Is SWTOR Worth Playing as a MMO in 2024?

Ойындар

Star Wars the Old Republic has evolved a lot since its initial release in 2011. In this video I take an in-depth look at swtor's current endgame to figure out if swtor is worth playing as an MMO in 2024. I break down the games endgame structure, content, systems, and rewards.

    EDIT: This video was made in 2023 but the information is still relevant and up to date (not much has fundamentally changed). We've gotten a new few patches and development has moved from Bioware to Broadsword, neither of which change the info in this video. I'll make a new video when major changes are made/when we get a new expansion. I still actively play and recommend this game! I hope you all enjoyed the video! Let me know what you all thought of it!

    The game runs really bad, it's still on a 32bit engine made for Windows XP. You really feel it being clunky and laggy in the interface and especially in PvP and PvE. Frames drop like crazy adding further to the frustration. Not the mention the lootboxes in the ingame shop. The story is great and definitely worth playing for... it's just that it is so obvious that EA is never going to commit to this game ever, it has the tiniest dev team and chances of it going anywhere in the future are none. Tons bugs, glitches and exploits are still present since the very launch of the game and are never going to get fixed.

    I've came back to swtor after playing it up on release ( I think 2011 ), and a few months return back about 4 years ago. This time my son started playing, and we've had the best times. We are both WoW players and while I like it, swtor is just an awesome experience IMHO. It's well worth playing. The stories make you feel like you're playing in an actual movie at times. I feel absolutely no grind in this game, like we both feel with WoW. We actually get to play for the enjoyment of playing, and feel no pressures about having to do dailies, or certain raids for certain gear which turns into a job, instead of an enjoyable experience.

    This has to be the most cohesive SWTOR breakdown video i've seen in a long time. Good video. I would have added a lot more about the Dev team and how they treat the game as this informs the players more realistically on what to expect from the people running the game. However, this was more than enough to inform a new player. Choose your MMO with caution and don't get addicted to opening packs. Stay safe kids.

    I started playing swtor back in 2014. I was playing it almost religiously up until 2017 or so. I have been a fervent gamer my whole life, but I had never before played a game consistently for so long. This game has something special. I am sure other MMO's might be 'better', but this game has a real unique feeling to it. Like others said, the stories and RPG elements are simply the best you will find anywhere. The atmosphere is so excellent, you truly feel like you LIVE in the Old Republic. I sometimes even come back to this game just to experience that feeling again.

    Great video Evozor. Definitely enjoyable to see your take on the game, especially to me as someone who played at launch but burnt out after the Hutt Cartel expansion. I'd be interested to hear your take on "vanilla" (or legacy) servers and your thoughts on how those would be taken. I'm split on the mindset between a "Modern-ish release of the vanilla experience" (i.e. major imbalance issues fixed, like credit glitches/duping, 64-bit client architecture, but fundamentally playing through the vanilla storyline with vanilla talents/builds and vanilla content) and the fact that currently the content is (mostly) "evergreen". I disagree that the experience is the same, because a LOT of the old content can be solo'd now, and the leveling experience has largely been watered down as inconsequential (you even mention this in this video about how nothing in solo content is a challenge really).

    Yeah the game has changed and it is true to say that the tuning does change the experience of doing the content. Personally I'd be interested in legacy servers since I also fell off in Rise of the Hutt Cartel but I think it would be a bad idea to split the player base of an already low-ish population game. Plus the evergreen nature means that you can still see the content even if the tuning is different.

    I returned to the game either in 2020 or 2021 and after seeing all the changes between the first time and returning I decided to delete all my old characters because as a new character I had made to help a streamer through their story on a different server was level 20 with higher ranked armor and significantly more progress on their companion influence than my max level with artifact armor I had before. It's been made much easier to level up even without a sub and most of the game felt like a cakewalk compared to what I faced originally. but the jump puzzles and their maker can still go burn DX On the topic of jump puzzles, while I've helped a couple people through them there have been dozens of times I've been trying to complete them to get the stat increase items and someone really good at them happens to see me doing it then either have a character that can pull/push me to the right spot or calls over a player from their guild that can help. We all collectively hate them and help each other when we can. It's one of the best ways to make friends in game from what I've experienced. XD

    Faction PVP did exist for years, but they changed it to as you said imbalance usually with the Empire having most of the players made for long waits. Then you would get into the match, and often the Republic would get curb stomped. They also made it not long ago so that any class/build could be played in both factions. For example my main is an operative Trooper.

I already had a bunch of crafting skills trained, so it was just a matter of levelling them up to the new cap of 700 and crafting my own augments and kits. Inflation has been insane.

The thing is truly addicting with a very hard learning line. I stopped playing for a time, but I always return to play for some months, try new builds and new paths. SWTOR never let me down in any kind of content, group, pvp or solo.

    I returned after two-year hiatus, and I'm enjoying myself. I heard the gearing system was bad with the release of 7.0, but it was improved in 7.2, which is true since it's easy to gear up, even if you're a solo player. Honestly, I'm having fun exploring each world and running vet fps; yes, when players get pissy because your not skipping everything is annoying. I mark friendly players and have found a couple of people to run stuff with. I have yet to try pvp or operations, and although I see fewer players, I still find SWTOR a great deal of fun. With the game swapping to a new studio, I hope they leave it set at its current level of 80 and just put out new content, even if it's done at a much slower pace. I'll happily keep my subscription running if they continue on this trek and fix bugs while occasionally throwing in new content to check out.

What could possibly go wrong, right? LOL See you in game!

    I’d like to mention that the game feels drastically less tedious if you have a good guild. The crafting is less tedious when guild members accept to just give it away, same goes with credits, and the explanations are way simpler when veterans explain it. As a F2P, it enhanced the experience 10 fold

    As a solo player, i was skeptical about trying SWTOR, because ive never played a MMO before. Coming off Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga and Jedi Survivor, i was really looking for another star wars game to continue scratching that itch. I was gonna play The Force Unleashed again but i saw this was f2p, set in the old republic era and able to be played solo so i decided to give it a go even tho im not generally a fan of MMOs. I can happily say im addicted. Its still pretty overwhelming because i basically have no idea what im doing beyond combat, quests and equipping items. If you are mainly a solo player, i still recommend this game. The gameplay itself probably isnt for anyone because it has that MMO style mechanics, but i have to say im having way more fun than i thought and the combat is surpsigingly satisfying. And the Old Republic era is still so incredibly cool.

    seems like they way over complicated the gearing by splitting content, i played with a raiding guild last expansion as a commando gearing was 'interesting' as it was basically jsut farm currency/ do the daily/ weekly objectives for the loot boxes to get the gear and hope the limited time vendor had the items you needed, was fun though this new system seems to not be the best idea for the size of the playerbase as it stands however i feel it was probably done to force people into the operations to justify making the raids which would allow them to appease on the of the biggest requests from players since ROTHC MORE OPERATIONS though with every operation being valid for gearing to a point its less of a issue but still one new op and 2-3 new flashpoints every 2 years or so isnt great

    the inflation of cosmetic sets is mainly due to many of them being unobatainable any more if they made all the loot boxes available permanently or got rid of the gambling system that made them so much money (like hell is that happening) it would cause the price of many things to drop, the credit problem is a major one though last i played a set of stims for a ops night could set you back 50k i dont want to think about how high thats reached, with the F2P cap being 1 mill now i think for ex subscibers? the price on the augments would prohibit any returning player for awhile as well as any new player thanfully the augment kits are the same ones weve been using for years so anyo returning player should have the ability to craft them
