So, the question then becomes, after how poorly managed SWTOR has been over its first 6 months, do you really want to give BW/EA more money?

I have a job and can afford $15 per month plus a yearly expansion?

everything in there was pretty much found already in the data mining by Torhead. It seems some of the stuff from 1.3 was pushed back but it all makes sense.

Grats? Wasn't the point of my post. Let me provide an example to elaborate my point. SWTOR is a mid-to high end restaurant. I go there a couple times per week, but the service is always bad, they regularly over cook my steaks, and at least once per week I find a bug in my food. Sure, I can afford to keep eating there, but why would I keep giving my money to that restaurant when there are other similar restaurants out there that don't have all those problems? If I kept eating there despite all those issues, what would that say about me?

Honestly, I can't believe all the haters. Don't get me wrong, I was looking into Mist of Pandas and didn't have so much and was deciding on leaving the game. This trailer has given me lots of hope. And please stop saying" expansion." This is not a expansion, it's going to be a patch, prolly 1.4. Expanions would mean a new box to buy at the store, new CE edition more money to pay out of our pockets beside subscription. Look at BF3 at E3, that's a expanions. There charging 49.99 for their new content , if they didn't bring that up here, then we don't have to pay for it.
Lets Break it Down:

New Ops: Terror from Beyond

The game launched with one, technical two and bosses added on shortly after. We just got a new operations and already planned on brining out another. Not gonna lie, that's pretty cool. It's gives hardcore players new content so they don't get bored and casual players that play stroy mode and just enjoy.

One shown playable species: Cathar

There is only one shown, doesn't mean they won't bring out another. I wouldn't peg it as a for sure thing for only one new one. Honestly, how many did you expect? For the lack of a better comparison, WoW only comes out with 1-2 new species and they have probably half of the testing they need to get done due to the voice acting. I wouldn't expect any more than three and that's just being generous. BTW, the species looks sweet. Can't wait to play and hopefully they have a paid species switch so people don't have to level the same character.

New Level Cap and Abilities:

Never seen this as a issue. Level cap will proly be 55 with the one new planet. New Abilities and level cap means new talent tees with a new ability in each talent tree with porly one new ability shared with your class and one new ability with your advanced class. That's a total of at most five new abilities per advanced class. I can't see a negative in this. Maybe class imblance is the only thing so will have to wait and see.

New Planet-Makeb

Let's be honest, it's goona take a total of 7-10 hours to get 5 levels on 1 new planet. This will not make or break the game by any means for the frustration of hitting the new cap. This is prolly my least favorite addtion unless they add more on the class stories.

New Companion: HK-51

Proly going to get this companion on the new planet while leveling. This means everyone is going to have one shared companion. However, I don't like the idea of that but, I don't really care about companions that much. I know the community wanted this to be a compaion so there giving it to everyone but they better not make this a habit of giving everyone shared companions.

New Wz: Ancient HyperGates

Tor launched with three wz's. Civil war, hutball and voidstar. Just came out with novare coast and already coming out with another. I this rate, Wz's are going to hit the masses. were going to have five different wz's all in one year. That's preety cool and no complaints here.

New Space Mission:

I lied, this is my least favorite feature that's coming out. Not much to say. Only thing is, it's been said countless times by devs that they have big plans for space missions/battles and I doubt one mission is there full plan.

F2P to Lvl 15 in July

Ok every subscription based game does this so I see no problem or seeing that its going F2P any time soon. Wow, rift and I even think tera is already doing it. So let's put the breaks on F2P please.

Not mentioned.

ETA of 1.3 and Character Transfers. Trust me I wanted to hear all the info on xfers but that doesn't appeal to the masses sadly only the people playing the game. They want people to join and that's their goal at E3. They can't only target there players base at this big of an event. We need xfers and we need them bad. Hopefully that comes out soon enough or none of these updates/content reveals matter.

Is this a sign for a micro-tran store ? Or just additions to the Digital Delux and Collector's Edition sets?
