Update 7.2.1 for Star Wars: The Old Republic Starts New Galactic Seasons and PvP Tracks, Adds 64-Bit Client

Star Wars: The Old Republic got Update 7.2.1, starting Galactic Seasons 4 and PVP Season 2 reward tracks.This also introduces the 64-bit game client, some changes to help the in-game economy, and of course, new rewards. 

The SWTOR team introduced the 64-bit client for testing a while back, with the intention of making it a final release in order to eventually continue to develop for more modern systems. With an over a decade-old game, supporting systems that were running the game back then hampers development to some degree. With Steam having just announced support for older versions of Windows coming to an end (pre-Windows 10), Guild Wars 2 moving to make mandatory DirectX 11, and other games having made the switch over the past year or two, this just makes sense for BioWare to do.

Galactic Seasons 4 is here. “A Passage of Peace” introduces Force-user Amity,who is on a pilgrimage. Amity is a human who was raised by Selonians, and his new journey is one rooted in a philosophy of peace and cooperation. Progressing through the New reputation track will let you gather notes of reflection, to exchange for rewards. Amity is the newest companion, and you can earn other rewards like customization options, weapons, new titles, and possibly even the Mek-Sha Hideout Stronghold.

If PvP is more your calling, then PvP Seasons 2, ”Piercing the Veil” will start.The track this time has a few changes that affect how attacker and defender medals are awarded. PvP rewards can be earned throughout the season by earning PvP points.

Also in 7.2.1 is the first live release of the Credit Economy Initiative. The team announced that  they are planning multiple updates, but because this is designed to help improve the economy, we should expect
