Got a bit of an MMO itch, tortanic and all, is it worth trying?
based
I've been wondering myself. It's a Bioware game so I instantly do not trust it, especially since it is EA Games Bioware. Anyone have any experience in that game?
I love it personally. If you spend $13-15 for a month sub, and then cancel the subscription, you stay a preferred member, which is immensely better than playing f2p. In that month sub, you can level at least 4-5/8 stories to the end of the main story, and maybe progress 1-2 of your favorite characters through the expansions.
I just started and subbed two days ago.
Sith Inquisitor is rather fun.
It's like Harry Potter except you're killing your classmates.
Nowadays SWTOR is much better as a single game experience than an MMO one.
If you play the Jedi Knight story it's literally KOTOR3
>SWTOR
>ESO
These are both shit-tier games. Only Vanilla WoW is real
I played a little after launch. Is it any better now? Should I bother finishing the rest of the single player stories?
>tfw been playing Secret World
If you play it play as Imperial Agent (best storyline) or Sith Warrior
I really wish they'd make a star wars film or series based on stories like the imperial agent
Darth Sion in light side form.
If there were any specific questions you had, I can answer them too.
Be mindful, while the base game storyline is ok for all classes, the expansions are almost exclusively tailored around playing a force user (Jedi Knight/Consular or a Sith Warrior/Inquisitor).
Also, tread carefully around the Maelstrom Prison/The Foundry flashpoints and the Shadow of Revan expansion, as most people don't like the way Revan's character development was handled.
I would definitely, especially if your account is already preferred status.
Agent story isn't as great as everyone says. Just being honest. It's hailed as one of the better ones, but Knight, Warrior, and Inquisitor are just as good, if not better (depending on your alignment).
It's more a solo game than a MMO. The combat is a bit old and okay-ish, but the solo story are mostly very good (the Imperial Agent main story is absolutely incredible, a must play) and there is a shiton of content.
If you are a solo player who want a long and cool level up experience, go for it
Do the expansions add more class specific content or is it all one story? When does the smuggler story get not fucking boring?
Smuggler story just gets stupider as it progresses though the expansions, if you could imagine that. I stopped playing through my smuggler character's expansion because it didn't fit with the overall tone of the story.
The Shadow of Revan/Knights of the Fallen Empire/Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions are tailored to force users, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief to continue playing through the story. Same goes for the Agent, Trooper, and Bounty Hunter.
a secret is that swtor is actually pretty fun. Yea Forums likes to meme about it but it's a fine game. I played it for a long time and I enjoyed it.
lana best waifu
Played it in CBT, and once a year every year since. The game is a massive steaming pile of dogshit that has been enslaved and lives on for the pure entertainment of EA and to make a quick buck with microtransactions. Its literally a microtransaction slavepig.
The expansions are fucking horrendous, they haven't done any new class stories in a long time, and bioware/ea clearly don't give a fuck. you're better off playing literally anything else, unless you want to do the 1-50 stories one each class and dumping it. But if you want that, just load up youtube.
>Do the expansions add more class specific content
first one is different depending on your faction then it basically becomes one big single player game after shadow of revan
this, every bit of content ever since makeb was clearly made with so little effort and it shows. I played swtor for a long time. they only allow the game to live on because it makes slightly more money than it costs to run.
the 1-50 stories for the most part are ass as well. only a handful of them are acceptable.
the stories are fine enough even if they vary in quality. generally sith warrior and imperial agent are considered the best, while smuggler and trooper are the worst. the lore is all over the place so if your autistic about that you're gonna have a bad time
also the expansions are kind of shit. revans character is butchered even more and valkorion/vitiate is literally just darth nihilus but without his weaknesses that made him unique
they changed the leveling and questing system a few years back so it's piss easy and you only have to do story quests to remain the appropiate level for the planets you visit.
endgame is lackluster at best
also vette is best girl
>trailer and expansion makes Vaylin out to be an extremely sympathetic character who was the victim of a psycho dad who did mindbreaking experiments on her
>can redeem her dickbutt brother but not her
jesus fucking christ bioware it's like every single decision they make has to be retarded
Yeah, I was pretty angry about that.
bounty hunter is just hunting bounties nothing special
imp agent can be good
sith warrior can be good
all the rest are pretty sub par
I'm actually a veteran of this game since it's launch and even though I dropped it around 2015, it still deserves way less shit than anybody gives it. It's a great storyline.
Agent and Warrior can be good. Particularly LS Sith Warrior who isn't a psychopathic edgelord cunt but still believes in the Empire.
Its hilarious when people side with you thinking that you are a better person than Jedi
I'm still disappointed in the missed opportunities
>no playable species that aren't human with tentacles or human with horns like Duros, Bothan, Rodian, Mon Calamari, Gran, Bith, Ithorian etc
>no playable droid
>locking single, dual, and double bladed lightsaber to advanced class
>No Imperial Trooper class that mirrors Republic Trooper
>no Republic Spy class that mirrors Imperial Agent
>no wholly unique Bounty Hunter and Smuggler classes who would share a starter world and choose a side at the end of it
Shut the fuck up, SWTOR is fucking garbage and never will be KOTOR 3
