Game Update 5.10.3 “The Dantooine Incursion” Has Been Announced!

Game Update 5.10.3 ‘The Dantooine Incursion’ introduces a new in-game event set on the planet Dantooine. This limited time event will join the rotation of other recurring events in Star Wars: The Old Republic, such as the Rakghoul Resurgence and Relics of the Gree.

With the renewed war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the remote planet Dantooine has taken on sudden significance: its location at the edge of Imperial space makes it a perfect staging area for Republic military ships traveling to and from the front lines. Unable to breach the Republic lines and attack the planet directly, the agents of the Empire have recruited the brutal Nova Blade pirates to attack Dantooine from within the Republic's own territory, catching the planet's defenders completely off guard with the overwhelming violence of their attack.

In the ensuing chaos, elite Imperial forces have infiltrated Dantooine and established a hidden base on the planet's surface, aiming to cripple the Republic's efforts with a series of surgical strikes. The Nova Blades lash out at anyone and everyone they can find; despite originally being hired by the Empire, this brutal pirate armada cares only for the plunder they can claim. Staggered by the pirates' ruthlessness and the Empire's cunning, the Republic's harried defenders put out a call for assistance from anyone who can help them hold Dantooine against the enemy's deadly incursions...

Look for more information about Game Update 5.10.3 ‘The Dantooine Incursion” in April 2019!

From Dev tracker:
Hello everyone!

With the upcoming release of Game Update 5.10.3 'The Dantooine Incursion' we have updated the in-game event schedule. Instead of the Bounty Contract Week taking place from May 28th - June 4th, the first week of the Pirate Incursion will be happening. While this event will be happening for two whole weeks, it will be made up of two back-to-back weekly events.

And here we go with the latest info about the new content especially the rewards and of course:

"Is it only another daily area or a bit more?"

New In-Game Event - The Pirate Incursion



The remote planet Dantooine has been thrust into the center of escalating hostilities between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Spurred on in secret by covert Imperial forces, the Nova Blade pirates have staged an all-out attack on the pastoral Republic world. As the Republic scrambles to defend this key territory at the edge of Imperial space, the Empire plans to capitalize on the chaos and deal a major blow to the longtime Republic bastion.



Event Availability and Requirements

The Pirate Incursion in-game event will initially be available for two weeks after 5.10.3 launches, and then it will join the other recurring events on rotation. Characters level 20 and above can travel to Dantooine and take part in the event.

The Pirate Incursion

During the event, you’ll embark on a variety of both Normal and Heroic Daily Missions to support your faction’s interests on Dantooine. The Republic aims to drive off the marauding Nova Blades and thwart the small Imperial strike team sent to destabilize the planet, while the Empire will do anything it takes to weaken the Republic’s hold on Dantooine. The Nova Blades have one goal: plunder everything they can, no matter who gets in the way.

With war intensifying across the galaxy, you find yourself in a unique position to influence the outcome at critical moments. Once you complete the storyline on Ossus, you’ll find that your pivotal choice there affects certain missions on Dantooine.

If you’d rather take a stroll under the blba trees and enjoy the view of the ruined Jedi enclave unobstructed by pirates, you’ll have your wish soon. You can still visit and explore Dantooine when the event is not active, and you’ll even find a few Daily Missions unique to the peaceful landscape.

Dantooine has more than daily missions for you to discover, of course. You’ll want to conduct a thorough search of the planet to unlock all the secrets it holds!

Rewards

Like other recurring in-game events, the Pirate Incursion offers several unique rewards. To earn these rewards, you’ll need to reach the appropriate reputation rank with the event faction by completing dailies and collecting enough tokens to purchase the items you want. Each faction has a vendor in their base on the planet who sells these rewards:

Nova Blade and Dantooine Homesteader Armor Sets
Ugnaught Companion
Walker Mount
Kath Hound Mount
Kath Hound Mini-pet
Dantooine-inspired Stronghold Decorations



Launch Date
Prepare to visit scenic Dantooine in Game Update 5.10.3: ‘The Dantooine Incursion’ on May 28th, 2019!

Dantooine update delayed until 04th of june.


Hey folks,

Game Update 5.10.3 is being delayed by one week to Tuesday, June 4th. As we were in the final stages of testing and preparation for launch we discovered a critical bug that we need to take the time to address before going live. For context, the issue is that a large portion of combat animations simply stopped working. Obviously, that's a pretty big deal! We are digging into whether it is a systemic change that caused it or just a bad build/version. Either way we want to take the extra week to ensure that we have time to fully understand why this is happening and get it resolved.

This will cause a few timing changes on our end, which makes this a great chance to share those details with you!

Since it's brand new, we will run the Pirate Incursion event twice in a row, from June 4th - 11th and June 11th - 18th.
Nar Shaddaa Nightlife will be returning from June 18th – July 30th.
Double XP will run from June 11th - 18th.
We were planning to do our first Onslaught livestream next Thursday, May 30th, where we would discuss Spoils of War! We are still on track for this to happen and so look for that stream next week. We will let you know if anything changes.


Thanks everyone. We never want to delay an update if we can avoid it but certainly the animation issues are not acceptable to go live with and so we are going to take the necessary time to get them resolved.
