Hi everyone!<\/p>\n
The Dantooine Crash Site area is now open for players to test out the Dynamic Encounters (DEs), explore the new biomes, and take on a challenging 4\u2013player boss.<\/p>\n
If you are not familiar with DEs, below is a short video of what they are and how they will work in the new area.<\/p>\n
Wreckage on Dantooine overview<\/a><\/p>\n Unlike the DEs that were released in Game Updates 7.6 and 7.7, Dantooine\u2019s encounters will require a group effort on two levels and access to the boss is completely dependent upon how quickly DEs are completed.<\/p>\n As described in the video, there are three biomes that need to be \u201cleveled up\u201d in order for the final boss to be unlocked. The more encounters that are completed, the faster the biomes will upgrade to the next level unlocking new areas and more challenging missions.<\/p>\n When the biomes are fully leveled, players will be able to engage the Orbital Core boss. Players will need to work together in 4\u2013player groups in order to take it down. Note that once the boss is \u201cunlocked\u201d the encounter will remain active for a period of 2 hours (this is subject to change) allowing multiple groups to challenge it. Once this window of time closes, the gameloop repeats and the biomes will revert back to level 1.<\/p>\n How to prepare for this content<\/u><\/p>\n Important notes<\/u><\/p>\n You will be getting a very early first look into 7.8 content. Understand that everything is still a work in progress and not completely polished. Content you will NOT see available on the PTS:<\/p>\n Specific callouts for this iteration of PTS<\/u><\/p>\n As always, if you are streaming or recording your gameplay while on the PTS, we would love to check out the VODs. Feel free to post links in the feedback threads or PM them to me.<\/p>\n Please leave you feedback in the following threads:<\/p>\n The new content coming to SWTOR is up on the Public Test Server right now!
