ShredderStatus Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) The story is great. The rest was unessary... This was padding gameplay at its finest I'm all for change but for the right reasons.... The story was far too fast ... And not worth the amount of content lost with the changes There is no endgame Edited October 21, 2015 by ShredderStatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizartha Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You do realize that the expansion is only 50% released so far right? There are 9 more chapters to go that they will be releasing every month starting next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 9 more chapters to go that they will be releasing every month starting next year. 7 more chapters not 9 BUT they also said in a live Stream that Chapters 1-16 were Season 1 (their wording nor mine) and that there would be more (seasons) after this so I'm thinking Archonn and Vaylin (sp) are not going to be killed off by the end of Ch 16.

kongol Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 yea it took a huge amoutn of time for these 9 chapters and flashpoints for me a whole 7 hours lol... next 7 chapters say maybe 4 more hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kossuth Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Starting "early next year" that could mean Jan, feb, or march of 2016. Personally I don't think I am going to wait that long. This seems to me like another star wars MMO that made changes to their game, and those changes killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was far too fast ... And not worth the amount of content lost with the changes There is no endgame Agreed. Your new end game is grind 4 year old content to gain back what was taken. Enjoy the grind because there isn't anything else new to do except one FP with little lifespan. You do realize that the expansion is only 50% released so far right? There are 9 more chapters to go that they will be releasing every month starting next year. You do realize that doesn't matter when compared to the actual content you get vs cost or in what the OP said that what we did get wasn't worth what we had to give up. Saying there is more chapters to come is all wall and good till you realize you paid $15 for one hour of content and the rest of the time you spend grinding out affection you had already maxed but BW did think it was grindy enough so they designed a way to make you do it all again but this time with more hurdles (down leveling) and a longer grind (250K instead of 10K) The new chapters coming will be completed faster than some gamers can actually download and install them.

ShredderStatus Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) So angry Im making an observation. It's a supported one.... Why wouldn't they have fnished the microdlc into a real expansion. Then release it. Edited October 21, 2015 by ShredderStatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quraswren Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 No **** I'll spend more money going to watch the Mocking jay Prt 2 and SW ep7 then I'd spend on two months of sub time. Really, I'll spend $9.00 and watch SWe7 and it will be what? 2 to 2.5 hours long. A much better deal than one hour of new content for $15. IF you spend more on the over priced frills thats all on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordkoon Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) ''Eliminated all the grind'' 250k influence per companion/alliance member needed Storywise was like a small KOTOR addon, but gameplay was boring, easy and not very creative in terms of fights. It is mostly a ''meh''. And why on Earth are the new chapters starting next year?

I feel another expansion coming to a fullstop....again Should have clarified, "Eliminated the grind of leveling that requires you to spend half an hour killing things for less than five minutes of cutscene story". I don't recall very many MMO's being creative in terms of fighting when it comes to leveling. Creativity is usually reserved for Dungeons and Raids where tactics come into play.

Vember Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Locusts..... This is another thread about folks not getting what they think they are 'entitled' to. Seriously if you got 1 HOUR of enjoyment for 15 dollars then you BROKE even. PERIOD. Go to the movies, spend more. Every time Bio releases an expac I see the same posts, its never good enough. /sigh.... next thread... Agree with this. The cost of a month long sub is one two hour movie.

Ketinvik Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Many of the changes that are being made streamline the code for the developers. This, these changes that people claim make no sense and that no one wants, these are the things that will allow the development team to pump out content faster. The science of software development is a young one and continues to evolve. Sometimes you have an existing project that can be changed to follow a more advantageous path but only through some amount of pain...sometimes it cannot be done at all. Believe it or not, continue playing or not, I'm betting this is what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're one of those types that goes to a movie Alone and/or doesn't want popcorn or a refreshment. Where I live it's about $12 for a single ticket then add something to drink and a snack at Theater prices I'm paying roughly $20 to $22 now add to that if there is another person and they get the same things that becomes $40 to $44.

Linyivee Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) While the story may be awesome, the problem resides with what was removed. All of the clothing vendors on fleet are gone. You have to get 'random' items from c-market packs. Instead of being given the ability to choose, you are now stuck with either random drops or random-expensive purchases. I call that a BIG loss. Level 55 clothing vendors use to sell sets. We also lost the original Dark Reaver clothing sets. If I knew they were going to be removed, I would have concentrated on completing my Sentinel DR set. Now, I am out of luck. Yes, I am very greatful for the new story content; however, we had to lose a lot to gain less.

Quraswren Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Lmao, when are you leaving again? Sooner than I previously thought that for sure. One... hour... you do realise there's more to this expansion than talking to all of your companions now, right? Really.... what? Beyond story what does this expansion bring besides regrinding things BW took away or replaying 1 to 4 year old content? I guess you're one of those types that goes to a movie Alone and/or doesn't want popcorn or a refreshment. I never go alone but I don't partake in their over priced cartel market....... Sorry refreshment stand. Truth still stands. For a $9.00 movie, it's a better in given the comparison he was making vs the game. Where I live it's about $12 for a single ticket then add something to drink and a snack at Theater prices I'm paying roughly $20 to $22 now add to that if there is another person and they get the same things that becomes $40 to $44. Sucks to be you then. I get out on $9. If you want the extra frills and your paying for someone else have at it but it could be done for cheaper. You just choose to spend more than you needed to.

Qui_Jon Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You do realize that the expansion is only 50% released so far right? There are 9 more chapters to go that they will be releasing every month starting next year. And for what I would be paying by keeping a subscription over the next year to get all those more 7 chapters (and if these are any indication) 4-5 hours of game play from them, I could buy 3 single player RPGs next year and get about 10x if not more play time from them. I know every fanboi wants to jump up and defend bioware because these 9 chapters atleast feel like they are laying good ground work for a nice story, but in all seriousness, this is bioware taking what could have been a good solo rpg game like mass effect and breaking it up into bite size pieces and charging people 3 times more then they would for a single game release. And before anyone asks me what I paid for the "free" expansions, if I am maintaining a subscription I am paying for it. Nothing in this new expansion requires it to be remotely considered an MMO and to be played on their servers. It could easily have been an single player xbox, ps3, or pc game.
