This game could learn from SWG

That's not what I said at all, but think it's time to agree to disagree.

That's the whole point though, you don't disagree (you haven't given one simple reason why it would negatively affect your gameplay), you simply don't want to like it for some reason.

I think thats exactly whats your saying

that is really not relevant here... no matter who works on producing the specific content the resources all come from the same budget... therefor to give some of that budget to one team it has to be at the expense of something else... unless you think the ToR dev team has an unlimited overhead

I am always puzzled by this attitude.

So what if aspects of the game are added that you personally do not want to take part in. Dont take part in them and your game experience remains untouched. What your post essentially boils down to is "If I personally dont want it, it should not be done..."

There are things that I personally would not take part in, if they were added....do I therefore think they should not be added? Of course not

Then maybe they SHOULD sacrifice some new ops for the expense of giving this game more depth

As it would require a large amount of time and resources to build and so take developers away from other content

edit, sorry I posted that ages ago and left my pc... and it didn't post, lol

True story...

Yeah, it might.

But another dozen FPs and OPs aren't going to suddenly make SWTOR a massively successful game, a JTL expansion just might.

SWTOR needs to expand it's depth and breadth not just add more of the same stuff people are already bored with.




And more players = more money which, may at least, lead to more FPs and OPs anyway.

Just for the record, you seem to be bullying at this point, or simply missing the other posters point.

The previous poster is rightly saying that the development of new, large scale systems for TOR will divert resources away from other potential new features. So, for example, the development of a JTL-style expansion would very likely divert resources away from the development of new planets, or new end game raids, therefore if I don't like JTL but do like raiding then such a decision by the BW/EA would negatively affect my gaming experience.


Personally, I don't like space combat so the development of a JTL-style expansion would likely divert resources away from activities I do want to see developed (open world pvp, new raids, bigger planets).


I am also aware, ofc, that companies like BW have multiple development teams that *can* work independantly of one another. However, the larger the project, the more teams are likely to be involved. So, developing something like player housing is unlikely to affect the development of new endgame raids because they are radically different types of content and thus likely to be different teams. However, developing JTL-style space combat is huge, requiring people from the world builder team, animators, mechanics, art teams etc which would definitely divert resources away from things like new raids, warzones, pvp revamps etc.
