My Captain... My Emperor.<br /><br />If you'd put a bleedin' option on the dialogue wheel, you bloody pillock. <br /><br />I loved Malgus, and I think this is still my favourite flashpoint. It is the most Star Warsy thing in SWTOR, which sometimes can lack that Star Wars feel. Don't do it much these days, though, because along with The Foundry, I've grown a little weary of it through grinding to get the "Meatbag" achievement. <br /><br />Had a nice reunion the other day, though, playing Hard Mode with some guildies. Jindo Krey came as a bit of a shock. I was used to facerolling it, and it seems to have got hard again. He nearly killed us. I was the only one left alive and only had a sliver of health left when he went down. Something had bugged out with the big gun, though. It wouldn't let me click on it after a while. Oh well, it was all good fun.Guidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882687017712412137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-29244485615249960542016-06-25T19:04:53.354+01:002016-06-25T19:04:53.354+01:00Yeah, even though the original version was a very ...Yeah, even though the original version was a very epic fight, killing him off so soon was definitely a waste of a great character.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-57959982697973544762016-06-25T18:42:00.412+01:002016-06-25T18:42:00.412+01:00I too have special feelings towards this particula...I too have special feelings towards this particular Flashpoint. Malgus is my favorite villain from SWTOR (with Kephess coming close 2nd) and I enjoyed his appearances in the trailers as well as in the cutscenes during the early story development in the game. In the end of the Flashpoint I was extremely disappointed to see him defeated by a group of 4 lvl ~47-48 nubs.<br />Bioware should have left the original ending of the final boss fight...Vulkkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759513529924641583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-79370718887674976402016-06-25T06:00:26.877+01:002016-06-25T06:00:26.877+01:00I've a soft spot for this flashpoint, as it wa...I've a soft spot for this flashpoint, as it was one of the only times I'd healed an instance in SWTOR.<br /><br />And that was not by choice, but because my FP random group decided to try to 3-man it (with me summoning Elara Dorne) and I healed while in a DPS commando spec to supplement Elara. We'd lost our healer who dropped right after the first boss, and while we waited for another healer, we just kept on going.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-24902879681045817862016-06-24T23:35:20.411+01:002016-06-24T23:35:20.411+01:00All part of the insanity. :DAll part of the insanity. :DCalphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809660484854758097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-90730919274775061872016-06-24T23:33:41.646+01:002016-06-24T23:33:41.646+01:00Damn, you're quick, I hadn't even finished...Damn, you're quick, I hadn't even finished my post-publishing typo editing yet. :PShintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-24540786337872666612016-06-24T23:27:50.764+01:002016-06-24T23:27:50.764+01:00Now that you mention it, I do remember actually se...Now that you mention it, I do remember actually seeing the ship moving sideways way back when... I guess I just forgot about it in the interim since the fight got progressively quicker to burn through with each increased level. <br />Maybe this is in some way what causes the ship to occasionally break and not come back in Hard Modes now that they're relevant again today. Wouldn't surprise me.<br /><br />Unlimited Power is still a one-shot mechanic, at least on Hard Mode; when duoing it with that similarly-crazy friend of mine back when 4.0 launched we let it run as a 'test' when we were both at full HP, and we died instantly. <br />Not sure about Tactical Mode, but I imagine that it would at best bring people to the brink of death in an attempt to teach them that it's very, very painful.Calphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809660484854758097noreply@blogger.com
