Flash Points in Star Wars: Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMO game created by Lucasarts and Bioware. The game is set about 600 years before the original movie series takes place. Flashpoints are similar to instances in SWTOR. They provide a place where players can group, fight, and have fun while gaining valuable combat experience. Bioware has stated that there will be many flashpoints throughout the game. The article and the video also state that there will be many cut scenes and player interaction.
I am interested to see how the cut scenes are implemented into SWOTR. Games such as World of Warcraft (WoW) have linear instances where you kill a boss, loot the corpse, rinse wash, and repeat. I am hoping that SWTOR will be more excited and have a better storyline in Flashpoints. SWTOR will hopefully benefit the success of WoW by implementing aspects that players have come to enjoy, one of those being the shear competitiveness of getting good loot. This would encourage players to raid more.
Since Flashpoints are similar to the dungeons and raids of WoW, I wonder if there will be 10 man + raids. Players can group in huge armies to take down a very powerful boss, and get very rewarding loot. I trust Bioware will do a good job designing their own custom “instances”
Bioware and Lucasarts have a large chance to compete with modern day MMO’s such as WoW. The game has gone through a long development process. I am glad to see that players have a choice whether to level solo, or with a group.
