I think class stories should make a return, they were the core of the game and gave a unique perspective on the galaxy for each one.

I would quite like to have a neutral faction story line, and to be able to switch the allegiance of different characters between allegiances. I would like the story of my imperial agent beyond Corellia, but she can't follow the imperials after what they did to her, but she isn't keen on the republic either (I was put off from doing Ilum based on the opening dialogue being so pro-imperial). I think that bounty hunters and smugglers might also be enjoyed on a mission that wasn't wed to the republic or empire. This would allow for more nuanced roleplaying. The selection of story could happen through dialogue in the first couple of quests, that then branch into the three factions.

I have never stopped subbing but have a really hard time getting stuck into the game since they made those big changes during KotFE. I really like the old school path through the flashpoints, I wish they had a guided mode that let you go through the old game up through Shadow of Revan as like a continuous campaign. Appreciate the breakdown, I'll have to check it out again when that new Season happens. I do hope they find a way to revamp crafting, I like it a lot but the Cartel Coins invalidated lots of the armor and weapon crafting.

As a person who started playing in mid 2022, the answer is a yes for me. Couple things I like to note: it is a great single player experience doing the stories.

Solidly above average but far from perfect.

I still love swtor years after I started

looking to come back for season 4 after 5 year absence. Great video & recap of what has changed!

I liked how the gear system was before. You could play the game at your own pace and get high level gear and exchange gear currency to buy sets at the vendor. Now the top gear is back, locked behind harder content. I'am not a no lifer, so I don't have time to be scheduling raids like if it's another job. I wish they'd revert it back to how it was prior to the last expansion, I liked the command crates.

You are so skilled at narrating. I've been watching a bunch of these videos lately and I don't even play SWTOR haha. Keep it up! I'll be trying this game sometime after that 64 bit client drops.

I love to do the side quest as they often take me to areas I wouldn't normally go in the main story and they help to flush out the current planet that I'm on and the games lore and finally they make the world feel more alive to me.

I'm still as hooked as I was when I first started in December 2011, maybe even more now that my characters can use any advanced class they want and somes Veteran Flashpoint missions can even be done solo. If only EA could give all the support the SWTOR team deserve to release more stuff... I hope the next major update will finally modify a few more Veteran only Flashpoints and add a Story mode.

I just bought a subscription, having a blast and getting addicted already..! Nice vid

i still love and enjoy playing the game just haven't had time to play the game in Months dealing with Stuff and taking a break from it also. but will get back to playing it again at some point.

It is a great game, very fair priced for many hours of play, the subscription is the usual amount which is a bit concerning but when you enjoy a game & dont sub to many then its a choice to make. The new (now old) companion changes and the following expansions were a bit of a let down IF you had multiple chars.. but the game still hangs around in the back of my mind like no other. I enjoyed both solo & group content & miss them both like no other game. Despite the flaws legendary players may point at over the years, the game deserved more attention than it got & is up there in my top list of overall good games. Nice to see it is still looked after.

What this game has going for it is the storyline, I dont know what has changed as I been away from this game for around a year or so. But the storyline of this game was really well done for this alone I reccomend anyone to play this. Especially if you're a Star Wars fan.

After the many years I play the game, I still do. I really love the game and it is one of the only MMORPGs that keep this loving fire alive in me. The changes with battle styles wasn't a big of a deal for me, just getting used to it, but by now it is fine xD I also honestly loved the story of the Legacy of the sith. Yes, it was short, but many story updates will happen and it will be free for those who unlocked Legacy Of The Sith. So technically there is way more story, but just not out yet.

Thanks Swtorista for the awesome breakdown! Just a question though as I'm currently playing as a Sith; is crafting (Synthweaving & Artificing) really worth the time & effort to put in considering that I might get better gear or weapons than the ones I could possibly craft?

Same. At least give us that when we get our ship back in kotfe and choice of WHICH ship. Like maybe they couldn't find yours and you pick a new one. I understand why they didn't do this for the base game tho. Many of the class stories have considerable scenes on the ship and interaction with it.

Love all your videos

It always happens, I also end up coming back to play this game. I was preparing for the latest DLC before I took a break from playing but now since watching this I think I want to get back to playing since they did the whole class system overhaul.

Swtor is one of my favorite games of all time. I liked the story but the main reason I loved the game was the community when I played. I gained so many friends and it was so fun to log on and play with them every day. Eventually I got into raiding and I tried getting into the hard content. Eventually I learned the best raiders can be extremely toxic and just cast you away if you are not godly. I left the game when most of my friends stop playing. A year later I played the game again and joined a raid team almost immediately. That team lasted for an entire year that was the best raid team I had but eventually the team collapsed and I left the game again. Then recently I started playing the game again in 7.0. One of my friends rejoined the game and that was the main reason but eventually I learned about the new gearing system. I absolutely hated it. This gearing system is not as bad as the beginning of 5.0 but the grind is just terrible and I hated that you were forced to only play one form of content to level up. In the end I just quit. At this point I don’t like the state of the game. None of my friends play it. Lots of them refuse to play it and content team is just abysmal. I honestly not sure if I ever will play the game again. What I want most is new Star Wars MMORPG but am afraid there are no plans from Disney as of yet. I just miss most the excitement for game and the community to play with.

I love the game, actuially started playing because of your videos two years ago, but i have to take monthly breaks every now and then, cuz I get to sucked in and spend more time than I should.

All Tanks are balanced, the skill curve with current Assassin Tank is a little bit higher since the stat distribution with current gear doesn't provide enought stats for Assassin tanks to be at the optimal stat level compared to the other 2 so you need to be more aware of spike damage in higher tier of content and how to properly mitigate it. DPS, Powetech, Sniper, Sorcerer, Marauder and Juggernaut Healers will perform the same just that Operative will outpeform the other 2 when the group is stacked for AoE heals but outside of that they all perform at the same level.

I’m one of those new returning players, who last played a year after launch. I created three new characters that are at various points in their levels and stories. My take on it. Leveling is a dream. Gearing is simple easy and understandable… until you hit 80. At which point you are left adrift with no idea where to go and what to do. Mod upgrades stop at 70. By 79 life is getting rough as the heroic boxes stop giving blue gear at 61, and you have to sit on the new ones until you hit KotFE. And you will easily hit 70 before that point. And then you hit 80… suddenly all my gear is obsolete by 50+ points. My upgrade options require conquest points to go buy a green starter set from the fleet. But I don’t have any Conquest thingies. It’s Wednesday, it’s my first 80, and my weekly Conquest completed last night. And doesn’t give the thingies until you’re 80. And with auto scaling pretty much everything will ass blast you in the gear you have. So you get to roll up another character to play for a few days. Story is fantastic. On every class… until you hit KotFE/KotET. Which is just horrible for what it does to you as you spend night after nigh wading through a never ending tide of spawning sky troopers. Everything you’ve worked and played for taken away, Ie companions. You’re locked into a single player never ending story arc which will auto advance to the next chapter without giving you a chance to hit the vendors or anything. You walk into a room at your base to go turn something in and you’re zoned to another planet for yet another endless slog of sky troopers. The gameplay is no longer SWTOR. It’s God of War. The MMO is stripped out. It’s Tuesday, so finally I can get my gear and go back to that character and hopefully get past these two horrid sections and back to fun gameplay. And I know these are years old expansions. The problem is they still sit in the middle of a new or returning players progression arc, and will continue to be a jarring experience if not a point of new players walking away for years afterwards. Some of the new systems are great. The new Combat Styles approach is fantastic. It allows for some real flexibility in play styles. If just because you can get stealth on any character, which makes life so much easier for solo players. (Except for KotFE, which ignores stealth completely).

I had played Swtor a tiny bit in the past but I just only now started playing for real and I must say I totally agree... I wish all MMOs were like this... focusing on story lines and immersion instead of just endless grinding for bullshit gear... Another MMO that is like this and should get more love is Lotro (Lord of the Rings Online)... another old MMO but with deep LotR lore and very dedicated to preserving the Tolkien stories... yeah the graphics are old (getting a second overhaul this year though) but the a stories, the design of all the places in Middle Earth, the immersion and THE MUSIC (godly levels of music quality) are off the charts good... just a much more grindy game than Swtor since progressing through the regions means doing a shitload of quests in each one... but if you stop and read the texts and stories it becomes very immersive and good... if Lotro was voice acted like Swtor then it would be just unmatched... Right now I'm hooked on Swtor though... it's just too good in terms of immersion and story telling... every story is more polished than those 250mil per movie trash we've recently seen (both the prequels and the Disney trash.... lol)

I played for a few months when it first came out and just got back on this last weekend. I feel like a complete newbie again.

I came back to the game recently and played it for about two months. Enough time to play through the stories and expansions twice fully, on both Republic and Imp characters. I think I also played through the class story quests on several classes as well, I know I did merc, imp agent and jedi consular all to 50. By the time I finished that and checked out the current content the game had, I was done. There's just not enough at end-game to retain me anymore compared to mmos like FF XIV or WoW and frankly, SWTOR's age is showing much more in it's actual gameplay loop compared to the competition and this is especially apparent in the combat feeling clunky, dated, same'y. I remember being excited because one of the recent patches for Legacy of the Sith was coming out while I was playing, and it was sort of billed as a major patch including more main-story content for the expansion. It was like 2 missions or something, which I finished in 10 minutes, and some dailies, or something like that I can't remember specifically. Pretty bare bones, remember feeling pretty disappointed. Turned off my auto-sub, uninstalled and got back into FF XIV the next week. For the record, I've been a MASSIVE Star Wars nerd my entire life. Just as an example, I have multiple custom lightsabers that ran me nearly $1000 a piece lol. If there's anything that could make me overlook flaws in a game, it'd be because it's Star Wars... so that's definitely not the issue. These "Is SWTOR worth playing in 202x" videos come out so often. It's glaringly obvious that this game doesn't have nearly the budget it once had, or the development team behind it that it had before, like for KOTFE. The KOTFE expansion feels like it was made by an entirely different team, with a massive budget compared to everything else. I remember experiencing KOTFE for the first time and having high hopes because it definitely felt like the stage got bigger, it felt polished, the story was long as hell comparatively speaking, it just felt like it had a lot of budget behind it. Everything since then has felt like the bare minimum, and at this point I don't think bioware is ever going to go back to producing content on the same level as KOTFE. I don't think they have the resources or the man power to do it.

I wanted to try to get back in again but after the recent dlc I'll just take a small pass

I haven't played since the revan expansion and there's a whole lot of new stuff, very overwhelming lol. Most of my guild hasn't logged on in years.

Only stopped playing as could not find a guild to join for group content (the couple i tried can remember either myself being the only active player most of the time or others had players who had forgotten more than i will ever know and had no interest in group content).

Actually nowadays there is no excuse for an MMO not being voice acted... and yes, ESO having the best voice acting cast in the world and no voice for your character is a RETARDED choice by zenimax... Swtor and GW2 where your character is voice acted are so immersive. And Swtor even more since your character has a compelling story and is not the almighty demi-god hero that everyone else is completely incompetent if not for you. Imo, the two most immersive MMOs I've ever played are Swtor (which is recently started playing regularly btw) and Lotro (Lord of the Rings Online). However Lotro needs a lot of reading of quest texts, but the environment, music and detail of artstyle of middle earth are off the charts immersive. I've been really loving my short time with Swtor... stories are just so much fun and so well written... even the trooper story which everyone hates is 10 times better than most MMO storylines...

Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😋😋😋😋😋

I always thought if you haven't played a class before 1-50 might be worth returning. 2 of the best reasons why I loved the game different stories and voice acting on my character, both gone at 50 and beyond. It's a bummer.

I only play this game because Star Wars and that if offers the most unique class stories I've ever played in MMOs. Been playing this game since 2013 with some smaller-bigger pauses. What I extremely don't like is the current insane inflation and that the game is like... quite easy. I would love to see more frequent balance changes, I liked the old system with gearable companions and that they had a specific role for their stories (like Doc to heal). This game has so much potential, there are so many things to add and I feel really sorry that the current players didn't experience the true difficulty of this game back some years ago. Doing a planet class story nowadays is 20-30 mins tops with easy checkpoint accesses and companion power. I remember when fighting Thanaton was very difficult, it felt like yeah, I'm fighting an actual Darth, not like today where they look like sprouts... I so want this game to thrive again!

Are combat styles just a way to play a different class without making a new character or is there more to it? Can you combine skills from two different classes?

Î love this game, played it since launch and took occasionally smaller breaks and a pause from it, yet never really canceled it ... but the economy is just.. awkward. Prices are insane. :,)

When you said “after a 10 year break” I was like “lmao it’s legit been since 2013” 😂

The class stories are so good... Loved Sith Inquisitor and Warrior with their sarcastic and sadistic dialogue and voices (playing females). The other class stories were also very solid (especially Agent), enjoyed most expansions... I'd love to be able to get more story, continue the class stories, or just wipe my brain and experience them again. Would have made a great single player game (with some changes ofc). I never really cared about the MMO part (not saying that I am glad it's being neglected). I just wanted more story (that isn't Disney shite). Overall: if you are a Star Wars fan, just the class stories are well worth it!

I never migrated to steam, I kept the old launcher. Most of my guildy's that have been playing the game for a bit never migrated to steam. So always add 2-5k to steam charts for people that havn't migrated over.

I played years ago..I logged in last year and I might as well just start over , i have no idea anything about the game anymore sadly. One question though, i can't recall if I logged in through steam or old launcher..if I log in through steam will I be able to use my original account ?

I think there is an overwhelming number of things locked behind the sub. Like hiding your headpiece for example. I think they should focus on the galactic season stuff for subs and make 4 of those a year like a battle pass cause that is practically what it is.

I'm thinking about skipping the Heroics in Nar Shaddah since I'm overleveled and overgreared for that planet, and then maybe pick start running Heroics again on as I go to new planets and my gear starts to lag behind.

I have taken multiple long-term breaks from the game, but this has always been my comfortable "go to" channel for anything I need to know when I come back.

I planned on returning to the game next week, but one thing I want to do is get a chance to go back and re-do all of those old quests. - Is this even possible?? Is it possible for me to be a max level character that has already played through the first 2 or 3 expansions to go back and re-do all of it? - If it is possible, would it even be worth it? Would I just be better off making a new character? Last time I played, I saw there was some way to replay old expansions, but all of it was overwhelming to me. If someone is able to talk to me like I'm a complete noob, I would appreciate that!

I encountered a grand total of 6 other players the entire time I played (of either side, Imp and Pub combined)... This was a couple years ago, and I sincerely hope there are people actually playing now. It's surprisingly bland to get to the faction hub and find literally no other players anywhere. Not in the new player zones or even on the fleet. Gonna try again this year and see if anyone is on the server or if it's time to just start a new Legacy in another server...

Just wondering, which server exactly were you using? As far as I know, there's a plenty of active players on most of them. I'm on Darth Malgus which isn't exactly as popular as US servers but have never been in a situation when no player was around on the fleet.

@@dimaudalow It was starforge a couple year ago. Back when the Eternal empire was just being teased. But seriously. Fully fresh roll, nearly entirely dead server the entire time. I think I had maybe two pvp matches the whole time while remaining queued every second while online. I played again here very recently (past two weeks) and feel much better having seen a community in the game again... Though it's extremely unfortunate that the gen chat is littered with stupid RL political posturing, childish bickering and outright vile behavior from both sides of the aisle. I can't really tell which is worse, a dead server with no community or a lively server full of toxic keyboard warriors. And dear God, the stupid inflation on the GTC.... I've never complained about making so much money but... there's no challenge to it these days. Made 200 million on day 3 of my return. It's stupid...

I used to play swtor frequently but then I stopped playing for a while. Its 2023 now and today I played it again for a little around an hour, its pretty fun since I haven’t played it in a while but the game would be much better if it wasnt owned by EA.

As opposed to the top comment on this video, I am a returning player that played originally when the game first launched. It has come a long, long way since launch and is probably the best MMO on the market today. I love everything about it, and if you are a star wars fan; the game becomes that much better.

I wish they've give you the option of changing the difficulty / game design to be like it used to be where it felt like a challenge and was in general more rewarding. The game is just too easy now as I returned after having not touched it in 8 years and was sad to see how dumbed down and unchallenging it's become. I hope one day they'll give you the option like Class Runescape does where you can play the classic version of SWTOR that had a lot more difficulty and challenge to it. Won't be touching it ever again if this never happens.

I swear the "is SWTOR worth playing" videos come out at LEAST once a month. Not all from Swtorista of course but I swear I see a new one every few weeks

That’s for every MMO out there tbh, MMO’s are all about having a healthy player base and what content is being offered. People are constantly looking to join in or join back into them, specially with expansion announcements/releases. I know this because even though my main game is WoW, I’m occasionally looking to try other MMO’s and being doing so; trying SWTOR, FF14 and GW2 while waiting on the next WoW xpac.

They keep adding so much content, years worth. It is daunting and overwhelming and honestly is one of the reasons I have not yet returned.

Such a shame in the current state but it'll hold me over to Drahonflight and then hopefully more content will drop by the time I finish that

i play 16 straight years of WoW but this game is my favourite, the only reason every time i leave it is i don't have a single clue in what to do in end game xD

Swtor Founder here. I have to be brutally honest in saying the game is currently in its worst state ever, and I have little hope for the future because the team working on it is so small. It is still a GREAT Star Wars game, for sure. New players have LOADS of content to go through, and it's one of the BEST Star Wars media immersion vehicles. But for a long term player who has 'done it all', the ONLY thing keeping me in this game is gearing up in R-4. Once I get 340 on tank, healer and DPS, and complete the R-4 achieves, I really can't see myself playing. The insane gearing system regression has gutted most of the PvE content in the game, and relegated maybe the top 5% of the playerbase (who can actually form up for the stupidly tuned new raid) to be able to get past 331 item rating. Seriously, for a game that was obviously low on staff, 6.0 expansion/gearing was perfect. The ONLY benefit in 7.0, IMO, is combat styles. Everything else has been nerfed or is a regression.

The BEST thing the devs can do in a future update is to allow players to earn up to 340 gear from ALL game activities, not just the buggy AF new raid. Unless you are a PvPer that plays just for that, there is literally no point in doing any PvE content for gear. PvP only allows you to get 328 gear. All PvE content rewards 330, so gamers will obviously do the fastest and most lucrative content, which is SM Ops. There is no incentive to do legacy Ops, MM FPs, GSF/PvP (unless you like it) because there is no reward. Daily quests now feel like a chore because of the new currency system. It's just a total mess. It's even causing derision in raid teams and exposing people to the toxic high-end PvE Empire players (you know who you are! "omg who plays Republic?!" kind of people). Troomis summed it up perfectly below tbh

I'd really love to see a re-work of the gearing system, it's pretty complicated this year! I also miss solo players having a route to the best.

I realized I never unsubed to the game, and have been away for maybe 2 years. May come back, if only for nostalgia and making some new friends.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I kinda wish they'd let Operations drop Cartel Market items, like for example Revan's armor or lightsaber in Temple of Sacrifice, the Zakuul Knight set in Gods of the Machine, or Mando sets and blasters in Dxuun. Maybe even CM mounts through certain achievements. Like I know the Oricon and R-4 raids drop the wing mounts, but it'd be nice to have a bit more incentives to Ops other than gearing up and the occasional Stronghold decos. One thing I love about WoW (which I shifted to after GS 2) is transmog hunting in raids. It felt like to me that while you get earn your mog sets and mounts in WoW through raids and achievements, in SWTOR you kinda have to get them through currency or the GTN. I know it might upset some folks who spent lots of actual cash on the CM, but it could definitely up the raiding scene.

Ok that freaked me out when she said "since you haven't played in 10 years". I was like how she know? 😲

Swtor is still the best tactical coop for melee. *BUT no need to simplify flashpoints it is main highlight of this game* I'm talking about veteran - always available in the queue, dynamic and beautiful. *a lot of good mmorpg games have already died due to constant pve simplifications* it's my opinion... ......you can not do everything for degrading people. players need to be developed. this is SW after all. may the force be with you =) p.s: I really hope that optimizing the load on game servers is not the main task of the creator now

I am not really opposed to the gear being reserved for group content. I like to solo play in a lot of games, but it should come with the caveat of not being able to be the best compared to the 10+ group of people who take the game on at a higher difficulty.

I like the game and like how the gear is now not bound by price and crafting but they still need to make changes to the gear system like how to obtain higherlvl gear as in to get from 320 to 322 essentially you can only get a few pieces a week

If it is still true, you can just buy a sum of cartel coins and get preferred status. Oh, I remember before they leveled you for the planet. You either were OP as hell or underpowered and it was hell. Story bosses also had abilities that were one shot kills unless you interrupt them with your abilities.

I miss class stories but they'll never come back cause this isn't the money cow it used to be
