BrotherJohn Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 So with this expansion we see an increase in number of characters allowed per server. I applaud that but I cringe at that given I have many um many alts. So with that played the story first run. Was a great story with a couple what the moments and wow moments as well. It wasn't grand but I was darn happy to have played it. Second time through story was good, not as good just good, I made some slight changes to my replies to see if I would received different replies but more or less it was the same. Third time through story it was meh even given that I selected the polar opposite at all selections. Nothing was surprising, which surprised me because I would have expected the replies and response would have been wow moments again. So Moved on to fourth time this time opposite faction and yes I know its really just a term now not real opposite faction given the story line previously with revan and was surprised in a bad way, nothing new. and now I think to myself wow um 16 other characters through the same lame story? BW please just let us bypass story after you have done it say 3 times. I wouldn't even care if you gave us the option of lightside story quick finish darkside story quick finish. just let us bypass this story I applaud your new story and it certainly is refreshing to see how you have changed things for the better but this was a major misstep thinking this story would be entertaining more than a handful of times. Bash me all you want peeps, this is a real issue that will I totally believe kill their long term player retention when it is so easy to see how wafer thin the story really is more than 2 times played.
Spyderwoman Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Can you not just tab through it if you don't want to hear it again? That's what most do even in old content that they have run multiple times.

What makes you think Bioware thought the story would be entertaining when played over and over? The majority of players are not going to play the story 17 times. It's not Bioware's fault if you choose to play the same story 17 times. Even the best stories start to get boring after that much repetition.
Nerfington Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I think that's their argument, that it's no fun playing multiple times so there should be a skip option for alts. Dunno how I feel about it, I used to prefer doing it the regular way since there 8 stories, but now that there's just 1... Skip might be good. I might eventually manage to take 3 characters through it at most, which is a lot better than SoR, which I barely managed to get 1 character through before walking away for months in disappointment.

JouerTue Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 i've done it 3 times, just to reach new areas on main char, imp char and farmer char, my most played. the others will just hang on the fleet. doing rishi and yavin 4 multiple times has been so horrible with those fp that i greatly reduced my alt playing. now i barely made it on odessen and struggle to do more than a star fortress. alts are just to grind faster tokens for hm/nim raid characters..
Eriamea Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I can live with the story though would have hoped for more consequences on your actions. At least add a legacy thing for the reputation with the specialists: it is pure grinding. Redo Pierce and Qyzen's quests? no thank you.
