Is there a community/website/app somewhere that helps you look for someone to raid with? Its nearly impossible to find a group for some of the older ops in general. Thanks

Its bee na while esince Galactic Seasons ended and for the last three weeks (since I got back into the game a bit more again) only the one boss instances are available. Is that intentional, are SM OPS just not rotating at all untill new galactic season? Why? And since im complaining, why cant we just have all the SM OPS on the group finder already, do you know how many people want to run them but dont have the patience to sit in the fleet and just look for people? Why even have the "operations" option in the group finder if it does nothing.

Yep, all of this sounds great, would love that too

Well of course that voice acting is expensive, nothing new there. Doesnt really answer the question. That being said swtor is still very popular and financially successful, not to mention that there are far more voice actors available nowadays than in years past, I feel like this should be less and less of an issue as time passes. There are games that add content on a more frequent schedule and it is meetier as well, if voice acting truly is the only limiting factor they should invest into finding a way around it, like the datapad quests and such, but even if you take voice acting into consideration I still believe that there should be more. Tho, 48 for player character alone? That doesnt seem right, we have 8 classes, with 2 genders per class so thats 16 voice actors unless im missing something Are you including companions? Because those havnt had a lot to say in a long time.

As an optional thing mainly. It would have been cool to have this during the kotet/kotfe times but even now for the task force nova it could be easily added through story. I actually thougt that this is what you were aiming for with the Zenith recruitment chat, like a prelude to adding it, but just in case you are not, it would be a great idea. Giving us something to keep an eye on, a way to get some resources, use for companions we dont use in combat, but most importantly it will provide a very easy way to add more lore and state of galaxy information, we could also get reports from our companions in forms of letters which would save on voice acting and give us the option to answer with different text sent back, again no voice acting needed but it would still let us roleplay. This could be incorporated into events too, like giving us more targets during bounty hunters week, or letting companions take care of some that we dont want to, same with Ragkhoul event and such. And while we are at it these missions could have difficulty and we could level up and outfit our companions through and for this system, since gear they normally wear doesnt matter anymore. You could potentially use this to add side quests for our character as well, we already get some quests through datapads and droids and such and this would at least still allow for some manner of interaction and with like post quest breefing even more lore, letting us see the outcome of what we did. It feels relatively easily doable and it would work well for many players

I think so too, I will give that a go. And thanks for people who updated this thread, its honestly quite awesome to be able to find these in one place like this

How do you mean? All the returning romanceable characters do have these. Or do you mean being able to romance a companion from another class story? Or completely new small quests to further the romances? I dont get what you mean by missing out on them, but many are possibilities later on, like light side Jaesa for the sith warrior, elaborate for me please

This has been a requested feature since pretty much the begining of Swtor, I still do not understand why it cant be done. Give us the option to replay the vanilla class quests and redo conversations with our companions, the decisions need not be carried over of course, for that you have your main/first playthrough but for sake of just wanting to see it and play it again id absolutely love this and I dont believe it would be so hard, given that we already have chapter system with Kotet and kotfe.

Its understandably hard for the writers to keep up with the ever growing reactivity to our decisions in the game, I always had an issue with how many important characters, includin our companions and romances seem to be just completely absent from the world after their quests are done. I still retain that a system where you can talk to them in your apartment or on your ship or base in the Kotor like conversation window would do a lot for this issue, keeping them a part of the universe and it would cost relatively little, adding a few lines every few patches for them to comment on and such, but I genuinely enjoyed the way that Onslaught and later patches use the ambient and out of conversation dialogue. Dont get me wrong, I know its nothing new to the game and its nothing revolutionary but I genuinely expected that post the traitor storyline Theron for example would be basically cut out of the story seeing as he could be dead, a fate worse than death as far as story is concerned in swtor, but not only that they did give him a few lines with Lana in certain scenes but he and Lana got quite a few more during random parts of the game, reporting stuff and just generally being present. Not to mention the use of it for small explanations and details. I really hope that this will continue to be a thing, in the vanilla and if I remember correctly on Makeb we had companions comment on stuff when we neared an important place but that simply ceased to be later on, I would love to see this brought back. The general increase to quality of writing post the traitor ark did help quite a bit as well. Guess what im trying to say is, please look into ways of keeping up with stuff through relatively cheap means like these, the in game mail is another great option, sure its just a small letter but it acknowledges what we did and it feels great to see that, ambient dialogue and the use of the kotor like dialogue for content outside the main story would also be great to see. Its better to have them this way than not have them at all. Looking forward to Legacy of the SIth a lot

I enjoyed Onslaught quite a bit, it was imo a returnto form in terms of storytelling and writing quality (not that I didnt enjoy Kotet and Kotfe, but Iokath was terribly designed and traitor arc terribly written imo) but there was very little of it. In general terms, id like to ask, have we ever gotten and explanation as to why it seems to be so hard to create content for swtor? The game is in a good state in my opinion and new players have tons of stuff to do but when you compare the amount of content added in a patch or even an expansion with any other mmo it is jarring, swtor expansion is basically like FF XIV major patch. I assume its because of the engine and lack of resources but do we actually know anything more specific? And outside of that, any closer info on the size of the new expansion? The gameplay changes it adds seem to be quite extensive and will be fun to play around with for sure, but what about the story content, side quests and endgame? Do you think that swtor will ever create "expanion sized" expanions? At least like Makeb was for example?

This would a be a great piece of content, well thought out. Would love this.

Another good way to bring her back, yes please

Yes please, this.

Happy to see you are all still enthusiastic about SWTOR, just like we are Hope we get to see many more of these anniversaries and a lot more of what you have planned for us in the future Happy holidays and all the best into the next year for all of you and swtor

This, yes please, wheter or not it fits into the story at this point doesnt matter, we moved on already but there seems to be so much you wanted to do with Kotet, with swtor in general and its mostly finished but never got released. Pretty please, release it.

FF XIV is getting better and better, I dont play it too much but even I gotta say the things they are adding are awesome, Shadowbringers has a kickass story and all but this new game + adition is something I wish swtor would take from FF XIV above all else. Option to replay story and cutscenes from previous expansions, so far its only main story but they plan to add other major storylines. Leveling in swtor is relatively easy and with today's xp rates you can, for the most part, only level with the class story missions, but still being able to go back and play as your main character would be amazing. Add to that the option to replay all companion conversations, something that is sorely missing seeing as how easy it is to miss dialogue even if you are using esc (stupid blackouts), and this would be almost as awesome of an adition as gsf was for example. We already have the structure of chapters and ability to replay kotfe and kotet, please add the same for rest of the old content and make older raids soloable for sake of story please (withou the loot ofc).

Absolutely, thank god for this thread I have played swtor since the begining but had no idea this existed. I remember playing through this mission, no clue why its locked behind some checkbox now. Seriously, why?

Been here on and off since Alpha, I only ever uninstall swtor when im clearing my comp, but I always come back to it eventually. At least once a year when there is actually new content

Its not fanart, I dont think it is at least, but it is fan creation and a very good one at that

Its true, both of their relationships are somewhat downplayed, and I understand it during the story bits on Ossus, its not like they had a different instance scripted for JC, its just a few additional lines. You can also argue that she wouldnt want to betray their secret of being in a relationship and all that, on top of being more mature and unsure of where they stand. However this is only magnified by her indiference in the Alert. She mentions Aliance and how she wants to help make galaxy work together like we do here and thats all, doesnt say what she did past years, doesnt talk about looking for us and is seemingly very apathetic to us suddenly coming out of the grave, especially if you are her husband it just seems jarring. She was totally willing to let the conversation end without talking about their relationship, that just doesnt seem like Nadia at all, not unless she didnt care about it anymore.

True, but her Alert, together with the behavior in the Ossus storyline makes it seem even less like she was excited to see us. Before JC asks what about us, she is about to leave and seemingly wouldnt have brought up their relationship at all. It was just quite jarring. And her stuttering answer, saying that she wasnt sure he still felt that way, really came out more like an excuse than actual reason. Moreover the alert is barely romantic, I had to look it up on youtube because I was sure its nearing the end but nothing has been said, I was genuinely affraid that my choices got messed up somehow. The alert plays out identical except for the 5 lines at the end if you are in relationship. I dont mean to lessen anyones enjoyment of Nadia being back, maybe I am justs oversensitive, but especially considering I just finished the JC storyline again and jumped into Ossuss as soon as possible, I had it all fresh in my mind and Nadia just seemed not like herself much, sure she matured but that hardly explains it, not to mention she herself says nothing about what she was doing these past few years. She just came over as uninterested and way too much on the ball with her husband being back from the dead and all that, after so much time. Dunno im just troubled by her willigness to just ingore the romance outright if not straight up asked by JC with no prompt whatsoever. Maybe that is just me.

Im super happy to have Nadia back, I actually replayed the whole consular story to be ready and have it fresh in mind. Super glad that they are finally back, justu a few more and we will have all companions back. That being said, I was probably the most dissapointed with Nadia's return out of all the companions. With her being included in the story I thought there would be more interactivity and during the story it was fine but her alert was really odd to me. Like she totally looked like she moved on and until JC brought it up at the very end I wasnt even sure my choices carried properly and that I have romance active with her, because it looked identical to what she would say if there was no romance. Her reaction to finding out her husband is alive was also very underplayed imho, just in general, the romance only had three lines at the end of the alert, otherwise its the same whether romanced or not if im not mistaken She didnt even tell us what she was up to, or that she tried to look for us and didnt succeed or something, like all the other companions do, seriously as much as I adore her and her VO did amazing job, she imo looked like she totally moved on. She seemed more excited about the romance with her female master Maybe thats just me.

Just so I am clear, if I wanted to make a boosted Sith Warrior only to check out LS Jaesa alert, its not possible right? As SW is by default dark, therefore Jaesa would be dark.

I recently replayed the JC and I rather agree. She does come across as a little bit of a sex bot, or a holo I guess, but she is still very likeable and the dynamic would be very interesting, I can totally see this turning out to be absolutely hilarious if ever pmplemented

Lovely, thank you.
