Game Update 7.7.1 "Flashpoint Resurgence" Patch Notes

[h3]Highlights [/h3][p]Galactic Season 9 “Flashpoint Resurgence” [/p][p]Kai Zykken returns with another offer to test a new version of the adrenal boost created by Czerka. The updated Experimental Combat Enhancers will provide even more special buffs upon use when in Flashpoints. Players will be able to make progress through the Free Reward track or the Subscriber Reward track (both tracks are available to Subscribers!) and earn new rewards. [/p][p]A new Galactic Season Flashpoint Resurgence queue has been added to Activity Finder. Every week that Galactic Season 9 is active, this special queue will have 1 or 2 Veteran Flashpoints that match the weekly objectives. [/p][p]Updates to Activity Finder[/p][p]Improvements to the UI and functionality of the Activity Finder Window have been made that focuses on more support for Combat Styles. Via a new Group Role dropdown, players will be able to choose all roles they are eligible for in the Group tab including the roles from both Combat Styles. Players can now adjust their Combat Styles while waiting for PVE group content. Once the queue pops, the updated Join Window will display the player’s current Combat Style selection and they will need to be sure to match what the Group Finder required role is prior to joining. For convenience, a quick link to Combat Styles and Loadouts has also been added. Players will need to be mindful of the Loadouts they are using and update as needed.[/p][p]Players can now earn the Daily Reward Bonus and Weekly Mission credits even if they do not select every piece of content in the filter.  In the Activity Finder UI players will see two numbers next to each other to explain this information as the following (total available pieces of content // minimum number selected to receive rewards).[/p][p]Flashpoint Cutscene Skip[/p][p]Players that enter a Veteran or Master Mode Flashpoint via Activity Finder will find that the cinematic scenes will now skip automatically. The cinematics will be replaced with a brief fade to black. In instances where players would typically make a Light or Dark side choice, a default choice will be made for players and Light/Dark points will not be granted. Should players want to experience the cinematics in a Veteran or Master Mode Flashpoint, they can manually walk into the phase.[/p][p]In addition, players who complete the below Flashpoints in Veteran Mode via Activity Finder will no longer need to return to the fleet to complete the access mission:[/p]

New Star Wars The Old Republic update expands the MMORPG's free-to-play features

What is it about the Old Republic that makes Star Wars fans all misty eyed? You'd think that the prequel trilogy did enough damage for us not to want more stories from before Luke Skywalker was born. Alas, we're gluttons for punishment and lap up every expanded-universe novel, game, and anything else we can get our hands on. The pinnacle, for me at least, is BioWare's series of RPGs. While many players will fondly remember Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic in its own right, held back only by its monetisation.

Galactic Season 9 “Flashpoint Resurgence”

Galactic Season 9 will begin at 7.7.1 launch and run for 26 weeks. Kai Zykken needs your help once more as a new version of Czerka Combat Enhancers needs to be tested. These new enhancers can be used upon entering Flashpoints and can provide two new buffs.

The Meta Achievement Reward is the T7-01 Rugged Customization



System QoL Updates

Activity Finder 

Improvements to the UI and functionality of the Activity Finder Window have been made that focuses on more support for Combat Styles. Via a new Group Role dropdown, players will be able to choose all roles they are eligible for in the Group tab including the roles from both Combat Styles. They will be able to change their Combat Style while in queue and when a queue pops, players will be able to see the role they have been assigned. Players will need to be cognizant of the Loadouts they are using and update as needed.

In addition to the above updates, a new Galactic Season Flashpoint Resurgence queue will be added to the window. Every week that Galactic Season 9 is active, this special queue will have 1 or 2 Veteran Flashpoints that match the weekly objectives. Players can also join normal queues if they want. 

Players can earn the Daily Reward Bonus and Weekly Mission credits even if they do not select every piece of content in the filter. In the Activity Finder UI, players will see two numbers next to each other to explain this information as the following (total available pieces of content // minimum number selected to receive rewards).  

Flashpoint Cutscene Skip

Players that enter most Veteran or Master Mode Flashpoint via Activity Finder will no longer need to spacebar through cinematic scenes. The cinematics will be replaced with a brief fade to black. In instances where players would typically make a Light or Dark side choice, a default choice will be made for players and Light/Dark points will not be granted. Should players want to experience the cinematics in a Veteran or Master Mode Flashpoint, they can manually walk into the phase. 

As a general note, loot from Flashpoint boss drops have been improved for players under level 75. 

Combat Updates

We are continuing with our audit of the default granted abilities and will be focusing on Mercenary/Commando, Operative/Scoundrel, and Sorcerer/Sage. There will also be a handful of other balance updates in 7.7.1. Examples are: 

  • Assassin/Shadow - Level 73 ability tree option Avoidance/Celerity now reduces the cooldown of Force Speed by 7s.
  • Operative/Scoundrel - Level 60 ability Exfiltrate/Scamper cooldown changed from 8s to 7s.

A full list will be posted in the 7.7.1 patch notes as we get closer to launch. 

Security Key Updates

Players who have a Security Key tied to their account will only receive their Cartel Coin grants if they were active in the last 29 days. We will not be removing coins that have already been granted. 

To add a Security Key to your SWTOR account, go to your account page on our website. Commonly used authenticators can be used.   

F2P/Preferred Improvements

More changes have been made to improve the F2P experience. Previous updates that have gone into the 7.x patches include: 

  • All players now being able to sprint at Level 1
  • All players can train speeder piloting at level 10

These rewards can range from purchasing endgame game or leveling gear, special XP and crafting boost, etc… There will also be a unique companion customization reward on the vendor inspired by the Disney+ series Andor™ that can be used on companion droids 2V-R8 and C2-N2.

(Example of face definition and texture smoothing for Rattataki)

Additionally, we unlocked hundreds of hair and montral color options to character customization for Cathar, Chiss, Cyborg, Human, Miraluka, Mirialan, Togruta, and both Imperial and Republic Zabraks. 





Updates on DirectX 12

The team now has a functioning version of the game on DX12! Our next steps are to upgrade UI technology and implement baseline shader. We intend on working toward releasing a Technical Alpha on the Public Test Server in the not too distant future. We will communicate further details on the timeline of this test when the team makes further progress. We are very excited for this upgrade to come to SWTOR!

Game Update 7.7.1 “Flashpoint Resurgence” will be coming late August 2025!  

Nar Shaddaa Nightlife returns on July 8 with new rewards!



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.
