image6.0 Expansion to Focus on Empire vs Republic - Star Wars: The Old Republic - MMORPG.com

Star Wars: The Old Republic News - During an interview with Star Wars: The Old Republic Central, BioWare's Eric Musco and Charles Boyd confirmed that the 6.0 expansion is in the works and, in fact, already has a release date, though he would not specify when. However, Boyd did mention this: "We're definitely going to be getting back to a Republic vs Empire core storyline getting back to that war, revitalizing it into the core original SWTOR conflict".

    while i liked the eternal throne story over all, it had next to zero replayability on alts and lost my interest after a while. i was really hoping that they would be going back to full class stories soon, even though that is a lot more work. at this point, i just wish that i hadnt already done all the class story missions and everything after and i could play it again for the first time.

    They can't decide what they want this game to be. First it was a massive solo player game really with the personal stories that were great. Had multiplayer instances but the biggest part was solo play to be honest. Then they went to raids being the main focus and little solo play. Next came everyone loves everyone solo story play with companions being the priority. Then they basically ditch that and try to focus on raiding again even though at this point 99% of the people that raid have left the game for good. Now they want to focus on what I can guess is going to be a pvp focus or story focus for solo play. I enjoyed this game for a while but my god stop trying to be everything, all over the place, pick a playerbase and stick with them.

    Looks like they are learning from the success of World of Warcraft!

    They said in the most recent roadmap that 6.0 wouldn't be a "traditional" expansion because they prefer to release regular updates rather than having long breaks in-between them. KOTFE/KOTET didn't work out so well so I have no idea what they're planning on doing for 6.0.

    Bioware is so into 1990 they don't understand that telling a story is WAY more than just quests and a menu of 3 selections in dialogue.

    What this SHOULD have had from day 1 and been so long i can't believe never the effort put into it but is real events.

    Have one faction attack a city and players join into protect the npc's from dying.have some epic bosses in those events,ships landing ,you know put on a real nice show.This game design has from day 1 been a typical lazy boring run of the mill quest game and 99% should not even be called quests anymore.
    You also do NOT ever create red/green rooms in a MMO,that ruins the immersion effect of being in a living world,that is a SINGLE player game design aka 1990.
    So imo if they haven't got it by now,they never will.

    How exactly does SWTOR copy WoW ? SWTOR was all about Empire vs Republic up to the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion. After Knights of the Eternal Throne it makes only sense that the Republic and the Empire go at each others throat again.

    You WoW fanboys are a special breed indeed.

    This game, at release, had a license to print money. Instead, they decided to change the focus to dress up Barbie and Ken, via loot boxes, and costumes, and charged $20 for a DLC that had about $5 worth of content. Never you mind their first "expansion" added zero to the end-game, and no new voice acting, AND, the follower who should've had the most important role outside of the PC, was not to be seen.

    What a waste of an opportunity.

    So the story and the rp is the only reason to play this mmorpg or it has compelling end game content?

    Never been so disappointed with an "mmo" as I have and am with SWTOR. Oh the lost potential, at this point all I want is a Kotor 3, since this game's only redeeming quality was it's single player story which has also now been neglected.

    If that is the case I will defiantly not be subscribing to it until they release all of the content. Incremental releases or piece meal content has already been proven to be unpopular with their fan base for more reasons than not releasing a proper  complete expansion.  Bioware simply is lacking in the quality control department and when they release incremental updates they tend to break aspects of the game that was working previously. Also this updates are not being released in a timely fashion and tend to be delayed because some one is going on vacation or that they had a family member stops by to  visit them. ( true story btw ).

    hope 6.0 brings some ability pruning , too many skills in some classes that arent needed (or can be merged )

    I hope they add some decent character development. The old skill trees weren't all that great (compared to WoW's when they had them), but they were much better than the super lite system they have now. I also agree with the ability pruning comment above.

    This game is complete trash. There is an RP server but there are no RP mechanics so its laughable. Nothing in the world is interactive. You cant even use chairs. Not that I am an RP'er but from an outsiders perspective I cant even begin to understand how RP is a thing in this game when the developers have clearly abandoned any thought of it.

    Lies, Lies and more Lies. How is bioware going to do Empire vs. Republic? They've killed off all the leaders. Marr, Acina, Malcolm, and others all dead or in the wilderness! We all know they haven't been building lots of content for this game.
