    I love it. But its bloody depressing to realize its he last on-going source/project in Leends/Old Canon continuity. Everythig else was cancelled: games, novels, comic series. Even if game would be closed, i hope thee would be an emulator similiar to SWG one, that would let player to complete at least class storyline.

    Thank you for giving the game a fair trial, even the negatives were spot on. I love this game not just for the story but for the simple fact that it's quite literally the only Star Wars game around that does what I've been begging for from modern Star Wars games, in depth character creation. Despite this I've been on and off the game for years due to the fact that most updates for the past couple years have been new cosmetics with maybe an hour or two of story sprinkled in every 8 months or so. It's a phenomenal game for Star wars fans but just ok if your only after a new MMO. I'll always love the game cuz I am a die hard Star Wars fan and this was my first MMO.

    I absolutely love SWTOR, and not counting WoW, it was the first major MMO which I sunk thousands of hours into. I personally hoped that this would have become the WoW killer that everyone hyped up and I was so disappointed when it didn't get there. It's not the best MMO, but it's honestly one of the best Star Wars games ever made, and it's a phenomenal representation of what Star Wars is.

    definitely a comfort food game, some of my fondest memories were from the early days when the game was much more difficult, managing to eke out a win with only a handful of hitpoints left was great cuz you had to absolutely nail down your rotation while adapting to unexpected events. Heroic mode should increase your enjoyment rather than plowing through everything. Would recommend the Imperial Agent storyline (a spy thriller), other good ones are Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter and Jedi Knight

    I did a lot of research onto Broadsword, the company that now runs SWTOR, and as I said to someone else, I genuinely hope you're right and I'm completely wrong and that this is just a temporary change and SWTOR has a long and great future. I just don't know many games that are let go by the people who made them and then continue to thrive and get bigger and better. I don't think the game is dead by any means, but I personally think that SWTOR is now in maintenance mode.

    I mainly raid and I can say that the content can range from incredibly frustrating to enjoyably difficult. I would say the biggest problem is getting into the nightmare content because the raiding guilds that do those rarely do learning runs because for them it is all about the grind. I was lucky to find a series of guilds that do learning runs but for a lot of people it doesn't happen. Also learning about the different roles (heal, tank, dps) gives each raid a fresh take per run. I'm a heal main and have been tanking hard modes recently and it is a very different experience. I love this game and am glad that you are honest about what you don't like. I don't think it is dead like you claim but it isn't as full as many other mmos.

    I mean, honestly I played this game when it first came out, and I found no fault with it whatsoever. I don’t play MMORPGs for anything else but the story. I enjoy the leveling process. I enjoy occasionally grouping up and doing a dungeon or flashpoint in this case but once I finish the story, I’m kind of done with it because all the games I grew up playing as a child. You had a goal that you had to achieve, which is why you gained levels in the first place I feel like it’s kind of pointless just doing random crap over and over again.

    My friends and I were there during the release of the game over a decade ago. The world battle pvp was laggy and had so many performance issues. I believe the map was Hoth pvp or something, it's been awhile. Then the class imbalance and constant overhaul of the skills sometimes to the point of nerfing a whole class in PVP because they had ported over the PVE skills and was considered overpowering. It was also quite dull after having reached the early level caps but the devs did release newer contents, but by then, the player base dwindled to non-existent and it took over 15 minutes to queue up for a pvp match. It was not worth the subscription but then the game play were nerfed without it. Not sure how it is now after a decade and in 2023.

    While I liked SWTOR, I loved SWG. I really want them to make a game that bring in all the best elements from them both. Lets start with what each one did well. SWTOR: Story, Character modification (armors, and mods) SWG: open world, item decay (items could only be reapired to 95% of current value each time repaird), very wide class path, experimentation in crfting. SWG fealt like a living world because of the item decay, mostly everything was made by crafters, and with the experimentation the same item could have very different stats. players into crafting could make a name for themselves. xp was simple, if you wanted pistol xp just ues a pistol. you did not need to take a full tree in any class, you could mix and match as you please. thus never ending up with cookie cutter characters. before SOE screwed it up, the combat system was not bad but could be improved. SWTOR What really pulled me in there was the class stories. That is also why i quit playing, class stories died and it all became the same story despite what class you were playing. I played every class story to completion. So to sum it up, what i would want to see from the next SW MMO is this. Open world, with good story line. immersive crafting system with item decay. open class system like SWG. player built cities. now that i think of it, what i really want is a Star Wars skinned Light no Fire.

But wow, was it disappointing and overhyped. The game had performance issues, especially in large scale pvp maps (was it Hoth? I can't recall). Then there were the constant overhaul of class skills due to pvp imbalance in the early days. They tried to keep the PvE interesting with new contents, but it just wasn't that much to do after quickly reaching level 50/60 at that point and wasn't really worth the monthly subscription anymore. Now that I have less time as an adult, I would expect less wait time to queue for PvE and PVP games. Is it still as long of a wait time of sometimes over 10-15 minutes just to get a PvP game going in 2023?

    Funniest part about SWTOR??? It wasn't *really* made by BioWare - it had a lot of BioWare's *writers* assigned to the project - *but* - crucially - it didn't have many of BioWare's best producers and directors involved In fact, the studio that SWTOR was assigned to - BioWare Austin - was a completely separate studio that EA *branded* as BioWare xD

    Man I thought the combat in SWtOR was one of the primary draws. I like how each "mob" encounter is more than one enemy which makes it feel more epic. I also thought the animations for the abilities are really cool and had a very SWtOR feel. You wanna talk about bad combat, and it's my favorite MMO of all time. Dark Age of Camelots ancient combat is terrible and LotRO combat always felt lack luster to me. However I'm also not a fan of the lasers coming out of my ass when I jump or all the light trails and fireworks particle effects just from swinging a sword (Like alot of Korean MMOs) so I tend to have a weird combat taste. That being said leveling and combat in this game has undergone quite a bit of change since launch. It's not nearly as difficult as it was early on.

    Agreed and understood many points you said from basic crew skills, terrible pvp q times for LOW LEVEL toons, and the great decorations system Swtor has. Until you said your last point. Where is it said Swtor is dead? Are you just looking at Steam chart because it wasn't until 2021 Swtor was released to Steam. The game has been out for 12 years do you really think the main playerbase is on Steam? Come with actual proof the game is dead and then your point will make sense. Until then you just spat a flat out lie at the end for zero reason.

    @@EbonhardtTVWhile I agree, I hope that it isn't being sunsetted (which is a possibility), they did migrate a large dev team over to broadsword to work on the game. The stated reason for the move is because they wanted Bioware to focus on their single player games. They still have new story updates coming though we don't know exactly what's coming after 7.4. I'm not going to say that Broadsword, in the past, hasn't only been involved in maintenance mode for games, I hope that with the staffing changes they can keep adding to the game.

    The game was released more than 10 years ago and they still didn't add a single new class. Reverse lightsaber wielding? No. Kazuul Knight with shield and laser spear? Nah. I'm a betatester of this game, played on day 1 of release and it lost all the charm for me with all the "easy mode" inclusions and the passive agressive pay to win stuff. That said...nothing will ever damage my first time getting my lightsaber for my Jedi Knight in 2011....that was a gamer core memory for me and I wish the game could come back to what it was at launch, an absolute MMO experience where effort has a reward (nobody now knows all the stuff you had to do to get a magenta crystal for a lightsaber....getting a random artifact in Illum, climbing the highest mountain in hoth, reach the hottest spot in tatooine...and after some hours popping that lightsaber in the fleet and everybody was O.O) . Wish it comes back, wish they revamp it and resurrect it as Final Fantasy XIV A.R.R did.

    Can't disagree with any of your points at all, I remember when I played back at launch, and it was so much hype, which began to fall off so quickly that it was depressing. A FF14 style complete remaster of SWTOR would honestly be something that gets me beyond hyped. I love this game with a passion, and it would be incredible to get to experience SWTOR redone with all the changes, little improvements and all that stuff that the people want. It sadly won't happen, but the Star Wars IP is upto grabs for anyone, so perhaps we'll get another MMO someday, maybe a cross between SWTOR and Galaxy.

Leveling feels so pointless now. And creating a max lvl char doesnt let you have any connection to a toon. So sad how they ruined this game taking away every little bit of possible customisation.

    You're not talking about the biggest probleme of swtor, devs doesn't care and are incompetents. They can't fix bug without adding another dozen, , they don't care about endgame as long as cartel market makes profit. They can't balance the game because they simply don't play it, they're doing irrelevent balance patch asking for feedbacks but don't listen to them. It's very sad because we know they can do great things like 6.0 tactical and new set bonuses were honestly good and add a lot of fun but 7.0 was a huge step back with combat styles which are trash and very unbalanced especially in pvp. Even the story is inexistent in 7.0.
