Dynamic events have done a fair bit to inject a sense of activity into the zones of Star Wars: The Old Republic, but when the MMORPG’s game update 7.8 goes live, it’s going to be bringing another layer of that kind of activity in the form of a new encounter on the planet Dantooine.
The event in question will see players responding to a call for help from researchers who are investigating a massive ship crash, which released a bunch of alien flora and fauna as well as activated a bunch of droids on the ship that are terraforming the native biology of the planet to better suit these new lifeforms. Players will be tasked with stopping this invasive effort before Dantooine’s environment is damaged.
Unlike other dynamic events that are one-and-done, Dantooine’s event will have multiple levels to it, unlocking additional stages and objectives along the way, all culminating in a final boss encounter before the event resets to level one. Players can also look forward to three distinct biomes that will be part of the event, as well as a suite of new rewards as players progress along a new reputation track, including new mounts, armor sets, and a Dantooine stronghold.
Players who are eager to see how this new dynamic event will play out will get to kick the tires when it arrives to the MMORPG’s PTS soon™. Until then, the video below offers some work-in-progress sneak peeks at what’s to come.
