Alec_Fortescue Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 How big it will be, you think? Considering that it will be a paid expansion , and will involve lv cap, new abilities and class stories, I'd expect the map of Makeb to be somewhat of the size of Northrend. Such size would allow to add new adventures and completely new mechanics that would last for a good while longer than if they were introduced on Makeb, which would be similar in size to the current planets. How big it will be, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angryshooter Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 northrend? *** is that? anyways, if they want me to pay for makeb, the map better be Hoth x10 especially if it involve lvl cap raise, otherwise they should make an additional planet beside makeb and reduce the size a bit.

aeterno Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hoping for something like Hoth/Tatooine, expecting something like Corellia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlonir Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 When was confirmed Makeb would be paid? They said 2 things concerning it: At first, they said it would come out before F2P, then second they said that it is unsure if it will be a paid mini-expansion or not. Not once was it actually confirmed to be paid, nor how much it would cost. Would I use $5,- worth of Cartel Coins to buy 5 new levels and a whole new planet? Possibly.. but nobody knows if it will be paid yet as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oyranos Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) like the half size of tython for example... hehehehehehehe kidding. All 50s gathered up in a small rock... space comet.. I would suggest them also to trig more events in the existing ones.. no only 1 new planet... thats not very interesting on its own... Tatooine is endless sand... A huge huge stadium for events would be nice.. All planets like nar shadaa, courasant, hoth, etc.. to get a an extra area for missions...

Oggthebase Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 stop having wet dreams about the future and enjoy the game with the current features. It's a sign of this generation to want the next smartphone, the next new car now now now. And sometimes you're disappointed because what you imagined you'll get is not what is actually delivered. Please enjoy what you have now. You'll have a happier life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recsa Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 How big it will be, you think? Considering that it will be a paid expansion..... Where has this been said? as long as i know, theres no final decission yet on how to deploy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamus_Divinus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) ...and will involve lv cap, new abilities and class stories I worry about the lack of clear info from BW regarding this important subject. When asked specifically if there would be an expansion to class stories in Makeb, BW have been vague in every interview. They have said that the story will continue but that sounds an awful lot like the galactic story (Imperials/Republic post Black Hole). It doesn't sound like Chapter 4 of our class stories will be in Makeb. Go check out every interview recently and they all avoid saying 'class story' despite the interviewer often asking that very specific question. The reply is always 'your story' or 'the story' that will continue in Makeb. TL;DR Don't get your hopes up about Chapter 4,5 or 6 being included in Makeb.

Oyranos Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) well if its a single planet and just 5 levels.. Its hard to get lots of money from it (?) Except if its an expansion that adds new features, events in the entire world.. They told me that makeb expansion will give also 5 levels as an extra, they could avoid MAKEB and give this 5 levels to Ilum... Makeb doesnt sound such a big deal, they could delay it, so they can give it us more advanced and with more features?... dont know... well thats my opinion.. We love leveling up... just 5 levels? 1 day job But maybe makeb is a clever way, of swtor feature + f2p... Meaning, small expansions with small prices, that can give income and things to do, to the f2p players.. dont u think... Because if the expansion is MAJOR... it needs lots of time to built it and the price gets higher... And they surelly loose money for the services they give, as they give us F2P... They could split it in many parts for more income. Edited October 2, 2012 by Oyranos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenhurst Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I think the TOR team is scared of emptiness. Everywhere there has to be story, buldings, roads. That is why we can´t run out into the empty desert in Tattooine but die in an exhaustion zone instead. Limiting freedom is never a good idea. I wish they would look into procedural generated planets and space for ground, check out how Fuel did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big it will be, do you think? paid expansion? It's supposed to be free to all of us with a subscription. You only have to buy it if you're joining the F2P crew, and then you already know ALL endgame content is pay per item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossesman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well considering Makeb is to accommodate 5 levels of content my guess is similar in size or slightly larger than Corellia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscount Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) The rumor is around the fact they dropped a comment about it potentially being "Paid" content. It appeared that meant for Sub's as well. Couple threads in the forums about it, but like most information its vague. Suggest: BW not make such a bone headed move. As a long term SUB I'd be pretty pissed off about that. Edited October 2, 2012 by dscount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a long term SUB I'd be pretty pissed off about that. You know Bioware, I think Makeb is merely half of the REAL story. They just needed to tease us with a little marketing. Look they are working on expansion content since day 1 of release, perhaps earlier. There will be much, MUCH more than just Makeb.. I think it will be together with a gigantic space expansion. There are like, what, 300-400 people working on TOR? I wouldn´t be surprised if Makeb is as big as the former planets all together. I´d happily pay for that. Further reasons for my "I think there is a huge expansion coming" feeling is... F2P. They can´t seriously think people would just sub for unlimited warzones and operations. They give away the "old" content for free, and introduce a gigaton of new content for subscribers at the same time. -> expansion announcement on the date of F2P switch. All speculation but let´s see if I´m right.. I hope I am... Edited October 2, 2012 by Lord_Ravenhurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 My guess...smaller than you'd like. People tend to have VERY unrealistic expectations about things Bioware plans. They (Bioware) are guilty of over-hyping MANY things...but the fans carry it to the extremes (SSSP is the other). Expect a tiny box. Expect a couple rooms. That way, you'll likely not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also J.O. always hinted "tons of new content and updates for 2012" in the pipeline, since we didn´t see tons of content yet, we´ll see it some day, maybe sooner than later. An operation, a warzone and some nightmare modes are not tons of content. HK51 companion is not tons of content. 2012 is not over yet!

The company producing this game is Bioware Austin, not even an actual "Bioware" company. Expect LESS. F2P games trickle content - it's easier to sell and makes them more $.
