Star Wars: The Old Republic news » Game Update 6.1.1 now on PTS!

In the upcoming Game Update 6.1.1 we’re introducing several quality of life changes and improvements for players with Conquest and Class changes. Alongside these changes, we’re introducing the Master Mode difficulty for The Nature of Progress Operation as well as new Set Bonuses!

Master Mode and New Set Bonuses

Currently the first, second, and fifth bosses are available for Master Mode testing, with the others to be added in with future PTS phases. Along with the Master Mode difficulty, new Set Bonuses that will have an increased chance to drop from the Operation. All Classes barring Powertechs and Vanguards will be receiving these new Set Bonuses, one per Class. Powertechs and Vanguards actually got their Set Bonuses a few months early in Game Update 6.0.1 with the Emergency Power Armor Set. A full breakdown of the new Set Bonuses can be found here.
