Game Update 7.9 "Legacy Reborn" Patch Notes

STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ · published 3 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Highlights 

Legacy Reborn Storyline 

The finale to Legacy of the Sith is here! With the help of a traitorous ally, Darth Jadus has stolen Darth Nul’s holocron from you, the key to her masterworks involving the Force. He is on his way to Khar Shian, where Heta Kol and the Hidden Chain have reconstructed Darth Nul’s ultimate machine. Malgus and Shae Vizla are also on their way to the Sith moon, each with their own goals. 

The battle at Khar Shian will involve multiple perspectives, featuring unique gameplay allowing players to take the role of specific allies. With all eyes turned toward the forgotten fortress of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Naga Sadow, you and your allies must prepare for the final showdown of Legacy of the Sith.

Update on story content

English voices for upcoming content are in place, however, at the launch of 7.9, players using a French or German client will be able to play Legacy Reborn with English voices and subtitles in their native language. As soon as we have an update on French and German recordings, we'll share when players can expect these to be added!

Motion sickness caution: there is a brief gameplay segment that may cause discomfort in some players. This section can be skipped without missing any critical story moments. Please pay careful attention to in-game notifications.

PvP Season 10 “Honor in Battle”

Season 10 begins with the launch of 7.9, and will run for 16 weeks! New rewards can be earned including new armors, decorations, titles, Achievements, and flairs! 

Cartel Market Offerings

Items inspired by Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu™ and Naga Sadow will be available in the Cartel Market!

Wreckage on Dantooine QoL Updates

General

  • Reduced the Dynamic Encounter requirements for leveling the biomes. 

  • An additional mission step has been added to Wreckage on Dantooine to interact with the Hazard Mitigation Terminal in the Snow Biome to help new players understand the use of the terminals. 

  • Forward Camp Hazard Mitigation Terminals can now be used without any Reputation. 

  • The intro cinematic will now only play once, even upon returning to the planet. 

Missions

  • The Orbital Core encounter will be separated from Wreckage on Dantooine allowing players to complete the story mission without defeating the final boss. Core Competence is a new mission name for completing the Orbital Core encounter. 

    • The Wreckage on Dantooine mission will be automatically completed for players who were on the Orbital Core step. 

    • Players who are not on the last step of the WoD mission at 7.9 launch will have their progress reset and need to redo the story mission again.

  • The Wreckage on Dantooin mission can now be abandoned. 

  • The Wreckage on Dantooine, Core Competence, and [MASTER 4] Orbital Core mission can now be obtained on the Mission Terminal at the base camp. 

  • The intro mission will only be granted to a player if they have never completed it on a character prior. 

  • Players will now be able to skip the intro mission if they have completed it on another character. 

Companion Locator Terminal

An improved solution to the Companion Locator Terminal has been added in 7.9. The functionality of the terminal has been added to the Companions & Contact window under a new tab called "Ineligible for Story”. This will allow players to have a choice in whether or not they use narratively unavailable companions in gameplay. This includes any companion removed through story progression (KOTFE) or through choices (killed/exiled). With this new tab added, and the availability of companions being the same as the terminal, the Locator Terminal itself will be disabled. 

UI Updates

A “Close” button has been added to the bottom of the Welcome Window. 

Nar Shaddaa Nightlife Event

Our summer event will be returning June 30th and will run until August 11th!
