1.7 million voices cried out in terror… when the SWTOR Guild Summit live stream was cut last Monday.

But fear not!

Our crew were hands on with Update 1.2: Legacy and are here to take you behind BioWare‘s closed doors.

Flashpoint: Lost Island has only been seen in small glimpses until now; we give you the lowdown on just what you can expect, from the guys who have actually played through it.

The new User Interface was taken for a spin and passed with flying colors, even drawing comparisons to Rift‘s popular UI.

We reveal the price to get your very own GTN — you’ll need to break the new guild bank — as well as some of the convenient goods you can pick up from your friendly Legacy vendor.

Strap yourself in as Darth Hater‘s Justin Lowe, Massively‘s Larry Everett, and Ed “Taugrim” Park join Gary Gannon to lift the lid on the Jesus Patch.

…i feel like i’m watching a condensed version of the last republic episode….i’m not going crazy they already discussed these topics…. right?

  We couldn’t talk about the flashpoint nor the PvP content during the Repbulic.

This legacy system just seems … weird

A combination of “complicated” and “trying too hard.”

Great Info! Thanks for all you guys do.

NOT a fan of non-Force users getting Force abilities. AT ALL.

This new WZ sounds to be similar to LoL Domination.

It’s gonna take a crapload more than a free weekend and “Promises, promises” from Bioware to encourage me back to the barren, devoid-of-life worlds of the Old Republic.

They should have focused on 10 worlds, not 20, and done a job equivilent to their Mass Effect and KOTOR bretheren in building a universe that draws a player in as escapism entertainment, along with gameplay entertainment.

Love the additional content in the form of Breaks and these great Q&A’s, though I agree with the critique that we could use some more B-Roll for Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR, not just Mike B PvP etc…

Does anyone else worry that having one character with every buff will seriously unbalance PVP?

Just one more push to get me to un-sub from TOR. After the stupid “trolling joke” at the end of the live steam and the follow on BW posts that it was just a joke. Now to see the lifting of a NDA and additional information coming out. While I understand BW need to control the release of unannounced features, but to troll your live steam audience is close to unforgivable.
