Do you think the game is coming to an end? No, not at all. In fact I'm having more fun on SWTOR now than I have had in any mmo. My only complaint is the lack of class specific story.

I just finished watching the livestream, and since musco said to keep giving feedback I decided to throw in my 2cents. SWTOR is the only game I subscribe to, and I don't mind throwing some extra cash at Bioware for a cartel pack if there is something I like/want. Last time around I was lucky enough to get all the Malgus pcs in like 5 packs. This time however I used up pretty much all my cartel coins on some obscenely high number that I too embarrassed to mention for the unstable lightsaber. I still haven't seen it. I got a whole lot of crap I don't want and will try to sell on the gtn, but I have a feeling most people won't want it either. I also got a WHOLE lot of those other packs that give you a chance to get something from ALL the packs. Thats my biggest complaint. I want something NEW, form the NEW pack thats why I bought the NEW pack. I don't want a chance for some lame mount that I won't be able to sell on the gtn, because no one wants it. I really wish I could get my cartel coins back now. This is stupid and unfortunately I will have to stop buying cartel packs until you stop doing this.

Personally I am pretty happy with kotfe. I am one of those that wanted more story and am thrilled that we got it. I understand others want more group content, and thats totally understandable, and I have a feeling we will be getting something. But since bioware is refocusing on story, I would really like some CLASS story back. One thing I loved about SWTOR was that I could play over and over again. Swtor is the only game I have multiple max level alts. I typically HATE leveling, but the class stories made it all interesting for me. Now with kotfe though, we only have one story. So I am happy you are giving us story back, but I think you missed the mark a bit. I think this could be fixed by giving us a few class specific quests here and there like you did you Rishi would be ok. Or maybe a full chapter or two for class only?

Giving us new content every month is too long a break? Really? I remember playing WoW, perhaps the biggest MMO out there and going over a year without anything new at all. Seems like 4 weeks is pretty damn sweet.

I am really disliking the lack of voice acting done in the Chapter IX daily missions. Chapters I-VIII were very awesome and I loved them, and then suddenly I am taken back to KOTOR style text. It just feels off.

Not sure what or why, but after a few thousand (slight exaggeration) times of trying it finally worked. It was pretty annoying as it took about an hour or so. Hopefully what ever it was they will fix is soon.

So like the title says, I hit play but get sent to the fleet. I've relogged many times, exited the game totally a few times, but nothing. I have been a subscriber for a while now, got all the other little gifts, like the blasters, coat, mount and companion, but am not able to play the first Chapter. The first I hit the play button I did get the new cinematic, but thats it. Is anyone else having this issue? Are there any work arounds?

Against. If they had an optional toggle I would be ok with that. Or perhaps something that would do it while you were on a particular quest. But an automatic mandatory lvl sync is a horrible idea.

Marr is my favorite NPC too. I hope we see more of him in future cinematics and quests!

I hope they make it optional as well.

I think it could be ok for the reasons you mentioned, BUT it should be optional. Personally I HATE mobs. I think they distract from the quests and objectives (unless they are the objective). When I get to a level that I can leave the planet, I usually do, because I don't care about he xp from mobs or the quests really. When I get to max level, I tend to go back to finish up quests because I know I can plow right through annoying mobs or just ride right past them without aggroing them. And occasionally I like being able to help out people that are having trouble killing things. And not everyone wants to play their A game all the time. So its great that some find this to be positive, but I would wager the majority of players see this as a negative thing. I hope the developers notice this and work hard to make it an optional thing.

Just throwing my 2 cents in. I agree that Level Sync is a bad idea. I go back to lowbie planets so I can over power mobs and enjoy the quests without having to worry about them. There should be a toggle option if they are going to throw this in. Mobs make a great way to get extra xp, so for those leveling it great, but not when you max out level and go back for fun. Hopefully they will make this optional.

Just watched this IGN reaction vid where they interview some Bioware guys. I like the spoiler they give regarding how the xpac story starts, but then I thought, "What about Darth Marr??" He is easily my favorite npc in the game and I hope we see a lot more of him. Here is the video if you want to watch it:

With a refocus on Bioware type storying telling, will we be getting more class flavor or will this be Makeb again? I want to know whats going on with the Wrath now. Where does he fall into the fold now. Sure Darth Mar seems to respect him, but without the Emperor backing him, where does he play into things? How about Darth Nox and his role as the Head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge? One of the best things about SWTOR was its classes stories. In fact this is the first MMO where I have max level alts and thats only because the class stories made the game fun and replayable. I'm happy for a focus on story telling, but want to continue the already really good story lines.

I would love something like this, but 50 is way too high. I mean, honestly I feel if you have a max level character on both sides, thats enough. I LOVE the class stories, but get so bored seeing the non-class stuff. I wish all MMOs would do something like this.

I am very happy to hear that they are going back to focus more on the story, but I do not want a Makeb/SoR type story where its just Imps or Pubs. I want class stories!!! The little bit of class flavor we got in SoR made me so happy. In fact I got my Sith Sorcerer lvl'd to 60 shortly after getting my Sith Warrior there. It really does add a whole new level to the game. I understand that there are voice acting costs and things like that to consider, but I really do believe that the original game, with the 8 different solo games all combined together under one MMO, is what made SWTOR fun and unique. I remember skyping with a friend that also played. We would normally game together but we were both so into our stories, wanting to get to the next chapter to find out how things would play out, that we didn't even talk while on skype. I get that its an MMO so things like flashpoints and all that are an important part, but a lot of us that love SWTOR love it for its stories. So PLEASE bring us a whole lot more class stories and for Imps, more Darth Marr. That dude is too cool! lol

I know this has come up before, but in light of the new xpac and class quest(s), I really hope that they bring them back to the game. Not simply as a 5minute side thing, but as a major attraction. I have friends that say SWTOR is just a WoW clone, but I have always argued that SWTOR is unique because it gives you 8 different stories. When 2.0 came around and we only got 2, I found I played the game a LOT less often. I understood that the voice actors were pricey and it was likely not to happen, but I always felt that was a huge mistake. HUGE mistake. I think they realized this and thats why we got the little class story quest in 3.0. And I loved it. It made me feel like I was playing a certain class again. Honestly though, it wasn't enough. The one class quest was like eating one potato chip. I want more. I hope it won't be an entire xpac until I get them either. Adding in a few class quests every other patch or so would really rekindle a lot of peoples desire to play this game again. Just my 2 cents.

I agree totally. The entire reason I love SWTOR is the story. They need to do this for subs and they need to add more class content. Not only one 5min (if that) quest per xpac. I want LOTS of story content. I know it won't happen, and I was THRILLED with the 1 class quest we had, but this will get subs and keep subs. Its needed.

So after a year off I decided to come back and play through the sith inquisitor story, having done the sith warrior story a year before. IMHO, Ashara's whole story was bad. REAL bad. Why did she even listen to me to begin with? Then after I killed the jedi she just goes, "oh ok... I guess I'll just call that ghost you wanted to chat with" HUH?? Jaesa's recruitment on the other hand felt epic. Having her fight me and make her give into her emotions. As a Sith, I wouldn't tolerate her at all. Wish I could get a collar like Vette had and shock her every time she spews Jedi crap.

If they don't continue with class stories I feel they are hurting themselves. I normally HATE leveling alts because the replay value in other games sucks, but the eight unique story lines in SWTOR makes it not only less painful, but also enjoyable. The more alts a person has, the more likely they are to buy packs from the cartel market. If they insist on only making faction side stories, then they will start to see fewer people leveling alts. Many people have said it before, but the story lines are what make this game unique and fun. I REALLY hope that chapter five sees a return to them.

I totally agree with this. I think SWTOR did the player base a disservice with Chapter 4. Many of the players enjoy this game so much because of the class stories. I really hope they add class stories in for Chapter 5. If they did, I would have a reason to play through Chapter 4 on more than one character.

SIGNED!!! I'm new to the game and one of the... if not THE major draw to the game was the story for each class. It adds replay value and a reason to level other classes that I would normally not touch. Taking the easy route out and making a single story that all classes have from 50-55 is not going to make people happy. SWTOR should improve things it is lacking in, but should keep its strengths strong. Devs, PLEASE add a Chapter 4 to each class story!!!
