Tyrth Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 There has been some tension by some on these forums lately regarding the lack of a vision statement for 2014...well...I won't keep you in suspense any longer!! If I steel some of your thunder Bioware my apologies!! You guys there in the Austin office can feel secure there IS NOT a leak....or IS there? joking of course...relax.. These are in no particular order (though some will certainly come LATE in 2014) 1.) A QOL adjustment, most likely around 2.7-2.8 allowing the ability to queue for both GSF AND WZ simultaneously... 2.) GSF skins of our class ships-look for these around late summer... 3.) Legacy wide GSF comms-this will NOT come before #1 due to being a bit more complicated to implement.. 4.) A new huttball WZ set in Quesh... 5.) TWO new Arenas... 6.) A new 55 hard mode of False Emperor (though they may ultimately decide on Directive 7).. 7.) TWO new GSF maps with different rule settings(one of which will be last ship standing) Now...so far..not bad(especially if you dig GSF) but not GREAT right? It's toward late summer/early fall through the end of the year that we start getting the heavy hitters... 8.) Ship Decoration-WOOOHOO....NO!! Calm down!!..It will NOT be player housing per say..it will be items sold via the cartel market/legacy unlocks for some for items that can be placed in PREDETERMINED locations in your ship just like the target dummy, mailbox, GTN kiosk ect. 9.) New player Race-THE VOSS purchased via the cartel market..(sorry Togruta fans..the clipping issues are not going to make it worthwhile) 10.) A new companion(faction neutral and obtained similar to Treek) 11.) At least the START of SWTOR's version of an epic weapon OR armor set(not both) quest which involves the mysterious ancient tome on tatooine...now..why I say the "START" is because it ties directly into #12 12.) Yavin IV-this will be roughly the same scale as Makeb in both size and story. The mysterious ancient tome's origins involve much of the sith/jedi lore from Yavin IV. This planet will also bring with it #13,#14,#15--a new OP, FP, and daily area respectively that are all tied to Yavin IV. Yavin IV WILL NOT see a level increase if they manage to hit the 2014 target date/will be march 2015 if they go with a 5 level increase. *Note: Things you will NOT see in 2014 are as follows-Class specific story continuation, A new class, any sort of instanced player housing not mentioned in #8, Legacy wide datacrons, mini games such as pazaak or swoop races, cross server queues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTap Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Nobody cares about legacy datacrons. In fact there is quite strong opposition to that I care, I have a lot of alts and I don't want to get the same datacrons 20x. I'd much rather pay x million credits or some cc to unlock them per character. I'm guessing Bioware adds it for more cc revenue.

I care to i have close to 10 55 or working on my 10 th one . they did say back in may of last year it's being worked on . they are tiring to figure out how to put in were does not impact the game to much . if they still are remains to be seen. IMO lack of major fast DEV will kill the game for stuff other games had off the bat .. don't get me wrong they are doing some awesome stuff but its not fast enough and sooner or later SW will go under to another major label . or another SW release sense EA sighed a agreement with Disney to DEV more games with the SW name ..

redsovereign Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Voss player race urghh... You know we could actually instead get a cool race like Nautolan or Togruta. Yes I know that the OP is bs:ing but I really do hope we don't get Voss. They are super laaaaaaaaaame Edited January 9, 2014 by redsovereign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderKeeva Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Actually Yavin was datamined by someone on reddit (along with Ziost and Bothawui), so there might be some merit to that claim. But the pictures show asset names for specific classes, so I wouldn't be so sure that class stories will not continue. And I'm curious where you got the part with the epic weapon and the ancient tome on Tatooine. http://dd.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/1lzxcd/datamining_new_class_story/ And as for Flashpoints, the Imperial Warlord Flashpoint still has not been implemented yet. Given the fact that almost everything TORhead datamined was implemeted at some point (Lost Island, Terror From Beyond, Scum and Villainy, Titans of Industry....it's a safe bet that Imperial Warlord is coming as well at some point. http://www.torhead.com/guide/leak-1.5 Also, another Flashpoint, Kuat Drive Yards was confirmed by the developers, it is supposed to be role neutral and scheduled to launch in February. Patch 2.6 or 2.7 perhaps? http://dulfy.net/2013/11/14/swtor-ea-cantina-tour-thumbdrive-asset-files/ The developers really hinted at new Huttball maps a while back but they also promised cross-server queues and look what happened to those. Also it's a logical conjucture that they won't leave GSF in its current embrionic state. But what the future brings, we do not know for it is always in motion.

DimmuJanKaarl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 k not to get too much into this never-ending and very tired debate about legacy datacrons but wth would anyone want to bother with datacrons after getting them once? you got your lore master achievement now move on. what you want: is do work once get free stats in my alts. if they were going to do that I could think of a lot better places I'd like to only have to work once for. "i already RAN this accursed op once! just make these unassembled uw drops legacy wide and reusable!" anyway, they do that already in other ways, like getting max affection on companions. I am filed to the brim with presence and my companions have like a million bonus dmg/heals. also, the total stat bonus on all datacrons adds up to two things: jack and ****; and Jack left town. with not an enormous amount of effort I'm sitting at 1585 bonus damage on my main sentinel and with a very proc-heavy rotation my dps will go up by what? 3dps? forest and trees my friend. tell ya what you can have your datacrons and I'll take a free obroan relic that I had to grind wz's til my eyes bled to get.

Merwanor Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) And what I would like to see is everything OP mentioned would not be comming... Though a new planet and a new race would be nice, but I would much rather have Togruta. GSF is a big disappointment, I wanted PvE space combat, not boring unbalanced PvP crap. This is of course not official, so I don't believe that this is how updates will be in the future, but I hope it will not be like this.

Turns out Makeb used to be Varl and there used to be class stories there. Also turns out the other planets are abandoned or at least the class stories there are. That's it for me. Im out.

Apparently 5 was about endless daily grinding and tauntaun sales. Not the most riveting fiction, but better than the last Tom Cruise film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZionHalcyon Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have a reason to suspect this list IS accurate. Thanks for confirming my decision to leave - Butchering Yavin and removing all the class quests, and making it a daily area? First finding out that Makeb was originally supposed to be Varl and ALSO had class quests, and now this - oy what a day today's been.. Well, I finally wanted some clear direction on the story of the game, and its obvious now. What a sad waste of potential Thanks for the memories SWTOR - if only you had been Freemium from the start - then you might have generated enough revenue that the original dev team that gave a damn about story wouldn't have been fired. No wonder the heads of Bioware quit over this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
