Eshvara Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) This is from SWTOR Central's live stream. 6.0 expansion is 100% confirmed, they have a date but won't tell us when. They have confirmed it will not be "Knights of the ____" (but it sounds like the name is not 100% chosen either) SWTOR Central: An expansion is coming, yes? Eric Musco: Yes. SWTOR Central: Confirmed. Yes? 6.0 Confirmed. Eric Musco: Yes. SWTOR Central: You got a date? Eric Musco: No- SWTOR Central: No? Eric: [Well], yes, but we can't tell you. SWTOR Central: Oh oh oh you do have a date! Eric Musco: Do we have a date? Oh no. No not really (laughing) SWTOR Central: Oh you have a date? Oh of course you have a date, you just can't tell me. Eric Musco: To be clear, the next update after 5.9 is 5.10, not 6.0 Charles Boyd: Correct. Eric Musco: So it's not- SWTOR Central: Is that actually true? Eric Musco: That is actually true! SWTOR Central: That there's a 5.10? Eric Musco: To be fair I think there might be a 5.9.1 Charles Boyd: Oh yeah, sorry. Eric Musco: I'm trying to remember - whatever - but there will be a 5.10, it will not be the 6.0. SWTOR Central: What is the last patch before the expansion? What is that going to be called? Eric Musco: TBD? [To Be Decided] It depends on... if you saw the way that we do production plans- Charles Boyd: 5-dot-three-thousand-seven-hundred-and-... (laughing) Eric Musco: It's 5.something and it depends on like - somethings are in this update, and then it's like what if we made another update x weeks later where we put that out here... it's a moving thing Charles Boyd: There's always a discussion - is it better to do a lot of small updates or a handful of biger updates, which would change that number drastically. It's up in the air. Eric Musco: Something about patch 5.twenty-three... just kidding, just kidding! SWTOR Central: For the next expansion, is the name going to be Knights of the dot dot dot...? Eric Musco: It is not. SWTOR Central: It is not!? Charles Boyd: We haven't decided what it will be, but it will not be that. Copied from the reddit link, from the live stream! Who else is excited? I am.:D:D The focus seems to be Rep vs IMP. As an addendum, here are some notes I took of the things I found interesting: there will at least be a 5.9.1 and 5.10 before 6.0 releasedthere will be an expansion (empire vs republic)Jaesa coming back...

Joonbeams Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Not gonna lie, I'm 51% excited/49% mortified of more FUBAR. Still have to finish the 4.x content/story though, then 5.x. But still, on balance, I'm looking forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulsutherland Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Maybe it'll be better than people expect? Unless I can stay with the Alliance and let the imps and pubs kill each other without having to get involved ... I'll wait for 7.0 so I can skip this plot too.

I'll wait for 7.0 so I can skip this plot too. I'm with Paul. Though they confirmed rep vs imp ages ago so I got my complaining started waaaay back then. And nothing has been said to allay my fears about how such a plot will start yet lol. Edited March 30, 2018 by Asmodesu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joonbeams Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 ... Ranked Season 9 ending midsummer. rewards still being decided Serious internal conversations about ranked warzones - possible solution is ranked wz events... Thanks for posting. As to this, I really wish they would add an unranked arena queue all the way from lowbies where people could learn how to play arenas without all the vitriol of ranked...

Estelindis Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hmm. I wonder how this'll work out for characters who sided with opposite factions on Iokath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueShiftRecall Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hmm. I wonder how this'll work out for characters who sided with opposite factions on Iokath.

And nothing has been said to allay my fears about how such a plot will start yet lol. Well, you can thank you community for that one. That being said I think the Alliance his too heavily integrated in the way the game functions now, for the Alliance to be completely forgotten. You will probably still be the Alliance, but your relationship with either faction will just have more importance than it did during KOTET and KOTFE.

Asmodesu Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hmm. I wonder how this'll work out for characters who sided with opposite factions on Iokath. This is the one major question I'd prefer an answer on asap , even if they don't answer anything else thrown at them. How will it work if you swapped factions, will it be rep vs imp and you're on whichever side you joined on Iokath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) I hope they don't make my fully DS JC who sided with the Empire and Acina go back to the Republic. And I hope they don't make my LS Agent who's been secretly working for the SIS for years go back to the Empire. After a taste of what it's like to openly show her Republic allegiance, that would be a bitter pill. Edited March 30, 2018 by Estelindis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Heh.... good thing today is not April 1st. :p:p My guess is late summer... ahead of the big holiday push when they usually release an expac and then leave town for several weeks. How big will it be, and what will it be? Who cares really... as it's nothing any of us can play until it actually releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
