Since 2.7 is on PTS, are the Space Jockey packs up as well? If so will you be releasing the video previews soon as well?
- Dulfy
  
  They are not up on PTS. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing it for a while since there is still no release date yet
  - Devolus
    
    Ahh darn, another quick question. When on the PTS, do you have unlimited CC to use to purchase the packs?
    - Dulfy
      
      Nope, the cartel market isn’t active on the PTS
      - Devolus
        
        Ahh, how do you get the video previews before the packs are released on Live?
        
        Dulfy
        
        I don’t have video previews before the packs are released on live, all my videos are made after the packs go kive
        
        Devolus
        
        Oh derp. Guess I never pay attention to when they packs are released then hehe. I always come here before even thinking of buying the packs.
        
        Dulfy
        
        Packs tend to go live exactly at 9am PST or noon EST. I usually have videos up within about 3 hrs of them going live if all goes well. The only time the cartel market was active on the PTS was back in Oct 2012 I think when they were testing out the cartel market and gave everyone some free coins for testing.

    Could have sworn I read that drop date was April 7th on the 2014 road map dev post.
    - Dulfy
      
      You are probably thinking date for patch 2.7, which is not related to the space jockey pack
Rondowar

(When) are you going to put up some guide/gameplay of the new wz?
I know quite some guildies would really like to see that (and I can’t upload anything really untill the weekend :/)
Cornboyz

What time/date is the 2.7 patch expected to come out?

Targaryens in SWTOR!?
empire fan

dulfy I have to know. Is there a republic version to this new flashpoint or is it Something for the empire only?? ( It would be nice if it was Empire only imo )
- Alex G
  
  It’s both Pub and Imp. Imps attack Tython, and defend Korriban, Pubs attack Korriban, and defend Tython. The story that plays out with them are pretty impressive.
- iceberg265
  
  Why would it be nice if it was Empire only?
  - zenight
    
    I for one would love more Black Talon / Esseles FPs.
    In which you do the exact opposite of what you do on the other faction.
    It really bothers me that all Ops are basically the same thing but with a different starting reason.
    I would love different mechanics or different order of events based on faction.
Alex G

Hey, Dulfy, have you/will you be recording the Pub side cutscenes for the flashpoints?
martin

wow 8 mails. expired items from GTN? 🙂
martin

wow, so it begins. in the producer’s roadmap, they were talking about a new storyline that will span all year and finish with a dramatic end. will revan involved? end of war maybe with the empire defeat? they were also talking about an announcement at the end of the storyline, I wonder what that is.
Areneth

Hmm… First story without visible ending… Thats why i still like BW 🙂
- Josef Tauser
  
  I know right; say anything you want about the games, but Bioware knows how to tell a great story!
Dravyn

Seems fitting, A Prologues to what may come after our dabble with NiM. I do like this story line, intriguing and almost like a smoke cloud. Our judgement is clouded, is Revan involved or has the Emperor returned to lay claim to his throne? Time will tell, I have always liked BW’s ability to draw a player in.
- Alex G
  
  Agreed! So many possibilities. (even though I know none of my theories may not be right.)
JHKG

Is the dialogue exactly the same for every class in the instances there with Arkous and Lana?
The only uploaded videos I’ve been able to find has been made from an inquisitor class, from the empire i.e
- Dulfy
  
  Mostly the same with some minor adjustments (like change dark lord to something else )
Ernost

Hmmm….presence writhing in the force… Abeloth?
- Bill
  
  Abeloth would be awesome storyline!!!
SirRobinII

Are the Flashpoints leading to a new operation ?
yep

When is 2.7 being released?
- HellzChump
  
  April 8th
Vyrtek

There is totally gonna be a new ops with this story. HAS to be
Amaroq

Are those new hair styles I see in the videos? Hopefully you won’t have to pay to use them after you paid to unlock them… at least not for subscribers… can anyone on the pts confirm if these are infact new hair styles (and other customisation options I’m assuming) or am I just really really late on this? 😛
- Dulfy
  
  Not sure if they are new but they are not available for players yet.
  - darthmanwe
    
    It’s a new hairstyle on Lana beniko, as well as a brand new eye color and makeup, yet they are not available as dulfy wrote. Theron shan also supports new hair, new cosmetics.

The Republic is going to regret the day they ever were foolish enough to attempt a siege on Korriban. They have, as they always do, underestimated the power of the dark side!
- Haggardbr
  
  BRING IT ON you ugly sith! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
  - Hugo A Sanchez
    
    Too bad the republic doesn’t hire Bounty Hunters or I would be glad to help. Oh well..
    - JedixJarf
      
      As long as you dont roll rateds on your merc anymore lol.
    - D V
      
      The Republic does hire characters of questionable ethics as their own privateer operatives though. They’re a different… class.
Kaellan

A basic question on SWTOR terminology. Is a flashpoint the same as a WOW instance and operations are their version of a raid?
- Dulfy
  
  Yup you are correct!
- Ernost
  
  Yes, but these particular flashpoints are tactical flashpoints, which are more like WoW’s scenarios.

Imperial Korrealis KL-9Z SE dropped from last boss in Korriban Incursion (first run).

This “Story Line” brought more questions than answers.. I completed both the Republic & Imperial Quest Lines. I am Fully aware of the 2 parties involved with the attacks, but it’s the end of these story lines that leave me to question. If this was “Part 1”, (1) How do you continue to story line, how many parts will their be. (2) If they haven’t released the second part, how long will I have to wait for it.
- AceOfDymonds
  
  Part 2 will be coming in a subsequent patch, they said that this storyline will play out over the rest of the year. Not sure if 2.8 is going to have part 2, since that’s the Stronghold expansion patch, but I would guess 2.8 or 2.9 is going to have something to continue it along.
  
  They’ve said they’re going to release another RotHC-sized expansion around December, so I would guess this arc is going to mainly play out and conclude there, with bits like this leading up to it.

Update 2.7-does anybody knows the size of patch in Gb?????????
- TW
  
  I’d say it was around 0.3GB

Grand Acquisitions Pack …got any info on what exactly has a chance to be in it? I know its stuff from last pack. Does that mean ALL armor? Or a select few?
- Pantronic Oversoul
  
  you get a complete armor set (boxed) plus a few items, “chance of a super rare” blah blah. IMO, totally not worth the CC… especially not if your armor set is a “republic huttball away uniform” as mine was.
  - SLCPunk
    
    I was wondering exactly what sets, what items, etc. Because from what has been posted in gtn, it is about 8 different sets. And that leads me to believe they selected just a few…
