A big Star Wars: The Old Republic game update without a story is kind of like Christmas without the presents — still quite serviceable but obviously missing something fun. That’s what loyal SWTOR fans will experience today as they dive into Update 7.7: Dynamic Worlds, as Broadsword continues to hold back the story pending the resolution of the voice actor strike when the actors can actually record again.

Play SWTOR for freeOf course, that’s not to say there isn’t anything to do with this patch! Dynamic Encounters greatly expands upon the encounters system by adding a spread of world events on lower-level worlds such as Tython, Korriban, Hutta, Ord Mantell, Coruscant, Dromund Kaas, and Ilum.

Players also can tackle the new master mode difficulty for Relentless Replication, check out the Eras Window to help organize their overall journey, slap on some new skin colors for some of the more alien classes, enjoy some quality-of-life improvements in the mission log and world map, figure out the combat balance changes, and fight their friends in PvP Season 8.

Next on the calendar is the return of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event on July 8th with additional rewards.

The servers went down at 8 a.m. EDT this morning with an updated return ETA of 1 or 2 p.m. EDT.

Update on maintenance server downtime for 7.7 release: We anticipate downtime to be extended tomorrow by an hour and possibly up to two. We'll work to get servers back up as soon as possible, so keep an eye on the dev tracker or social channels for updates.… https://t.co/aaPcwOQpWK
