When EA first announced these class changes I thought i would finally get to combine the classes. My sith would wield the power of the force through lightning and saber. Like the iconic characters can. Instead we get this bastardization on WOW specs. Wait let me hurl lightning i just need to change specs or crap i am in a group running a dungeon cant do that. Now its a mess. I bounce from spec to spec because i am unable to decide what will be fun for now. (personal problem I know but read on) Playing a juggernaut running through a sorcerer story makes no sense at all the story line is completely different. To this day I have never under stood why the DEVs though it was remotely normal for a sith or jedi to be able to do only one thing. They have telekinesis or they dont. They are experts at wielding the light saber or they are not. Do they understand the lore at all. All force users have basic expression of the force the have to master (except Renn) before they move on to other expressions of the force. Why does a sith not have telekinesis but only lightning an ability many sith could never master. Why is an ability like lightning equal to the jedi force pebble power. The weakest of sith and jedi used the lightsaber as an expression of the force because they could do nothing else. Or sure they got really good at it but they cant tear a planet from orbit and drain it of life with a light saber. The strongest Jedi or sith dont need a lightsaber its the tool of the beginner could they use it yes and very very effectively but why would they. The sith emporer blocked the almighty Arcanns light saber with a casual effort and mocked him while he did it. That is true force power. Finally why does a lightsaber not instantly kill any thing the jedi or sith strike down without proper armor or energy shields (and this is contingent on the force wielder) why do we have to play wack a mole the light saber in this game the lightsaber isn't a weapon that burns as hot as a star its a club you use to beat something to death for 2 minutes before you move on to the next victim The DEVs should have e designed ability acquisition starting with light sabers and moving to greater and greater expressions of the force. They should have used the a talent tree to express for game purposes the roles they needed in game and refinements of various force abilities including light saber combat I submit to you the best jedi tank is the jedi that can create fields of force no weapon can penetrate. The best sith healer is the healer who can protect his minions from direct assaults' with you guessed it telekinetic force fields . They should never have created any other class except maybe actual Mandalorian as in cannon they would have been the only non force users who can fight a force user. There is a reason the galaxy has been at war for thousands of years. The force user are the dominant power in the game and the hate each outher each believes their use of the force is the correct use. .. SWTOR is the greatest missed opportunity to play an actual cannon type force user of all time. The DEVs then and now should hang their heads in shame and retire. This game should only feature force users and the other classes are only sideline things you play for variety because in truth they are nothing next to the force user. Its why they really don't matter in the galactic scheme of things. If was a youtuber I would add this. What do you think did the DEVS miss the mark all those years ago or am I wrong . Leave a like and comment as it helps me with the YouTube algorithm thats the only way my content will get noticed.

lol yes i guess i am a bit late sorry

thank you

i re subbed just after dropping WOW. I will go back to WOW or ESO or some other game a I am wont to do over time but i was thinking now would be a good time to do SWTOR again. I was wrong nothing has really changed since i stopped about a year ago to play ESO. I am frankly out of ideas. The time of MMO is coming to an end. Since WOW has the newest expansion try that just keep in mind the reason i am not playing the new expansion is they always go through a giant session with the nerf bat for months after they release. I find its best to wait it out so you dont get on the roller coaster of disappointment when you favorite class goes from omnipotent to "balanced" multiple times.

When they mess with the way gear and stuff is acquired its because they have run out of ideas for keeping you playing. If you recall in general when a game comes out you play the game you get a reward for doing something. Then at end game you run a dungeon you get something or a piece of something to get a reward. Then it rinses and repeats but only if you have fresh new content. If you don't have fresh new content you have to think of a way to get people to run "hammer station" over and over and over again. So you make convoluted changes to the way stuff is acquired. Same boring content (wasn't boring at first but after 9 years....) but a new way to get ugly gear with a slightly better number on it at a slower rate. This keeps you running the same hammer station over and over again and since its ugly your forced into the store to buy the good looking gear. they make money you get nothing. Guys/ gals its time to let this game die.

i am not; i was hoping after a year or so away they would have actually developed more and deeper world building. They have not. Their new system of powers is a complete bust from what they were trying to accomplish. I was hoping for a few months of slow play. I find that i have burned through the "story" and again running the same old flashpoints for something called tech this time, that dribbles out. WOW is unleashing an expansion that involves a new part of the world completely fleshed out. This hasn't occurred in SWTOR in years. This is where EA/DEVs should realize the money isn't there and shut the game down and release the IP so that maybe just maybe someone can build on the ruins of this ash heap. (it was good it no longer is such is the way of things but in their greed they wont let go so that something good might actually grow) Stop buying ingame crap that adds nothing to the game. If you truly love starwars and not pixels let it die by not purchasing in game store items. We may not get another starwars game but maybe we will and it will be better then what we have now. Before you tell me to bug out and play WOW I play all video games I have subs to many many games I and those like me have a unique understanding of what is good as a game in general. I am not caught up in the cult of this is my game leave it alone. I only seek fresh quality experiences from what is available. This is actually becoming a problem for most of the games I play but it is very profound in this game. Please lets let this one die.

you misunderstand I have done all that. I am talking about the new content it seems to be nothing more then one long dungeon with the occasional cutscenee

is this what constitutes content for this game now one big long dungeon run. is this it please advise.

i just tried to change load outs during a flash point you cant. So again this is not something i would have expected. I want to be able to switch from force power sto lightsabers like true jedi. I have to say Ea has complete messed up since the very beginning how jedi and sith function . Ultimately this is why i only give this game a af ew months a year. It is a complete failure when it comes to playing starwars. Id there any other MMO out there for starwars fans who want to play jedi and sith correctly

i can see that and it is a good point but i just don't think this was the mark they were aiming for

I have returned and will be here for a 3-6 of months as WOW winds down but i am finding the new load outs redundant I already have enough characters that play each roll combining them does not seem to be benefitable in fact it falls into the arena of confusing. Now i have to have different gear on the same toon. I can't believe this is what they intended when this was though up. I thought there were trying to create a cross group of hybrid style toons. This just doesn't work and is a horrible implementation of what ever they had in their heads. I will attempt to play the game normally each toon specific to the role i created and ignore what a mess they made I am certainly not alone in this thinking and I hope that EA will quickly undo the mess they made if at all possible. Also is htere no new content?

this is where they messed up big time. All it does is kill alts if you activated it. Most of my gameplay, such as it was, comes from alts.

Not what i expected I thought we would have some hybred play When i messed around with picking a new combat style I killed half my alts When i changed my playstyle the game just threw all the abilities onto the hot bars I will need to spend considerable amount of time resetting my abilities to match my hot keys and then do so with each additional combat style that i s\wish to use on my single toon. It looks like we may have to buy loadouts Each toon will need 6 load outs if you play to max all of this will add about two hours to game time that with the story gives us 4 hours of game time Good thing its free Not what i expected and not playing. I liked the trailer that is about it. MMos in general seem to have hit a hard wall too expensive to maintain or create new content so they all seem to be recycling stuff to get you to buy ingame stuff and sub. I think we are seeing the end of the traditional MMO I have been playing Skyrim and using the massive amount of mods that add so much to that game its new with every play through. So I know creative people exist. Just not in the big name studios. My thoughts as a long time off and on player of many many MMOs and RPGs starting from the early 90s.

Have the devs mentioned when they will continue the story

i get it i just thought i would broach the topic and i will note in the final battle on caorrila (sp) they called them green jedi
