So I recently returned to TOR after leaving shortly after launch. I was pretty disappointed with the game a few years back, and figured I would never return...but then I saw the new KOTFE trailer. After watching that masterpiece I was literally moved to start playing the game again. I finished my sw and trooper storylines and really enjoyed the 12xp perk. I'm working on my BH now and looking at some of the new content, I have to wonder if this game is going in a new and potentially amazing direction?
I felt like the game had a bit of an identity crisis when it first released as a single player story/ mmo, and focused on the mmo side too much. I know it seems odd to say an MMO was focusing too much on the multiplayer, but let me explain. WoW is the paradigm that most of us view mmo' through, and SWTOR certainly fell victim to this initially. Open areas with mindless clusters of mobs that did very little to feel like more than a theme park full of punching bags. But now it appears we may have something different. A game that focuses primarily on amazing stories with multiplayer as a desirable, but not mandatory option. The solo content(beyond just the storyline) appears to point to that. I for one would love to pay for new TOR story with the continued story as a reason to keep subscribing.
