Update from 12 August 2022: If a game is maybe not played so blatantly anymore, then it also takes time with the translations of patch notes into German. It’s a pity, but not uncommon – we’ve already seen this with WoW. Game Update 7.1a for SWTOR got patch notes in the meantime, but they haven’t been translated yet. As previously assumed by SWTOR fans, the patch mainly provides bug fixes. For example, NPCs cannot disappear under the floor of R-4 Anomaly and many dailies on Manaan now provide three daily resource matrices and 30 tech fragments. Below are the official patch notes.

Original message from August 10, 2022: In a galaxy far, far away …. eh, in our galaxy there will be maintenance for the SWTOR Game Update 7.1a on August 11, 2022. This means that the servers will be unavailable between 15:00 and 17:00 our time, so you are forewarned. It is not yet known what changes will finally be made to the game worlds of the online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic with Update 7.1a.

For the announcement of the maintenance work on the evening of August 9, 2022, the folks at Bioware did tweet that the full list of patch notes for Game Update 7.1a would be made available on the official website for the MMO during the course of August 10 – but they are currently (as of 16:00) not there yet. Keep an eye on the SWTOR patch notes overview page yourself.
