What the hell is a "Heroic Encounter " ? I'm just curious as i've seen that phrase used on the Swg forums and i thought it sounded retarded.

    Heroic Encounter= bang a stick on a rock for 2 hours till it breaks.

    Yep, and in a way I am glad, Medic was all I played in the NGE, so this destruction of that profession more or less seals the deal that I will never be back.

    Yeah that is the thread i read it in on SWG . I knew they were nerfing Medic just didn't really understand the "new and improved " lingo they use now.

    Having tried out a few of the new Heroic encounters today all I can say is wow they are awesome. The village is not a rehash of what once was, it pays homage to the past for those who remember it but the chain of quests is all new. The new rewards you can "buy" in the township are awesome, how you buy them is different as well. A new item is bought by turning in tokens you earn with each heroic quest completion, a typical reward would be purchased with 3 of one encounter 2 of another and 1 of a third for instance.

    The rewards are profession specific and like in Diablo II you can build "sets" and as you add another part of the set the power of your items increases. A specific one was a braclet that starts out as a triple stat of +30, by the time you collect all 5 parts the power of each item has increased to +150 per stat per item. Other sets grant things like the chance to have a instant cooldown on a special, or a new ability,

    I can't wait for this to hit the live servers.

    here is a link to some of the new rewards you can get.

    Thank you gutboy, I nearly lost faith in this forum until you posted that.



    Anyhow sifidas in future, if you would like a real answer please ask people that play the game (you can find these in the current forum)

    I hate to be a naysayer, but really, more magic charms?  The least they could have done is not recycled old jewelry skins and design something unique, something "heroic".
