New difficulty toggles are now available on the SWTOR 8.0 Public Test Server! (PTS)

As of August 20, we ask players to only check out Difficulty Modes on the starter and capital planets. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: KotFE/KotET have not been re-balanced for Veteran or Master difficulties at this time. Reports from the Chapters are not currently valid, and the content will be far off target in terms of balance for both modes.

Questions

• Please report what difficulty you were playing in.
• For Veteran difficulty, our goal is to come close to how the game felt near our initial launch. If you played at that time or any time early in SWTOR’s history, did this difficulty feel appropriate? If you did not, did this feel appropriately challenging as a “medium” difficulty?
• Our target for Expert difficulty is to challenge skilled players to use their full arsenal (including DCDs, throughput cooldowns, interrupts, and other utilities) as they progress through the game. When playing Master, were you challenged to understand and utilize your class’ abilities more thoroughly than in the live game? Does this feel appropriate as a “hard” difficulty?
• Please report any enemies in class story phases, the overworld, or heroic mission phases that are unreasonably difficult. Include the mission name, your combat specialization, and your level when you attempted the encounter.
