atlasalmighty Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was wondering if Bioware is going to make a new expansion pack? Please post news and or Ideas for an expansion pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Moonshadow Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's a given. Every MMO out there usually has an expansion of sorts. Really hope the first expansion lets me go to Dagobah. DARK CAVE, I WILL CONQUER YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimmer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) What I would like to see: Swtor: Jump to lightspeed Space combat - styled after Star Wars: X-wing vs Tie-fighter (non-railed combat) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A planet expansion pack - an additional +5 planets (keeps the lvl cap at 50) Edited May 7, 2012 by Brimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just going to mosey now? What I would like to see: Swtor: Jump to LUDICROUS SPEED! Space combat - styled after Star Wars: X-wing vs Tie-fighter (non-railed combat) Now that's an expansion!

Brimmer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Now that's an expansion! Heh I got a guild on the Imperial side named "Dark Helmet's Fist" if you get what that references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinFlapJack Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Space combat - styled after Star Wars: X-wing vs Tie-fighter (non-railed combat) You and me both, my friend. I can't stand the space combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romiz Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Very good chance they will maybe a year from now. But till they get this current version stable can not believe they have even started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidacid Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Very good chance they will maybe a year from now. But till they get this current version stable can not believe they have even started it. they have actually said back when I was in the beta they already started the VO recording and programming for the first expansion but not to expect it till at least a year after release... there would be two different groups doing work on an expansion and working on the current client so neither would affect the development of the other...

amnie Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 well, let's see what the added story content is, first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkirus Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 At this point I would'nt buy it anyway. Between now and the next expansion...BioWare has got to prove to me they are willing to make the right changes and additions for me to continue my sub, let alone buy a expansion.

Shadowsite Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If an expansion came out I would like it to contain: 1) Acces to new planets such as: Dagobah and Felucia 2) new races and classes 3) New warzones, seriously this is IMPORTANT it I know you added Novare Coast, but come on one isn't gonna cut it.

jgelling Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Wow, can you imagine if they didn't? That'd be such an embarrassment to BW and EA that they'll release an expo pack even if it's half-baked just to show they didn't launch and abandon such a huge MMO platform. BW would lose a lot of credibility if they didn't launch an expo pack - so yeah it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT Heck i'd pay collectors edition prices for a SWG style space system. Edited May 15, 2012 by Elmillia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohpleasework Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The game still needs to make a return on investment then start paying Lucas Arts their license fees. So EA may approach this in a variety of ways. One would be to push out massive content expansions in an attempt to move units/box sales and regain lost customers. Another is to just go free-to-play and hope that model proves rapidly lucrative (I think the approach Turbine uses for LOTRO would do wonders for this game).

voriand Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The population free fall has not leveled off yet. The true gamer base is yet to be determined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Serp Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Unless they expect to sell it purely online, they're going to have to increase the user base for retailers to actually be willing to put it on shelves. There is no DA2 Ultimate Edition because retailers refused to waste shelf space on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediZenn Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, given how much this game does honestly copy from other sources. I think we can make some modest safe predictions. #1: New Planets, probably 2-4 new end-game planets, maybe another leveling planet or two to improve alt leveling being so "straight line". #2: Level cap raised to 60, new planets will have the new leveling area, say 3-4 levels per planet. #3: New End-Game FPs and story, Chapter 4 for all classes. #4: 1-2 New Warzone maps. That would be my guess. I wouldn't hold your breathe for X-Wing vs TIE space combat, as amazing as that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming over from Lotro I would say that would be one of the fastest ways to get me to seek out other games. As with any game that goes ftp the growing store influence just kills enjoyment. Even when not on the scale of pay2win there still becomes quite intrusive ways to nickel and dime you. When it comes to MMOs I'm going to stick with the monthly "know what you get" option for as long as humanly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to MMOs I'm going to stick with the monthly "know what you get" option for as long as humanly possible. I agree on this as well. Their store started out well and good. with mostly cosmetic "convenience" items for sale. But, they soon found out that balance of raids suffered because of purchaseable pots and such. The store is plastered all over everything in the game too. In my opinion TOR should stay as is in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himeji_Endless Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The game is dying and will be dead once GW2 comes out ... BW knows this and that's why its delaying any major expansions (they just wont do it) like server merges and rated WZ ... its too late already ... its a bad sign when 400,000 subs have left already. I can totally feel it on ajunta pall ... my RL coworker doesnt log on anymore, all our hawaii guild players are inactive and there were 7 people in fleet on sunday night ... pathetic!

I wonder if you go back through the last 7-8 years how many different incarnations of "Game X is dying and Game Y will finish it off for good" there have been posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
