I have started a thread in the suggestion box asking for the return of the heroic cutscenes upon completion of the heroic mission when we finish the mission.

 

Customer services said that stuff mention in the suggestion box would get the development teams' attention.

 

Please go an sign over there asking for the heroic cut scenes to be restored.

Ty for speaking on my behalf, I like it when someone thinks everyone else shares their opinions.

You're welcome!

Is this republic's quest?

 

That raised the question ... Do there exist imperial side Heroics with cutscenes removed ?

 

I hardly ever play imp side, that's why I ask.

I know for sure the one on DK where you gather the Sith runes and have to put them on the altar in the right order has a scene missing - there is an lore codex entry that used to be granted when you saw the hand-in cutscene. (It's now granted correctly, they say, when the autocomplete runs once you kill the little beastie that appears when you are done with the altar.)

Every heroic had their final cutscene where you give the quest removed. The only exceptions are the ones you take from a terminal and terminal only, but they didn't have cutscenes in them to begin with.

I'd like them back to. It made the quests somewhat more interesting. I always felt after Shadows of Revan, it was just an excuse to water down content for those that have no idea what a spacebar is.

Yes please I would really like to see the cutscenes returned.

I also wish that the cutscenes in your house would come more than once. It looked absolutely lovely!

It would be nice if you took the mission from the actual quest giver that you go the return cutscenes. But if you take it from the terminal then that uses the current system.

 

By doing that both sides get what they want. The players that want story can get it by going directly to the mission source, and the players that want to grind heroics quickly can go to the terminals.

I fully agree ! To me, that's the best solution !

Agreed 100%

I actually don't care about them. The animations and one liners are repetitive. I see the animations a lot from other areas like story and flashpoints.

Agreed. They should make it so when we complete the Heroic, we get a Heroic Transport back to the questgiver to see the cutscene.

It would also fix the broken codexes and titles like Imperial Scholar..

It would indeed and that would be a good option. Same with A Question Of Motivation. I miss being given the option to either tell the Lt to surrender himself into custody or take the darkside option.

Tython H2 : It's like an criminal investigation story with the last third of the story just cut off.

I took up someone's referral code just to come back and post here.

 

Star Wars: The Old Republic has many features, but I feel like the main core of the game is Bioware's storytelling and the unique journeys that your character can take depending on their faction, class, and alignment.

 

So removing cutscenes from heroic missions, deleting entire quests (like the breadcrumbs on the Fleet) and eliminating LS/DS choices from certain missions is a huge step backward for the game. I have no intention of returning until Bioware restores the story content they removed.

 

There are simply too many other quality story-heavy RPGs for me to play whose devs haven't gone in and started deleting content in order to allow power-gamers to reach the end of the game more quickly.

 

For pete's sake, there's a Heroic called "The Man With the Steel Voice" on Hutta that doesn't even feature THE man with the steel voice anymore. The person who the quest is named after is no longer part of the quest.

 

That's ridiculous. People could easily spacebar past this story content before. If Bioware wanted to cater to that sort of person even further, they could have introduced some kind of automatic mode option that skips story content and makes your conversation choices for you - like they did in Mass Effect 3. But instead they just excised the story content wholesale.

 

I'm not returning until I hear that Bioware has made good on their recent push for story content. The thing is, the longer I stay away from the game while waiting for the missing story content to be restored, the more time-limited content Bioware is adding (like HK-55) that I'm permanently missing out on. More reasons to be discouraged from returning.

 

To say that I would be disappointed in the direction SWTOR is taking would be an understatement. If Bioware is making a push for story content, then why create new story content with one hand while crumpling up and throwing away existing story content with the other?

Viva la Heroic Cutscenes!

The folly of this decision is only emphasized with the Light Versus Dark event. It's bad enough that they reset progress on exploratory and bonus missions so that I couldn't remember where all but 3 of my characters were in playing through the quest catalog, but creating a new character to follow in their footsteps constantly brings reminders of how truncated the experience has become. I will not progress core characters through diminished content and I won't create new disposable ones to leapfrog them through a cheapened experience for achievement points, bound cartel crap, ugly cosmetic gear, or a wholly uninteresting and one-dimensional companion.

I can definitely agree with above about the dark vs light event highlighting this.

 

Gotta say it is getting really tedious to look up the ending of heroics on youtube to see the appropriate ending again.

Just was referred to this thread. Yes, please bring back the cutscenes!

I was wondering if BW has commented either on any other thread relating to this or perhaps at a cantina. I would love to know if this is being noticed at all.

Agreed.

I actually asked this question during today's lifestream but it seems like they either ignored or did not see it.

 

BW has not made any mention about it at all either. I did create a ticket and made a general inquiry with customer service a few months ago, they merely stated that that there were no plans to restore the heroic mission cutscenes as of that moment and told me that my best option was to start a thread in the suggestion box asking for the return of the heroic mission cutscenes.

 

I did create one and got quite a few people to sign it asking for the return of the heroic mission cutscenes but so far there has been no reply for dev regarding it.

 

I'm not entirely sure they even read the suggestions in the suggestion box.

I agree with this. They should make it optional, having the mission auto complete after finishing the objectives can also prevent you from finishing the bonus mission, such as the staged bonus mission on the killik area on alderaan.

 

I don't know if this has been already suggested before, but what if we can have the missions turned in by clicking on a mission item if you don't want to watch the cutscenes. Similar to the staged weekly on Makeb or the GSI missions.
