Future Content...

[Rafaman]

1. OTHER - Guild enhancements. Guildhall capital ship, guild mail, guild calendar, in game recruiting NPC,

 

2. Class Story

3. Crafting

4. All the rest

 

Maybe we need another poll to see what QoL improvements are most wanted? ie. Guild Calendars etc.

[LordArtemis]

It looks like planets and mini games are now running neck and neck...but the overwhelming majority (around 80 percent) still goes to class story.

[Callaron]

Aaaand... Class Stories immediately takes the lead, leaving its competitors to eat dust!

Apparently I'm not the only one that went right for those.

[Jamus_Divinus]

1) More space content post 2.5

2) Minigames (Pazaak, Swoop racing etc)

3) More planets (Kashyyyk, Dantooine etc)

Gosh, it's almost as if people might want... class story?

 

Nah, they must really mean "more bikinis to put female characters in".

[Bruthor]

1. Class story

2. Planets

3. Companions (make useless companions more useful, more flexibility, companion skill trees)

4. New class

5. Better PvE space content (no rails)

Clearly the next class stories should take place on a beach.

DOES THAT MEAN I CAN GET SPEEDOS FOR MY MALE AGENT?!?!?!

 

I have a mighty need. And no, I'm not sorry. His thighs and his butt are glorious, they must be memorialised. In bronze. In the centre of Kaas City.

 

The Butt That Will Last A Thousand Years.

[DOHboy]

without looking I can probably guess the top 5 in relatively good order.

 

1) class stories most wanted, hardest to implement

2) mini-games because nothing says i'm hardcore than playing game of your char playing a game. All we need is an in-game MMO with mini-games and our heads can explode.

3) new species

4) Planets

5) Crew skills/crafting

 

A close contender for top 5 would be "other" since I'm assuming that would include items like guild QoL and probably AC swapping

 

Where is the option for a new engine

[ThePedigree]

Those two things don't have to be mutually-exclusive. I want both. I always like to have a new outfit to throw my characters and companions in, but I also want more story content. Realistically speaking though, since they have stated that the Makeb approach is how they will be doing story moving forward, I guess what I want most is more warzones. Actual objective-based warzones, and not arena that I will quit out of.

 

And I think we're long overdue for some new customization options. Didn't they say these things would come a regular "cadence"? I frankly don't see why the new hair options couldn't be giving to the other near-human races.

[LordArtemis]

Well, it looks like planets has inched ahead of minigames, but the top three remain the same. If this thread remains active it will be interesting to see what the results are like when we get 300 and 500 votes.

[psandak]

They are just finishing up on The Space expansion and it is only logical to assume they will be soon focusing their attention on the next big expansion... so now is our time to speak up.

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but you are incorrect in your assumption. They already are working on the next thing and probably the thing after that too and probably the next thing after that is already in the planning stages. You see development is not linear: one does not start and finish one thing and then move on to the next thing; there is a LOT of overlap for the simple fact that development takes longer than the 6-8 week content cycle that BioWare wishes to achieve. Heck the Space Combat patch is a year in the making (if it is the SSSC project) and in the interim we got Makeb, and CZ-198, and Oricon.

 

So, anything posted here, if the developers listen, will most likely not even be considered for some time. Just saying, don't get your hopes up for an immediate implementation.

Striped ones even.

All coming in Swtor: The Beaches of Corellia.

You tell 'em! Never ask your current customers what they want, only ask those who've stopped buying your product.

 

If any lesson can be learned form SWG, it was chasing after people who already left your game instead of making the ones still playing happy is a "Bad Idea".

Which is interesting because the minigame crowd, of which I'm one btw, were much more visible over the past few months.

 

So, how about this for killing two birds with one stone. Open up the Casinos on Nar for some gaming action (Casino games I mean).

woohoo, 140 subscribers want class story, for sure all the cool future plans for SWTOR will be immediately cancelled, instead they will record 30 Gigabyte more voiceovers, because this is what an MMO needs, more voiceovers.

Sandbox world, make the roleplayers (who want sandboxes? That is the more active roleplay group, yes?) happy, give me some male dancer gear. Aww yis. Nerfherding male dancer gear

If story=voiceovers then yes. You are right.

Well aren't you a clever sort in your own mind. Luckily for me it is unlikely it would take that melodramatic ceiling you placed forth to provide what the majority wishes, and I also count myself lucky that the minority does not get to label what is...."cool".

 

What an MMO needs is less folks iceskating uphill IMO.

 

But heh.....we have "carebear PvE-only spacemissions"...right? That should be enough. Or perhaps.....

 

a) Space Revamp #rank 1 >50%

b) Housing #rank 2

c) minigames Pazzak/Swoop/Nar Shaddaa Casino ... #rank 3

 

Imagine that......

Wish the devs would do this poll officially like when they did a poll back in the day on Facebook with the Party Jawa...

Anyhow:

Planets, Class Stories, Companions, Minigames and Legacy for me.

Yeah 8 fully voiced class stories, boy that concept turned out well for SWTOR, holy cow!

 

2.3 million boxes+subs sold, down to less than 500K subs, F2P within 6 months, 220 servers merged to 17, two rounds of layoffs. Anything else I forgot?

 

Do it again devs, class stories will turn the ship around, this time for sure! Why try something new if you can make the same mistake twice.

I got Vette the smugglers outfit the other day and as I was putting mods in it I realised I never used her any more as was evident by the level of her gear. In fact unless I walk into the engine room I never see her and she never has anything to say. Making putting her in an outfit that I think suits her some what pointless and a waste of CC's.

That's a good point. I love the cosmetic stuff from the cartel market...it's the icing on the cake. And cake is way better with icing. But when the cake is all gone, I won't have a need to buy icing anymore. And for me, the class stories are the cake.

Well, IMO they have a gold mine here. It seems that BW is getting wrapped around the wheel when thinking about advancing Class story lines by thinking they need to deliver full chapters. They don't need deliver stories in that way. Small episodic additions to each class story in a routine fashion will go a long way even if not all stories are covered in each episode. Yes, they should be the building blocks of chapters, but again they don't have to be full blown novellas in one shot.

I think you're right, a little bit of class story can go a long way. Even now they're only a fraction of what you spend your time on 1-50. But for me at least, they're always there in the background of whatever else you're doing, providing the main thrust of your character's motivation and identity.

As we all know correlation = causation. That's just basic science.

Well, I definitely think we need a separate poll that just speaks to guild related content and features. It's a complex set of desires that cannot be captured in this poll IMO.

500 total poll responses would pretty well meet the sampling threshold. Though even at 150 now, I don't expect any of these will move more then a few points one way or the other from here.
