Eanelinea Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Bioware, guys, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE don't forget about our companion LOVE INTERESTS. That means companions who are not ONLY Theron and Lana. You know, a lot of us kept Quinn, Vector, Doc, etc as our husbands/spouses. So don't forget them, okay? So excited!!!! Been here 7 years, can't wait for more new content and story!!

kukumburr Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Excited for new story, hope it's a decent amount. Onderon is cool and Mek'Sha looks like a good place for a new huttball map if you ask me. New gearing sounds... interesting. We'll see how balancing goes with that. At least PvP gear will be a thing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Very excited for the new expansion, particularly story. New planets seem like good choices and the new gear slot could open some very interesting paths. Agree in hoping for content for companions other than Lana and Theron.

AlainaFlute Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 All. of. it. But especially Nautolans!!! Hurry up September!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord-angelus Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Please provide more info with the gearing system. Every gear system you implement made it worse than before. Legacy gears is not a problem. This time listen to the community, and develop with them, not against them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionHalcyon Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Cautiously optimistic. This feels like the first real expansion since SoR. KotFE and KotET really were more of a failed attempt at a relaunch. This expansion feels more natural. See how the story plays out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTechFennekin Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hope we gain more than just the Nautolans as playable species, considering this is the star wars galaxy ya know, maybe in updates like how we got story updates with 5.0 we could gain new playable species during updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptionFL Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) How much story are we getting? Are we just helping Malgus or defeating him (again). I hope the amount of story is significant and not just a couple of flashpoints. Does switching factions still apply? It's going to be a long 5 months.

Talon_strikes Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Is there gonna be more RNG gearing and Korean grinding tho? Or will I have to PvE just to gear up for PvP? That's what I wanna know before I get excited. Edited April 14, 2019 by Talon_strikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonLadyK Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I love the Tau poster reward and thank you for fixing the deco error so quickly. Super excited that there is an expac with no Vitiate coming, and that hopefully I can kill Malgus for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurat Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 keep this war ongoing for years please! also bring more GSF stuff out with some gsf pve missions. that would be sick!! looking forward to onderon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaladan Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) i am waiting the new lvl cap, which means a change for spec trees and abilities. hoping we'll have a real balance !!! especially concerning PvP globally i am happy by this news, during a star wars celebration i was really afraid to see nothing about swtor Edited April 14, 2019 by Thaladan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azerdayne Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 This looks awesome. Mek-Sha seems like it could be a cool base of activities, the way that Odessen has been for the past few years. Also, the new tactical gear sounds very intriguing----almost like a way of adding additional advanced classes to the game? The caliber of content in Shattered Alliance FP's and Ossus has been the best in years (maybe ever). The story on Ossus feels like vanilla class story & SoR at its better moments. With what sounds like 4 veins of story choices going through Imp and Pub, this seems like some of the best news for this game in a long, long time. Really looking forward to Dantooine event, & really, really looking forward to this new expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysister Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I must admit, this was more than I was expecting. Very interested in the gear overhaul, and the more operations, the better. Kinda like that the op is gonna be centered around Czerka, seeing as everything in the game that has anything to do with Czerka has been great. I also look forward to exploring the new planets. And I kinda wanna hear the entire clip of that new character select screen music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CljGrudge Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Will we get all current ops re-balanced as well? It would be nice not to have 3.0 all over again, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nmyownworld Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I'm cautiously intrigued and hopeful. I didn't choose "saboteur" for my characters in JUS, but I hope that there are distinctive results in Onslaught for characters who are saboteurs. I'm glad that the JUS prologue is continuing and expanding, although I'll miss Ossus being used for more story. I'm not at all excited about involving a shipyard on Corellia (been there, seen similar). But, that seems to be just a part of the Onslaught story, not the whole thing, so okay. I like the image of Tau versus Malgus. I'm hoping it isn't another situation of killing off those characters. Although, for Force users "killing" doesn't seem to take like it does for mere mortals. Nice to see Onslaught providing solo and group content. Hopefully, PvP and GSF will get Onslaught-related content not long after 6.0. I think you all did a good job of a relatively quick turning of the SWTOR story back to Imp versus Pub. I'm not a Kotxx fan, and kept most of my characters out of it. I did do JUS on some of my characters, and I enjoyed it. Edited April 14, 2019 by Nmyownworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limenutpen Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Its all looking good in SWTOR atm. After Ossus things have taken a positive turn around, adding finally. So my sub can keep ongoing, The Vitiate Empire story was very sour for me in how it integrated in SW lore. Yes we had to deal with the Emperor (Tenebraw, Valkorian, Vitiate) finally but nearly totally eliminating factions in MMO is not really a way to do it. Especially when those factions are Jedi vs Sith, Empire vs Republic which are possibly the most noteworthy in sci-fi World history. I hope the expansion is good, and for me personally would have preferred to pay extra and get more quality. Well done to the SWTOR team. Many thought this would never happen. After Ossus and the success it had I was sure it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
