Aries_cz Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I, and several people I play with, have thought that makeb was some very nice piece of work, both graphics-wise (Makeb in general, plus I love the new water animation) and story-wise (yes, it is the same, but I still found it quite enjoyable). Also, there is way more to RotHc than just main Makeb storyline. You have staged weekly missions that offer several quest that will take some time to finish. It offers several more hours worth of new dailies, several hours of two new missions revolving around Macrobinoculars and seeker droids, new Operation with some interesting and funny mechanics, and much more. In my opinion, RotHC were the best 10$ spent in a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenify Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 It's not really, he was complaining about something he paid for that he finished in 3 days. The point being made was that CoD costs 6 times more and is finished in a fraction of the time but you never hear people complain as often about that fact. People play the campaign on COD?

NSStember Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I kinda view it as a "staging" thing. You payed to to move your characters to the next "tier" of Ops and FPs and such which they will be getting to us as they develop them. Makeb was only the start of "level 55 fun", not the end.

DarthVengeant Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I enjoy all the other things they added other than Makeb. Makeb just seems contrived and the same old mob killing you have done since day 1. NOTHING personal, just cut and paste for all classes. The story is boring, the planet is uninspired. In all honesty, this doesn't even compare to great expansions like Guild Wars and WoW have. Makeb is more like an event than a real expansion. But again, I enjoy all the other things that came with 2.0. They just need to iron out a few of the bugs still.

Zunayson Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Do you travel instantly, one place to another, in Canada by any chance? Yet again, poor game design. Good game design, unless you're telling me you like idling around courscant for 3 minutes in a taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Can't believe it took them that long to develop content I finished in 3 days. There are a few things to think about here. First, did you really finish ALL the content? All crafting professions at 450 and you have all the recipes including those that you have to RE? Every single daily quest and heroic done at least once? In 3 days? REALLY? Second, let's not confuse calendar time with development effort. If they had 3 developers working on Makeb, it would certainly take a very large amount of calendar time to produce. If they had 300 developers working on it, it would have taken substantially less calendar time. Since we don't know how many developers they have assigned to producing content like Makeb (as opposed to CM garbage), we don't know how much effort they really put in. The true bottom line for us consumers is if we feel we got value for our $10 or $20. At the $10 price I paid, I feel like I got plenty of value.

petesalzl Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I will start by saying, it was certainly worth the 10 dollars i paid for it. However I was also a bit disapointed in Makeb itself. No class specific quests was a big oversight. That is my favorite part about SWTOR, they did such a great job with the class quests for each class, to not have them in an expansion seemed odd.

Projawa Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I thought Makeb was very well done and the $10 was a great deal. That said, I was disappointed in no continuation of class/companion stories. I'm also curious to see what they do for the next xpack and whether it will be another standalone planet or a proper chapter 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 And? Play in the Snow. lol! You must be from the south where that sounds "fun". I'm not from Minnesota, I live in Wisconsin, but I think I speak for every flipping northerner when I say that stepping outside to see MORE freaking snow is the LAST possible thing I'd like to do this year. Global warming isn't something we fear up here, it's something we PRAY for!!! I stopped at Walmart and bought an SUV full of aerosol cans that I plan to toss into a fire pit tonight while I burn plastics in the hopes of popping a hole in the ozone layer...wish me luck!

I used to go skiing every year without fail. Loved it. That is, until I moved to a snow-heavy region. Urgblatt. The next winter I spent in Palm Springs riding ATVs in the desert. Best vacation ever.

Glorthox Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Blame EA. EA is more interested in results instead of content. If bioware wasn't hindered by EA's failure, they would have brought out something so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soluss Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Im dissapointed in the "expansion" as well. It was worth the 10 bucks but pretty much what I expected, a weeks worth of content and half of it being rehashed instances. I would have much rather gotten a full size expansion and paid 50 bucks for it. That is likely to never come IMO. If it took them this long to create this small planet with a weeks worth of content at most, then i just dont think they have the resources to do a proper expansion. Also, its likely the game will not last very long due to taking so long to make 1 DLC that is so short of content.

It looks like EA made a pretty good financial decision. One can see why their stock is worth more than the makers of that other MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amelyssan Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Again, it's not the money, it's the fact that its a lot of time to regear for only one new Op. I'd have rather paid more and gotten more. Finally someone who agrees with me! but the fanboys in here love the cheap expansion, but fact is, its just a lackluster DLC nothing more, from a company that has already lost too much.

Arlbo_Nabbins Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Name me some from MMOs that started out with a paid sub model then went F2P. Note not games that started out F2P like Guild Wars. For instance what expansions for Champions Online, Star Trek Online, D&D, LOTRO, Age of Conan, etc, had more significant amount of content than RoTHC? Hell name me one that comes anywhere close to what WoW does.. Rise of Isengard and Riders of Rohan for LoTRO (both released after it went F2P). Both larger expansions but priced at a higher level than RotHC (but lower than a WoW expansion). The latest introduced mounted combat to the game. 10 bucks for about 30 hours of content? Imp + rep side story line on Makeb + GSI and others story and daily missions. Point me to the game which provides so long gameplay for this money. I find 2.0 and RoTHC very nicely done en enjoyable. I agree, its 30+ hours of brand new content when you consider both factions, which is good value for money.

People are coplaining that ROTHC takes a solid weekend to compled (for the sake of argument, 24 hours). Call of duty costs about £40 (or conversion price!) and takes 5 hours to complete.

Infurnace Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The "story" is so short bioware isn't creating a "story driven" game. Instead the game is driven by daily quests. I don't want to stick around for the dailies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
