Hello, fellow forum user.
I know that there were a few threads about swtor stories replaying function, but I wanna ask about new expansion and let me explain why.
As far as I remember, there were a lot of functions that hadn't been implemented in the game until new expansion has arrived(for example, robes falling through mounts etc.) because there were other priorities and the core game was already done without an easy possibility to implement that stuff.
However, I've played a new expansion and there a lot of progress was made. I saw a lot of improvements and fixes(like that robes/mounts problem I've mentioned earlier) and I understood that devs really want to bring this game to a completely new level.
So, it's a new content that is not complete yet. And because of that it's easier to put a new feature in the game(new expansion, to be correct). That's why it's the best time for "replay" feature in-game appearance. And let me explain why it would be such important function:
There are limited slots for characters per server/account. So if it's a great story and you are enjoying it(like I did ME2, for example, over a 20 replaying) you can't replay it as much as you want. Each character is unique unless you will create a clone army which is problematic too cause each character requires interface tuning, clothes/mounts finding(which is impossible if your favorite mount is old enough that there is no anything like it in GTM). It takes a lot of time so you won't be able to do a lot of replays because you'll be already tired by making new characters and leveling them up. There is no possibility in replaying your favorite moments, you just need to replay the whole game. It takes so much time that you don't want to do replay at all. And so on.
There is already a "Play" button and checkpoints for chapters. Please, bring the replay feature into the game, it won't crush character 60 slot item selling in CM cause this feature will give you only a possibility of replaying the new story content, not a new character with another class, race etc.
All the best,
Jeanosis
P.S. If someone wants replay feature too, please, help to add arguments for it or simply say the word. That'll increase the possibility that some devs will read this and will give an answer.
