    We should unify behind a message the devs can hear and stop simply accepting what they dish out. We need to develop consensus as a community. Support realistic, reasonable goals and encourage the devs to meet them.

    Look date night will not bring in new subs or players. Content will. More than 30 mins worth. Add more species, add dyes in collections, add decos to collections. Add more classes. Hear me out on this one. Add 1 new sith and jedi and add 2 tech classes. Use the same class stories but new classes with new skills. That would bring people back. 8.0 or 9.0 have the vong war as expansion. That would bring players in. Enough of malgus or valkorian already. This is a list of a few things.

    • @BoomyNation
      @BoomyNation  21 день назад

      I think you're right. If they did a new class with new styles and skills and ran them through a class story, that would get a big bump in players. You're also right. Date night doesn't move the needle. Actual story and end-game content will.

    • @ProphetPX
      @ProphetPX 16 дней назад

      we need a good solid 3+ HOURS of new STORY content PER FACTION -- AND a THIRD faction that is chosen during game play .... AT LEAST a handful of new raids (ops), a NEW GSF MAP PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (2 if they are kind at all), and far better Character Customizations since we now have 64-bit and everything still looks so dated in the textures -- we need many more things. Tip of the iceberg and all that. AND YES they should add 2 or 3 new COMBAT SPECS to EACH "class" tech tree, to give us more to do and how to do it .... totally agree!!!!!

    I tried, I tried SO HARD to stay connected to this game, but we've literally had about a half hour of meaningful story over the past three years. Every single time they come at us with "we're doing X," "we're doing Y" etc. for the next patch, they ignore the ONE THING players truly want, which is more content/story. Why do Musco and Jackie and Keith and everyone over there miss something so fundamental to this game, which is that the most popular stuff is the story content? That's why people universally call the original class stories the best part of the game. Content is everything. What a waste.

      @@ProphetPX That's all fine and good but, the devs creating nothing but busy work instead of MEANINGFUL CONTENT (story, new places to explore, etc.) still isn't going to solve the problem. Most SWTOR players still want storylines, cutscenes, meaningful stuff... not what amounts to new daily quests in a game already full of those. In a few months, it will have been THREE YEARS since Legacy of the Sith started, and if you add up ALL the storyline content for LOTS for those three years, it comes out to about 30-40 minutes. That's it. Busy work won't bring me back to the game, story will.

    The only way they're going to remotely listen is if people in big numbers go to the PTS try this stuff and out voice their opinions on the content. Because if we don't they're going to think they've made the best content any of us have seen. Then get puzzled as to why they're being eaten alive on the forums because people hate it. I like the new content idea, but reminds me of what other mmo's or doing, wish they would of thought out of the box a bit.

    • @Playtechy
      @Playtechy 22 дня назад

      I agree with this, but the compensation for using my free time on the PTS is woefully below the mark, for me at least.
      There is a clear lack of funding and while PTS feedback will address some issues - the lack of funding almost certainly won't be addressed. I have a feeling they're going to start working on a title to replace SWTOR because they're not really putting the same resources into it as they should IMO.
      I've provided feedback on the forums and other means; and none were listened to. Perhaps the PTS has a better track record, but it feels like we're shouting into the void - by the time something gets to the PTS, it is already pretty baked in and they're really just testing for bugs and re-balancing at that point. My issues with SWTOR is the overall direction and lack of resourcing.

    As somebody mentioned, add species. It's easy cash grap that will give players something to do for a while (replay the class story). Seriously, how come they didn't give us Kifar, Zeltron adn other easy species?
    Really like the new whatever it was called encounters. Looks cool. This is the way, this is what content swtor needs. It's always great when they let players test it on PTS before they make it for all. That way players can help. The only thing is... devs must aknowledge publicly that they are aware of bugs people found. Because 50 people reporting something with no response is just disappointing. It can happen that something bugged on PTS simply can't get fixed in time. But at least let people know you are aware of it and wrok on fixing it. That's all I ask.
    Great video btw :)

    The voiceover problem is so easily solved with AI nowadays, and in the end nobody cares who is talking, just see what Elevenlabs can do for little money. Even the Cm items are not cool. They had great designs in Tales of the Jedi/Empire and the anime show, the lightsaber umbrella.

    • @Goosedestroy
      @Goosedestroy 20 дней назад

      The issue with that is ethical though, even if the players themselves don't care the voice actors do. Not to mention SAG AFTRA strike against using AI voices in video games without consent puts the devs in a tricky spot regarding using AI voices, since you still have to pay a large amount to the voice actor to even be able to use their voice as an AI model and they can outright refuse such a request. Which most VA's probably would refuse unless they are offered a large sum of money. It wouldn't hurt anyone to look into it, but I'd assume that using AI voices poses too many problems to work.

    The devs didn't listen 10 years ago to those of us who went on the PTS to PVP... What makes people think they would listen now is beyond me.. They have a star wars based game and its been their goal to milk it as much as possible either under EA or BS. The amount of ppl on the PTS has nothing to do with Business goals and ideals. So long as their are players that want to spend their money on cash shop items, barbie and unlocks (if you are one of those people that's fine) you could get 1000 people on the PTS telling the devs we need "server merge" "we need better class balance" "we need more end game content".
