MaximusRex Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 When are we going to get all that 10th Anniversary celebrating and content we were promised? We have gotten less content this past year than any of the nine years prior to it. The operation that was 6 months late had an encounter removed and doesn't have a master Mode, instead the other two modes are way over-tuned compared to prior Ops. The story is anemic, and the Empire side just seems like a lot of random things happening with very little cohesion or consistent behavior of the characters, and the second part of Manaan totally ignores the first part. BioWare needs to get it together. 7 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioWare needs to get it together. I had really hoped we would get more story by the holidays as was one time quoted. Not sure this will happen as we seem to keep getting setback after setback because of unwanted QoL changes, nerfs and bug fixes. Honestly we could have done without manaan and instead focused on the actual story pertaining to Heta Kol, Malgus and Darth Nul. Manaan just seems like a waste of time other than dailies. I mean as slow as it is getting content, why veer off the path of the current story going on? I just don't see that much importance with manaan's story.

Manaan 'invasion zone' is actually starting grow on me tbh . Although, as usual they could've made things even cooler by letting us drive/pilot the submarine underwater to travel from area to area manually. (instead the boring auto-pilot for 1 second then fade-to-black then magically teleport landed ) As for why content (story) is so slow: It's not really BioWare's fault necessarily. EA = who's really in-charge and they have little to no reason anymore to "invest" into significant SWTOR development when they see all they have to do is continue Cartel Market re-skin$ x infinity for the Free-To-Payers. There might be some hope for 7.2 though, since apparently it's gonna be all about PVP and....*drum roll*....CRAFTING! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite liked the storyline in Manaan Invasion Zone, some pretty interesting choices can be made there and I enjoy the story of subterfuge over total warfare. It was interesting.

Guyverarmor Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I was really hoping BW/EA would turn it around, and with 7.0 they actually took stuff away and made it worse than before a lot of aspects of the game and UI. Having access to one of the BIGGEST IPs in history, could be printing money with this game if they actually gave two stones about the game. Instead, an MMO Star Wars game is being wasted. I'm honestly not mad, just extremely disappointed. I now pretty much equate any SWTOR update announcements with what a lemon lot car salesman does. Overhype and extremely underdeliver.

I'm holding my breath on that one. A series of rushed, half-baked implementations, a 'modernized' UI that will likely have a handful of bugs that last 3 or 4 patches (so like a year and a half) while the remaining players left grow to accept the faults of the new look and functions, an increase in required mats per item that happens to coincide with a method either old or new to gather easier (but suspiciously leaves us with needing to farm a tiny bit more still), the accidental wiping out of an entire section of schematics players already know but have to pester support to get back, augs that also now open up slots for CM-only tunings. Idk, I'm probably putting more thought into it than what we'll actually get, but its fun to vomit out bad ideas and see how it managed to get one upped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
