SWTOR 1.4 NOW ON THE PTS!

Patch 1.4 is now on the test servers! People can test the new operation, Terror from Beyond and try the new features that are added. Unfortunately, some changes that were promised for patch 1.4 are in the current state absent, p.ex. dual-spec, Explosive Conflict Nightmare Mode.

HITTING PTS TODAY, 09/10 I WOULD TRY TO GUESS THAT 1.4 WOULD COME LIVE IN 3 WEEKS, THAT MEANS IN THE 2ND OF OCTOBER!

The Trailer for Terror from Beyond: 

Group Finder Level Recommendation for Normal Flashpoints!

Black Talon/The Esseles: 10-12

Hammer Station: 15-21

Athiss: 19-25

Mandalorian Raiders: 23-29

Cademimu: 27-33

Boarding Paty/Taral V: 31-37

Foundry/Maelstrom Prison: 35-42

Colicoid War Game: 39-45

The Red Reaper: 43-48

Directive 7: 47-50

The Battle for Ilum: 48-50

The False Emperor: 48-50

Kaon Under Siege: 50

Lost Island: 50

This doesn't mean that you are forced to that level range as those are recommendations for each normal mode flashpoint. For example, my level 47 character on the PTR was allowed to queue for Colicoid War Games, The Read Reaper and Directive 7. The daily reward for Normal FP is 5 Daily Commendations.

Preview of group finder for 1.3!

Here we got a preview of the group finder UI that would be introduced on patch 1.3.

As you can see, on the left side are the role that you can fill and on the right the different modes that you can experience. The most interesting part is that the list of the HM Flashpoints that you'll get a group for are, is different from what is now on Live. You can only play Lost Island, The Battle of Ilum, The False Emperor, Directive 7, Kaon Under Siege. As they are only 5 HM Flashpoints that you can queue for, I wouldn't be surprised if the change the loots that you'll obtain from the final bosses and just give a different set piece from each one. Finally we can see that only Denova Story Mode would be on the LFG.

1.3 is going to hit the PTS servers soon, so stay tuned for more infos and insights for the upcoming patch.
