STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ News

7.8 Content is now available on the Public Test Server!

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Dynamic Encounters have come to Dantooine but these missions are unlike any that our players have experienced before! New to this type of content? Don’t worry! Below is a brief overview of what Dynamic Encounters are and how they will work in the new area. 
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Once players log onto the Public Test Server (PTS), they will see a new area added to Dantooine called Dantooine Crash Site. It is here where all the fun begins. Players are encouraged to group up together to take on the various challenges that can be found as they explore three different biomes that have been unnaturally created in Dantooine’s environment. 
[/p][p]The more encounters players complete, the closer they get to engaging the Orbital Core boss inside of the unidentified ship. These fights are meant to be challenging so players will need to work together to take them down. 
[/p][p]These encounter loops are not set on a set schedule as their predecessors are. The amount of times that the boss can be unlocked within a day rests solely on the progress players make in the biomes. [/p][p][/p][p]How do the rewards work? 
[/p][p]As mentioned in the video above, players will be making progress along a Reputation track as they complete encounters and obtain Reputation currency. This currency can be used to purchase a variety of rewards including new mounts, minipets, armors, Stronghold decorations, and even helpful consumables that will assist players within the biomes. Though it is important to note that for this first initial iteration of PTS, the items on the Reputation will not be fully accessible. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Where can we leave feedback?

Classic Star Wars MMO's most impressive update yet has me scrambling to find my password

It's good to see a Star Wars game thriving. The entire extended universe has been hit and miss for a while now, with the greatness of Andor and the Jedi games counteracted by the likes of Outlaws and the Book of Boba Fett. Too much relies on crossovers and Glup Shitto, with the companies involved more keen to make the audience point at the screen like the Leonardo di Caprio meme than tell an interesting, original story. Thankfully, Star Wars The Old Republic is a bastion of the old ways. It's right up there on our list of the best Star Wars games, and update 7.8 only looks to improve it further.
