SWTOR information gathered thus far from various sources

Now back to SWTOR!


Does anyone know how drops will work in Flashpoints? I know in raids you each get your own bag of goodies filled with gear you can use, but what about in flash points where there is 8 different ACs and almost every AC can only use one type of weapon?

In fact, the only ACs that share the same weapon will probably be Jugs and Mauraders, they'll share 1h lightsabers. Sorcs will also use lightsabers, but they'll need 'caster' versions of the lightsabers, where as the Warriors will need 'melee' versions.

How will they handle weapon drops in Flashpoints or from world drops?

I guess they can make it so that Flashpoint bosses only drop items appropriate for the current group make up?
Or they can put every gun and every sword as one category. So if a lightsaber drops, then it'll automatically become a melee version if a Warrior loots it, or a double edged if an Assassin loots it, etc.

*NOTE: This is how I have come to understand it but I very well could be 100% wrong*

From what I've come to understand, Flashpoints AND Operations both drop loot from bosses like other games but in Operations (and maybe flashpoints) there is also a loot bag that is given out that has a chance to drop something off of the boss' loot table or a AC based loot table. The loot bags are meant as a supplement to the standard dropped loot, so you still have a chance of getting the blaster you need even if the bosses have been dropping force-user gear for 6 weeks straight.
Also, the lightsabers themselves have very little stats, it's the modifications such as focii or crystals that you put in them that tailor them for your AC, i.e. a Shadow and a Sentinel can use the same base lightsaber (I believe they are called hilts) but the things the put in the hilt will define the stats that the saber gives them.

pretty sure loot bags are just operations. if you watch the dev videos upgrades and armor and such drop from bosses in flash points and they are just rolled on.

Posted this on the official forums, only to have it quickly consumed by the General Discussion gods. Maybe I should've used a more provocative title. I thought I might have some better luck here.

So I've noticed that many of the class trailers are using outside music; I was wondering if the denizens of the forum could help me identify some.

So far I've noted that the Trooper Progression used "Sons of War" by Two Steps From Hell, and the Consular class video used "Protectors of the Earth", also by TSFH.

Some of the videos (particularly the older ones) seem to just be using the game/movie soundtrack, but I can't place my finger on some.

In particular, I was wondering about the Smuggler and Bounty Hunter class videos, but any insight into the music from each class trailer/progression video would be great.


FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE:

Knight
Warrior
Consular Protectors of the Earth
Inquisitor
Trooper
Bounty Hunter
Smuggler
Agent

Knight Progression
Warrior Progression
Trooper Progression Sons of War
Bounty Hunter Progression

Old Bounty Hunter Progression

Anybody know any of these?

Hey all, I've been lruking this forum for a while now (since page 300 I believe) and I promised myself to finally get an account after page 1000! So not only do I say congratz on the 1000 pages but also, came to say hello. Thank you for all the info, it's absolutely amazing and has fueled my addiction for this game. I would also like to ask if my signature has broken any rules or regulations due to size and such. If it has I'd like to know how I can fix it up a bit. Thanks, and may the Old Republic be with you!
