There is a 0.01% of this happening but the only chance we have is Disney gives them a lot more resources and a huge budget, maybe funds to switch to a new engine; like I said, tiny chance of that happening. I don't get why Disney is sitting back and letting this happen as it could hurt the brand. I would have stepped in at 4.0 If I had the license, I would be involved in all aspects of its diversification. Owning the Star Wars IP is a huge responsibility
-
the dailies are fine IMO, and I agree with the others about making the weekly 10 missions
-
As I was doing dailies on Onderon, the renown xp rate seems super slow
-
Have they said how many bosses and if they are going to release them periodically? Sorry, if this old information
-
Everyone complaining that there is no news on 6.0 for this year... what do you think a new storyline is? that would be 6.0. which is coming this year. everyone chill lol. and as always there is always more news to come out as we get closer. and you know they can't give you every detail on everything coming out, since it is subject to change. and if that happened (which it would) you would all riot
I took it as the story thats coming this year will be the prelude to 6.0 and coming early next year.
-
First, I would like to say, great news for PVPERS.
it sounds like were getting another prelude to the expansion like SOR in the Fall. which means shouldnt expect 6.0 this year. I do wonder when we will start getting details about 6.0. this also confirms one thing based on how I read it, we will be getting new planets.

Keith,
I just watched a Podcast you did with "Bad Feeling Podcast". In that podcast you say about raids that you would like to be able to release a full raid and release one like you did with the Gods op, releasing one every 2 months or so. You also, say that you will know more about if and how you can do this by fiscal year 2019. Does this mean that you are releasing a new OP this year or in 2019?
https://badfeelingpodcast.com/
25mins in on Episode 190.
Just to add on. Did you mean you want to do something similar in 2.0 where you released a full raid like SNV and released one boss like TC on makeb? Could you please maybe clarify, Keith?

From Reddit:
Roadmap
- Fiscal year ending and Keith is busy with meetings which delayed the roadmap.
- Keiths first time as a Lead Game Producer (April marks a year since Keith took over from Ben) so this fourth quarter stuff is new to him.
- Keith intends to have published a yearly overview of whats happening and have quarterly ”roadmaps”.
- This ensures players gets info from the Team and not via data mining
PvE
- New Flashpoints and Operation in 2018
- New augments are for Master Mode players & do not affect class balance
- Keith understands people want a full new operation at the same time, and not occasional bosses
- The item that is rewarded form Izak won’t be available in the Cartel Market.
- Wings will continue to be PvE Exclusive, no reskins or CM variants.
PvP
- More Warzones/PvP Activities
- Adjustments for Skank tanks are coming along with changes to utilities
- New activities for PvP not only centred around warzones
- Looking at new gearing options, expertise in the discussion
Conquest (with Eric initially instead of Keith)
- Changes due to rewards bug an to enable guilds of different sizes to compete for tiers of rewards.
- More QoL changes, Solo vs Guild contribution, Guild Leaderboards
- Tiers of planets, ”big” plants have higher tiers to gain rewards (hinted at high point req. for personal reward)
- Objectives gives you credits, experience and CXP, the Conquest Rewards are not finalized
- Cleanup on how Conquest Points are Rewarded
- Conquest will be random, this is due to how crafting weeks have enabled guilds to craft loads the week before, Keith prefers less preparation.
- Lots of repetition of what was posted in the Conquest Update thread around SH giving bonus etc.
Others
- Story in future focused Republic vs Empire and returning companions
- More Guild activities
- New Augments will use existing materials, hinted towards materials that costs ”millions”; which could mean the Charged Matter Transubstantiator.
- Galactic Command is a secondary source for gearing, not primary, that isn’t intended to change going forward
- A ”6.0” is what they would like to do, that would mean a significant content gap prior to it.
- Direct Sale of CM Items is working very well and will continue
- Credit Sinks are in the conversation due to inflation
- Subscriber Rewards will continue over the next few months
Can you or someone clarify if he means a new operation after gods and will it be a full operation released this time
- Fiscal year ending and Keith is busy with meetings which delayed the roadmap.

Are you kidding me....Look at his post...notice the last part of it... how the content for 2018 will be like 2017, so no - no new expansion. Sorry...i am gonna laugh at those who were dead certain there will be, I had my doubts, and now I see I was correct. Not that this makes me happy in any way.
Eric, what happened to the annoucement before KOTET that "players like their story chapter in big bundles instead of monthly ones"? Are you guy seriously making the story for a whole year in 2 FP's? So around 5 minutes?
they are laying out the plans for a 6.0. At this early stage, they should know if it's going to be an expansion or just a normal update
-
thanks for the roadmap and excited to face izax.
my only question is 6.0 going to be an expansion like SOR, ROTHC, I don't need details, just a simple yes or no would be greatly appreciated
-
Like the title says. I know the 3 wounding shot rotation is optimal but I can't remember it and keep messing up. if there's an easy and simple 3 wounding shot rotation, I might give it a try but I am more comfortable with the 2 wounding shot rotation.
-
Maybe I don't understand why people say it is late its still is winter and winter ends on March 21. So I say its on time if it's released in February
-
first off, thanks for the update Keith, it's much appreciated and looking forward to the 6.0 details.
I would like to talk about some of the concerns in this thread. Some people think 6.0 will be light on content. Remember this is Keith's real first year as a producer, from January to December, it's all him (no pressure Keith). they do the planning for the whole year in January so just maybe the second half of 2017 was still Ben's idea and Keith had to go along with it. With the refocus back on group content. I hope 6.0 will have a fair mix of group and story. I read somewhere that the Knights' storyline was originally supposed to be a three-part expansion but due to the criticism of KOTET they had to scrap that idea and come up with something else. they had to retool their plans in 2017 and just maybe they will surprise us in a good way in 2018.
-
Honestly Yilliaris, if i were you, I would wait until the winter roadmap is released and decide if its enough to keep you subbed. This roadmap will tell if this game either have a bright or bleak future. the roadmap wlll also confirm if the article is true
-
Keith has hinted an expansion coming out sometime, Although it is a very vague hint. He said "So I will leave you with, not commenting on expansion plans. You'll have to wait to hear about that!" The fact he said anything about an expansion leads me to believe there's something coming out, otherwise, he didn't have to say anything at all. I believed they will announce it in the summer but in light of this article, I think they need to say something in the winter roadmap to ease everyone worries. Yes, It is a very vague hint that may not lead to anywhere. Keith, if you are reading this please say something if there's or not going to be an expansion in the roadmap and not lead us on.

I also have Cerebral Palsy and my left side pretty much dead. I can only use my index finger on my right side. What helps me is auto run and mapping the buttons close by to rotate the camera so it turns when auto running. it has been working for me so far, I can keep up with people. I do ops and I used to be on a progression team as a main tank and dps. I'm not saying its easy to do for everyone has a disability. As you said each case is different.
-
Regarding MM Tyth, I would honestly rather them wait to release MM until the full op is released, that way we can do boss after boss and it would retain players into that content.
-
Keith, good job on the roadmap.
my only question is, are you going to release Master Mode of Tyth when you release the second boss? Or releasing Master Mode on all bosses when the full op is complete?
-
I've seen many of them! I realize the clock is ticking and information never comes fast enough. In the meantime, I'm ensuring the Roadmap is solid and expect it will address many questions, but not everything. Yet, hopefully, we can have additional dialog to provide clarity for areas of concern.
Thanks for the continued communication, I do have a question but maybe it would be better to ask in the actual Roadmap thread? Will we see more group content after Gods of the machine is fully released on a regular basis? I am not talking abut just operation content but PVP and Flashpoints.
-
Does anyone feel they should wait to release master mode until all five bosses are released?
-
Thank you for the clarification, it is good to see this feedback from BWA's side.
These changes don't do it for me, but as I said, good luck, and I'll likely check back with 6.0 to see if the game is more what I enjoy, and doesn't just lead to frustrations due to my perceived personal horrid RNG luck (which I don't foresee ever getting better).
Um. they are bringing back loot tables in operations so you can gear up that way as well.
-
There should be lots of options of ways of how people want to gear up.
1. remove RNG
2. Have tokens drop that you can turn in from every few levels like every 7 levels or something.
3. put the tokens back in op bosses for people who like to do operations and it will be a faster way for teams to gear up for harder content.
Overall GC is a good idea for people who play casually, there needs to be a way for people to get gear guaranteed and ways for people to gear up faster.
-
GC is not a bad idea, Just the RNG side of it. GC is great for people who play casually. One way to fix the system is to have unassembled tokens drop every few ranks and make it legacy. That would solve most of the issues I think. They also need to increase CXP in some areas
-
They can keep the GC but why not have a tradable token drop every 7 levels. that way it will give us something to strive for. According to my calculations, it will take 294 ranks to be BIS. it is not the ideal solution but it will make it more bearable

How realistic would it be for Boardsword to pull off an FFXIV 2.0? the story seems to be going for a reset. I want to be hopeful but there are doubts
