SWTOR Developer Tracker

Welcome to our super-fast, search-able and sortable Developer Tracker for Bioware's Star Wars The Old Republic. It is a collection of posts made by the developers and other Bioware employes on the official SWTOR forums. There is an existing feature on the official forums, but we didn't like its functionality, so we improved upon it.

Our developer tracker lets you search by keywords in our little search box. You can sort by each of the columns (Developer name, Forum or date) in both ascending and descending order. Best of all it is powered by javascript and all your actions should be instant. We hope you enjoy it and we'll try and expand on the current functionality in the future.

HERO ENGINE VIDEO

please refer to THIS THREAD to see how passionate the community is about this.

Thank you for your time.
The Hero Engine in TOR has been extensively modified from the original code. I'm not an expert on the differences, but I know it's been very much reworked for SWTOR. Therefore any feature you may see from a marketing video isn't guaranteed to appear in the final game.

As Daniel said - and elaborated on - swimming was not an easy feature to implement in SWTOR. The inclusion of swimming was weighed against other features and was cut for launch. That doesn't mean it might not be re-considered for the future, but right now, it's not in.

We've seen the feedback and we'll continue to monitor it, but right now, don't expect it at launch.
