Ive never understood the hate and anger on these forums. I've played off and on since launch and I can see some of the complaints but overall the game is still very good and fun. I do ops, story and flashpoints and only do not pvp. Imo the game is still going strong and imo they have not lied to us. I look forward to the game continuing.

I just read the new post. I'm glad that as of now plans are to keep updating and not go into maintenance mode. I hope that is true for the long term. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Look people, this is all just speculation. We have no idea what is going to happen. I'm hopeful things will be alright and the game will continue to be as hoodcas it has been. I've enjoyed the game and expansions and look forward to the game continuing.

I'm sad but in a wait and see mode. I'll continue to play occasionally and try to get legendary but if they don't release new story after 7.4 I'm probably done.

Yeah KOTxx has *some* class specific dialogues but you still feel like going through the same story, even though that's still better than the Ruins of Nul onward writing (come one, an agent not making any remark when Lana said no one except Nul erased herself completely? No special dialogue from the knight to Kira regarding Emperor's Child?). The Malgus/Mando writer team did write good main story, but I hope they are given more notes regarding the origin stories to give more personal flavor to the same main plot.
Personally, I love the RotHC format: two independent stories regarding one overall main event. People hate Makeb, but I love how the two stories coexist at the same time. There are good class specific dialogue and choices that make sense. It's one expansion I actually hope direly to have an option to replay.
Back to new combat style...
Don't thing we really need a "background story" for new ones. I mean, as in post 7.0, combat styles have nothing to do with the origin stories. You don't need explanation in-universe for a new combat style. As for the naming... that's the writers' job, I suppose. They'll come up with some cool names. Inventing new combat styles that work (and balanced with the existing ones) would be the real difficult job.
One of the most wished for combat style is a melee combat style that uses blade for tech classes. I guess you'll have to restrict the combat style to use vibroblade only (so they can't use lightsaber). Someone WILL complain, but I guess most people will be happy to have a new combat style.
It will be more tricky to make a combat style for force classes that uses ranged weapon like a blaster but maybe there's something in the SW history that'll make it logical lore-wise. Someone like Ezra but uses Lightsaber + blaster.
I do think some more class specific dialog should have been included, but the over story for Ruins of Nul onward is fine imo.

Yeah some of the writing has been lackluster recently, but imo the new 'Ruhnuk' story & script was SUPERB.
Hopefully we get more of that type of quality in 2023. ( But yes, it would be nice to get more quantity of it too. And more often, like ESO does. )
I've liked all the content story wise but I do agree this was very well done.

Remember that I can't remember if they are dailies or weeklies. The weekly reset was about half an hour ago.
They are dailies. I ran into this too. But the bonus series of most planets can be done in am hour of two.

I didn't even get a chance to use it because I was doing the new story. But it doesn't bother me as it is already is pretty quick to level.

We get about 2 story updates per year. It has been ages since this boring ass Mandalorian story arc started and same with the Malgus thing and both storylines haven't gone anywhere. In the meanwhile there's still supposed to be a war between the Republic and the Empire as well as our Alliance and the whole saboteur story arc as well... but nothing has been done with those story arcs either.
And when we do get new story our role has been reduced to a mere bystander, there to listen to Shae Visla and Darth Malgus go on about something that has nothing to do with us. I miss the times of KOTFE/KOTET/Traitor when it still felt like our story.
My suggestion is to scrap these storylines entirely and just make two new class stories instead: Imperial Trooper and Republic SIS Agent and make a new melee class for them so our non-Force characters can finally use melee weapons.
Nope. I did enjoy KOTFE and KOTET but I don't feel that it isn't our story anymore. I don't think creating a class story for two classes and ignoring the rest is a good idea. I think the story they are creating is good imo.

I got a new computer for Christmas and am trying to install/log in. I keep on getting 'login service is currently unavailable" message. Is anyone else having problems? The reason why I ask is that this computer runs Windows 11 and I've gotten error messages for installing EA/Origin app saying that part of the installer is incompatible with my OS.
I've got a laptop with Windows 11 and it runs fine in including the EA app. You definitely need to contact support, but as someone else said they are on holiday so it might take some time.

I get why some might want to skip if you don't play for the story. However I do and loosing out on romance options and other stuff is a no go. I want to expirence it all even if I've done it before.

So, another update that is unfriendly to players having more than a couple alts. If you allowed players with multiple alts to skip content based on legacy achievements (meaning if I've completed the story at least once on imp and rep side) it would make more people want to go to the new planets and not have them be empty two weeks after they are released.
I disagree. I just take alts I want to do the whole story with through it. It doesn't make sense to take non force users through it imo.

You like what was released in 2011 by good devs wich have all moved on to other companies. People are talking about Nu-SWTOR wich is terrible.
On topic :
I tried to do a playthrough on sage healer only to find out that force lift is now a level 60+ ability. Force lift is crucial for hero missions and golden mobs still have 200% more hp than they should have. By the time i reached Alderaan i have had enough. Hacking away at a golden mob for 5 minutes isn't what i would call fun. Leveling up makes you weaker every single level up until 80. Every class feels incredibly weak and combat is an absolute slog, zero power fantasy. My age old complaint of too many forced fights didn't get adressed either, on the contrary it got worse. It is a method of hiding lack of content.
They call it an xpac...lol, lmao even. Wow just released an xpac. A continent full of areas, factions, quests, dungeons, raids and stuff. That deserves the name xpac. This is a minor patch with terrible changes to progression and ui. Oh but we have dualspec now lol, they finally figured out how to create a new table in the database.
They haven't figured out how to prevent the animation glitch with lightsabres staying in your hand when you destroy objects though....since 2011...here is hoping they can figure it out in the next decade.
I disagree. Sure the expansions aren't on WoW level but they can't be. I've been playing off and on since 2011. I enjoy it more now than ever.

They might've been referring to the whole "User Interface Enhancements" aspect.
Maybe but that sounds like a good thing imo.

re: "It is now possible to interact with the VIP Hospitality Droids on the Imperial Fleet of the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event."
Awesome ^ , now can u guys please just make that EVENT year-round 24/7 ...and.... Code those playable 'Sabaac Tables' we had in BETA back in 2010 !
hashtag Gambling is part of STAR WARS (and just might solve in-game inflation)
I'd love that. And regarding your edit, as long as the game makes money it'll stay alive. I see it going for years still. It still has a very active base.

I'm excited. New story, and more reason to play a game I love.

Basically their decision making is influenced one 2 things
QoL = Bad
Grind Increase = good
Um I read the patch notes. I don't see how QoL is affected. Though most of us just enjoy the game.

7.0 ruined Everything especially Gear progression. They had great classes and gearing instead they thought redesigning the game into a mess. The UI upgrades are terrible. The upcoming map stuff you can already do. Pull the map up full screen and still run around. That just tells me they got new people that don't know how to play the game trying to add things that are already there they just don't understand how it works. So, they got to change it around to crap.
I disagree. I play, ops, fps and story and I have no issues with the changes. I understand some do but I like what they've done so far.

There essentially taking out the competition from PvP. And single handedly murdering a dedicated community in the process.
To see how bad it is, visit the PvP Forums and see some of the responses. Or just watch this video from BioWare Content Creator Mark Biggs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChszWTQKBqg
I did. There's actually quite a few that either understand or support the removal if ranked. And this wouldn't have happened if people could behave.

Keep getting randomly disconnected from the server. Happens 2-4 times every couple hours of playing and I'm starting to get at wits end. I've rebooted PC, flushed the DNS cache, and rebooted my router at various points and nothing seems to work.
What server?
