[@Jaeden_Phoenix]

My main issue with SWTOR is 100% the story right now. It's all well and good to have a mystery story, but not when it's been almost 2 years and we STILL have no idea what's going on. I've been playing since Launch on-and-off (took a big break around 2019 but always come back for story updates) and aside from the character assassination that is Malgus in the current story, it's just been so unengaging to log in for a new story update, get some dialogue from Malgus along the lines of "haha you're so stupid I'm so far ahead of you!", get maybe 1 new piece of information, and then do a bunch of random nothing stuff for the next hour, before waiting another 6-12 Months for the next content drop. It's such an unengaging way to tell this story.

[@SWCentral]

"If the game is going to die at least go down swinging" Damn, that was powerful. Biggs for SWTOR Director 2024!

[@CopeAndSeeth]

True that brother

[@Ceivous]

It shows so much that all classes were meant to have their own unique story paths that have certain points where they connect, just like the class stories did. Budget cuts made it impossible. The story suffered heavily for it. But that still doesn't explain making a whole era of an MMO dedicated to solo story content that doesn't make any sense unless you play certain classes. Any game without the Star Wars brand would have died right then and there. And maybe it should have died because just look at this trainwreck, it's just another example of a Star Wars project with immense potential that was mishandled to the point even its own fans wish it would just receive a mercy killing. Star Wars is absolutely cursed.

[@coolcupofpop]

I would come back if they went back to class specific campaigns. Whenever I do come back, it is ALWAYS to start a new character and play one of the class campaigns and quit whenever I reach the parts where you become a bland protagonist.

[@alexneumann3092]

I would love that too, but it was never realistic. You would have to have a WAY bigger team for them to pull that off. Also for something like new companion story lines and dialogue. But that is a fever dream that is never going to happen.

[@wolfpack95805]

@@alexneumann3092 what i hear from these excuses is that they aren't doing a good enough job to draw in talent and income sources to fix all these problems, and at this point if they can't fix them, the game deserves a midnight hour closure announcement, which I think is exactly what we're going to get: Players logging on one morning in 2026 only to find an announcement the game is shutting down in 2 weeks

[@wolfpack95805]

I agree, like the Heta Kol arc would be so much more entrancing if they were able to do those separate campaigns and make the whole Mandalorian Civil War a BH-specific arc, and let our imaginations run wild for the rest of the origin characters. They botched this from 4.0, they teased class-specific stuff in Rishi and then just made everyone the boring-after-hearing-it-for-the-5th-time "Alliance Commander", rather than each class fighting the eternal Empire in their own way, save for a Knight Alliance Commander

[@KG-2137]

I would love to see a new class, new raids, new pvp modes, and espescially a new fleshed out story, becase the thing that was served after Revan I think was bad. Honsetly even the treatment that Revan got was basically milking his name for all he's worth and then killing him off for some pseudo emotional moment. Why would I ever want an alliance between republick and empire and why would I want to be an emperor? The answer is I don't want to. Great vid Biggs. Thx for still caring so much about this gaame to post this video, because I am ith you on that this game has potential.

[@Brainhacker5]

Nothing but facts in this video. I've played SWTOR since release and man, watching the game lose its charm and character is insane in the worst of ways. I do much the same, hop on, maybe do a flashpoint or two, ask myself; "What am I working towards here?" and then sit on fleet, watching general chat. The sense of community is still kinda there, but it is by no means what it used to be. Content creators with un-biased opinions like yourself need to speak up more rather than being a shill, (not gonna name names here), and staying silent or only praising the good parts while putting the things that are actively killing the game under the rug. If Broadsword really wants to bring back players, then they just need to keep with new content, make it accessible, and make it challenging for the people who want it. They have the potential to revive this game as opposed to keeping on what amounts to life support, and I'm hoping they actually -listen- to the feedback presented, but I won't hold my breath. I have some incredibly fond memories of this game, pulling off a 1v4 on my Sorc on Makeb 4v4, in the midbies bracket people would be like, "Look, it's him! He's pretty good!" in chat on my Assassin, and I met some great people in the guild I was in for a while. But like with everything, things fade and times change. I would like to thank you for all that you've done for the community, giving voice to valid points and criticisms, making guides for people like myself and others (I still have the IO BH rotation stuck in my head from your 6.2 video, we love the FUF) which were super simple to follow, and giving a damn about the game. Need more people like you man. Please take care of yourself, and may the Force be with you, always.

This is the greatest 10 minutes of commentary on SWTOR ever published. If the devs listen to this and fix what is mentioned here - you may actually succeed. If you brush this aside - if you say whatever the whales are gonna whale lets suck it dry while we can. If that is the conversation you are having in the meeting rooms - you are doomed. There is no chance. To Mark Biggs you listen.

[@epsilon1670]

as someone who does like playing barbie with new characters every six months or so, i do totally agree with your overall opinion of the cartel store, they legit need to stop prioritising just that and while cosmetics are nice i think the majority of the community want new story, new pvp maps, just new content like you said. why we havent got a melee tech class is still mind boggling to me when you could just lift the animations/abilities from the npcs already in the game to make it. I agree on nim versions of the older ops, also would love to see story modes for the other flashpoints. simple stuff as filler for them to work on something more meaty i dunno i just really dont wanna see this game get worse as its some of the most fun memories i have in gaming and seeing the missed potential is just so sad.

[@spidrre]

well, I can't agree with Biggs about the cartel market, because while it is tottaly bad to focus on that, game kinda stays alive through CM. If the game revenue drops, then game publisher can just close it for not making profit

@@spidrre Stays alive? What exactly is alive because of the CM? Decade old raids? Decade old pvp with zero competition? Fleet erpers?

Because grouping up with the last few pvpers that can't cope with their game they played in their youth dying to smash some noobs who can't even do a rotation is not a game worth playing. This game is the biggest scam in mmo history and the developers need to be blacklisted from all future projects in gaming.

[@turmoil7825]

Mark spitting facts

[@MarkLeiderman]

I agree with you on every point made, particularly the story. I admit, I took some enjoyment in KotFE story, it was a first time for a long while that main character was nerfed a little and put on the defense, and some of the character drama was well enough written, but that was the end of it. The jump in power and scale that KotFE and KotET were disasterous to engagement in any story that came after. Outlander should never have been the one to defeat Valkorion and Zakuul. He should have been instrumental to that victory, but it should have been a natural and gradual process of Zakuul crumbling under the inept rule of children with acknowledgement issues from their daddy. Not everything has to be about the main character, because once it is, it's really hard to come back from. What followed were feeble attempts to drain that excess power back, so that stakes could be repaired. Order of Zildrog storyline came out of nowhere and was a horrible way to get rid of the gravestone and the eternal fleet. Jedi under siege hinged on return of Malgus. IMHO Malgus should have stayed dead. It would have allowed him to retain his identity. Malgus didn't return the same character he was going down as. Nothing about Malgus now reflects his philosophy of a Sith Warrior, of his hatred for political animals in the Sith, of false Sith, or his own strive to root the weakness out. He has 'transcended' into false sophistication and vague premonitionry about what is to come and a war without no victor to obscure it ooooh another mistery pulled out of their ass. Onslaught was a horrible story that hinged a decades long galactic conflict on a shipyard and a fucking gas station. There are hundreds of star systems involved in the conflict, just to put it in perspective. The writers of the story have never seen a Star Wars galaxy map. Another thing I hated with passion about it was Vitiate's coming back, if you missed him, but only for a sequence. Legacy of the Sith just delivers nothing that it has promised, you said it best yourself. The 7.4 story will not fix it. I know it won't because it will only serve as an introduction to the daily area, again. We need another reset, but this time done right, with at least an afterthought of the story having to continue.

[@elnar71]

[@pathrikwexley8560]

Great video, Biggs, really loved your passion there, spoken so well I agree with a lot of thing you say, I want another warzone map, make another with the Odessen mode or Voidstar but on republic ship. Maybe don't release as much daily zones as well, like there are so many daily zones, I'm not even doing most of them. Last patch had datacron as well, questline longer than main story of that patch from both sides together, running around galaxy and the reward was nothing, +10 endurance, I got datacrons there were much shorter and were more rewarding than that, the device you make there is just useless, anti-lava shield, you don't need it past that datacron, at least that Ruhnuk had stuff that helped you with the daily are, like the jump pad boots that unlocked shortcuts around the entire map. Can't speak much for raids as I'm just getting into Vet modes slowly. I can say I don't care for tha mando conflict at all, it's always literally they are somewhere, come there and break their plans, they escape to regroup, it's tiring. Latest story had update brought this new character that just blames you for everything and yells at you for dumb stuff and you just have to work with her because you're forced to, not that the one I came there with would've been better, Arn is uninterresting as hell and so is Tau, imps really won it in onslaught with getting Anri, an actually likeable character, too bad we don't get her permanently. The mission is on Ord Mantell, I don't wanna be there with Arn or some Petra, screw that, give me Aric Jorgan that was with me since then or Corso. As for cartel market, the dyes are overpriced, like more than black/black one, I picked up only 2 after careful consideration, the armors are terrible, there's literally a mandalorian armor every single update, because they got to ride on that mandalorian hype dick even after it dies. I don't care for remakes of character outfits from Disney+ shows, give me something swtor, like remake the Havoc Squad armor to actually look like in trailers, not another variant of modern mandalorian that visually doesn't even fit current era

[@DatManJB]

Mark I love your contects so much,. You helped me to get to know game and lots of things with your videos. I even achived to get in top 5 in "EU Malgus" server in pvp a lot a lot. I had so much good memeories which some time to some time me and bros watching our old clips and laugh, This game was amazing to me because it was already doing everything good and it was about star wars. People who don't know mmo or don't like in general, started playing this game because its star was lore and it ploted golden age of siths and jedis "real jedi and siths". There was story, presentation, gameplay, easy class to play, hard and rewarding gameplays, you can get everything without spending a dolar with in game currency, more and more and more so much more. But to talk real after that big update, they gave their suicide. So much to say but long sory short, there is no equal mmo rpg to swtor, I tried all playable non pay to win mmos but nothing like swtor. Hope they will make new one one day or atleast they will bring something back but I don't think so. Thank you for everything again we all love you even if you don't take swtor videos.

[@jakesnow5728]

I've been playing since release, on and off for 2-3 months every year. I think it's the familiarity that kept me coming back more than the new content but it's finally run its course. I have a feeling that whatever would compel me to come back to the game, the dev either cannot or will not do.

[@RandomGuy-ed8zq]

Thank you for speaking your mind. The Mandalorian storyline is so obviously pandering to the Disney+ show audiences, its sad. It should be something that the Hunter alone should have to deal with, not the other Commander classes. Worst of all, they keep dragging it on and on, and its hard to care. You know the Mandalorians will go back to being the same savages they've always been with or without Shae because that's how it goes in the lore all the way until the movies. There is no tension, no investment and there will probably be no payoff. Ruhnuk could have easily been the end of it but nooooo, Heta must escape again in classic twirling mustache villian fashion because the Disney+ show is still going, and so must this meaningless plot

[@NemXX2]

I got the survey and was also a bit displeased. I left feeback that they need proper expansions back. That i would pay for them if they were to be worthwhile. Bring a raid, bring new zones, new stories. Heck... just do a Revan style expansion again. Adding a new combat style/class would be great too. But, at this point it's a miracle the game is still being worked on and it goes as a testament to the passionate fans and not the development decisions. I'm not sure they even have the resources to pick themselves back up at this point. Either way i will say. I loved SWTOR but SWTOR didn't love us back. You don't need to determine the way to milk us out of our money. You need to request our presence. A fun game with good stable and predictable content cadence. With expansions to build the hype and bring players back. Do that and i will be happy to get stuff off the CM again. But, it's something we never had in this game, so i am skeptical we ever will. At this point i play WoW and FF. Both titles have content luls but offer a lot of it in an expected cadence and big expansions. That is the model. I know that you couldn't make it work and thus F2P. So, if you must F2P, there is also the elder scrolls online model with yearly expansions. That could work too. Either way, you need expansions. They are the only way to get players back. And i mean real expansions not patches. Something like Revan. This is basically the feedback i left. I also have a good idea, which is to make a new expansion that is big enough you can call it SWTOR 2. Still the same game, but a completely new story after a time jump like the knights of expansions were. A new entry point. A new class, 3-4 planets, new raids and dungeons every 6 months. Find a cadence that works. FF has 4 bosses per tier and they are all the same raid. Come up with something that you can deliver and support raiding guilds. That was the main thing that caused players to leave. That is the idea, but i no longer expect it to happen. Hope is still there though. Always, in the force. 😉 With all its downsides, i truly loved playing this game and it was always that there wasn't more of it.

[@donutkidpastry7895]

If the game injected two new classes one force using and one blaster using one for republic and imperial side, released a big story expansion and then retained all the players they got with a consistent raid schedule release that got us at least like 2 raids in a year and a bunch of new flashpoints with a storyline that didn’t retread the emperor again I think they could bring it back, I wish this game had as many passionate people working on it as are playing it

[@justsomedude1574]

They don't even respond to suspension appeals anymore, I said that something was a point of view I heard, and they thought I was saying that something to someone, I got account suspended for it, I appealed and 2 days later still no reply from them. Lights are on but no one is behind the wheel

[@Cipher_Nine]

I enjoy the Mandalorian story. My problem is the devs are releasing the story way too slowly. I don't want Malgus to ever come back as much as I love him. I think right now they need to wrap up whatever they got going on with the Mandalorians and Darth Nul and they need to send the Republic and the Empire back into a big war.

[@NoobMaster69-ho7dl]

As someone who came from SWG after its shutdown and pre-ordered the original game in 2011. I agree with this wholeheartedly. I LOVED this game and still do. I REALLY hope that Broadsword goes back to the games roots of what its original idea was and start bringing out meaningful content, new pvp zones, operations, flashpoints that have substance. Even having story content that has actual full voice overs again rather than the main character giving the silent treatment response that we've seen post Eternal Throne would be a start. That being said, You can tell that they have become complacent because there hasn't been a new "cartel pack" in years. So here's hoping that the next dev stream on the 14th teases something worth while.

For what its worth this was a really good summary of whats been going on with the game. i havent kept up with the story but just looking from the outside in it feel kinda unintresting so i didnt mind the spoilers. turns out my suspicion was right and the story is pointless. a new and good story was pretty much the last redeeming quality this game had in my opinion. sure i always liked pvp but it gets very repetetive after a while. see you in the riot mmo?

[@Pushing_Pixels]

It would be awesome if they could come out with some new class specific storylines that run concurrently, like the original game, instead of the homogeneous protagonist of the later expansions, but they don't have the resources for that. People forget that when SWTOR was released it was the most expensive game ever made. It was basically 8 full length single-player games rolled into one big multiplayer world. The amount of work that went into it and the quality they achieved is remarkable, and the base game remains an underrated gem. But it was never the WOW-killer EA hoped, and it probably took them a long time to make their money back. Even a relatively short expansion with 8 different voiced storylines would take far more people than the current studio has and cost far more than the game makes in revenue. Speaking of which, it's the subs and the Cartel Market whales that are keeping the lights on, so it's understandable that they want to know how to make the Cartel Market more interesting. Adding nightmare modes to the activities that don't have it should be within their reach though, same with adding a few new Warzone maps. That stuff is low hanging fruit. Putting more effort into the story writing should be doable too, given how short the incremental releases are. I sometimes wonder whether they even have a long-term plan for the storyline, or whether they're just winging it as they go.

[@CondemnedInformer]

Would you be keen on a progression server? As if they launched a new server, capped at 50 and you had the old gearing system from the raids, pvp etc?

[@leemonk384]

Always loved your content. I'm out of the game for a while too but can't help but keep looking, keep checking, keep reading. I'd imagine there are many many thousands like that... In relation to this 'speach'......... it was so good.... they could make a film out of it!

[@TheMr_Phant0m]

The Mando storyline feels more like a side quest that should turn into something bigger, but I doubt it ever will. Its really boring too all I care about is Malgus and even he is getting old. Also I really hate that all the classes lose their identity in the dlc. The thing that got me into the game was the diversity in playthroughs during the base game. Even though the base game has you visit all the same planets no visit felt the same class to class, now I play through any dlc and after one playthrough I'm bored.

[@bernavei800]

Hi! I just recently got into the game and so far I love it (mostly F2P here). Also your guides on the classes have helped me a lot (especially the Combat Sentinel one, I couldn't figure out how to actually deal considerable damage for a while before watching the video lol). Even to a new player like me this video feels very important. I agree heavily on the addition of a Melee Tech Class, I think it just makes sense, both mechanicaly and thematicaly. I mean, several NPCs are Melee Tech combatants, why can't we be one as well? Also, I don't really play PvP (never been a fan of any sort of PvP in any game), but I find that SWTOR lacks more varied PvP modes. I haven't really gotten into any of the expansions but from what I heard, this new stuff has been kinda disappointing, especially the recent Malgus stuff. I would suggest something related to Kotor 2, like exploring all that stuff about Echoes in the Force, Darth Nihilus and maybe even Kreia as a Force Ghost of some sort, I think it would be really interesting. If not this, I would go for exploring the lore of other Ancient Sith Lords, like Marka Ragnos (my favorite of them) and Darth Anddedu. Also, I really wanted to be able to actually craft color crystals I can actually equip. I heard there used to be blue bordered color crystal you could craft through artifice, so I think it would be really cool to do that again. I haven't spent anything on the Cartel Market as of yet, so I don't really care that much. Just bring very exclusive stuff and that's good enough for me. In conclusion, thanks for this eye-opening video on this gem of a game I ended up joining a tad bit late. And thanks for the guides, they really helped me. I hope the things get better in the game as well!

[@rationsmaster776]

I have been playing this game for over a year now and I am starting to finish most of the old content that the game has to offer. And honesty, it scares me to think that one day I will get bored of this game. As you say, the game has soo much good class/character concepts, and charm that I love about the game. I have been doing some PvP as a healer, and honestly, it is fun to carry the team as a corruption Sorc and do big Hps even if I don't win, it is still pretty fun. And it is fun to do high end raiding and do crazy stuff with my team. It is really fun to play this game. But to see an old time fan of the game that has played it for well over a decade and has seen the high and lows the game has seen personally, pour his heart out about why the game is doing nothing about it's great potential is just sad to see. I really wish that the SWTOR devs see this video and take note of the surveys that they are receiving and maybe, probably, new content that will stand the test of time instead of relying on doing short term things like galactic seasons and cosmetics that will be cool for only a few months before it is forgotten. I just hope that when that time comes. When the game has truly come back to it's former glory, I haven't left either.

[@CondemnedInformer]

They should get the writer who wrote the Imperial Agent story back and give him free reign. The real issue is that Bioware...sorry Broadsword has to ask Disney for permission on any and all story content. It's a joke, like the guys that created KotOR cannot be trusted with the SW canon, no Disney, that's you.

[@bindair_dundat]

I don't particularly agree with the Cartel Market bit. The fact that you get Cartel Coins for subbing makes it better to use the CM. And when the CM had fun items, people liked spending their free CCs there. I would say add more Character Customization options to the CM. Let us have more beard options on Cyborgs (or separate beard and cybernetic sliders), more overlays for skins like the Rakata creeps, or the beaten face, or even the wrinkly Zash skin. Add more Companion Customization options. I'd love to seen Rakghoul skins for ALL companions. And Dark Side skins for all good companions and Light Side skins for all bad companions. Like a blue-eyed Lana, or a Nadja with sith eyes. Even if these are just for the looks and have no actual story to them, they would be fun for roleplayers. Maybe add animated masks that could make you look like the various non-playable humanoid species, like duros, neimodian, houk, etc. They could work like the Callous Conqueror helmet that blinks like it was your face. It could even be tied to some new recurring event, to give players something to collect through several months.

[@wolfpack95805]

When a game/movie or something like this resorts to unusual spikes in marketing and/or in-universe microtransaction peddling, you know they're grasping at pennies to try to satisfy the higher-ups that are displeased with balance sheets. If the devs tried to "go down swinging" and focus on what loyal but disappointed players wanted, they'd be canned long before the numbers would show they were right, just because they didn't follow the CEO's idiotic vision. I'm working for a company that's going this route of increased ads and pushing its staff to uncomfortable levels trying to sell their benefits aside from actual merchandise, and let me tell you they are certainly not doing well. That's what it all is: grasping at pennies to try and keep the game running on a feeding tube for the CEOs whose golden parachutes get bigger every day they're overseeing a cash cow project like this.

and yeah, it's unusual because of all the things people gripe about that the game is dropping the ball on, the one thing they never seem to fail us on anymore is consistent updates to their Cartel Market. Imagine how many people would flock back to dusty old Hard Mode+ content if half of that stuff they sell was droppable upon completion of an actually full slate of Operations

[@xSardo]

Well most of us already know the story about 15$ ingame shop pony story starcraft2 wings of liberty dev told us and most important question is Cartel Market purchases other questions are just pretext

[@lazyswayze3123]

Very well worded video that I feel like touches on a lot of the anger points of what this Game was When it was first Released. I'll be the first to admit it when SWTOR First came out it was a WoW clone with a Star Wars paint job. After its first expansion though, A lot of people perked up the stories and story telling that was already good got even better it differed from WoW in a lot. Now its different from all the big MMOs for a different reason that being the current Story matters much less than it should. The content on offer is 5+ years old and most damming of all the only new things being offered that are not just filler are whale bait in the form of Cash shop crap. I remember when SWTOR first came out it had really good stories that made sense. Amazing writing and pretty regular updates. But if the current and last expansions are anything to go by the Dev Team gave up and the new team(current team with same members under a new company) Has such a hard hike up the mountain its easier to let it die a slow death trying to break even rather than give something new, interesting, or even meaningful. I really do hope things change for the better. I look at the current state of SWTOR and i cry for the game high we had in past years. I am really hoping for the best out of this game but given what has been shown so far.. I am not optimistic SWTOR I hope you that you can input the coordinates to hyperspace one last time.

LOOK WHO CAME BACK TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenbell2376]

You should do a stream for your 10k subs milestone --- MBF

[@MadelineMysterious]

city of heroes is back and going strong. please try it, it's free, all content unlocked. I think if you can get into it you'd make builds no one else had and explain things better than the .. well losers on their forums. It has to be homecoming though, not the other coh/v servers.

[@MadelineMysterious]

and choose torchbearer as the server.

[@skinnedranger2427]

I’m just waiting for new WZ maps man. I want Empire vs. Republican again, and perhaps some maps that revolve around that

[@invidofinp1828]

Should have saved the Mando storyline as a side quest for something larger

[@Cheshire3Cat21]

Fanfic has more soul and talent than whatever the fk is going on in Swtor's story right now.

[@TothBalesz]

Let me add to this from a new player's perspective... What Legacy of the Sith did is that it continued a storyline they started back in Onslaught, they made the expansion free, and they added a bunch of quality of life stuff. Essentially for the longterm health of the game they took a huge L because the veteran players got almost nothing, but for me, someone who never played swtor before, it was the perfect time to jump in. So now I'm in this weird situation where I got hooked and I like the game but a large portion of the playerbase went doom and gloom and declared the game dead. What the fuck am I suppose to do now?

[@Reecem0122]

I really hope they listen

[@90Rush]

Even for the cartel market, they already made everything cool from the old EU by like 2015 to 2016, after which the sequel trilogy promptly drops to have the crossguard lightsaber which were also made into v-shaped guards for both single and double bladed lightsabers. By 2017 or 2018 I think the cartel market is basically saturated by, like, everything there is to have in Star Wars, what is there to add at this point? Mandalorians ... wait, cartel market is already filled with Mandalorian gear at this point. Recolor of some EU gear, like a Ulic Qel Droma armor or Satele Shan armor with slightly different patterns and color schemes? Or the extrovert series that was being released in 2018 or 19? Thana's one is cool because the underboob doesn't look entirely out of place but the later released ones just scream low effort. The only new thing to stand out a bit are the overly expensive NPC packs for player housing. Even for housing the last one is fleet SH released in 2021 which kinda pales in comparison to Rishi or Alderaan because it only has interior and no exterior look but that also goes to be a part of the lack of content problem.

[@90Rush]

If we think about it, one way to add new content and promote cartel content at the same time is to add the Yoda race. I don't care if it's weird to kiss Yoda but it will be funny.

[@lebrunjemz687]

well Nim karragga/vault was there but it got removed lol

[@FilthySF]

Nice video bro, couldn't agree more about the story these days it's like I'm watching a TV show as opposed to playing a game where im the main character and the story revolves around me. Only way that would be acceptable to me to finish of this story is if Mandalorians united and then started a massive war with the Imps/Pubs and it would be The II Mandalorian wars. Would need a new faction with 4 mirror classes and stories, and while I'm making up content that will never happen might as well throw a 5th new class in there too 😂😂 then this boring story might be justified in the end...

[@kuznetsov287]

All content end after 3.0)

[@Oppetsismiimsitsitc]

once smash monke always smash monke. monke smash.

[@Linkforlife199]

I would be happy if they brought back NiM KP or EV, as long as they do it right and don't take mechanics out of SM and HM and throw them into NiM to "make it difficult" with increased health and damage. The Mandalorian dick measuring contest between Shae and Heta was really hamfisted into the game, I still have not done the Showdown on Ruhnuk story mission because I really do not care about them after defeating Valkorian and Zildrogg, everything else just feels meaningless since it feels like the PC has become a space janitor, cleaning up every little scuffle that even. I half expect them to release a "cat stuck in the tree" quest that they expect us to complete as a main story mission at this point. I still remember being heavily invested into the base game class storylines (although, I still say the Consular has the weakest of the 8 but was still interesting), hell, even the Rise of the Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan expansion had me invested into the story. I loved going through the base game class and planetary storylines, including the bonus series missions (shout out to the Republic Tatooine bonus series here), they made things interesting and fun to play.

[@trav37z0r]

😢 another rant that hits the nail on the head

[@mynameajeffblack8265]

This video is a masterpiece, did you use script or it all improvised directly from your soul?

[@andrewmontreal]

I got one too,I basicly told them what you said.

[@REOFIRE36]

Love this video. And love this game. Hope they get back to stuff thats fun and exciting.

[@rhavioli]

Swtor is like gamefreak remaking Pokémon gen 1 several times

[@JoaoPedro-td8pj]

I don't understand why they did cut so much the development after KOTET release, back into 2016. It was their biggest mistake. we almost don't get any content after that, that is is not on a very low budget and it shows. The maintenance mod will just get the game so far, before it leads to its death... oh well, it was a fun journey, at least

[@short72hp1]

I havent bought any thig from the Market in ages or the exchange

[@SongsAboutHappiness]

Like most mmos its a bit hard after so many world ending events lol. I don't even have a vague idea of the wow or gw2 story anymore.

[@sixpaths66]

They should write something with darth nihilus

[@rostov2211]

Short answer to your question on Shae and Heta - NO. In case that wasn't clear. NO.

[@VictoriaPipi]

so after hearing you ranting and complaining, can you please come back and make swtor pvp video again? because i enjoy it

[@daneg]

ha! you got one? 😆 miss u. 😍 edit: empty calorie analogy is quite good.

[@donnolaverde]

NO i dont care about story anymore, the reasons why i still play the game are my guild and my friends.

[@noxi8766]

I want the legacy of the Sith story be about the sith q.q

[@scooby6661]

Nice video

[@lebrunjemz687]

it's pretty clear the devs are hilariously underbudget

[@shuntao3475]

Biggs, I have busted your balls on PvP topic, but have always respected your Content and views of the Game. Thank you for all the Work that you have done over the years. Let's see here........ First Off..... Yeah well, Excluding the Shae Story (more on that soon), everything you have stated is SPOT ON. It is why I have come and gone over the past 10 years. It is why all of my guildmates are gone. So, from this perspective, you are 100% SPOT ON CORRECT No more to say. As the Shae Story, I like Shae. I have liked her from the Original Cinematic and would like more of her. However, they have changed her and not in a good way. Heta Kol is worthless, there is no reason to hate/like her. As for the Malgus Story.... SNORE. I hate the Constant Star Wars revive the Dead crap. Malgus Died, we killed him, move on. Malgus Story Part 2, Jedi Master Gnost-Dural is a freaking Waste. He was a Wate in the Original Jedi Knight Story; he is a waste now. Should have KILLED him off during the Knight Arc 2. If I had severed in the Marines with an idiot like this, wait I did, and I got out. Gnost-Dural is why I do not mind the Shae Story continuing, because I do not want to see anymore of Gnost-Dural. Malgus Part 3 - All new Characters have been terrible since the Original Story, wait I do like Major Anri (best new character since Launch and I am a Pub player) Tau and Arn are complete Trash. I hate every new story I have to listen to these dimwits. Malgus Part 4, Thank you for Bringing Back Kira, this was the smartest Move since Launch. We all know, Kira, Vette, Jasea, HK (any Model) are the most solid Companions in the game... WHY not use them. I tried to keep it Short.....

[@advo1053]

I looked at the first week of GS5 content, and I went to cancel my subscription. I didn’t even log in the rest of my sub. I looked at doing the same things, yet again, and I hit the wall. The BioWare business model going back to launch was based on the players repeating content over and over again. They’re still doing the same thing in 2023. I responded to the survey much like the others have. Without something new to do, I’m out of here. One thing I’d point out is they aren’t going to draw many new players in. All they can realistically hope for is getting old players back. By now you’ll either play SWTOR or you won’t.

[@FeaturingRob]

While I love Space Barbie, I love the toons I have created, and I love the base game stories. HOWEVER...the focus on the Cartel Market is ridiculous, as is the constant Mandalorian-focused storyline. I haven't even played it because I don't care about it. My main toon tried to do Spirit of Vengence, and I hated it as far as I got (and this was when it was badly bugged). I have been doing the minimum as far as Galactic Seasons this time around, and I am still almost done with it on three servers, I am mainly doing it for the cartel coins rather than the armor or weapons (which are so boring btw). You are not wrong, Mark. Those of us who are only a few years into the game are not as pissed as you, as heartbroken, but we are feeling it, too. We're just waiting around for the miracle of Biblical proportions that will see SWTOR actually make something awesome...and losing hope. Take care, dude!

[@Deku-vo2dn]

I agree with you with the story 100% the story went downhill ever since after the KOTET expansion

[@alexneumann3092]

To me already KOTFE was a big step in the wrong direction.

[@Deku-vo2dn]

@alexneumann3092 how? I mean everyone has their opinions but it was the best story in SWTOR

[@alexneumann3092]

@@Deku-vo2dn Yeah I am probably in the minority here, but I never really liked Valkorion/the Emperor and later his family story line to begin with. As a character Valkorion is way too overpowered for his own good. He is way stronger than we could ever hope to be and is probably the strongest Sith to ever exist. He really seems like an anime protagonists in terms of power level, and while I like anime, I don't like to have it in my SW. Plus the game isn't really well in portraying it either. In reality we could never really hope to beat Valkorion fair and square because he is that much stronger. But he is also is not really an intriguing character. To me he is boring. I always preferred the likes of Malgus (or Darth Marr) over the Emperor, because Malgus isn't stupidly overpowered and also has to rely on his wits to overcome a situation. Not just sheer power.

[@thegoochinc5359]

Imagine not having the nous to make an 8 v 8 PVP map where total kills wins and no objectives.
