  1. I think we need to be realistic about the amount of work they will put into this. It is hard enough to get them to produce new content, so I expect them to take a relatively simple approach to all of it, especially as they are working on a defunct engine for a game that launched nearly ten years ago. All I expect is that this change will allow any Tech User to access any Tech Advanced Class, with the current weapon/skill limitations that currently exist remaining in place.
  2. I actually think Makeb was better than SoR, because whilst the over all story happening was the same for everyone, the perspective and individual role of the player was different for each faction. And not just slightly different, very clear difference in objectives and missions, even though it was treading across primarily the same maps and mobs. By all accounts it sounds like we are getting something on the scale of Onslaught, which is better than nothing, but I hope that they don't have exactly the same story but with just a different flag depending on your faction.
  3. I have the same issue, in-game mail saying I have it, but nothing in my mission log.
  4. MMOs used to be pay per hour (some were pay per minute), and some in China still charge that way (WoW for example). It was horribly expensive back then though, and I think Chinese WoW is equivalent to about $1 an hour. SWTOR is probably different, given those who have exhausted the content, but most people play MMOs for more than 15 hours a month.
  5. The idea of the alliance is too expensive for them to actually represent within the game itself.
  6. They've really taken this whole "not part of canon" thing to heart haven't they? Really isn't Star Wars anymore.
  7. I suspect they contracted the Voice Actors of the story characters for the two seasons, so keeping Koth, Arcann, Senya, etc alive, is how they save on money.
  8. There are some life/death choices in the original game and ROTHC, but nothing since. They've killed off plenty of important characters too. But since then, the only noticeable deaths have been Revan's second and Marr.
  9. But this isn't how the class stories are, or ROTHC and SOR. It isn't how WoW is, or FFXIV, or EQ2, or any number of other MMOs. And isn't Star Wars about heroes and villains? Why don't BioWare want us to be heroic or win? Ignoring the story for a moment, is it really good business to make your players feel useless, or even worthless?
  10. Not really, whether we had killed Valkorian or not, we would still have been frozen in carbonite and end up fighting against the Zakuul throne. Whether the big bad Emperor is Valkorian or Arcann doesn't really change anything.
  11. Simply put, prior to KOTFE, our character, regardless of anything else, was a Hero. In KOTFE, we're nothing but a tool that people other people use, and even then we fail to accomplish the goals set out for us by those other people. Well, most of the SWTOR team is on other games now, I know some are on Mass Effect, including writers, so maybe KOTET will be better, but I doubt it.
  12. I must admit, I am curious who thought it was a good idea to not have the player be a Hero anymore in the game. This isn't our story, we're not an important character, we don't win or defeat anything, we're constantly betrayed and tricked... it really does feel like we've gone from hero of the galaxy to the court jester. I'm still struggling to understand why anyone likes KOTFE, the idea of it is fine, but the experience has been disappointing. I can't think of any other RPG, online or off, that makes the player character a worthless piece of trash that has zero impact on the story. Well done BioWare.
  13. I don't see how you screwed up, Koth being gone is the best thing that happens in KOTFE.
  14. Class stories are significantly better than KOTFE, you'd have to be insane to skip them for it.
  15. I think that's pretty accurate. The thing that gets me about KOTFE is, I simply can't imagine anyone publishing this story as a book, comic or film. It has some good moments, mainly in the dialogue, but the actual over all story is just dull and doesn't even end.
