What Knights of the Eternal Throne Needs
While Knights of the Fallen Empire was a solid expansion overall, it wasn’t without its faults, so let’s take this week to discuss some of the things we’d like to see in Knights of the Eternal Throne to improve the experience.

I don't think Bioware has ever lost its ability to entertain. The problem with SWTOR is that it only entertains you for short bursts and then it is a waiting game until the next burst of story. SWTOR just needs more group orientated content instead of just story although it is good in its own right.
not some wuzzies who can't even jump 2 meter.

I am still waiting for mini games
would be ncie to have more races, and more classes, and even large pvp battle grounds, but i think due to VO's or their engine they can not afford that.
Which means something like mini games makes sense for swtor, or its jsut going to be more story.
and i think they mentioned their mmo engine can not handle somehting like raciing, or swoop racing.
So their game is really going to end up being more of the same which sounds like its a shame really since its suppose to be an MMO, but i guess if they add enough raiding they will do good by a lot of people. So at least they add more story and raids.
Write bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble
Id prefer to have the option in the options of no cash shop displayed what so ever if you sub, it really does put me off the game that much i get my star wars fix in swgemu.

Ahh! So true. It wasn't always this easy. I remember when the story was engaging in such a way that you had to ask for tactics for certain boss encounters. But then...The dreaded companion patch arrived that changed everything. It buffed and changed companions in such a way that they lost their identity game-play wise and made every solo content a cakewalk. You can literally stand still and do nothing with 5-6 mobs surrounding you and remain with full Health. Furthermore, companions are all the same as stated in this article. They don't have specifics combat traits as every single one of them is just a copy-pasta in efficiency so none of them stand out at all.
One patch that just took so much away! I hated it from the beginning but I got shut down by people telling me "It's to emphasize story so people don't need to focus on gameplay as much." PEOPLE It's a bloody VIDEO GAME and people kept crying out that they didn't want to play a game. This is the world we live in...
Anyways I agree with you completely. Some people say "Why not just remove your companion, you can do that." but it's a dumb approach because I could just as well remove all my armor and weapons then just proceed to fist-fight every Jedi I see but thing is it won't be the same. The game is set around having companions and I enjoy them for what they are but I just don't agree that they should arguably be more powerful than the protagonist (which is you). Trust me I've dueled plenty of people and without PvP gear it is the companion that outshines them, every time. Especially at low-lvl.
Here is hoping it will get changed eventually!

Of course that would jeopardize their ability to automatically extract cash from the coattails of Lucasfilm, but it would be a move that would result in good karma for a game that still carries a net negative because of the potential it failed to achieve. Every time you play this game to the mid range it slaps you in the groin with it's utter failure to even approximate a Star Wars feel. I have seen kids on a playground do better than the writers at Bioware.
In addition, the theme park reaches its simplified apex in this game, which not only removes all rpg details (abilities, damage types, etc.), but also removes a great deal of choice as to what your character is (hint: your character is the hero of the universe in one of 8 static flavors).
It may seem to some that they diverged too much with their What If Empire, but I would say that they were already so far from being Star Wars that it was probably a much easier move than trying to fix what they had broken in original development.
Oh, an a 8 second video, really?

Unfortunately all their efforts are to milk sw/kotor fans dry.
Star Wars is epic, and SWTOR does not depict that epicness at all. No huge ships, no space, and no large-scale awesome fights. Why even call it a Star Wars MMO?

It's a Star Wars game with decent solo story, nothing else even the companion stories have been neglected since launch. I'll pay $15 once every expansion, experience the story, then leave because this is the only continuation of the Kotor universe.

I may check it out if the first expansion or two are now free to non subs. If not I probably won't bother.
- No excuses.
- The companies involved in supporting this game are large enough to make this happen.
Would like to see some love for PvP.
- A lot of love for PvP, actually.
Would like to see space-combat receive some work.
- Crew based space combat would be great.
-- by Crew, I mean ... me and some friends, not me and the NPC/companions.
Better gear/itemization system.
- While there have been improvements over the last year+, I'd love to see a 'legit' 'heirloom' system
Aside from the items they can put in the game, I expect to see more/stronger marketing for this game around the release of the upcoming movies. Why wouldn't they try to plug the game? Is there another SW based MMO in the works (if so, would love some legit references/citations)?
Hopfully there is a new Star Wars mmo in the making
So yeah, would be cool if anyone knew anything about a new mmo?!
Oh and the only thing that make me come back to SWTOR once and awhile is the RP. I never do pvp anymore or anything else for that matter(besides Roleplay).
And all the cool gear you can have in the game is via CartelMarket packs and all the cool stuff you want from CM packs are waaaay to priced on the GTN. It's like they set the droprate that low just to encourage people to buy from goldseller(and buy more packs ofc;) ). I mean who can farm 68mil(cheapest I've seen, normally around 80-90mil) credits for that vented lightsaber without putting real Money into it?
Since a warhammer 40k mmo wont happen anytime soon(or at all?) I will give my last hopes to a new SW mmo for my sci-fi needs
