copied to the Public Test Server.

Spaces are limited, so we can’t guarantee that your Guild will be accepted for testing. Please get your emails in as soon as you can. We are looking to begin the copying process soon. Accepted Guilds will be notified via email, at which point more information will be given.

Thanks in advance!

If you're just a single person and are based locally in Austin, you may also have the opportunity to test the content ahead of time.

Joveth GonzalezThe Star Wars: The Old Republic team is looking for skilled SWTOR players in the Austin area to test out brand new content in the BioWare Austin office. We are looking for players that are experienced with endgame Operations, Warzones, and Flashpoints. 

Players that meet this criteria may fill out this survey and qualifying candidates will be contacted for more information. 

This is a temporary paid position and will require at least a weekend a month of your time.

Thank you!

 Either way, Game Update 1.2 looks to be a promising step forward for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
