    Can we have a serious discussion about the current state of SWTOR?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    When Anthem releases one of two things will happen:

     

    • it is successful. which means that any staff on that project will remain for DLC/Expansion
    • it is not successful. which means that BW is probably going the way of Visceral.

     

    Either way, the future for SWTOR is either slow drip content or "maintenance mode"

     

    While what you say is perfectly logical, I think SWTOR is giving them enough cash to keep investing in. I mean its Star Wars! I have a feeling it will be around until the contract expires, and will be worked on with a larger team once Anthem is completed.

     

    They are doing not the best - see the conquest changes no one needs.

     

    On the other hands there where no significant story content in the last year - only a little bit story in FPs, no new planet, no greater story update, no new quest hub - nothing for story or single players.

     

    The conquest change was a risk they took, one that did not pay off. But it shows that they are at least trying.

     

    Completely agree on the second part of your post. Hopefully that will improve once Anthem is done.

    Double XP is on for 178 more hours. Grind that CXP!

    Who even looks at that? I didnt even know it was there until you mentioned it.

     

    A quick post by Eric a few days before or even mentioning on the stream would have been better. You know, like a community manager should?

     

    Not only that, but it was added to that calendar today. Would have loved to know a week ahead of time so I could take advantage, but whatever.

     

    Just terrible communication from the team.

    Heads Up - Origin Eternal Empire Pack is on sale for $20 again. 60 days premium.

    Thank you so much for mentioning this.

     

    I am a subscriber. but this is the first time I have seen something like this in Origin.

     

    With the exchange rates from NZ dollar to US dollar this is a fantastic deal.

     

    I appreciate you sharing this and i have purchased this offer through origin and it worked no problem.

     

    however....... I did have a question about the token. That is the only part of the deal that I haven't received. I have done no similar deal previously. do you have any information about this or how it is claimed.

     

    still even if the token doesn't work out. this saved me money.

     

    thank you :)

     

     

    EDITED * ohhh i have just read some of the previous pages regarding the lack of token... I'm late to the party lol.

     

    Great. :(

     

    You are most welcome.

     

    Yep, sorry, the token is a one time only thing. Too bad really, but it is still a great deal on a sub.

    The Importance of F2P and Preferred Players

    in General Discussion

    F2P and cash market was supposed to save the game. But now they’ve broken their own model. F2P or preferred players may not have subbed, but many purchased weekly access tokens to pvp or other activities.

    When Bioware removed those access tokens completely, they alienated more F2P people than there are subscribers in the game.

    Some of the figures and things I’ve read or got from watching things over the years has shown that there were way more F2P and preferred players than subscribers. Bioware were actually making more money off them than subs alone, that suggests that a large amount of money was being spent on the cash shop and I would guess a big portion of that was access tokens.

    The permanent removal of those tokens was a massive mistake IMO and has broken the F2P model they were making money off and actually driven players away from the game.

    The simple solution is to put those access tokens back on the CM. They should also add ones to allow F2P and preferred to earn CXP (that would need to be refined as to how many and how fast).

     

    Well of course there are more F2P and preferred players than subscribers. Still, many of us spend money on the cartel market, and if it keeps offering cool stuff (like HK-55 bonus chapter), we will keep throwing money at them.

    The END of SWTOR

    hi all!

     

    i was just commenting on some official SWTOR Facebook post, when a guy replied to me, that soon, SWTOR might be shut down for good, because EA is moving on to other projects and the devs will be used for Anthem and other games.

     

    Anthem looks cool, i like it, but will they pull the plug on SWTOR?

     

    Anyone know of any sources to confirm or deny this?

    And if it is true..how soon will it happen?

     

    Thanks!

     

    SWTOR will not shut down soon.

    Unless EA loses the contract to some other company, as is rumored ATM.

    If anyone wants a cheap sub deal and a mount.

    Read all the fine print please.

     

    Specifically this part:

    *Can only be redeemed once per 6-month period. Offer limited to one SWTOR account per code. Codes are non-transferable. Players receive one free Outlander character token per SWTOR Premium (Subscribed) account that can be used to create a Level 65 character to play Knights of the Eternal Throne. Plus, you'll get 525 Cartel Coins for the two months of Premium (subscription) game time included with this pack.

    @EA. Just so you know. I'm not spending a dime on Anthem

    After the disaster that was BF2, I ain't either.

     

    I bought the Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition (which I still can't download from the buggy PS Store, and have to use my CD), and I STILL couldn't play the way I wanted without spending HUNDREDS more. Yep. $100 to NOT be able to play like I want, and I don't even get all the DLC! Screw EA, done with all their games.

     

    Very happy they may be leaving EA. Just hope it doesn't spell the end of SWTOR.

    SWTORSHARETHELOVE Code Redemption for Current Subscribers?

    As others have mentioned, the T&C’s imply you will NOT get the 30-days, as it is only for “inactive” (unsubbed) for >90 days. :(

     

    But SWTOR promos are notorious for ambiguity and inaccuracies.

     

    Small window of hope: they also state all rewards are given on Mar 1. I have NOT seen anyone report the extra 30 days, so I assume that means they are also granted on Mar 1. So maybe a whole bunch of subs will be surprised (but don’t count on it).

     

    I actually have three(!) accounts, 2 presently unsubbed (both over 90 days). This weekend, I plan to RAF link, use the code, and actually sub one of them. I’ll report back what I see. But again, likely nothing till Mar 1 (too late for others to act on).

     

    EA is GARBAGE when it comes to all promotions. In fact, any promotion offered due to a "bug, glitch, mistake", or that "was not authorized", will not be honored.
