OcTwenty Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'm just curious of what everybodys opinion is, I do like SWTOR but worry thats its going downhill ect which i sincerely hope im wrong about. Do you guys think this game will ever see an expansion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 LOL, of course...you'll see TONS of "expansions" I bet. They'll release something you need to buy a helluva lot more regularly once F2P takes hold...but I doubt many will be worthy of being called an "expansion".

emidas Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think we will see Makeb, but beyond that I believe it is highly dependent upon the success of the F2P model. Servers (at least Pot5) are still bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 With F2P coming....yes. I think they need to make a few changes in the game before F2P launches...but that's unlikely. Even so, I expect they will do as well as any other game has done in the market under a F2P model. The game has quite a bit to offer. RoR for LotRO, according to Turbine, was completely funded by F2P profits. They are substantial IF F2P is done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goretzu Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 A proper full blown expansion? I'm not so sure. Planet-size adventure packs? More likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abuelo-Jedi Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Makeb (lvls 51-55). Is Makeb really adding 5 levels? Is this confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envyyyyyyy Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes and I can't wait. Really wish we could get rid of the negativity on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogol Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Do you guys think this game will ever see an expansion? Yes, I think so. My bet is thathere will be several even. I do not know how much an expansion costs. But without it, they loose the last 300k subscribers too. That's a nice revenue, even if it's less than what they thought or wanted.

Yogol Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Is Makeb really adding 5 levels? Is this confirmed? They didn't say how much, no. But they did say it adds levels. That information is old though, who knows what they'll do. But adding levels make sense, business-wise. Preferably before the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abuelo-Jedi Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 fudge I hate levels being added to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBruno Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Why wouldn't they release expansions? Other F2P games have done it successfully. LotRO is on it's fourth expansion, for instance, and has a much smaller player base than SWTOR does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleysRule Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 LotRO has had a couple expansions since F2P. But then again, LotRO's F2P model appears to be far superior to the model TOR is about to set sail with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoth Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) i dont really count makeb as an expansion per-say, more of a patch I would have to see what it consists of first, but i would tend to agree its more of a content patch update then a full on expansion.... A full on expansion should give you the next couple ACTS in your class quests which I don't think Makeb will do.... But if F2P boosts EA's income then Yes I do expect to see a full on expansion sometime next year. Edited October 19, 2012 by Monoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronkaarr Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 fudge I hate levels being added to games. me too. if the cap is increased to lvl 55 then all your "end game" gear that you've worked so hard for over the past months becomes obsolete. lvl 55 greens will probably be as good or maybe even better than the top tier gear for lvl 50s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if F2P boosts EA's income then Yes I do expect to see a full on expansion sometime next year. It was stated at one point Makeb would have levels 51-55. "Usually" when a level CAP is increased, this heralds in an expansion. There have been quite a few threads on this in these forums complete with all the QQ about invalidating gear that accompanies a level CAP increase. There was also much wailing and gnashing of teeth over comments that the "personal story" would not be with Makeb. The major concern being that if they increase the level CAP sans "personal story" there would be a 5 level "vacuum" between Chapt 3 and Chapt 4 increasing the "pain" of leveling just to get to the "personal story" (the part people seem to like SWTOR for best). Whether or not Makeb infact "raises the level CAP" remains to be seen but, with the usual misdirection, spin and outright silence comming from EAware we can not be sure what the heck is going on.

If anything they can keep the stats the same for gear but put in orange skins you need to be lvl 55 to wear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAgeOrgins Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not really. Not till "Free to Play" is fully done. Even then its taking MONTHS for them to finish. When it's finally finished. I just don't see them making an expansion. I think when its done they are going work on the bugs and just leave the game here depending on how much cash it makes. I'd love for them to expand the story lines. With the Companions I just don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeMire Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I dont know... it depends on the success of this rediculous F2P model. Looking around at all of the mindless consumers I bet it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Victus Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) With the way EA is managing the game? No. Granted I am talking full blown expansion, not large patches. I do hope I am proven wrong, but EA has been mismanaging this game since before it was launched. Edited October 19, 2012 by Darth_Victus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm-Cutter Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I would go for content that could be done with a mixed light and dark side group, at any level. - or companions that become their own player characters, or several other planets for level 40- 50s, with heroic areas of increasing difficulty. – the groundwork is already done, -And I for one would be honoured to be asked to script some new storylines and characters and conversations…. Once one has done every class with every specialism, with every variation on the skill tree, romances all romance-able companions, got them all to 10K affection, crafted everything there is to craft, done every mission, heroic, flashpoint, and operation, at each difficulty and PvP-d and/ or RP’d with everyone on the servers, then tell me there’s nothing to do. –And I’ll offer my sincerest sympathy. I've been playing for 6 months, averaging about 10 hours a week, and I reckon that I still haven't done even a 1/4 of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
