If you’re preparing to dive into Star Wars: The Old Republic and the new Update 7.8 content then you might want to read this, because as well as a new area on Dantooine called the Dantooine Crash Site, you’ll want to know the latest news to get the best out of this fresh area.
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.
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.
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.
How do the rewards work?
As mentioned in the video above, players will be making progress along a Reputation track as they complete encounters. The vendor located in the main camp will have zone progression items and keys to unlock different rooms in the Dantooine Stronghold. While the Stronghold itself will not be accessible through the PTS, we would like feedback on the pricing and Reputation rank requirement for the items on the vendor.
Other rewards including new mounts, minipets, armors, Stronghold decorations, will be obtainable through various Achievements and completing various Dynamic Encounters in the Crash Site.
