My Chapter 11 Experience (Lots of big pictures)

Post by Bovive » Fri Nov 07, 2008 3:58 pm

I decided to go hit up TC and see what this whole Hoth business is about myself. Unfortunately I was never able to make it there, but I got some screenshots of some of the things regarding Chapter 11 that you may not have known about.

Image

In Chapter 11 you can select your account's age as your player title. Now everyone can know what a real N00b u really are. This particular account is almost two years old, so apparently no 1 and a 1/2 ages going on.

Image

This gives you an idea of the purchased snowtrooper armor stats (minus the SEA I have in it). Unfortunately if you REALLY must have that cold combo bonus of 11 pieces you cannot wear a PSG.


Image

This is the Snowtrooper backpack. Apparently they have not finished the art on it yet, but at least you get to see the stats.


Image

The detail of the snowtrooper armor kind of saddens me. I also felt like I was wearing a dress most of the time.


Image

This is where you purchase things with your tokens. Check it out, the backpack alone only costs 57! If you run a perfect score through the instance you get 9 tokens (Nobody has been able to do that yet). Collectively if you want to get the whole set you only have to do it a billion times.


Image

Ah, perfect tauntaun DNA. Not sure how 90% was ever the equivalent of perfect but hey it's there. At least it only will cost you two tokens. You can also slice it open with a lightsaber and sleep inside of it for an extra +300 cold protection. Nah, but that would be cool.

Image

You enter the instance in Aurilia. It is now snowing inside and Rebels and Imperials take segregated sides of the town hall like a middle school dance. Apparently there are no pre-reqs to be keyed for this heroic encounter. I hope you like standing around though because here is where I ran into problems...

Image

Notice how it says "All instances of this encounter are currently full"? I stayed for 30 minutes and gave up after not being able to get in. Word on the forums is that some people waited for 2 hours and could not get in. Is this a limited number of instances because it is on TC? Seriously, is it? I have no idea. So just like your last date, this story ends in ACCESS DENIED.

Thanks for the pictures.

Yeah the whole "instance is full" thing is sort of worrisome. I hope it's only something that happens on TC.

And Daiho, I *think* portions of the armor are wearable by ithorians, but I'm only like 60% sure of that.
