IGN Flashpoint Preview: Esseles, The Hammer

Oct 272011

IGN has updated their Beta Info Hub to include a new section on Flashpoints. In their preview they discuss two dungeons, The Esseles and The Hammer. We were especially interested to hear that crew skills play a role in The Hammer:

The Hammer introduces the idea of using player’s crafting abilities to create quicker, less dangerous paths through the Flashpoint. Towards the start of the instance, we came across a drill pointed at a wall and a control panel that could only be operated by someone with a certain level of salvaging ability.

The preview discusses boss fight mechanics, so read the full article only if you do not mind knowing those kind of details ahead of time.

Drawing for Extended SWTOR Playtime in San Diego

Jul 122011

For any SWTOR fans who are willing to make the trip to San Diego, BioWare is offering extended playtime sessions for a handful of randomly selected fans. These play sessions will take place on the evenings of July 21, 22, and 23. Selected players will be able to play either the Esseles flashpoint or the Black Talon flashpoint for approximately one hour.

David Bass posted the rules in the official forums. All entries must be received by 10 am CST on Wednesday, July 13th. Make sure you follow the rules so your entry won’t be disqualified.

As has been previously announced, BioWare had already planned to set up an alternate location for play sessions of SWTOR, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age 2 DLC at the Hilton Gaslamp in order to accommodate fans who were not able to get passes for San Diego Comic Con. Hands-on play during the day is available to anyone willing to endure the long lines, but the sessions are presumably shorter.
