When it comes to Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), there’s always something brewing in the galaxy far, far away. The latest development? PvP Season 7: “Path to Mastery,” which kicks off with Game Update 7.6. Whether you’re a galactic battler or just here for the loot, this season promises thrills, chills, and maybe a few plasma burns.
What’s New in PvP Season 7?
Let’s get straight to the point—PvP Season 7 brings some intriguing tweaks and shiny new rewards. Here’s what you need to know:
Smaller Squads, More Intense Matches
You can now group with up to 4 players, instead of the previous limit of 8. Tighter squads mean tighter strategies. Oh, and no more coasting by with overpowered level 75 gear bonuses—they’ve been disabled. You’re on your own, champ.
Season Duration
This season runs for 16 weeks. That’s plenty of time to ascend the ranks, grab some glory, and claim your prizes.
Weekly Objectives: Choose Your Path
Depending on your status as a Free-to-Play (F2P), Preferred, or Subscriber player, you’ll have a slightly different experience:
- F2P/Preferred Players: Receive 4 weekly objectives.
- Subscribers: Get 6 weekly objectives.
Everyone can complete up to 4 objectives per week to progress on the reward track. This means you’ll need to plan your galactic adventures wisely—whether you’re flying solo or leading a squad.
The Rewards Galaxy
Seasonal PvP rewards are the stars of the show, offering everything from stylish armor sets to unique emotes. Here’s the highlight reel:
Titles and Emotes
- Legacy Title: Pathfinder
- Meta-Achievement Title: Seeker
- Character Title: Master of Paths
- New Emote: Honorable Bow (Yes, you can flex on your foes with class.)
Armor Sets
Whether you’re hunting bounties or leading the charge, there’s a suit for you:
- Plumed Scout and Trapper Armors on the reward track.
- Feathered Ranger and Huntmaster Armors available through vendors.
