Update on Story
English voices for Galactic Threads are ready to go! However, at the launch of 7.8, players using a French or German client will be able to play Galactic Threads 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!
Galactic Threads Storyline
After a recap of the story so far, we dove into the events that follow Desperate Defiance. While players have delivered a decisive blow to the Hidden Chain, tensions are running high after Mandalore Shae Vizla freed Darth Malgus from his prison. Players will join several allies as they seek answers to Shae’s betrayal, Darth Nul’s holocron, the Hidden Chain, and the looming threat of Darth Malgus.
Shae Vizla and Darth Malgus leaving the prison he was held in.
Wreckage on Dantooine
A ship of unknown origin crashed into Dantooine’s surface. The damage from the crash caused the ship’s systems to behave erratically, infinitely expanding three of the biomes it was sustaining. With the multitude of flora and fauna that has spilled into the local area, Dantooine’s native environment has been irreparably changed.
The Crash Site Outpost is a new area on Dantooine that level 80 players can travel to and explore. Once there, the GSI researchers are more than happy to request assistance from players in studying and investigating the crash site.
In each area, players will see a number of Dynamic Encounters to complete. As players work through these encounters, they will notice that the respective biomes will level up. The more progress that is made, the faster the biomes will level while also unlocking new encounters. It is not only the encounters that will present challenges for players, but also the biomes themselves. Each zone features an environmental hazard that players must navigate.
Once the biomes are completely leveled, a Master Mode boss will await them. Players are encouraged to work together in groups of four to take on the Orbital Core. While this boss is intended to be challenge, the encounter will become easier over time as players make progress on a new Reputation track that will not only unlock new rewards but also helpful consumables that will give players an extra hand in navigating the encounters in the Crash Site Outpost.
Dantooine Dynamic Encounter Rewards
A plethora of rewards will be available for players to earn as they complete Dynamic Encounters and explore the Crash Site Outpost. Players will earn rewards such as armors, decorations, titles, mounts, and minipets and they can be obtain through a variety of ways. Rewards can be obtained through the following:
• Reputation Vendor
• Completing Encounters
• Killing enemies
• Drops from the boss
• Completing Achievements
• Other vendors
