itsmymillertime Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Bioware said they would look at feedback to determine if they bring back class stories after this expansion. After doing all 8 stories, and without spoilers, they have to bring them back. They were not stories with an ending. There were stories that led with a buildup for next time. I have to know what happens in all the stories. Edited December 8, 2014 by itsmymillertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I would not expect any new expansions with multiple class story quests. We will get 1 or 2 class missions at most. Bioware has been very clear that future is in global stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do I say multiple quests? I do not get your point. Edited December 8, 2014 by itsmymillertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeventhJedi Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 People came back for this story. Imagine if 4.0 had full class stories. I'm not saying it would, but I imagine there's at least a chance that enough people would re-sub and buy shinies that it would be worth the price. I can hope.

I misunderstood your post. If thats all you were talking about...ok then. From the tone of your poat i thought you were talking about a full delivery of multiple class stories.

Hotte Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I for one have just done one story quest and that was as far away from a closed story than....a refund. SCNR That particular story mission left me hanging wanting MORE...more more, yes please give us more story quests. Worst season finale cliffhanger ever. So yes, I fully support "SW:TOR Episode 4: The Return of the Story" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savej Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 BW has said they will be "doubling down" on story henceforth now that core systems are in place - that could easily include more class-specific. The ones I've seen from the xpac so far are all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darka Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Given how the game went since launch much of the original plans were scrapped or re worked with the smaller dev team . If they had retained much of the staff, and the game numbers were much bigger we would have seen more class chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I have only done the Consular class story from 3.0. Do you know what that story felt like? CLOSURE of my class story line. You are the Bar'Senthor. You make a holocron, which you carry with you to record your actions until the end of your days. Seriously, what could possibly come AFTER that, specifically for ME the endgame, end of story Consular?

dcaleb Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We should petition Disney and EA to give Bioware all of the money so that they can afford to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 They were not stories with an ending. There were stories that led with a buildup for next time. I have to know what happens in all the stories. Of course they were stories without an ending. The ending of the stories will be when the game closes down. Existing MMOs don't provide final stories. I enjoy the class stories and they are great to go through once, but it should be fairly obvious to people why they are focused more on repeatable end-game content rather than one-time content. Players burn through content way too fast for any MMO developer to keep pace with new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Doing things for the Holocron to record? I don't think the things I'll be doing, namely Nadia while wearing the pirate hat I got for her on Rishi, would be suitable for that... Oh, I know, how about finally putting an end to that mary-sue, overused, obnoxious piece of trash Revan? Hopefully we actually get to end his miserable existence once and for all this time. No spoiler tags because I don't know. Haven't played that far. And don't tell me the answer - especially if we do not get to get rid of him so we can have a decent character in the future.

Bioware has been very clear that future is in global stories. NO, NO and NO. I remember a year (or maybe more) ago You among the ones that seemed happy that class stories were over. Now BW is testing grounds for eventual continuation, and still you are the first to dismiss their intents. I hope the new small class stories reach the goals BW set, and they'll continue to re-introduce more of this into our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the new small class stories reach the goals BW set, and they'll continue to re-introduce more of this into our game. We got a single class story that, more than anything, actually CLOSES your class story. That's hardly a class story arc. All the work went into the expansion. These are olive branches to the player base. Nothing more. We will never see the fully fledged expansion with class stories. Bioware has made that clear. Do they reserve the right to go back on that? Of course they do. Will it happen? Highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they should review it every once in a while. They said 'no more class stories' in the past? So what. If they manage to make it profitable, they will do it. Is it possible? Very much so. Is that probable? It would require much more guts they have now, but they're starting to grow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) So IMO, stories are the niche they have and have not fully exploited. Yeah, yeah, I know the reasons, but lets be honest, other games have better PvP, and housing, and although I love Ops other games have end game dungeons that are pretty damn good. The niche here is story. Get that squared away BW and you will have the masses return. They may leave again, but they will be back. It is an ebb and flow. It is the same with all MMOS these days. But where as other games have to rely on the same old systems of a different flavor, SWTORs story telling is truly unique and can bring it all together. So, yes more class stories. That is the ticket. Edited December 8, 2014 by Rafaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskangeek Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 If the Devs are truly taking feedback on this, then yes, I'm all for more class stories! I'll even pay for it, plus being subbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must suck then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveTheMonkeys Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 /signed, for most class story content, in whatever form. Even if dedicated class stories are done (because closure, etc), there is still plenty of room for class-based approaches to shared story arcs. A smuggler and a jedi could run the same areas with the same objectives, except the Jedi gets the mission from the council, and the smug gets a tip off from an underworld contact.

It feels more like epilogue of the book rather than another chapter, and Bioware just don't have resources for new book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangrar Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) well with the Sith Warrior story I don't know, I get the feeling that its not over, I mean between the Emperors return and all of that, and the dialogue with what Servant One and the droids were saying, I think that it is not nearly over for my Warrior yet, it feels like its implying that the Emperor's return will be part of the next big event, I mean, here is the video of the Warrior class quest. Also Vowrawn flees from the hand, sooner or later that will probably have to get resolved. Lastly, Servant One says I will fullfill my true destiny soon, that is a very clear indicator I think that its not over yet Edited December 9, 2014 by Sangrar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one i have actually played, Sith Inquisitor, actually throws in an entirely new plot hook about a search for extending your life span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Advent Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Even if it's just another one per expansion event, yes. Class stories are a vital element of this game's appeal to me and I'll only be encouraged to pay for it more in the future if they remain a trend.

enigmacypher Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 if what you are saying I wonder if this means more upgrades as you go along?? if so I am afraid VERY afraid.. every patch causes hell with my lag and game it seems (would love this if the game was more stable in behavior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
