skiibyrd Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) So I run a channel on youtube, and do a Lets Play series for Star Wars The Old Republic (thunderbyrd007 is the channel name), and in the next episode I am going to discuss the SWTOR community, their opinion of the game, what you guys like/dislike, what improvement the developers have done well at addressing since launch (or not done well ), what new things are you current favorite items, what keeps you playing the game, what you guys want most in the game, things like that... I really hope we as a community can keep new players coming in, and hopefully this video can help new potential players to get into the game! Your feedback will be used in the newest episode of my Lets Play series, in an update I'm calling the SWTOR Community update. Thanks for any and all feedback, see you in the game!

ImpactHound Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If you could consistently criticize the game weekly, you'd get more viewers than positive Let's Plays for TOR. It would bring in viewers from other communities to point and laugh, and I think you'd triple your subscribers. If you want to throw in a complimetn here or there for a feature you like, sure, that's not unreasonable. But negative is definitely the way to go.

MrJurgens Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Guess not-so excited, but just really impatient. I'm still waiting for this game's major PvP patch. Since PvP has been nothing but a cluster**** since 2.0, this patch better deliver. Heck, something like the removal of bolster at Lv. 55 WZs would be amazing! Just something really major that a lot of PvP'ers would love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yungscion Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Space Missions As barebones as they are, I love them (old school X-Wing/TieFighter gamer) and would love to see them expanded into X-Wing/TieFighter style missions. Actually piloting from the cockpit, with more control, and more robust mission objectives. You could make some time limit based, or other kill X based and the only way to fail is you die or take too long in the case of timed missions. Implement and support that, and I would sub till this games servers explode from overuse. Edited July 12, 2013 by Yungscion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean, but I really have enjoyed this game, and have been playing consistantly since launch, and want to help the community by bringing in new players. I dont really think doing negative videos, or complaining about the game would do it much justice, and would probably make people not want to play. Also, I am doing the lets play series for the story of the different classes, since Bioware did a great job with most of them, and they are really interesting.

Just something really major that a lot of PvP'ers would love. I agree, recently in the Old Republic Insider they stated that in an upcoming update they would have a lot of big changes for PvP players, but have not released what they would be yet. I agree, PvP could use some improvement (after 2.0 the naked PvP was funny as hell!). I really hope they do continue to work on the PvP because the game does have a lot of great potential in this area, I would really like a couple new Hutt Ball Arena's, and new objective based PvP matches, and the ability to choose which types you would or would not que for.

You can be critical and still like the product. Look at things like the Angry Video Game Nerd as an example. People will go out and play/replay things just because you're giving attention to them, positive or negative. Don't rule it out, all the biggest Let's Players are angry or parodying anger, like Game Grumps. Don't be afraid to call a feature crap when you're playing.

Ah, I see what you mean now, the way I intially read it sounded like you wanted me to just full out hate on the game lol. But ya, I'm beginning to experiment more with how things are presented in the episodes. Thanks for the feedback BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLemore Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Bounty hunter contract week. Played on the test server. Full voice acting going to be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApostleThirst Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Don't be pure negativity. Be balanced. "On one hand, I really like Space Combat. It makes me feel nostalgic for Star Fox. On the other hand, how am I supposed to dodge these laserz?" "On one hand, PVP can be great. When there is a close battle and we win or lose by an inch, it's usually pretty fun. On the other hand, I don't like the mechanics of Bolster, because obviously everybody should be wearing the exact same armor and have the exact same skills. You know, to make things even." "I really loved running through the Agent's storyline, but... was there supposed to be something important about the Bounty Hunter that I missed?" "This lightsaber is really cool, and it's great fun using two of them to pulverize my enemies. But I really want to use the double bladed one, because Darth Maul." ... Sorry, I got a little carried away. But you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiibyrd Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Bounty hunter contract week. Played on the test server. Full voice acting going to be sweet I havent tired out he PTS yet, but you definitely made me want to, I didnt know there was going to be full voice acting with it, and I kind of want to see some of the new gear and stuff that is being released. Has anyone gone throught the new FP's yet? If so, how are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone gone throught the new FP's yet? If so, how are they? I've played through both. Light on story, fast but fun. Role neutral group finder is nice. My only complaint is they nerfed the rewards in story modes to basic comms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimsPicken Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I would say PvP fixes, but its more dread than excitement based on how long its taken to produce any content. I would be content if they just fixed the GCD ghost bug so the game was playable at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthOvertone Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The only thing I'm looking forward to in SWTOR is the 2.4 PvP Update. I'm not really excited though, mainly because of BW's dismal track record with PvP Patches and Updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm not sure what is coming that I should be excited about. There's so much secrecy around this game that you'd be better off asking me what excites me about the stock market next week. I'd say the PvP update, but...they blew their last "massive" update with Ilum (January this year) so my expectations of that update are VERY VERY low. I expect 2.4 to be far less than it could be, and far less than it needs to be. I'm not trying to be a spoil sport, but I'm not fond of pretending I'm excited about...nothing. It's all speculation. If we had some details or facts that were teases, I'd be happy to share my "excitement"...but right now, we know nothing concrete about the future of the game (past 2.3 because it's on PTS).

Well all the new stuff they are releasing with the newest update... the bounty contract event, new FP's, new daily missions, the announcement of a new companion... there is a lot of things coming up. Some things have been kept secret, but we know a lot of content is coming our way soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new companion is a joke though - I don't use the 6-7 I have now...another doesn't enhance anything in the game for me. More "daily" missions to add to the ones I don't do now...fun?! There's just not much that "excites" me coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damask_Rose Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm looking forward to the Bounty Hunter contracts. It sounds very alt friendly I'm holding my breath on the new dailies area since people on the test server say it's mob dense and that's something I can't stand about Makeb.

Swalsugmass Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm excited about most things BW announce but not to dampen this thread but having to progress through to same OP 3 times for 3 different type of gear with very little change quickly dissolves alot of my excitement.

I completely agree, I have played a lot of MMO's, and have been playing this game since launch, and I really hope someday they can come up with a way to make the experience different for multiple playthroughs. The only way this has really been successfully accomplished in the past would be to make the story different for each class. I was hoping that GW2 would be able to resolve that issue with dynamic missions... which is what SWTOR is calling some of the new content in the upcoming patch, which would resolve the issue, but only if they were truly dynamic, and not partially or what I call 'pre-determined' dynamic events and missions.

Pietrastor Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Bounty Hunter contracts in 2.3 and the Dread Masters finale in 2.4. That's my most anticipated stuff in the next immediate updates. After that, the SSSP and continuation of class stories whenever it comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
