Lovethebeard Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 That KYD, Korriban Incursion, Assault on Tython and the new flashpoint coming in 2.9 will be converted to Hard-modes for 3.0? Or will we never see a HM for these awesome flashpoints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidelicatessen Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It would be nice... With all these tacticals and the addition of Bolster to ALL THE THINGS, I think EAWare is heading in a direction away from challenging content. It's too bad, because the best content they have is the challenging stuff. I'm sure they can bring in more money with "click X to win", however.

It's too bad, because the best content they have is the challenging stuff. I'm sure they can bring in more money with "click X to win", however. I think there's a difference between having it set up so there is a version of things that is easy enough for everyone to see (which is probably a good idea since they've made group content like Flashpoints and Operations necessary parts of the main, ongoing storylines) and "heading in a direction away from challenging content." NiM Operations are still around and being released for those looking for challenging gameplay (and even Hard Modes aren't Bolstered). And while I agree that they've gone a bit too long since we last saw a new Hard Mode Flashpoint, I think OP is right: they're just holding back on them until they raise the level cap in 3.0 so there are enough level 60 (presumably) HMs ready to go, the same way they held back on HMs for Hammer Station, Mandalorian Raiders, etc, until 2.0.

MillionsKNives Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Both Czerka FPs came out tactical first then HM followed after. The HM was released along with the tactical version, they were not in separate patches. And while I agree that they've gone a bit too long since we last saw a new Hard Mode Flashpoint, I think OP is right: they're just holding back on them until they raise the level cap in 3.0 so there are enough level 60 (presumably) HMs ready to go, the same way they held back on HMs for Hammer Station, Mandalorian Raiders, etc, until 2.0. This is my guess as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Even if they did make HM versions, they'd be the exact same FPs. I'd rather they spend their time making new, not tweaking old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this is the case, but it is a reasonable theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they weren't so secretive and they could give players something to look forward to other than housing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Even if they did make HM versions, they'd be the exact same FPs. I'd rather they spend their time making new, not tweaking old. They should do both really. I love the old stuff like The Foundry or False Emperor but I have no reason to run them nowadays, as far as Commendations are concerned and PUGS are just way too painful at times... Yet another drawback. Again, tweak the old and craft anew. Edited May 29, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
