While subscriptions are not the only revenue stream for SWTOR, they are an important source of revenue. There is probably a magical minimum number of subscribers required to keep this game afloat financially. I fear that as KotFE wears on and new story content is added too few and far between, even the story-lovers will ask themselves "Why am I continuing to pay a monthly sub?" I think KotFE was a last-quarter-2015 cash grab, and as far as what happens after that ... it's not that BW/EA doesn't care ... they simply lack the foresight and wisdom to project the long-term outcome of their short-term thinking.

[hi-jack] Once new group content arrives (lol), it will be interesting to see how BW explains the presence of 4 or 8 or 16 different Outlanders in the flashpoints/ops that will certainly be incorporated into the story in some way. After all, this is epicBWstorytellingwhereeverychoicematters. [/hi-jack]

The problem is the un-optimized engine, not your philosophical rambling.

No one controls anything. Conquests the most absurd and poorly implemented thing in the game. So much guild vs. guild potential in the idea, but amounting to what?

Those aren't the real sentinels/marauders. They are alts of smugglers/agents.

THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS. KotFE is a giant reset and ALL of us who are playing now are completely irrelevant to EA/BW.

A message to all you BW apologists: Go away and never come back.

'Mericuh.

That's not the point. The point is that by recapping the class stories, they are creating the illusion of information and content, while delivering very little.

Dont need recaps of the class stories. Stop regurgitating old information to fill the void created by your complete inability to communicate relevant information to the community.

That was the thought exactly, with no pod race, no Darth Vader. Thank goodness.

I just had a terrifying thought ... Have not seen Phantom Menace for at least 10 years so can't remember ... Does Jar-Jar in anyway have any influence on the fact that Anakin joined and/or won the Podrace? I shudder to think the answer is yes, but would like to know the plot detail. Anyone see where I am going with this?

Hi BW, please post here and update us on this issue. Or what, you're not allowed to? Sad.

ROFL, +1 BW, the info existing subscribers need is this: What in KotFE warrants our continuing subscription? If you MARKETING GENIUSES don't have a ready-scripted, official company line on this, then YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
