Do you though? Because 6.0 was the expansion with the least complaints before it. It was more like that the vast majority actually was OK with it. Before 5.0 (and Galactic Command) though, yeah, there was quite some outcry.
I remember that. I was actually one of the people very happy with the 5.0 changes.
And now it seems the tables have turned. Oh well...

I mean, it's literally what being a double agent/spy means.
It's just not what most of my saboteur characters had in mind when they decided to join the opposite faction.
Traitors and turncoats often find themselves in such a situation.
-
Same date as the expansion.
Thanks!

I've enjoyed the Saboteur storyline thus far, but until we see what the conclusion of that storyline is it's hard to say whether it's worth it or not. It is more fun than just being a loyalist lackey however.

When does the next one begin? At the same time as the new expansion launches or later?

Look, in theory, I agree. Dead is dead and I mostly prefer people to stay that way. But not here. Not when they’ve criminally wasted a character on such a terrible story beat like that. Plus its not like he got a lightsaber ran through him. I wouldn’t see it as impossible for him to have survived Iokath. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of non valkorion characters survive worse. Didn’t we get stabbed by Arcann and just shrug it off? And just because one side gets resurrected doesn’t mean you’d HAVE to do it with Acina too. She’s clearly not as big of a character. I mean was she in the cinematic trailers for the game? I never even heard her name until KOTFE. And what would Jace not wanting to work with you have to do with it? You could have him as an enemy for those who killed Theron 🤷🏻 He doesn’t have to appear as a friendly face for every class and character. And besides, he doesn’t get to decide who he wants to work with… he’s a soldier. If the Republic tells him to do something, he does it. I’m sure he wasn’t too thrilled to be asking a Sith Lord who has murdered thousands of his fellow soldiers or the Bounty Hunter who slaughtered the Chancellor for help on Iokath either, but his superiors forced it.
The Outlander only survived that killing blow because of Valkorion. Also, I would argue that despite Malcolm appearing in comics and trailers Acina is actually a bigger character than he is in the game itself. And you don't bring back a character if half of your players are not even going to encounter him - that would be just a waste of resources. And if they brought him back as an enemy then that would mean we would just have to kill him again. Again, what's the point? Bringing him back would be too complicated because of his ties to Theron (who is also dead for many players) and Satele. Not to mention he's already been replaced with General Daeruun.
-
For me it's more like "will I still like this game after 7.0"?
But I am looking forward to the Life Day Event!
-
Dead characters should stay dead (unless it's a powerful force user like Valkorion, etc). If Malcolm was brought back from the dead then they would have to do the same with Acina. I liked Malcolm as a character but I guess the reason why they haven't brought him back is because of his relationship with Satele and Theron. Would he even want to work with the person who left his son to die and tried to kill his baby mama twice (optional)?
-
Agreed. like I said in the original post, the only time in recent memory I can remember my toon being cool would be the Arcann fight in KOTFE. Also, killing him in KOTET looks cool, I think, haven't done that in a while tho so I'm not sure. The Malgus fight can be cool too I guess. But we get far too many things like Senya tossing us aside like a wet tissue so she can fight Vaylin... That one still bugs me
I agree. The player character should have boss immunity at the very least in cutscenes. I'm also not a fan of how they have been made to look like a complete and utter moron in the last few story updates. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has made me lose interest in SWTOR. If the next story update is as bad as the last few have been I won't be here for the next. Enough is enough.

Currently Legacy Stronghold Storage only has 7 bays and at least for me they're all full. So my suggestion is making more bay's available for purchase.
-
I think it's a little unfair on the Makeb front. Republic side Makeb is my favorite side of Makeb and I'm not a fan of Saresh, but why should she care about those people?
They didn't want to be part of the Republic until they felt their lives were on the line, ignoring the Republic the whole time, only for the Rep to find out they knowingly lied.
It may be harsh, but the Republic owed them nothing and it for sure isn't a charity, even before Saresh took the lead.
Because the Republic is supposed to be the good guys, right? That means doing things without ulterior motives, because it's the right thing to do and not because you want something in return.
-
In the last story update your Sith character couldn't even manage to kill one measly Jedi. I've lost all hope that it's going to get any better in the future.
-
Truth is they've been killing this game for solo players ever since the focus sifted to group content a few years ago. We'll see how that goes for them.
-
I admit I was also disappointed. One of the main reasons I still play the game is because I really loved the class stories and all the expansions until the Eternal Fleet was destroyed. After that it just hasn't been the same. I was hoping this 10th anniversary expansion might be different but it seems to be more of the same as far as story content is concerned.
-
I hope so. He's one of the only true Sith Lords left.
-
Has Anthem been canceled yet?
-
It's currently -20 where I live.
I'm always wrapped in a warm blanket when I'm home. I also wear knitted wool wrist warmers all the time. Hot foot baths might also help.

(BTW, this argument kinda becomes void if you simply consider the idea that after all the trouble you've caused him, the Emperor and his followers may not be willing to even pretend to be nice to you. And/or with the Emperor's newfound youthful cockiness, he may not think he needs to manipulate you and would rather just cut to the chase.)
If that were indeed the case, then at least there could've been different dialogue options for the player character to at least propose an alliance with the Emperor, even if Tenebrae rejected it and behaved as you suggest. Instead of the same generic autodialogue lines that every player character has now. Being able to control MY characters actions and behavior is the only thing I care about.
Anyway, it sounds like you are getting... emotional. So perhaps we should simply agree to disagree and move on.

I thought it was implied that he was indeed at full power in Echoes. Possibly stronger, given that he could manifest three versions of himself. He just lacked the wisdom of his later incarnations.
No, that's not true. His original body has been destroyed as well the two more advanced forms of himself. This version of Tenebrae is merely a wisp, a fragment, a damaged spirit that is merely holding on to existence. When we encounter him he's still in the process of "rebuilding" himself (which is probably why he doesn't have the wisdom or memories of Vitiate and Valkorion) and comments it's taking a lot longer than he anticipated. It's like Tom Riddle in Chamber of Secrets - a very young version who does not have the experience or wisdom of the older version but is still very dangerous and powerful.
Considering the story that would've suited MY character (at least my dark-sided one) best if he was capable of beating the Emperor alone would be to single-handedly dominate the entire galaxy with no one to oppose him, which would mean that we couldn't have any further game, I don't think this is much of an excuse. That's the problem with a constantly-updating MMO like SWTOR. They can't make you so powerful that you'd break the story, but at the same time they can't make your character willing to make decisions that would get them killed.That's a bit of a stretch and a poor counter-argument. What I have talked about in this thread and the suggestions I have made wouldn't make it impossible for the game to be continued. All I'm saying is there should've been different options to how you want to deal with Valkorion. Allowing the player to join forces with him only to be betrayed by him and forced to kill him alone wouldn't break the game. And again, if you feel that option would make YOUR character too OP then simply don't do it.
-
The game still assumes one is with you, at the very least for T7, as he's part of the cutscene when you fight Vitiate, and neither on Voss not on DK is Vitiate at his peak, in both cases he's weakened, which is why the PC can defeat him. And in the case of the SW he himself wants the SW to kill that particular Voice.
Just like he is in EoB, which kind of proves my point, no?
You can free them thanks to the holocron, and you didn't consume their power, Valkorion did. Then the PC has the advantage of being in their own mind, and anyways, Arcann and Vaylin both help you fight Valkorion, whether you killed them both or not, so you are NOT alone.If they were simply freed why would they still linger around by the time of EoB? We also have to take into account who the player character is here. If it's the Inquisitor then they absolutely did consume Arcann and Vaylin's power. For other classes, Valkorion consumed their power, but then the Outlander took control of their spirits and now their strength is part of him/her instead. Obviously it didn't just vanish or otherwise you wouldn't have dragged them with you to Satele's mind.
Honestly, considering how powerful he's been established to be (and the guy had to do quite a lot in his 1000 years of living to get to that point), the PC defeating him all alone, even in that weaker version of him we meet there would feel far too OP/Mary Sue-insh to me. And having everyone to defeat him once and for all felt far more satisfying to me, as Revan, Meetra and Scourge were finally able to help us finish what they started 300 years ago, than being some kind of all powerfull god like him. I personally like my character being strong/powerfull, but not being the most powerfull thing ever.That's fine. It's why I said it should've been one of the options, not the only one. So that each player can experience the story they feel fits their character best.

When do you actually defeat him all by yourself, at the height of his power, without any help ?
The SW on Voss is not alone, as they have a companion with them, and he wants the SW to kill his Voice so that he can be free and he's fighting against Sel-Makor at the same time.
The JK on DK is with T7 and he just got a new Voice after the SW killed the previous one on Voss, and is further weakened by the JC defeating the First Son.
You don't fight him on Yavin or Ziost and fail both times to stop him.
On Zakuul, either Arcann kills him, or you kill him with a bit of help from Arcann, not to mention, it was probably part of his plan anyways to die there so that he could snatch your body later.
And in your mind, you're not alone either as you have Arcann, Vaylin and later Senya with you.
You can dismiss your companion in the first two of your examples. As for Yavin and Ziost you weren't there to fight the Emperor. And in the final battle of KOTET you can break Arcann and Vaylin free from Valkorion's control and make them obey you instead - right there you take his power and turn it against him. The player character who killed Arcann and Vaylin is now more powerful than ever before since s/he has consumed their power. And like I said, this version of the Emperor we fight in EoB is Tenebrae at his weakest. He's barely clinging to life and closer to death than perhaps ever before. It's not impossible that the Outlander, who quite likely is now the most powerful force user alive, could defeat him alone . In my opinion, at least. Those who do not agree with that, could simply choose not to select that option.
-
I like this idea, but at the same time we do already have so many old companions whose story I would like to see continued. Especially Arcann who has been stuck in this self-pity/'regret is my constant companion' mode since we recruited him. He was such a cool character, I would like to see something done with him.
Same goes to all the other companions really. Right now most of them have no personal character arc of their own. I personally think it was a mistake to bring back every single class companion. There's just too many of them to give all of them meaningful amount of content. Or any of them, as it is right now.
-
I guess the former scenario could've worked. But it feels a little too convenient.
The latter simply would not work, though. Do you actually expect to defeat the Emperor by yourself? This guy who could destroy the whole Galaxy with a snap of his finger? Who you needed help to defeat before, and need help to defeat in the normal scenario? Yeah, sorry, but your character isn't THAT much of a Mary Sue.
Well, you already defeated him like 3-4 times by yourself, so I don't see the problem. This is not the Emperor at the height of his power but rather at his weakest.
Update on the Legacy of the Sith

I think delaying the expansion was the right choice, but I do feel sad for those people who specifically bought a subscription to be able to play this expansion. Also sad for no new SWTOR content this Christmas! Kind of breaks the tradition.
I would like to know what areas of the expansion specifically made the devs choose to delay the update. There have been many concerns raised here about the upcoming changes so it would be reassuring to hear that those concerns have been heard and taken under consideration.
