GavinPatterson Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Anyone else getting sick of the "Dread Masters"? I mean really, they have been the prime focus for over a year now and its kinda dragging on. What do you think about the Dread Masters and their failed attempts to conquer the galaxy? Anyone have ideas for what should come next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELRunninW Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 What do you think about the Dread Masters and their failed attempts to conquer the galaxy? Does it really matter? Emperor Palpatine will try it in future and will fail just as well. At least Dread Masters provide content. No matter what is coming next it is not part of the lore yet and will be dissed by you equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadoken Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Satele Shan on an instanced Tython or Coruscant for the Imperials and Darth Marr on an instanced Korriban or Dromund Kaas for the Republic. Enough of the 3rd party laziness, bring it back to the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudenfusz Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Change that to "Nobody gets monthly CCs until their guild gets the 2hr timed run title." As long as it doesn't include PvP players, I am fine with PvE players not geting their cartel coins. Two years with just one main enemy in an MMO seems not too long for me, but the dread masters never did it for me, I would like to get a focus more on the war between the factions and not against some evil that both factions are fighting against, but I am a PvP player so that should be no surprise.

RahalLexor Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 A resurrection of Malgus or anything like that sounds somewhat silly to say. They are going by actual Canon events not random stuff they just thought would sound cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I would really like to see a return of Malgus. He was such an outstanding figure in the game's early days. We need to get the focus back into the main players in the Republic and Empire. Time for all out war! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnerJord Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Isn't the emperor in some kinda sleep? If so wake his arse up!!! You kill the physical embodiment of the Emperor at the end of the Jedi Knight storyline. At the end of the Sith Warrior storyline, you get a message from The Hand, telling you this. They then tell you this is not the end of the Emperor, and that another body is being/has been secured for him and they are preparing a ritual for the Emperor to take physical form again. Apologies if any of that could use correction. Feel free to correct any mistakes! I want Malgus back. Or like an earlier post said, Darth Marr/Satele Shan. Can't kill them off, but have them involved. Even if for Imp Side, they have to battle members of a newly formed Jedi Council. And for Rep Side, members of the Dark Council. Then last boss would be Marr/Shan, but you don't kill them, they pull a Revan and dissapear. Implement Tython/Dromund Kaas instances specific for this. That way, you can explore new areas of the Academies. So it would be like the Dread Guard, but I could see the above potentially being just a more incredible experience. Which then sets up for future content for certain classes (Jedi Knight helping Shan to recover, and Sith Warrior establishing order in the sith empire in place of Marr as he recovers.) One can dream, and one will know we may never see this, so let your imaginations run wild. Edited September 17, 2013 by OwnerJord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raansu Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I saw an idea in another thread a while back. Resurrect Malgus, and let him tear *** through the galaxy again. HE was a damned awesome villain. *spoilers* To this day I'm still pissed off that he was just a weak *** flashpoint boss instead of being a operation boss. Ya, the way you kill him is kind of cool in some way. Reminiscent to the star wars films and how you toss him over the edge like Vader did to the emperor...but still this guy was like "the" villain of the game and practically the face of all the advertisements and he was the featured statue in the collectors edition and you barely see him in the game and when you finally fight him its not even in end game content. I expected a much bigger role from him, but oh well. I suppose BW could come up with some BS retcon to bring him back but it would kind of feel cheap imo.

I agree with all but we was the villain, but yeah...seems odd they didn't run with him as a raid, or even use the dread masters and him at the same time.

Jrea Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh those Dread Masters, what will they get up to next..... What I would like to see next.

Rafaman Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) I'll speak generally to avoid spoilers. First, I've enjoyed the Dread Masters. They are truly menacing evil and that doesn't get old for me at all. I always feel satisfied, story wise, when we "interrupt" their plans. The final confrontation will be great fun. But sure, new villains keep things fresh and new villains are usually more villainous than the old. So... you guys know the scenario: "The Dread Masters are finally be vanquished, but they are only servants of the true Dark Master, in the land of Mordor where shadows lie." Yeah, yeah, I know but it always boils down to that type of scenario. And I'm looking forward to it. As for Malgus? Well, in my story he isn't dead. Nope. We blew him off the bridge and he disappeared. Only a fool would assume he is truly dead. Satele couldn't kill him with the greatest Telekinectic Throw ever seen. Falling off a bridge in a space station?... Nah, he may need some new cybernetic parts but I'm guessing he will be back. As for those of you who have run the Jedi story and the Mara story, well... let's just say that Lord Vitiate's plans continue.

Excise Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Malgus returns! But this time he knows better than to challenge players, and instead offers to let you join him. Imps choose which side to join (dailies would be more or less the same to keep things simple). Whichever side has more players by the end of the patch cycle "wins", and the story goes from there. On Pubby side, they have to choose between a militaristic leader determined to kick *** and chew bubble gum, or someone who wants to consolidate power and feed the poor. Same deal re: the "winner".

BSVeritas Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Combating a Killik expansion only to find out that they were trying to prevent Abeloth's release from the Maw. Fight to delay her release until the Skywalkers come along and mess the whole thing up. Throw in a couple of Joiner Jedi and Sith just for fun.
