Cheops Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 level cap increases? I guess that is one way to deal with the end game content issue. . whats funny is they are upping level cap and there by nullifying all existing end game content so they will have to add a ton just o get back to where they are now .. =P unless they just up the current stuff to be the new max level and then they will piss people off because they already have done it all before.. so gain 5 levels (or how many ever) and then run the same stuff we did 5 levels ago...

Galbatorrix Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah, he also said that before almost everyone that bought the game unsubscribed. BW/EA needs this game to make money and losing as many subs as they have probably means this won't be given to us for free. So, the question then becomes, after how poorly managed SWTOR has been over its first 6 months, do you really want to give BW/EA more money? I have a job and can afford $15 per month plus a yearly expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a manifestation of an isolated power play or is it the first move in a bigger plot to take over control of the galaxy?

jarjarloves Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Basically its everything that was on that survey they have been sending some people. The question is which price they settled on (No it won't be a free patch) nope its all going to be patch updates http://www.torhead.com/guide/leaks everything in there was pretty much found already in the data mining by Torhead. It seems some of the stuff from 1.3 was pushed back but it all makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjSnazzyduds Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 And how the hell do you put some unheard of planet out rather then the HIGHLY requested Wookie world?? And limited F2P at just 6 months? 73 days and im done till game goes full on F2P or till real social building content is added You must think yourself super special.

NDiggy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have a job and can afford $15 per month plus a yearly expansion? Grats? Wasn't the point of my post. Let me provide an example to elaborate my point. SWTOR is a mid-to high end restaurant. I go there a couple times per week, but the service is always bad, they regularly over cook my steaks, and at least once per week I find a bug in my food. Sure, I can afford to keep eating there, but why would I keep giving my money to that restaurant when there are other similar restaurants out there that don't have all those problems? If I kept eating there despite all those issues, what would that say about me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchJedi Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Honestly, I can't believe all the haters. Don't get me wrong, I was looking into Mist of Pandas and didn't have so much and was deciding on leaving the game. This trailer has given me lots of hope. And please stop saying" expansion." This is not a expansion, it's going to be a patch, prolly 1.4. Expanions would mean a new box to buy at the store, new CE edition more money to pay out of our pockets beside subscription. Look at BF3 at E3, that's a expanions. There charging 49.99 for their new content , if they didn't bring that up here, then we don't have to pay for it. Lets Break it Down: New Ops: Terror from Beyond The game launched with one, technical two and bosses added on shortly after. We just got a new operations and already planned on brining out another. Not gonna lie, that's pretty cool. It's gives hardcore players new content so they don't get bored and casual players that play stroy mode and just enjoy. One shown playable species: Cathar There is only one shown, doesn't mean they won't bring out another. I wouldn't peg it as a for sure thing for only one new one. Honestly, how many did you expect? For the lack of a better comparison, WoW only comes out with 1-2 new species and they have probably half of the testing they need to get done due to the voice acting. I wouldn't expect any more than three and that's just being generous. BTW, the species looks sweet. Can't wait to play and hopefully they have a paid species switch so people don't have to level the same character. New Level Cap and Abilities: Never seen this as a issue. Level cap will proly be 55 with the one new planet. New Abilities and level cap means new talent tees with a new ability in each talent tree with porly one new ability shared with your class and one new ability with your advanced class. That's a total of at most five new abilities per advanced class. I can't see a negative in this. Maybe class imblance is the only thing so will have to wait and see. New Planet-Makeb Let's be honest, it's goona take a total of 7-10 hours to get 5 levels on 1 new planet. This will not make or break the game by any means for the frustration of hitting the new cap. This is prolly my least favorite addtion unless they add more on the class stories. New Companion: HK-51 Proly going to get this companion on the new planet while leveling. This means everyone is going to have one shared companion. However, I don't like the idea of that but, I don't really care about companions that much. I know the community wanted this to be a compaion so there giving it to everyone but they better not make this a habit of giving everyone shared companions. New Wz: Ancient HyperGates Tor launched with three wz's. Civil war, hutball and voidstar. Just came out with novare coast and already coming out with another. I this rate, Wz's are going to hit the masses. were going to have five different wz's all in one year. That's preety cool and no complaints here. New Space Mission: I lied, this is my least favorite feature that's coming out. Not much to say. Only thing is, it's been said countless times by devs that they have big plans for space missions/battles and I doubt one mission is there full plan. F2P to Lvl 15 in July Ok every subscription based game does this so I see no problem or seeing that its going F2P any time soon. Wow, rift and I even think tera is already doing it. So let's put the breaks on F2P please. Not mentioned. ETA of 1.3 and Character Transfers. Trust me I wanted to hear all the info on xfers but that doesn't appeal to the masses sadly only the people playing the game. They want people to join and that's their goal at E3. They can't only target there players base at this big of an event. We need xfers and we need them bad. Hopefully that comes out soon enough or none of these updates/content reveals matter.

NDiggy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 So what was the time frame on any of this? This year? Given the rate at which they're patches have been coming out, I would expect any of that before February, which means they'd have all the bugs introduced in that patch fixed by next December.

Well throwing Cathar in shouldn't be terribly difficult - they've got the models in-game and since they're more humanoid than the notoriously buggy Twi'lek or that other worm headed species it's probably not that bad. Makeb though - a new planet and a new mission arc (at a new level cap?) seems like major new content and that's the exciting part. But I guess I'm skeptical we'll be seeing Makeb any time soon since all they showed were a couple of droids.

Kubernetic Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 And in the end... it went Free to Play after all? Free to level 15 on a constant basis is pretty cool. It all looks pretty good... but "Coming This Year" leaves a bit of vague expectations. Station Assault space mission looks nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacenHallis Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 What I dont see speaks volumes to how lost EA is So, because EA doesn't cater to your whims, they are lost? What you've posted are hardly universal needs/desires. NO PAAZAAK NO HOLO CHESS NO CANTINA ACTIVITIES NO DAoC style RVR NO Rift style public groups NO Housing or at least ship customization I don't care about Pazaak. I didn't like it in KOTOR. I don't care about Holo chess. Assuming duels are active, you can do everything in a cantina in game that happened in a cantina in the movies. I don't care about PvP, and I care even less about RvR. If it can be added without affecting me, then go for it. But if I have to deal with it in any way, I don't want it. I don't care about public groups. I didn't like them in Rift, and I don't care about them here. Housing is something I care greatly about, but I do not find it an intrinsic part of my enjoyment of an RPG. I would love if it were added (and, no, ship customization is not an acceptable substitute for player housing; ship customization is ship customization), but I'm not going to quit if it's not added. And how the hell do you put some unheard of planet out rather then the HIGHLY requested Wookie world?? I wouldn't put Kashyyyk in the game at all, really. At least not as an explorable world. I might make it a flashpoint location, but nothing more. Why? Because of the events of KOTOR, I imagine that wookiees that remain on Kashyyyk would be very xenophobic. If Kashyyyk were ever added, it would have to accompany playable wookiee classes, and that's a lot of work. What we're seeing out of E3 was probably in development before the game release, and it's following their release schedule, which hit a bump because of the needed changes/additions in 1.3.
