If you were unable to watch-or if you want a recap of everything we showed during our Game Update 7.6.1 Livestream, don't worry! Below is a VOD and breakdown of what we showed during the livestream.

A new Twitch Drop is now active until March 12th! In order to obtain the Ord Mantell Poster Decoration, you must watch 1 hour of live SWTOR content on Twitch. Be sure to connect your Twitch and SWTOR account on the website so you can earn this new deco today! 

When 7.6.1 is live (date TBD), players will be able to earn another Twitch Drop reward. 

The AC-10 Disruptor mount will be unlocked after 4 hours of watch time and earnable for 28 days following 7.6.1 launch.

Galactic Season 8 “Rising Powers”

Kai Zykken reaches out offering an opportunity to try out Czerka’s new Experimental Combat Enhancers. In order to test the effectiveness of these seasonal items, players will be guided to jump back into Uprisings content. 

We will be opening up Uprisings to all players and make them available at level 10. 

Upon consuming the Experimental Combat Enhancer, players will receive one of three available buffs that will help them decimate their enemies as they complete Uprisings objectives:

• Destruction Overload Buff - Every 5th enemy that is defeated will explode causing a damaging AOE effect
• Czerka Combat Drones Buff - Drones will assist you in taking your enemies down! 
• Unstable Radiation Field Buff - A devastating point blank AOE

A word of caution. The combat enhancers may also give your enemies a buff as well, so stay sharp! 

New rewards will be available on the free and Subscriber tracks. Here are some of the rewards that players can earn.

Cartel Market Storefront Updates

We will be retiring older, lower performing items from the Cartel Market beginning February 26th. Items intended to be removed from the Cartel Market will be added to the “Sale” tab and rotated out on a bi-weekly basis by category. The first Category Sale will be weapons. These storefront updates do not impact dyes. Be sure to check in on the Cartel Market often to see what’s on sale!

Dynamic Encounter Achievements

More Achievements have been added to the Tatooine and Hoth Dynamic Encounters. 

Character Modernization Status

Our priorities after Game Update 7.6 remain: 

• Reworking source assets to address wrinkles and muscle definition
• Reworking textures to fix neckline seams
• Improving textures on vibrant colored species such as Chiss

Other initiatives we are tackling in addition to the above include: 

• Improved lighting for characters in gameplay to better match what’s seen in cinematics 
• Improved lighting in Preview Window
• Additional Species

Players will see the first set of changes when we stand up PTS after 7.6.1 launch.
