I remember how some 3 or so years ago I downloaded the game to try those first 15 chapters for free when the game still capped at lvl 50. Will the game stay up alive? Yes it will, but unless they rethink (again) the game itself, in a year it’ll be a shodow of what it was.
The team in charge of the game is not capable of keeping it interesting (and alive apparently), delivering replay value and subs that worth paying. You’ll see the common surges of players in key points (like in the end of the season, x-packs) being even bigger with people subbing 2 months a year or so.īW locked itself into a “subbed Mass Effect” that in the second moth already shown won’t really make it in the long run and even the overall decisions on Cartel Market, exploits punishments and game balance are awfully and plain wrong. Apparently the marketing decision of turning the MMO into a single player story-mode won’t keep people subbed (geniuses). Maybe some newcomers stayed for the 1-55 story that gets really boring after Corellia, the veterans are just flying away. With no endgame replayable content and with no replayable value at all, people log in, do their stories, find it cool and then… move on. Or is this “We go all-in into the story and divert all power to it” ?Īnd when you’ll be done with this chapter in less than one hour, back to EV/KP/Heroics hahahaha *cough* *gaargl*Īnd i wonder why the old-school chapters are still named chp 1, 2 & 3, this is a little confusing lol “Experience a return to BioWare-style storytelling.” –> By “storytelling” you mean “no more over a year waiting for new operations” (among others) right ? YEAH YEAH (c) Sano As far as i know no choice matter so far from chp I, but who knows... Oh wait one can unlock their Alliance at chp I ? What did i miss ? “Make choices that matter and recruit Companions into your Alliance.” -> ah yes sure… Marr… not sure we can count him for a plural, as great as he could be. Or what about… “you don’t fill a month of waiting between chapters -even if by chance you’re totally fond of it- by grinding a story on all your toons -some may be crazy enough to do that… would definitely deserve an achievement- that takes no more than 6h to do from chp I to IX ?”… If this is not supported by endgame content (pve or pvp), leveling up toons or playing the story ad nauseum is pointless. What about… “doing the story over 3 times starts to be annoying as hell” ? - especially when you can go through 65 with some heroics -and makes a bunch of creds-, for a quarter of the time, even with ultra-crappy gear, thanks mandatory level sync. People are so damn needy, give them an inch and they take a mile… Reply
Then they give a chapter trial away, then people complain. The fact that they give this expansion away to subs is awesome, remember they didn’t always do that. There are some downsides, but like the promos says you can just create a new 60 and try out the first chapter at no loss and no risk… Yes you’re progression beyond 60 might be halted after one chapter, but you get no chapters if you aren’t a sub anyways so yeah that point is mostly pointless also. Companion story lines are mostly the same, finish your companion stories if you don’t want to skip past them (if your 60 you’ve probably done a lot or all of them anyways), or just do them on an alt (you can do companion quests on a f2p account anyways), so not that’s not a significant loss.
Yeah 1-50 content will be closed to him, but if your 60 (and not creating a new character) then you’ve already done the old content so that point of yours is pointless.
