first video I see of you but kudos to you for having stuck around for so long with such a small subscriber amount. But your video seems to be exactly how the good old golden age youtube videos were, so whatever you're doing now keep it up. No dumb interaction reminder, no waste of time, no scummy sponsor, just a guy talking about something he's passionate about.

Well said brother. Keep putting out good content. I like your vids and I don’t even play Swtor

Eric Musco is a weasely little disaster.

You can never leave swtor

That’s Tremendously Awesome! I Loved it! 🫶🏻❤️✨

The game is the conquest mode supported by the cartel market, they have no reason to invest anything more into serious content creation because all that will do is cut into their bottom line.

The game was always doomed to a slow decline after KotET. The reduction in staff and the constant need to throw galactic threat after galactic threat that will forever live in the shadow of the Eternal Throne. It's a testament to their endurance that they've made the game last this long, but that's what they've been doing, enduring.

The only way i come back to swtor is with either a console port or a vanilla re-release.

Time to let Swtor go and revive Star Wars Galaxies.

For me personally, SWG is a far superior game. SWTOR was really not that fun for me. I played a IA Healer up until the Hutt expansion, I came back for F2P to just be disappointed once again. I hope we one day get an ACTUAL open universe game like SWG again that is more co-op/self hosting ( like Conan exiles ).

Some PvP world ones would be great mmm

Guild Wars 2 is my top 1 mmo, i just tried Swtor last week and i think it will take the second place :)

Eric was NOT honest. He was NOT open. He had a solid product and proceeded to be a used car salesmen at a time the game needed drastic change. The only thing that could help this game is removing every person that has been a part of the dev team in the last 5 years and starting over. Even then probably not enough but it's the only chance.

Dynamic encounter is More Like "FATEs" in FF14.

Dynamic encounters have potential, but needs to be done right, or it'll be another uprising bs, that earns you nothing. A ranking system for pvp is needed, for the game to be worth it for pvpers, not that season crap they came up with. We need a separation from stories again, rn it's the same story told by 2 different paths, but the end could be the same, giving us the false sense of choice. We need at least 4 different paths/stories, 2 for jedi/sith (1 each), 1 for republic tech classes and 1 for empire tech classes, that's what made people fall in love with vanilla in the first place, and also inside those specific stories, there needs to be at least a couple side quests specific for the 8 original classes. Gearing needs to be remade again, but not into a new system, but bringing back what we had a couple expansions ago, where you could do ANY content, and you'll end up with the best gear, the difference was the time needed to reach it. For example, today people spam ops just to gear their characters, you hardly see progression groups anymore, and other content are somewhat forgotten, like flashpoints, uprisings, etc.

I’m actually super pumped if you start uploading vanilla missions! Makes me want to go back and replay them in a different way.

I am amazed that this game i still going with the 100 players playing it

Any MMO elements in SWTOR is a good thing. Overemphasis on single player instanced content really hurt SWTOR.

the problem alot good content creators are gone and won't be back. ill add this if a game isn't getting newer players faster then they currently players leaving its doomed. I am and old player who played it during beta and its never kept much interest. stories are getting bad, new Endgame nonexistent, ranked pvp gone. Heres an idea even they could make NIM mod on all old content it wouldn't be a new idea just a challenge at least something that could keep people the game failed in SWG and many said was successful yet companies don't kill games if they are successful. Bottom line unless they change stuff that make it compete with other MMOs or bring that spark back somehow its gonna end up like SWG without a replacement and its something that I don't want because as a former SWG player to swtor its bad when the game dies...

We need a Krayt Dragon boss

Spot on about not needing content for new players but content for existing, returning, and players leaving other mmo's to try SWTOR. The starting class stories are possibly the best new player content in any mmo already. As a mainly pvp player in SWTOR I really wanted seasons to be the carrot that kept me going but the rewards are very lackluster and seem like and afterthought compared to cartel market items. Would still love to see a Solo Rated Warzone system sort of what WoW is doing with Battlegrounds as I think it has the potential to get casuals and hardcore players into Ranked PvP and bring back objective gameplay...sorry ranked 8's boomer take. Either way the dynamic event system seems fine as you say but will ultimately live and die based on the strength of rewards as to whether end game players will participate.

Not sure how you expect someone who's spent nearly their entire career at SWTOR to be able to do anything other than what they learned whilst at SWTOR. Eric going from community manager to game director on the same game is unusual. Most Game Directors are expected to have shipped multiple games, working on them from conception through to launch, to support that they have the experience to direct and lead a game project. Sounds more like they won't replace people that leave and just keep filling in important gaps with existing staff.

Makes sense as most games use these open world encounters for leveling. However they usually also give something of a value so you stop and doing them when traveling around. And I don't see people stopping to use these to level with it being extremely easy to over level as long as you're doing most of the stories on a planet. It definitely needs some form of incentive to stick around and do it. One that will carry weight for all levels.

just heroics with new name

I don't like it gives me uprisings vibes... People play it once and then never touch it again... Waste of development time... Plus hoth is so buggy on the pts it is a pain to work on the incentives. 😢

PLEASE< PLEASE BE TRUE, If this game came to the console id play the hell out of it again just like i did when i use to play it on pc. ive always wanted it to come to the console.

DEI needs to be nixed.

Again..... A call to PTS give feedback but missed out on 1 point *PTS is only available for Subscribers*

It would be absolutely goated if they could allow us to replay the class stories in chapters ( much like in Kotet & kotfe ) as well as returning to the separated stories that can be played.

So, a community manager, who has no coding or dev background, is now the game director. Probably because he came cheap. He's one of the main culprits behind the game being dumbed down and down and down. Hell, Loadouts don't even fucking work.

I just came back after years of being away. I'm having a great time.

i started playing on PTS last night and THE BEST MISSION YET is where you JETTISON poor Gamorreans into the Sarlacc pit on Tattooine!!!!! I LOVE THAT STUFF!!!!!!!!!! MORE PLEASE lolllllllllllllll Also the one near Czerka Base on Tatt with the giant droids you get as temporary companions ..... that does NOT LAST long enough and those droids barely do anything -- they are mostly useless!!! Also the there are at least 2 missions that are broken on PTS -- that do not work -- the Hidden Chain one on Tatt and another one on Hoth ... i forget name. BUT I DO LIKE getting Conquest Commendations after each mission -- for a poor boy like me, that does help with gearing!!!! But UPRISINGS are still the best gearing experience, albeit when under level 80.

I am so done with StarWars, went from super fan to not caring since the sequel trilogy. Played this game since the start, and now I log on rarely, just not enough game development IMO.

Back when leveling was a bigger part of the SWTOR experience this would have been awesome! I never run the heroics when reaching lvl cap so I doubt my 12 year old characters will ever see a random encounter...

I think this is one more thing to pave the way for console release. Which I’m all for.

Well, I think while on planet leveling up or doing some heroics these smaller style random events seem like a win (fitted armor sets ok at 80 maybe random blues gear also pre 80) I think it would be cool to ADD these new events to Guild Planet Rampage I like the ideas they have been talking about malgus-shea ending ?? or here come Jadus for next parts either at this point almost anything that moves or forward or onto the next

They need to bring out a big Addon, with a great story, class stories and new playable races or a new class. THIS would bring a big amount of players back. GW2 is a good example of how you can keep a game on top without a monthly fee. ESO also. Swtor just need to show the wolrd: WE STILL CARE ABOUT THE GAME! Dynamic Events and the "maybe" return of Jadus could be good sign, but nothing more. And Musco was allways part of the problem. He was number two, he had power to change things and he didnt.

I was with this game since pre-launch 2011 through 2017. When they started to merge servers, then add new ones, then merge servers again, over and over, with most players having to change their chars names because of these mergers. It was infuriating. They made character naming so difficult, with so many ridiculous proprietary restrictions, that I no longer found the game enjoyable. It became nothing but a grind. I miss what TOR once was, but not what it's become. I'll actually be glad when they finally pull the plug, like they did with Galaxies.

Dude Eric litteraly fucked the game with all the content now is a Job with a battle pass track Wowwe encountere, woowww so fun kill lvl 5 npc on hoth with ONE single AOE skill

I actually just started playing this game, I put it off for years for content to build and honestly I regret it so much, it’s so well built and the feel of Kotor is overwhelming for me lol. This game is unbelievable and a continuation would be amazing.

Musco is a liar and a moron. You're crazy if you think he will do anything to save a game that is in maintenance mode. Glorified social media guy who somehow became a director/producer because it was probably cheaper to promote him than it was to hire someone actually qualified for the job. ALL of the horrible ideas over the years were his and Keith's ideas. Neither of them were qualified to run this game.

Eric Muskrat at the helm? I guess we’ll see… hard to be hopeful though.

It is a shame what happened to this game. They made their mistake with the first x-pac. Everyone wanted more of the class stories, it is what made the game unique and fun. Instead- they tried to turn it into a WoW clone. You won't do WoW better than WoW, they have too much resources. It is always better to focus on what makes you unique. This game is still 100% savable though, they won't do it because it would require more investment. They are clearly in the "let's see what else we can get out of this before we shut it down" phase.

The guy that got globalled by a Sage is now the game director. Hah!
