Mallorik Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) There has been people getting a survey email asking about a future swtor expansion, they have several different options in the survey but the one thing that does not change is the over all story of the expansion: The hutts have risen with enough fire power to challenge the empire and the republic. it sounds to me like its definately an opening for a third faction, if not a completely new faction atleast a pvp only faction like Rift is coming out with. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bw6sp6dpJKRcaDdKTHFnQlp6Wjg/edit?pli=1 Edited May 24, 2012 by Mallorik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goretzu Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I dunno that a full third faction is possible. But something for RvRvR would be great, be it a monsterplay 3rd faction, or something like Rift's RvRvR or some sort of server things like GW2 WvWvW.

Ironcleaver Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) There should of been three factions from the start - Empire, Republic and Neutral (or Hutt). I think the issue was thier class selection/structure - only really smuggler fit into neutral/hutt. :-/ Edit: and Bountyhunter...

fallenjedi Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Think I'm gonna call shenanigans on this. An expansion pack that is only $9.99 and provides 90 days of gametime? Expanded level cap? Cathar? Ewoks? I like the premise of the Hutts organizing as a faction...but whatever that was didn't seem authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanorDM Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Pretty sure they've said in the past they have no intention of ever doing a 3rd faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonoku Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 In 2015 a new faction yes. They still need to improve open world pvp and still need to add in faction change. Those obstacles are in the way of reaching to something higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupieZero Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 its a survey, not an anouncement of an expansion. This has been posted a few times already. Consensus is that its fake. An Ewok companion? Luke Skywalker's speeder? Unrealistic price points? Screams fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those obstacles are in the way of reaching to something higher. Rift is introducing a new faction that is pvp only, people from both of the current factions can chose to fight for the third faction, which would be doable in a short period of time and would make open world pvp totaly viable.

Actually, it looks like they have a new battle ground that has 3 factions (independent of the 2 main factions) and players pick from one of those 3 to play in that battleground only. It's not really open world, it's a single battleground (at the moment). A third independent faction, it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthOvertone Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Third faction...meh. They should just eliminate Factions entirely and be done with it. Make OPvP encounters Guild and Alliance based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choice 1 would be like 85% likely. Choice 2 would be like 2% likely or 98% not likely however u take it. Please...I would love to hear everyone's opinion on these.

This link is false. was this the one that was debunked and deleted? http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=463596 because its still there and still not debunked. Dont know why people are going so crazy about it lol, its a survey with a bunch of crazy things thrown at a wall to see what sticks. I just found it interesting that the over all story of the expansion is the one thing that does not change and totaly supports a third faction.

LupieZero Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Its been confirmed by quite a few people, its a survey from a marketing company that works for ea/bioware. I have yet to see any form of confirmation or "hear" from anyone that has actually received this "survey". The only things that have popped up are the same link you posted. was this the one that was debunked and deleted? http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=463596 because its still there and still not debunked. Nope... it was the other 3 that actually had the same link you posted in them. ~Edit~ Now, if you've ACTUALLY received an e-mail with this "survey" link, I'd love to see the e-mail headers.

I posted in another thread with that "survey" yesterday pointing out the ewok and the "lukeskywalker speeder" and the thread has been deleted from my post history. Seems there are more than one of these threads. It's bunk. If it didn't mix time frames it may have been more credible. But as it stands now ... the planet endor is a long way from being discovered from the point we are placed in the SW:Timeline. Luke Skywalker isn't even a gleem in Anakins Eye ... let alone Anakin.

Empire (as it exists) Sith (Pure Bloods attempting to seek supremecy with in the empire and the entire galaxy) Chiss (Break with the empire or secretly plot to take over (think manderin relationship to the mongouls like the pure blood sith) Hutts (all by them selves mainly utilizing smugglers and Bounty hunters) Republic Grey Jedi Revenites Room for alot of factions.
