During last week's Star Wars: The Old Republic Guild Summit, our team was on hand to check out the new Lost Island Flashpoint just in time for its arrival on the public test server today. We've got the inside scoop about what you'll be facing along the way. Read on!

Our press play session began bright and early in the Bioware offices with a good long look at the new Lost Island Flashpoint that will arrive in the SWTOR public test server on March 13th. We were treated to well-equipped level 50 characters and split into teams of four. In fact, the dev team told us that we were actually over-equipped for the Flashpoint though I have to say that it sure didn’t feel that way after about two hours of dying to the MINI bosses throughout Lost Island! As if dying repeatedly wasn’t enough, our pain was compounded by the fact that we were playing on story mode, not even nightmare.

lol at the guy with the flame thrower in the last pic.

That's the Legacy System for you. ;)

Great, they're putting stuff in the game that should have been there at launch, when are they going to put in the stuff that they should put in 3 months after launch? When are they going to fix simple things like tab targeting, getting kicked to the character selection screen when you enter a warzone, ghost missions in your log that you can't abanadon. Customer Service that actually answers your questions and not the automated response. To name a few.

A Sith Assasin with a flame thrower is just so WRONG!

Mind if I ask why? Other than the fact that a Sith Assasin likely doesn't need one.

Why would a Sith who can create lightning put a flamethrower on? That's like if Superman would attach a jetpack. Or Obi-Wan uses a blaster... ok can that. >.<

Why do I have the feeling the Legacy system is also going to screw up several things? I mean come on.. A Sith Assassin has no reason to use a flamethrower. It just messes up the whole concept of the classes if you just make such skills available to every class. Before you know it, we'll have Smugglers zapping and force choking their enemies.

if i could choose what skills all my characters can use via the legacy would be dual-wielding.  sure I don't really want it for my trooper, but since can't rechoose our AC, I want it for my scoudrel smuggler.

Much like that math...  :P

 ROFLMAO!!!!!

I'm not a fan of the special Legacy abilities. It just looks awkward as hell.

That you guys would cheer what should have been in game at launch is some serious bantha poo-do.

I do enjoy reading the positives post about the game. They make me realize that all I need to do is wave my hand and I can get people in the world to do my bidding. Kind of like they have you paying for this piece of junk. This is a jedi mind trick on an epic scale. Funny how Epic Scale and Epic Fail rhyme.

I hate what they have once again done to my beloved Starwars. So throw another log on the fire and let this thing burn.  Soon to come logs= Server merge, F2P, in game item store with Bioware points, Come back promotions like free trails for returning players, etc, etc....

"All that hate is going to burn you up son."  ... "It keeps me warm at night."

It doesnt surprise me really in seeing what BW is doing to SWTOR. I say that because after seeing how they like to trash the canon in Force Unleashed, it became clear they will do anything to make a quick buck. 

There is a difference between making profit and being greedy.

Still on the fence about the whole thing....but kinds think it takes the uniqueness away from your charcater.

WOLVERINES!!!!! =)

Ah... shizzle.

Thats funny stuff.

To a non-swtor player this update actually looked quite good. It's obvious they are taking a shot at stopping the decline in subscribers.
