Probably the best move for SWTOR. Keeping a dedicated & attentive group working on the game with a new writing team sets everyone up for faster content without it being at the cost of quality. Itll be interesting to see what Broadsword does in terms of bringing in new players with this new phase of the game. All I hope is that they make a single player or shorter squad story version of all the Operations for the sake of playing the whole story in order.

This game and devs should a take a few notes from Old school Runescape. The devs and community are very open with each other within that mmo(for reasons I won't go into) and I think swtor taking a similar approach could really help the game succeed. Run some polls and see what content the player base would like to be added to the game and most importantly, poll some quality of life updates, like the UI, pvp, etc. I only play swtor occasionally. I played through one storyline in full and I plan on eventually playing all of them. Hopefully the game last for years to come. This game would really benefit if it had a good community manager.

SWTOR - a game I played heavily when it launched (Founder title ofc), had a guild, raiding, Maintank all before it became free to play. Then lost touch with the game over all these years. Came back two times, once when KOTFE launched and after that just recently when dual-class mechanic was introduced. It has always been a home to go back to once in a while. So maybe it's time again to come back if there are some technical improvements. DirectX12 is a good start.

There is a lot of good talk about how psyched everyone is for SWTOR moving to Broadsword. But I’ve been playing Ultima Online for 25 years now. And I’ve watched UO change studios from OSI to Mythic to Broadsword. And from my experience Broadsword is good for adding small additions here and there. Particularly monetized cosmetic additions, which has very much been SWTOR’s deal. But what they’re really bad at is customer service on epic levels. So when I hear of this change I’m cautiously pessimistic. I don’t want to be leading the FUCK broadsword bandwagon because it won’t be the same 6-8 knuckleheads that manage UO managing SWTOR. But those two cultures are going to merge. So I’m curious if SWTOR will stay culturally the same or if they’ll pick up some bad habits.

I don't know what's going on with getting updated mods nowadays. It's totally foreign and without the forums it makes discussing these very difficult to say the least.

Revenue from SWTOR was misspent on doomed projects like Anthem and Andromeda and there really hasn't been anything amazing from them save for glimmers here and there with SWTOR's updates. They've been hit and miss but at least it's better than what the other projects were ultimately dealt. Here's hoping with Broadsword now in control this won't be an issue and I'd certainly appreciate it if they addressed old issues, like twi'lek neck seams, nautolans getting to blink again, etc.

After checking out Broadsword games, my first thought was..." Jesus Christ.. there was no one better? seriously?" I'm just gonna throw all hope out the window until the next " expansion " although this point they might as well call them snippets or something equally ridiculous.

Broadswords job is literally just to keep the servers going, why would EA hire someone better lmao

I stopped playing SWToR after the big combat update bc I couldn’t be assed to relearn my specs, but this may just bring me crawling back

2 years ago i played this on my potato pc to be honest i dont ever want games like this die and wish to , continue with a new pc mid range for now

Honestly if they put a bit of effort into a couple of fields in the game they could breathe new life into it. If they brought back the individual class stories, or at the very least seperate ranged and melee stories would be a good first step. Then make some improvments to the cosmetic aspect of the game. I want a hood toggle dang it! Also would like a separate field for cloacks/jackets.

Wonder if this means we can get more real engine updates and such, I'm glad the game is still going, whatever happens, glad to have more

[@TheRyosteve]

Hopefully they will bring it to consoles

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

I'm cautiously optimistic. I've accepted that it could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing. If it turns out to be nearing the end, I'd just be happy to get a proper ending to the story, and I'd love it if they gave players an offline single-player mode eventually.

[@Crispman_777]

This is great news!

[@TimedRevolver]

If they fix the bonkers lag issues, I'd be happy. I've been lagged out of the game entirely more than once.

Basically confirms the Zenimax Star Wars mmo rumors. Anyone who plays mmos knows this is a marker for a game ending

[@iamxevicho5170]

yes

[@celticfox]

Very excited to see what this brings us, gonna be cautiously optimistic on this one.

[@Bluesonofman]

Maybe we will see the return of Class exclusive stories
