Jerba Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) For all the additional announcements and interviews, check out this thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=817671. At first, I was concerned that the level cap is raised to 65 because we didn't receive a lot of level 60 content, then I saw that all of the older operations are scaled to 60+. So TFB, S&V, DF and DP won't become obsolete and even the old level 50 operations will become a challenge again. And according to the Polygon interview, they have not abandoned the MMO aspects. For now, they are focused on story but we will get new operations etc. in the future. After watching the trailer and all the interviews a few times, I am so hyped for this expansion, can't wait for it to arrive!

MorgenBlue Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So just old raids and nothing for PvP? Really? Old raids are old let them be old and create new raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 With the ability to create an instant 60, is there any chance we'll be able to buy even more character slots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azudelphi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sad to hear the level cap will be raised to 65, as that way, all 55 content becomes obsolete (TFB, S&V, DF and DP). And I am also concerned about the lack of information on group content, specifically flashpoints and operations. From the Developer Blog: Additionally, many of our existing Flashpoints and Operations are being scaled to 60+, giving you many more Elder Game options at Level 65.

Icestar Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We are happy to announce our brand new digital expansion: Knights of the Fallen Empire! Awesome, as someone that has been following this game since 2009 and played since pre-launch I am very happy about this. This game really needs a real Bioware expansion and it feels like this is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbdgamer Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wait, so if you can make a character fresh at the gate at level 60 then why did I spend so much time leveling up all 20 of my alts? I mean the story is good, but I did not need to play through the Sith Warrior story 5 times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caiuson Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So bloody excited. New companions, new storyline and new planets? All of which are *free* while I'm subbed? THANK YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLordSnake Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I've been wanting increased level cap! Thank you!!! I was hoping for 65-70, but 65 I'll take that any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoZhao Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm a big fan of the story telling side of things, so I extend my thanks to the decision makers on the SWTOR team for throwing me a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceMatai Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This looks great and all, but I'm very concerned about if they're adding NEW Operations/Flashpoints and PvP maps with the expansion. If they don't.. wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolose Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 So bloody excited. New companions, new storyline and new planets? All of which are *free* while I'm subbed? THANK YOU. Agreed And plus level cap raised to 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xytandragon Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This looks awesome, will there be lots of new planets? Out of curiosity how many, don't want to know which ones, it's a surprise but how many? I'm really hyped for this. Great job the SWTOR team. Story is what drives this game it's what makes a fun experience and keeps me playing and enjoying this great tale. The last expansions were very enjoyable if not a little to quick to complete. Level 65 is going to be great, no matter what people say this game is developing and progressing at a good pace and the fact that you guys listen to what fans want is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the mmorpg games that do everything for profit, profit profit. The very fact this new expansion is free for subscribers is a lovely gesture that really shows the relationship between the team and us fans. Keep this going I'm enjoying the game.

revcrisis Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Any information about PVP additions and changes? Also, you can create an unlimited amount of new 60 characters? As in, we can create 16 new 60s (one of each AC?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
