Hell they could take GSF clean out of swtor and make it is’s own game. I’d pay $60 for a GSF that was good and received regular updates.
My thoughts on SWTOR is that it should have been released as a single player game with multiplayer capability. It’s a very fun game to level in, but it goes completely off the rails once you finish the story. They should have thought more Diablo rather than WOW.
Swtor’s huttball map may quite possibly be the most fun I’ve ever had in a pvp venue, ever. I daresay the ilum gree event was quite enjoyable as well, although I attracted considerable ire and even death threats for camping the pylon for hours at a time!

That part that really bugged me about SWTOR was it should have been a three faction game with Smuggler and Bounty Hunters being a neutral “I do the job and I get paid”. It would have made the game more interesting than “Sith vs Jedi” and classes that are neither Sith nor Jedi being awkwardly folded into one of the two factions. Somehow criminals that are smugglers are on the “good side” and criminals that are mercenaries are on the “bad side” because… well Han Solo was a smuggler on the good side and Boba Fett was a mercenary on the “bad side” therefore all smugglers are good and all mercenaries are bad.

I played SWTOR back at release, and for a long time it was a WoW killer for me. Enjoyable storylines and combat was fun. Plus, it’s Star Wars! I left when the game became free to play. The amount of inconveniences thrown onto you for not paying the premium rate was pretty redonkulous. Even if you were a subscriber, it was pretty bad. My memory may be muddled as it was a long time ago, but I feel like they had three levels…. Free to play, legacy subscriber, and premium subscriber. The premium was more than the legacy (which was the price a regular subscriber had been paying), but the premium was the version of the game you were accustomed to playing.
Anyhow, I ended up leaving since the whole system was bull honky.
I recently have been wanting to check it out again, because the story really was incredible. However I cannot access my account and you can’t get customer support without paying for a subscription. Lol. So no thanks.

I gave up after the first one. The scene where Rey started to use the jedi mind trick on Kylo was where I bailed out. Every nerd bone in my body was outraged.
I never completed leveling in SWTOR.
It was like Shadowlands story questing but 3 or 4 times as long with Maw Jaina dumping exposition on you the whole time.
So many dead end hallways, kill them on the way in, kill them again on the way out.
RIP SWG. GOD I LOVED THAT GAME.
Sorry, loud noises.

I don’t mind the main storyline being fully voiced with cutscenes, but every single kill and fetch quest? That’s when it gets to be too much for me. A few years ago I tried out their newest expansion and turned it off after an hour because I had spent most of that time watching cutscenes instead of playing a game.
Do you still have your security key? best thing about swtor is as long as you still have an authenticator attached to your account, you get 100 cartel coins per month even if you aren’t subbed. I think I have upwards of 10k coins atp.
this. i miss my ship and my home out in the desert. SWG was one of the best mmorpgs ever made.

Var Suthra: “Yeah so I lost like . . . all my evil superweapons to the Sith . . . can you get them back?”
Jedi Knight: 
Actually the game allowed you to make good or bad choices regardless of the faction you were with. You could be a bad guy jedi or a good guy sith if you wanted. Same went for bounty hunters and smugglers. But I agree with you on the third faction idea. Bounty Hunters and smugglers care more about making money than they do ideals.

Some people really love KotOR style questing. And I mean really love it.
Personally I can’t stand the on rails questing where the game is role playing me.

You can always skip the cutscenes.
But . . . just be warned, sometimes it makes an NPC unhappy . . .

That’s I think why I got bored with swtor as well. It was too much fetch this and come back. All quests are somewhat like that but you understand it if you played it.

SWTOR has too much confusion right now, but when it released it was awesome. It was literally like KOTR 3-11. Each class had a story, the combat was good, The flight missions were ok. Flashpoints weren’t great but if you played it mostly as a Single player KOTOR game, it was awesome.

Me neither. I haven’t been too happy with that stuff seeping it’s way into WOW as of late. I HATE being called “champion” or “hero” when I know that every other player in the game is running the same storyline. That type of stuff needs to stay in single player games.
