1st Expansion - Rise of the Hutt Cartel

Here's my predictions:

- The new release will be buggy as hell (no one will dispute this based on BW's track record so far haha)

- They will take your money but screw up the 5 days early entry w/ glitches and massive lag and downtime so badly that all the early people will be pissed off as hell

- If you wait a little while, the price will come waaaay down or might even become free as look at the price to buy the game now ... compared to launch ... what a slap in the face.

Whee~ Preorder time!

Not necessarily. Chances are, the expansion will come with only two new item tiers. The new skills will probably even out several classes. Almost ALL of your stats come from your gear, not your level. At level 50, I have 415 cunning on my Operative before gear and only 5,010 HP. Another five levels might put me up to base 450 Cunning, and base of 5,500 HP. I don't anticipate that our DPS or ability to survive is going to dramatically jump from this expansion. It would be foolish of them to remove the current gear climb, since it is rather nicely paced.

Just becoming level 55 isn't going to be enough to really swing the balance of the current content.

Looking forward to all that Dread Guard and Elite War Hero gear being useless?

You know, I'm excited about this expansion, but I will not dispute this. XD

All in all i don`t see a difference with other games expansions.

im sorry guys, but where did this info come from ?
