• Tython
  
• Korriban

Relentless Replication Master Mode

The highest difficulty for Relentless Replication has been released in Game Update 7.7! With it comes new Achievements and rewards to earn including Legendary Augments and themed mount!

(Replication Throne Mount)

Augment Updates

Legendary Augments will now be available with Master Mode Relentless Replication! Crafters brave enough to defeat XR-53, with a little luck, can begin their crafting journey into our new Legendary implants. For those of you that may not want to venture into Master Mode just yet, we are making some adjustments to our PvP Weekly Missions and Veteran Mode Relentless Replication for a few alternate paths to the new Augments as well.

Eras Window

Whether you are a new, returning, or seasoned player, the Eras Window will guide you in your journey through SWTOR’s story. Content from the game’s launch to the present is categorized into Eras, providing summaries for each as well as a chronological visual guide to the story. The Eras Window will show you where you are in the overall crit path storyline, what you’ve completed, and what is still to come for each of your characters.

This window also acts as a great refresher if you are coming back to a character you haven’t played in some time as the overviews are tailored to your journey, show you where that character is in the overall narrative, and allow them to quickly jump directly into their next Mission!

Mission Log Updates

Alongside the introduction of the Eras Window, we have also made a few Quality of Life improvements to the Mission Log to help in ensuring that important information is easier to find as you move through the game. Definitely check out the before and after images to spot the differences but some the key changes we made include:

• Introduction of a Galaxy Map button within your Mission Log for easier navigation from Missions to galactic travel!
  
• Reorientation of various UI elements for improved navigation.
  
• Adjustments to make Mission Prioritization clearer (Ex: reduction of non-crit path Missions using Purple)
  

PvP Season 8 “Champions of the Wild”

PvP Season 8 “Champions of the Wild” begins with 7.7 launch and will run for 16 weeks!

Alongside the new season, we will be providing players with a Cartel Coin purchase option to bring more parity with other seasonal content such as Galactic Seasons. Catch up via credits will still be available. Read here for details on the new rewards!

Additional Quality of Life Improvements

World Map

We have made a host of quality of life improvements to the World Map to help in navigating the Galaxy! The first thing to note is that we have added a 3 section accordion menu to the left side of the World Map:

• Quick Travel - This now has a filter button that can be used as a toggleable shortcut to quickly isolate Quick Travel points in respect to important Mission icons. Toggling it off will put your filters right back to your original preference!
  
• Encounters - The most exciting of the new sections, the Encounters section will highlight all available Dynamic Encounters in your area. Clicking on one will begin tracking it, this will act as an aid to help breadcrumb you straight to the event location
  
• Filters - The Galaxy Map, Filter options, and Magnifying Glass have been organized into this small utility menu.
  

Combat Updates

We want to ensure that players have a viable, fun, and fantasy-fulfilling experience from the default choices that we make within your Combat Style. We’ve reevaluated the default choices within Disciplines and have made a variety of changes in 7.7.

A full list of these changes can be found in the 7.7 patch notes.

Cartel Market items

Two new armors (inspired by the Andor™ series on Disney+), a Manaan mini-sub mount, and a Nar Shaddaa decoration bundle have come to the Cartel Market! See here for more details!

In addition to Hoth and Tatooine, Dynamic Encounters have to come to starter planets - Tython, Korriban, Hutta, and Ord Mantell, Capital Worlds - Coruscant and Dromund Kass, and the ice planet of Ilum!

These fun missions are sprinkled throughout a planet adding life and a quick burst of additional narrative and lore to the planet you may be exploring. They can be completed solo or in a group and can be enjoyed by new and seasoned players alike!

Originally debuted in Game Update 7.6 “Galactic Threads,” Dynamic Encounters were first introduced to Tatooine and Hoth with Hidden Chain Invasions spreading across the galaxy.
