Not a single new or update about the combat. The most boring, tedious and slow combat ever.
I wish it could become a Chivalry-like where your moves MATTER and there are dismemberments, but if it's not possible, at least a heavy deep update that makes it FUN to play.
>SWTOR wants to be a WoW-killer
>has the worst combat ever, tab-target
>it's even slower than WoW's
>WoW at least keeps updating it, SWTOR is been the same since 2011
>EA acts surprised when it didn't triumph over WoW
>combat is 97% of gameplay
>the other 3% is some cool story-decision, options that don't matter, cashslop, speed to missions but too slow and some other meh stuff
>you can't even flight like in WoW
Also, still it's NOT an open-world, unlike WoW.

Why are you surprised? This game has been on life support for years and no one but the most hardcore Star Wars fans cares. It's confined to the same pit of mediocrity that all MMO's eventually end up.

I think you might be misunderstanding what this game really is. It is not the best foot forward for multi-player star wars. Neither Disney nor EA think that. It is an old attempt to chase the at the time trendy mmo genre and it was clear within a year that they fucked up. Its been allowed to operate for over a decade now on a skeleton crew because it prints money without much effort. They are never going to invest heavy development time or technology in this game again. If a studio has a great idea for a multi-player star wars game, EA will greenlight its development rather than waste any time trying to bring SWTOR up to par. SWTOR has always had immense technical challenges because of the shitty, jury-rigged engine they chose to use so starting over again would be cheaper and easier anyway. And it will probably look more like Destiny or Helldivers because that's what actually popular these days. MMOs are dead. Expect nothing from this game but more of what they've been doing, and expect that to dwindle as well.

It's the only Star Wars game where I can play old republic era sith, not cringy rule of two sith or fallen to the dark side jedincel. Also, only SW game where you can play sith purebloods.
So no matter what you will say, it ends up best SW game for me. Yeah, an mmo. Says more about shitty series that SW is and that fans want their trooper and jedi slop.

Their last few "expansions" have been ass because they started copying the GW2 formula aka splitting them into chunks released over a long period of time. Some interesting stuff in 8.0, though.

I know this board is slow, but this feels like a thread that could have been from more than 10 years ago

I enjoyed SWG but let's not pretend it didn't have its flaws, no actual content for one.
This game has a lot of the older non woke bioware and pre-disney star wars preserved in amber still.
It's also an mmo that didn't flanderize and disneytize (ironic) all of its own property, at least for the classic storylines. I'm amazed that things like leia bikini, slave girls and shock collars still exist there.So the original stories still feel like an immersive world to wander around in, which is something, the engine was improved, and you can do two builds on one character now and mix most classes you want with only force or tech classes having to match a force or tech story which rounds out some interesting RP choices.Their decade + of system and grinds and voice work miraculously add up to something engaging with such as the starship mode (something mmos and even single player rpgs never got right including mass effect itself, owlcat, and Pillars 2)Broadsword seems willing to address a core problem: most of it is too easy, so at least they have the right mindset for mmos. I think they were part of the DAOC crew at one point?It still feels like an RPG due to the incredible story density and length of the single player modes, even if the gearing and build choices are fairly shallow...still more depth in two classes and a companion choice along with a few skill nodes than many.There's little else I can casually play with my friends like this and still grind alone when I want that feels like an RPG not a woke fest or empty korean theme or minecraft builder. Not into waiting the rest of my life for the disappointment that will be "classic +" quote air quotes quote unquote either.I'm not a hardcore star wars fan as I can't stand what the prequels did much less disney but at least I can find some fun there that isn't completely cringy, since if you're an RPG fan it's hard not to love KOTOR.
