Looking pretty darn cool. I have a feeling this will come out shortly after the Galactic Moon Festival is over with on Nov 7th (or at least I hope). Gotta get the snowtrooper armor so I can sweat my butt off on Tat haha. Btw if you need your snowtrooper armor deconstructed and built with sockets and capped cores (~10) hit me up.

Do the rebels actually get to fly snowspeeders? as in atmospheric flight? If yes, then along with the vehicular combat this could lead up to some pretty epic battles in the future (not that the hoth instance won't be epic). I'm picturing WoW style battlegrounds with about 30 people on each side. I'd resubscribe the day those type of battlegrounds were announced.

From what I understand they get to fly the speeders and we get to man the AT-STs

Only the Imperial version of the instance is on Test Center so far. As of now, It'll only be a PvE instance, but the option of making a PvP version should definitely be explored.

The Rebel version will feature pilotable Snowspeeders, but it's not clear how it will work. As far as we know, they will be flown using pet toolbar commands or something.

But yes, the instance looks promising. It's nice that we'll be able to get tokens for finishing individual objectives rather than completing the whole thing flawlessly. There will also be a "Wampa Valley" portion apparently.
