Eternity Vault at Gamescom (Extended cut) - Piree - 08-16-2011 11:20 PM

I was just following Stephen Reids twitter, I don't know how to post a link of the message but i will quote it:

Quote:@Rockjaw @SinbadSTS I am confused. Are you actually going to do a live operation/ boss fight during the press conference?

and he answers back

Quote:@GrandeKesados Yep!

Will we finally see some higher level combat released by BioWare?
Let's hope they do Smile

IT'S NOW!!!

lol, nabs, wiped on the first boss

Indeed, probably did that on purpose, although the fight did look hard as he did a crapload of AOE damage.
Only the last robot was hard, before that, it looked pretty easy.

Yes, the cannons and droids were trash, so they died easily. The XT- type robot was the first boss and they didn't bother healing, so they wiped, yes.

Is that Stephen Reid in the raid? You can see him when they wipe on the lower row further right (closest to us). No wonder they failed Tongue

I dont think most of them had any experience with raids , if i remember right 3 of them are just CMs .

I bet they are saving major infos for PAX Prime which falls on 26 (kinda convenient considering beta weekends in September)


RE: Operation unveiled during Press Conference? - Anubis Black - 08-17-2011 08:50 AM

Let's hope more info is revealed the closer we get to the beta weekends, as after that everything will be data gathering and number crunching.

Speaking of, let's look at some numbers from the video:

Marauder and BH Merc both had around 12k hp (12.3k hp? it was pretty blurry)
The turrets had 48k hp.
The boss had 480k? hp- this one was very blurry as well, but it was definitely a number between 400k and 499k.

I think it was a planned wipe. He'd already explained all the different characters taking part, and they wouldn't want to show too much.

I didn't see any pureblood assassins/sorcerers.
I didn't see any Twi'Lek.
Heck, I didn't see anything except humans now that I think about it.

Also, both of the sorcerers look like they had the same armor set equipped, and I didn't see any numbers popping up for heals or damage.

Ofcourse they wiped on purpose, they don't want to spoil the fight for everyone.
+ they only had 10 minutes to discuss the game, just like the others.

Pureblood arent allowed for SI for story/lore reasons ,in beta almost every combination is allowed to test for bugs.

Devs hinted about Legacy system so maybe SI will be able to play as Purebloods through that

There are some videos though of a guy known as insomniac who appears to be a pureblood inqusitor...
