Darth-Obvious Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I understand they are limiting ops. They should not cut back on the story for progression. This is the main thing I play for the PVP and the story. They can't do both story and group focused content. That's become obviously clear. They simply don't have the resources. Either they focus on story or they focus on group content. If they limit upcoming story, some people may become disinterested. The last two expansions have been story focused. Many guilds, raiders, etc, have become disinterested in the game as a result of the last two expansions. 6.0 is where they finally focus their attention on creating content for those players.

Vaerah Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I think 6.0 will be group focused content with little story. There's been lots of hints/suggestions/statements that now that they've done 2 story focused expansions that they've started to focus on group content. It'd be the last nail on the coffin. They kicked out most of the group mindset players and next expansion are they going to alienate solo "story driven" players? This makes little sense to me and... anyway I won't play a group content expansion. I'd love to, but right now real life forces me to play too little to serve to any group purpose. Like me, many others. As you say, MMO times is over. Making group content is so 2007, it's not going to do any good to the revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can revert to Vannilla Gameplay and and some 2 or 4 heroic missions (if they could be done solo with AI npcs), and some flashpoints. But there is no way in hell, OP´s or PVP, will save their "multiplayer part"... Like me many are casuals, that logon to go imerse on the SW verse and do some story, without the pressure of having to keep playing if they can´t... I for one, pass days without going to game, and even then when i play its just one to two hours at most... Work, familly, kids... its impossible to play...

fatsi Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I started to think they are going for a maintenance mode now tbh. Well, if 'pay 15$ per month for a year (180$ in total) or just once after it is completed instead of buying another game with 100 hours of story' had worked, they wouldn't have ended the procedure. And now, they don't know what to do since they also kicked the MMOers out. There is not even a subscription rewards system going, and direct sales of items have taken over the store. I am not sure whether even the CM team is around now. No new packs for a month is too good a situation to be a good sign imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlthBounteHuntah Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Terrorists attack and hijack the throne and order the Fleet into the sun.

RodneyMcNeely Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I want the next expansion to be entitled: "We're Not Doing An Expansion. We're Giving the Game Engine an Overhaul to Make it DirectX 12/Vulkan Compatible". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsdrummer Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Personally, I would like a return to the original class story lines as well. More Republic vs. Empire. KotFE was cool, but overall I enjoyed the original story lines much better. I have been a sub since this game was released and I have all of the expansions.

americanaussie Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I would love side stories for companions including Theron/Lana And more class specific parts of the story at least.

xenocydeO Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 what I want to see happen is the throne destroyed and the alliance find a way to get the empire and republic to back down. meanwhile another faction secretly uses the weakened state of the 3 big groups (reps, emps and alliance) from the war for the throne to push there forces out of the shadow and pose a very powerful threat and ACTUALLY ALLOW you to command forces like send teams off on special missions with success rate system. this would be amazing but not have it be a micro managing type deal and have the story much more open ended. (god damnit I wish you were allowed to destroy the eternal throne not take it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenocydeO Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sounds good, no, sounds great to me!

I loved the mechanics in KOTFE but disagreed with the ending quite a bit. would love to see the republic and the empire go at it again but have the alliance try to find a way to end it or have need a new character to see through the perspective of one of three sides in the war. if they were to go that route of re-sparking the war between the two groups..... also new classes would be AMAZING seriously would love to play a emp trooper or some new classes from the alliance OH and some new races to would be cool Edited July 19, 2017 by xenocydeO just updating the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylliarus Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Why can't the expansions be like a continuity of the existing class storylines? The class storylines are a really cool design choice and are actually varied. Since RotH all the expansions are pretty much the same for all characters so you do it once maybe twice and then just burn out. That is all I wanted, that is all I desired. A continuation of the class stories there was so much more story potential there, so much more tales to tell. It truly was what I wanted so badly for Bioware to do as a continuation of the storyline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thruine Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I don't know Star Wars lore that well but I'd like a Body Snatchers type storyline. Like that one on Star Trek Deep Space Nine (I'm sure you all have seen it). Shapeshifters infiltrate all facets of both factions, all levels and we have to find and stop them. Whether its the Republic/Empire rooting them out from within or fighting against a group in the other faction from doing something nasty (or have they been replaced... maybe not). Lots of mistrust starts but it would be cool if they resembled one existing player race so that one race (and player) would get more hate or distrust than normal just for fun. Or so maybe they recognize races. Either works. Oh, and allow faction swaps if they don't keep the Alliance. Best time and method to do so.

Mangoriat Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 next expansion:because of Theron's actions, the alliance has fallen. your char has eather joined the empire of the republic again but the empire falls apart (because of internal strife between sith), and many fellow sith who survived this crumbling either flee of are pulled to the light side of the force and become jedi. but a secret order tries to use the new situation to hollow out the republic and reform it into an empire and it is up to your char to stop this complot. (i think this would be a very plausible way to wrap up the storyline for the entirety of the game. BW or EA know this game is on its end, the servermerge last november is clear sign of that. so it would only be logical if they wrap up the storyline.)
