Better trailer , with a nice tried & true TEASE at the end of course but honestly it all still seems like glossy fan cosplay combined with patented Disney diluting of SW brand. Not to mention oversaturation of diversity-just-for-the-sake-of-diversity, instead of a more subtle & story-driven approach. ( whereby each character's external race is secondary to their internal motivation ) Personally, i won't be contributing any fund$ toward Disney+ corp/sub ...unless they release it on Blu-Ray or in a movie theater limited run. p.s. Sorry but 'Trinity' will always be Trinity , no matter what costume she's wearing, so right there it just pulls me out of SW realm into 'The Matrix'.

uhh, you think "the mainstream consumer" is playing SWTOR ? Wow, ok then. And since when are Space Flight Sims intended for "the mainstream consumer" anyways? smh

Agreed yep. It's pretty pathetic tbqh , how they try to insult our awareness of gaming history ( not to mention insulting our intelligence ) . No company , not even BioWare back in tha day, wants to acknowledge they pale in comparison to SWG's innovation & genius. If only SOE hadn't allowed that weasel from LucasArts ( i can't name him for legal reasons, but it rhymes with Fooleeoh Borez ) to blatantly ruin SWG with that awful garbage 'NGE' system ( they should've just kept the CU but added the content/quests ) perhaps we'd still be enjoying & thriving today united into one grand server. ( instead of 3295748943 differing emulators ) . There will never be another Raph Koster , nor another SWG. And sadly, imo , after SWTOR is finally put out of its' deteriorating mis$ery, i'd be shocked if any SW based MMO is ever gonna made again. Bingo ^ . Once again: i'm only curious because it's STAR WARS of course. But my expectations are very very low. I'm wayyyyy more interested in SW: Eclipse ....!

Yeah to me that's my only real "problem" ( gaming wise ) , since i personally love character customization & OPTIONS. Bingo ^ yep that's probably the issue from a code/Dev perspective. Plus, nowadays even if they did offer male/female option, then some 3rd/4th group might get upset. So i guess they figure just pick ONE and stick with it story-wise, focus-wise, etc. Still though , it seems like many other games are offering way more diverse customization options and imo tha's a good thing. Curiuos to see SW:Outlaws pans out either way.

You just might get your wish next week --> https://forums.swtor.com/topic/934885-game-update-75-livestream-coming-may-1st/ That has already happened and has been happening since around 2016/2017. Alas the slow deterioration of a game that just might end up as the last SW themed MMO ever.

How so? Not sure why you think that ? Because i haven't seen ANY info ( officially ) that mentions anything remotely similar to Ghost Recon type complex TEAM ( ai teammates SQUAD control ) dynamics; other than her one "pet" companion or whatever. Which reminds me: As mentioned earlier in this thread, how do you feel about the whole being locked into "female" protagonist thing? ( re: no options to customize character ) -- Do you think it's just sorta like an "equal" substitution purposely trying to make up for all the mostly "male" protagonists in SW games over the years? ( like Jedi Survivor/Fallen Order , for example ) Or do you think it's just much ado about nothing? ( as in, the "gender" is inconsequential and shouldn't affect immersion if the story & gameplay are enjoyable )

It doesn't, except in very rare cases, since for obvious reasons they just can't go around replying to each & every "ping" on these forums. ( Plus they are busy doing things like Coding & such ) Your best bet instead is to just send a detailed email to: support@swtor.com

No such code exists, nor will it ever exist for SWTOR, since 1's & 0's cannot detect the depths of human momentary motivations. ( much less whether or not a player crashed into an asteroid or their cat just happened to walk across their keyboard ) Unless maybe both the game has access to player's computer-camerra and/or the player has 'Elon Musk implant' installed

Forums, as antiquated & unnecessary as they supposedly are, still provide fascinating entertainment value to augment the game. Truth is, it's both because they aren't mutually exclusive. A symbiotic relationship, they must be. One problem to remember though: Players can't code & release EXPANSIONS.

As i suspected. Like i said above: We're pretty much arguing the same point in different ways lol ( typical forums ) First: it wasn't just "me" ( and you know it ) . Nice try though. Secondly, you never mentioned JTL in your original comment, so yeah i corrected that omission with additional facts & intel. Does it really matter in 2024 SWTOR? Nope. Game is....well.... obvious is obvious. i already did , but you just don't like/accept them. The links were from BIOWARE themself and i provided them more for other readers, so they would have something way more substantial record-wise to go on besides just "Ramalina said: " i don't expect , nor desire, anything from you, since i don't know you. Once again, i posted the links for OTHER people to reference as context. Your acceptence, or lack thereof, is merely incidental. uh, welcome to basically any company/corporation in existence. i don't work for BioWare ( i only helped them unofficially ) and therefore i don't need to "achieve" anything on SWTOR forums. At this point you're just trying to bait & troll me with your silly goalpost-moving "prove MORE to me!!!" tactics. These forums are pretty barren & bleak these days, but not so much to fall for your tricks. Particularly when i don't even know why/what we're arguing about anymore LOL.

That's not what i meant with my 1st un-edited reply: https://forums.swtor.com/topic/934634-opened-that-ultimate-platinum-pack/?do=findComment&comment=9811088 and you know it. You're just being a typical semantics-slick-contrarian. Read the CONTEXT dude c'mon. Heck, did we want to make money when we first set out to create SWG? Sure. DUH, who doesn't??!! But it wasn't the sole motivator. The profit$ were on equal footing, in tandem, as the goal & pride to make a truly epic, immersive, unique, wondrous GAME. Priority One. If you build it great, they will come. Then, SOE ( tbh just one particular jerk at LucasArts ) lost his way and ruined SWG forever. In any event, now you're sitting here, on your high horse, trying lecture me with "business needs revenue" -----NO ONE IS ARGUING AGAINST THAT !!!!!! The point is: METHODS by which to generate such revenue. Do you really not understand the overall ( greater ) point i'm making here?!?!?!!?!!?!

When did i ever say that? ( hint: i never did and i certainly never used the term "sales platform" LOL. -- i only implied/meant it wasn't using micro-transations bait&switch type tactic ) You might read my posts ( who cares if you do or not ) but you certainly aren't comprehending them. Once again you state the irrelevant obvious lol. So you're either trolling or you're just.....something i can't say on these forums. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GENERATING REVENUE. The specific issue at hand, if you bother to read what i'm typing instead of just reacting like some bot, is HOW companies choose to generate such revenue$. Do they do it out of respect for their playerbase/customers? Or do they disregard such morality and go with pure greed instead? ( Like, for example, do they incorporate such reskins as schematics amidst in-game lore-driven QUESTS for to encourage PLAYER interdependence & immersion? Or do they instead just slap together soulless items x infinity within an outside-the-game App and try to disguise it as "Cartel Market" as if we're all stupid sheep? )

Again, you really do often sound like canned 'ChatGPT' with your seemingly irrelevant replies sometimes. Let me try to speak more slowly for you: There....is....nothing....wrong....with.... $ubscriptions....in....MMOs. ( duh ) Unless....those....$ubscriptions....are....rendered....devalued....because....most...."content"...bait&switches....into....coming....from...micro-transational....exterior....1-click-to-pick....cash-grab....reskin "shops"....meant...for....transient....sheep...who....somehow...believe...."free"-to-play....is....a....thing....worthy....of....human....gamers. If you don't understand this, and don't see how fundamentally detrimental it is ( and has been ) to the pure fabric & spirit of MMOs and Communities, then you are beyond reaching and no forum post will ever convince you. Good day, *beep bope boop* .
