STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ News

The Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event begins July 8 and will run until August 19, 2025. If this is your first time participating in the event, you will want to head over to the Republic or Imperial Fleet. A floating mission terminal located in the connecting corridors of the Fleet will grant you a mission that will send you to the Star Cluster (Republic) or Club Vertica (Imperial) Casinos on Nar Shaddaa. There are three different slot machines that players can test their luck on.

Smuggler’s Luck

The Smuggler’s Luck slot machine requires a Smuggler’s Casino Chip, purchasable from any Hospitality Droid for 5,000 credits. Players have a chance to earn Casino Chips for Smuggler’s Luck and Kingpins’ Bounty machines and Golden Certificates (a special type of currency that can be taken to the event vendors to gain exclusive rewards). Additionally, by playing this slot machine, players will also have a chance to earn the “Feeling Lucky” Buff. This Buff boosts the chances of winning from the other types of slot machines - Kingpin’s Bounty and Emperor’s Grace.

Kingpin’s Bounty

The chips required to use this can either be won from the Smuggler’s Luck slot machine or bought for 100,000 credits. Players will be able to win Kingpin’s Bounty Casino Chips, Golden Certificates, Cartel Certificates, Emperor’s Grace chips, and rewards from this machine. This machine also offers players a chance at receiving the “Good Karma” buff that increases their chances of winning on Kingpin’s Bounty and Emperor’s Grace. Chances are increased when you have the Feeling Lucky Buff or increased further if you have the Good Karma Buff.

Emperor’s Grace

Emperor’s Grace has the highest priced Chip at 7.5 million credits a piece but rather unique rewards that can only be won while playing on this machine such as the High Stakes Squadron Helmet and High Roller Skiff Mount. Players can also obtain Golden Certificates and Cartel Certificates as common prizes. Chances of winning are increased when you have the Feeling Lucky Buff and when you have Good Karma, these effects stack for the best chances of winning when you have both buffs.

Max Bet Machines

Each Machine also comes in a Max Bet version exclusive to the VIP Lounge on the Fleet, with higher win rates and exclusive prizes! The chips required to use these can be purchased with credits or non-Max Bet chips from the Hospitality Vendors. Access with the VIP Lounge Wristband can be acquired from the Cantina Vendor on the Fleet.

Mechanical Updates

The following changes are being made to the event for 2025!

All Chips are now Legacy Currency

• As you login to your character you character currency will be converted to legacy currency to be accessible on all characters.
  
• This can cause the currency to go over the cap - this will prevent you from gaining more chips until you spend them so if you go over the cap remember you can turn them into Max Bet Chips at the Hospitality Vendors in the VIP area of the Fleet!
  
• Most Chip Currency limits have also been increased! All normal chips are now capped at 1,000,000 and all Max Bet chips are capped at 100,000.
  

Drop Rates for Emperor’s Casino Chip has been increased in Master Flashpoints, Veteran Operations, and Master Operations!

You can not lose on Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet Machines.

Lucky and Good Karma buffs:

• Now both are 10 minutes long so you no longer need to get them in a specific order to maximize effectiveness on the Emperor’s Grace machines.
  
• Only removed by the timer running out or from a successful Jackpot! Jackpots on Smuggler’s Luck do not remove Lucky or Good Karma.
  
• The effect cannot be reapplied until the timer runs out or it is removed by a Jackpot, so if you lose it you’ll need to get it again.
  

Winning Chips:

• Like past iterations you can get your Chip back from the machine instead of winning.
  • This no longer counts as a win.
    
  • It does not play the win visual effects or grant achievement progress
    
  • All machines have a chance of giving your Chip back now.
• It is possible to get the Chips from the next tier machine
  
• It is possible to get the Max Bet Chip for the current tier machine
  
• Max Bet machines can give Chips for the next tier Max Bet machine.
  

New Achievements have been added for playing on all machines.

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hi folks! [/p][p]As we head into the second half of the year, there’s quite a bit that has happened since March, and even more to look forward to for the rest of 2025. Let’s first take a look back on what’s happened in the last few months and then I’ll get into what’s coming up in the near future. [/p][p]Game Updates [/p][p]On March 11th, we released Galactic Seasons 8 in Game Update 7.6.1 “Rising Powers”, allowing players to obtain extra abilities to annihilate their enemies and complete Uprisings even faster. This update also came with additional customizations for the Basilisk companion B3-S1, the return of our Spring Event, new Utility Bundles in the Cartel Market, and new rewards for players who completed R-4 Anomaly Operation Veteran Mode in under 40 minutes.[/p][p]Game Update 7.7 “Dynamic Worlds” was released on May 28, and it came with new Dynamic Encounters for the starter planets, capital planets, and Ilum which included a ton of new rewards and Achievements to earn! [/p][p][/p][p](Coruscant Conspiracy Console (Achievement Reward))[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p](Imperial Massive Cannon)
[/p][p]Speaking of, there are additional Achievements, rewards, and augments to earn for the toughest players who are experienced enough to take on Relentless Replication Master Mode.    [/p][p](Replication Throne Mount)
[/p][p]This update also included PvP Season 8 “Champions of the Wild”, various quality of life improvements, combat updates, Cartel Market items inspired by the Disney+ series Andor™ on, and a wide array of new skin color customizations across Cathar, Chiss, Mirialan, Nautolan, Sith Pureblood, Togruta, and Twi’lek characters. That’s over 400 new skin colors across these species that were never available prior to 7.7. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p](Examples of new skin colors for Togruta, Nautolan, Cathar, Mirialan, and Twi’lek characters)[/p][p][/p][p]Players also saw updates for character modernization. The adjustments focused on facial definition and skin texture changes, a fix for the splotchiness seen on vibrant colored species, and bringing parity to what is shown in the Preview Window and seen in general gameplay. A more detailed post about these changes can be found here.  
[/p][p]Special Events[/p][p]In between the two latest updates, we had the opportunity to be part of Star Wars Celebration 2025™ in Japan! A video featurette aired on April 19 giving the broader Star Wars™ audience a look into The Old Republic™ and a little tease into upcoming story content. [/p][p][/p][p]It was fantastic being able to celebrate Star Wars™ with so many players over the course of the weekend both in person and in-game. For Celebration, we released a Jubilee Hoverpod log in reward, Naboo Speeder Type-C Subscriber Mount, and a redeemable Amethyst Vulptilla mini-pet. Players have been very interested in the subscriber rewards, and so expect to see more rewards in the near future. [/p][p]Hot on the heels of Celebration, we released a May 4th B25-SAL mini-pet log in reward, ran a Double XP event, and had various sales happening in the Cartel Market. [/p][p][/p][p]What else is happening?
[/p][p]DirectX 12[/p][p]We also saw a lot of questions during our 7.7 livestream asking for updates on DirectX 12 (DX12). Currently, we have a working version of the game running in DX12! However, we still have more to do before we can release a version for players to test such as converting the game’s UI system to DX12 and ensuring any major bugs are identified and resolved. We will have more to share later this year, but I am pleased with the progress the team has been making on this initiative![/p][p][/p][p]What’s coming up? 
[/p][p]Our next seasonal event is arriving in just a couple weeks! Nar Shaddaa Nightlife will be returning on July 8th! A separate article will be published at a later time focusing on new rewards and some updates coming to the event. [/p][p]Those familiar with our content calendar will know Game Update 7.7.1 is our next release. With it, players can expect the next Galactic Season. When we get closer to talking about the next season, we will unveil the theme and its new rewards. [/p][p]Players will also see additional updates to our character modernization efforts in 7.7.1. The most important of these will be the anticipated improvements for Rattataki to give them the same attention other species recently received. Companions not covered in 7.7 will also be getting some love, as well as continuing refinements and bug fixes based on your feedback. [/p][p]I know many of you have been asking for updates on the story content and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your patience. I am happy to say that we will have concrete details of the release of Galactic Threads and Master’s Enigma in our upcoming 7.7.1 livestream, so we are looking forward to sharing the story roadmap with you all then. [/p][p]The team and I thank you for your continued support of this beloved game, and we cannot wait to show you what’s in store for it. See you all soon! [/p][p]-Keith[/p]
