  • Jesse Sky Details Nightmare Mode Explosive Conflict Differences

    While we may still want Nightmare Mode for the Explosive Conflict Operation, it is still a ways off. To bide the time however, Lead Flashpoints and Operations Designer Jesse Sky took to the forum to add detail regarding the upcoming mode. 

    Allison Berryman

    I asked Jesse Sky to tell us a little about how Nightmare Mode is going to differ from the existing Hard Mode for EC. He said that the numbers have been tuned up in every fight, and mechanics in every fight have been modified - in some cases, there are new mechanics that players will have to learn. The differences aren't extreme, but they present new challenges in every boss encounters, and the rewards are much more appropriate for the difficulty (unlike in previous Nightmare Modes). 

    For the thread in full, hit the official forum.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic's Game Update 1.3 is coming and more details about it come out each day. We were fortunate enough to get some questions answered about a few major SWTOR game systems from a round table of BioWare developers. No specific details on Explosive Conflict's Nightmare mode or Open World PvP yet, but we hope we hear more about new content during Darth Hater's coverage of E3 this year.

    Gamespot revealed a new flashpoint trailer: Taral V, intended for players level 32 or higher. Your Republic team must rescue an important Jedi prisoner. Gamespot conducted an interview with World Designer, Jesse Sky. When asked about the game's state, Sky said, "Development is going very well, and were all happy to be heading into our homestretch." For our take on the contents of the Flashpoint Taral V Trailer, check the media gallery below for the Working Dissection. Note: As always we will be ignoring things commented on in past dissections. We will be adding more to the gallery over time so make sure to keep checking back throughout the weekend. If you see something that you think we should add, feel free to comment on it and we will credit you for the find in the image.
