Agree, best game is getting even better. For my gaming needs I'm constantly split between Wow and Swtor, but GW2 is on solid 3rd position. But if I take in account also lore, great sw feeling while being in game .... Swtor is king.

Although the reputation system is a nice addition, SWTOR stopped being a game I was interested in playing a long time ago. The F2P model is terrible also and gives no incentive to go back unlike TSW and TERA, buying action bars is out right ridiculous.

If you go back now , you would be a preferred player and you get 4 action bars and 6 character slots. I think your information is rather old. Also if a F2P player pays $4.99 they get what I just mentioned . You also get to play the whole game for free level 1-50. TSW is B2P $30 up front and you then have to pay monthly $5-$10 for content. SWTOR beats that. As for TERA is it the whole game for free ? I doubt it but someone can tell me if it is I'm sure.

As to the update then yeah it does seems pretty decent and looks to be starting on Ilum and continuing on other planets in the future. At least the reputation is tied to legacy so no need to grind on multiple characters.

As to the posters talking about population , the game has gotten a lot busier of late and that can't be a bad thing really.

Cheers,

I'm a paying subscriber for two accounts, and I don't resent what I'm paying (not wealthy by the way) and I love this game and what it has to offer. So i'm trying to understand why someone would provide a comment with such disdain... So can you explain your comment.. I'm really just curious.

I think that one of the main reasons why SWTOR might have failed, as some say, is because of all of the people complaining every single time a new update comes or new content comes out because it is not what they want.  Just stop complaining already, if you don't like the game then please stop playing and stop coming on here and such and complaining about it!  There are some of us who enjoy playing the game and so just leave it at that and go play WoW or another game instead.  Sorry had to say it because I am tired of all of the childish idiots complaining everytime something new is posted or complaining because PvP is not the way they want it to be!  All of you people that fall into that catagory, go play another game or go make your own game and comment there!

I would be very happy because then while levelling my 9 toons I can take another path.

That is something I would like to see with a real expansion pack. Add in at least 3 new neutral planets to level on. Planets where both factions are mixed in the same play area so open world PvP could actually work as well.

You would have to go the usuall route to complete your class quest chain, but you could ignore all the side quests and just level on the alt planets instead. But they would have to make less quests worth more XP. Plus make them much longer each to save on VO costs to do it.

This could add in new areas for this rep grind they are adding in as well. Putting these factions on the neutral planets to grind for rep while questing. None of this will happen, but it is fun to dream I guess.

Somebody mentionned that Terror of Beyond introduced the style which would introduce the style of  the armor showed and I agree that TFB Operator IX location is very Tron like - I absolutely love it. I am delighted that they will introduce new armor.  No reason why advance civilization would not have something like that, while millions years behind Earth could have.

For those who never saw it - here is a video of Operator IX kill

I made my own video of roaming there after raid, as I was very impressed by the design.

As much as any new content is good for a game, a game that is hurting and struggling to bring in new players one would think the company would start focusing on where the game is bad instead of adding little to add to the game. Expanding a near worthless system like the legacy system is just telling everyone to expect more of of the same that made the game lose so many players in the first place.

Good for those that stuck around, short term.

Long term, doesnt do much to bring in or keep new players and certainly doesnt bring back old players. So, fans can cheer all they way, but they are not facing the reality of a game that is hurting, why its hurting or how to save it so it lasts longer.

Clueless.

For a few folks usually the same ones who over and over post Swtor is damned if they do and damned if they dont. As one of the many who actually play this game I am looking forward to it.

I think you got your few and many adverbs switched.  I logged in last weekend and the server was deserted.

Hyping a few minor changes like this patch has is only something EA would do.

 

What did you do, log in at 4:00am? That explains alot. . . Either that or you got SWTOR mixed up with some other game.

When SWTOR launched 10,000 was the cap for a full server.

8,000-9,000 was the range for Heavy.

All they did was change the cap to appear full and heavy.

As of FTP model

176 players is a full server

20-80 is heavy.

All they did was change the cap.

I am here to tell you that the server i am on for one has a at LEAST 3 different instances of the fleet at any given time -each instance is almost ALWAYS in the 250+ people in it range. You very clearly dont know what you are talking about or you are flat out full of it-im inclined to think both.

Im sorry but this game left a sour taste in my mouth since launch. Yes I know they have fixed a lot of issues players had but its to little to late. I doubt if TOR will ever make the money back that they dump into it ot make this game. They better hope they someday can at least break even.

Which is a terrible shame, the first couple of months are critical for an MMO, as the amount of people trying it will never be higher - and most of them won't return if their initial experience is a bad one.

I've recently returned to the game after taking a six-ish months break, and I'm enjoying myself again (when I'm not off playing TSW at least :P).

Looking forward to 1.7!

The Legacy system is actually one of the most liked features, the only problem with it was that it launched too late, and that it hasn't seen much development since the first few months after it was released.

Of course for raiders and people only interested in endgame content it might be pretty useless, but for those of us who enjoy making alts it's pretty awesome (I've recently rolled a smuggler and got HK-51 as a companion since level 1, along with the massive presence bonuses from my Legacy)

The reason is pretty simple, he wanted everything to be for free - no restrictions whatsoever.
