I picked [sTORY] mode, but i guess it was [VETERAN] anyway.
I reached the final boss (with my level 75 character, gear 306, without set bonus and augments, with level 50 companion), but couldn't kill it by myself (guess it's beacuse of the bugs).
Love the design of the flashpoint. Great atmosphere and decor. But I agree there are too many trash mobs with too much hp. Because of thah the flashpoint lasts too long.
I don't mind the jumping puzzle. It's quite easy (especially with rocket boots).
As for the snipers, it's clear where to hide, but I totally missed the trap. At the end I get too confident and ran using Force Speed. Second later I was falling down, not knowing what happened. But it was a pleasent (and funny) surprise. ;P
