RoboArthurDayne Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Free Digital expansion for subs AND create a level 60 character from the start to jump right into the new world? I'm glad to hear and dying of laughter right now I'm guessing the missions/quests will be similar to Rishi, Yavin 4 & Ziost in that the leveling experience will be smooth and fun, with no wasted on time gearing because they will award appropriate powerful equipment to destroy mobs with and enjoy the story. Now, I wonder how the companion thing will work out? Will the quests/missions also offer Companion Gearing as a provided reward as a quality of life improvement too?

DreadtechSavant Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Ok seen the trailer but just read the info page, are they saying that Nico Okarr is the first new companion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachannal Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 most likely A (singular, one) for free rest will most likely be through the CM. That'd be fine...almost like a companion unlock. I'm ok with that. I would only get one or mayyyyybe two anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnAskham Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A bunch of new story content sound great, can't wait. A new level cap with thus far the only repeatable content being mentioned as 'many of our existing Flashpoints and Operations are being scaled to 60+' sound boring as hell. If that is true - (no new group content for 65) - then I'll sub for launch, play the stories, and drop until new chapters are released. I'm certainly not going to maintain a sub to grind the same FPs and Ops which are already stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLordSnake Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Very excited for this increased level cap! It's disappointing we have to wait until October .., but at least we gain rewards throughout the next few months as being subscribers, plus early access for October 20, yes please!

NeuroniaSW Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So, for the odd ones among us still at 55, can we level to 60 then 65 in the new content or will our characters be gated to 60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZaul Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It is too soon for a level cap increase. They will have to re balance the classes at 65 when they still haven't done it at 60, it gives medium core guilds a time limit to progress in HM until it gets trivialized by lvl 65. (unless it gets scaled but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 That trailer seemed like snippets from numerous scenes. I'm suspecting we're going to see a lengthy trailer or these are actual scenes that we'll get to see throughout the new content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZETA_SCORPII Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The gap between 2.0 and 3.0 was too long, this is giving us more things to do sooner. I welcome a new level cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdatt Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 9 chapters and a 5 level cap increase? Does that mean each chapter is like 20 min of content? 20 min unique to each class? Or will we hit 65 by chapter 3 where you become the outlander (assumed by the title of that chapter)? Either way I'm assuming Ops aren't dead. Just delayed since scaling to 60+ consumed some dev resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeNaCe-NZ Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'd love to see 65-based EV. The tears will be delicious. And EC would just break people's brains ( still does for many ). On topic - I'm happy enough for a 65 boost after the stuff up that was ravagers exploit and the gearing. I kind of thought it inevitable that a new gear tier would come in fairly early after that and there lack of a proper fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelarion Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I disagree 100%. We don't need a level cup upgrade already. We JUST got one in December. Every 1 and half years or so is enough. I am NOT looking forward to leveling up 12 more 60's to 65...again...when I am still working on completing the Revan and Ziost storylines with the 12 60's I have. This will most likely mean yet another gear upgrade, and I JUST finished getting 4-6 set piece 192/198 gear on all my 60's with legacy gear. Honestly am not looking forward to another level cap upgrade already. Yeah!!...because... leveling in an MMO?...madness!!! It's 5 freaking levels...relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocsharr Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So, you obviously don't like being powerful in the game. Ultimate comms gear is garbage anyway. All comms gear is. The level cap from 55 - 60 took way more than a year. This is way too soon. Furthermore, upping old ops to be lvl 60 is boring and frankly lackluster. I've already done them all 900 times. I havent checked out level 60 gear as of yet. Going by 55th though, I had better stated stuff with 55th level mods from vendors than getting stuff from Revan's story and drops so far. 168 drops for 55th versus buying mods at 55 rated 172 and the stats so far are better. 186 is passed by to pick up 192s that are being given to me. *shrugs* All those artifact gear I seen through out my whole play so far has never been better than what I ended up gearing via mod vendors yet. Though now am 60 and may find some artifact items actually good finally cause cant just buy mods instead. Individual perspectives I guess. There is a difference for 60th level drops versus bought I am sure. 192 versus the 198 deals. That 192 still get bought anyways, and was stated if 186 on HM, will be quite difficult. So, looking at 192 instead, and honestly, dont care about HM stuff yet. I have Yavin, Makeb and Ziost to go through before caring about HM. Plenty of story time, I missed Makeb on accident as wasnt directed that way automatically. Level 65 cap wouldnt bother me one bit, then again, havent been 60 for more than a day as I write this post.

midianlord Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I don't believe it is an issue of not seeing the text. It seems more like shock that the cap is being raised again so soon. Guys. Guys. Guys? Button-bloat. E: I hope "more accessible" storyline doe not mean "brain-dead faceroll." Remember when Voss --Imp-side world-arc final boss especially-- was hard? We need this back again!

branmakmuffin Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I don't believe it is an issue of not seeing the text. It seems more like shock that the cap is being raised again so soon. Perhaps the OP should make clear what his beef is. "Wait, what?" doesn't really tell us much. I hope "more accessible" storyline doe not mean "brain-dead faceroll." Remember when Voss --Imp-side world-arc final boss especially-- was hard? We need this back again! Only if it helps the game financially. The game exists to make money, not necessarily to make you happy. Modern MMOs are about casual play. Edited June 16, 2015 by branmakmuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDisturbed Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, it says a lot about what direction the game is heading. We're abandoning PvP and PvE completely, in favor of story, which I guess is okay, I'll continue to play the story on a single character. I'll just miss my guild and the occasional raid/warzone.

Lendul Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 this expansion comes like similar to the leechking of world of warcraft... meaning... they also give the chance for us to create a lvl 60 character... like leechking, remember? That means we need... 1-2-3 more expansions after that for a total revamp lol.... like wow did ? kidding.This expansion is more comparable to Cataclysm.
