Whatever floats your boat I say. I recently re-subbed to play KotET myself. I enjoyed the story, a little irritated at the RNG aspect of GC though.
As far as class specific stories, sadly, I think that ship has sailed and it isn't happening.
I wouldn't have a problem if the packs die and everything went direct purchase. I've always thought that would be the best approach for the customers but it probably isn't favorable to business. With these changes to the packs, direct purchase might be the better business move. Will have to wait and see how the packs sell I guess.
A business trying to make as much money as possible. Oh the humanity.
Seriously though, they need to make money to keep the game running and continue development.
Who knows why they think this is the way to go. My speculation is that they are not hitting financial goals with Subscriptions or CM sales. Will this change help? Doubtful but it might drive down price of GCCs which are ridiculously overpriced on the GTN right now.
Well I found some challenge. Vaylin's Spirit with a Madness Assassin going along with screwing up and releasing old boy locked in the box. Good times.
Err. Not sure where I got Madness from, it was Deception. Either way a lot of kiting finally took her down.
I don't know about that. I believe there is quite a few places they could go with the story. Ultimately I think it will go back towards republic vs empire but something major would have to happen to shatter the alliance unless they go with a 3 way struggle. There are plenty of options there in my opinion.
The game is story driven in my opinion. I don't see the problem with having that part of the game be easy. You can cripple yourself to provide challenge is you so choose to. Run without a comp, ect.
