As a core KoToR fan ... and given costs of the story driven (special voiced) content ... I'm going with the following suggestions for the future to keep SWTOR shining ...
1 - expansion content ... like past expansions full of voice acting and major plots tied to "Your story"
2 - episodic story (monthly/quarterly) ... no special acting for this and not tied to your story (tho could use this for additional content story tied to companions) ... sorta like KoToR 10, 11 etc being rolled out ...
3 - Non-story tied companion variety ... ie: just interesting and varied companions to collect and that could group with you expanding the class options by race/sec etc.
4 - Active and aggressive AI in the static world and in particular, and / or as part of the planet control mechanism. Players should have to respond to massive AI incursions and counter-incursions ... this would also engage opposite sides for pvp. While I'm at it ... the days of static npc's standing around spread around map are long gone ... they have a purpose and/or are tied to a camp or event ... just filled map with npc is just weak and immersion killing at this point. see ESO for the benefits of trying to address this.
- day/night and more active weather ... immersion immersion ... oh did I say ... immersion!!
Here's to the future!
