What can be done to save this game? Do you still play it?

>>383610345

> Remove online multiplayer features
> Center entire experience around a single player character with multiple party members that can be switched in and out and controlled in the three-person party
> Create a more single-player-centric story.
> Rename "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III"

>>383610754
> controlled in the three-person party
Make it 6.

>>383610345

It can't be saved. The underlying engine is a complete fucking mess.

>>383610345
>save this game?
It become all that it can be. Player count peaks and dip before and after and expansion. Dropped it before KOTFE though.

Would do with more class stories though, ironically enough for an MMO, the story was its strongsuit. Its like Bioware threw everyone with any writing capabilities to SWTOR.

>>383610754
literally this

>>383610345
This would have been one of the best games of all time if it was more like a drop-in, drop-out co-op RPG rather than an MMO. All of the MMO shit distracts from it.

I haven't played an MMO since 2005, when I graduated college.

>>383611223

KotOR I and II used a three-person party, and it worked perfectly for those games.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

>>383611664
And how is that in any way relevant to the thread?
Why did you even feel that you need to bring it up?

To be honest, it WAS already broken. As a veteran of old school party based games, this KOTOR felt like a Mega Blocks compare to Real Lego.
But still, this game was good.

>>383610345
Do something about the nickle and diming for the love of God

>>383611808
Only loser faggots play MMOs. All intelligent adults eventually/inevitably come to the realization that they are just treadmills of wasted time with no end, no point, and no payoff.

It was broken beyond repair and never was fixed and never will be. Just let go.

Nothing. The developers are greedy greedy idiots who abandoned the idea of making an MMO and are now just making a single player game with other players in it. The best thing that can happen is it dies and a real kotor 3 might come out.

Probably would still play it but after over 1000 into it I got fucking banned because of a stupid mistake but it was my fault I guess.
I kind of miss having a game in the star wars universe to always go back to but holy shit no I am not starting over.

1000 hours*

>>383613970
... what did you do?

>>383610345
stop doing the retarded Fallen Empire plot, reset to before the expansions came out, and start doing proper class stories again

and it will still be a terrible game

There's too much they'd need to do but cutting down on the cash shop shit would be a start but that's how they get all their money. One of the biggest issues is how expansions first went away from making your class matter to making your faction meaningless to finally making one generic story everyone goes through with only a few different lines depending on your class.

>>383612650
Nigger we are talking about how to make a certain game better. Not your personal notions of adulthood. Get the fuck out of here you spazz.

>>383614280

Nothing, that was the problem. Subbed another month, instantly got bored again and said fuck it, just let the month pass. However, the payment went wrong because whatever the fuck, dunno. But I didn't notice. To the EAmpire it looked like I pretended to sub a month and then took my money back but wanted to play the month anyway. And that is pretty much the worst offense there is to them.
By the time I wanted to go back, almost half a year passed. It told me I was banned and I had to ask like 500 people what even happened. Too late to change anything now.
Should have used fucking GTCs.

>>383611789
>Don't try to innovate
If it was up to people like you, we would still be playing games in 2D and fighting over how many hundreds of pixels our particular animal mascot for a console was best.
Well, the plebs of us would be, the other team would be playing simulator games and text adventure games on PC.

>>383614363
>All these commandos and no smuggler
Come on man, you have evidently tried out all other stories, why not become a space cowboy?

>>383614924
there's two smugglers in there, you donut

I started it up with my girlfriend and we even subbed and played until lvl 40ish. It got worse and worse by the level and the PvP modes outside world-pvp was just a clusterfuck.
We're both hardcore star wars fans, but it just felt like Disney Star Wars throughout. All the grim atmosphere was cartoony at best on the Sith side and the Jedi were either ultra-virgins or had forced inner-conflicts with themselves.

It is literally Saturday Morning Cartoon: The MMO

>>383615305
the blue hair and the Sith on the bottom row

I don't think the one you're talking about is a Smuggler

>>383610345
Honestly the only reason to play this game now is to go through each class story by yourself. Imperial Agent and Jedi Knight stories are pure kino

>>383615382
>dat ass tho!

>>383610345
>more raids
>more end game
>more instances
>rebalancing of old instance because fuck shit like maelstrom where you kick some poor low level in favor of your companion healing

when they went story heavy it broke my guild up, then lost will to play and never looked back.

last thing I remember scorpio took over things

>>383610754
So basically make a different game

>>383610345
Long time player here. It's fine if they want to make this a single player RPG with multi-player elements. The story content was always this game's strongest suit. However, for the love of Christ, if you're going to make a game single player orientated you NEED to up the difficulty and variety of challenges on offer within that single player space. Moving through the story simply isn't fun because it's just so easy. Plenty of MMOs have shown it's possible to provide challenging single player combat with hotbar mechanics. Bioware has no excuse; if the gameplay is brain-dead I have no real incentive to carry on through the story.

>>383616014
JK is so boring, though

>>383616281
We're in the timeline where instead of kotor 3 we got this garbage game and person asking for more endgame content and less story.

>>383610345

delete like 90% of the abilities for every class. Easily one of the most bloated MMOs currently out there.

>>383616991
You can shit your diapers all you want, but it is an MMO. MMOs need end game to keep people active.

Imagine if telltale asked for a monthly subscription for their.. games.

cmon man, there is a time and a place for every meme but you dun fucked up

>>383617093
That's my point retard.
Instead of this being a thread talking about how we all fucking loved kotor 3 there is a post about someone wanting less story in a kotor game, because they've decided to make it an MMO.

>>383614628
I'm not even sure they would have believed you if you noticed it instantly, depends on your history I guess.

>>383610345
>quit around the time
fuck the rest of this green text story, i heard that Mission Vao knockoff got killed recently and im too sad to resub because of that.

literally no other reason to play a male warrior

>>383615597
Not bad 8/10
Post more sluts

>>383617984
She didnt. There is a scene in the latest expansion that 2 of your companions are trapped and you only have enough time to rescue one because they are in different locations. So Vette (Mission Vao knockoff) is one of those characters but she can live

>>383618834
Who's the other one?

>>383618834
>Kaiden and ashley meme again
Why

>>383619379
Because it is a simple way to make an impact on the player assuming they like the characters. Especially when it is a setting where people should die. Would you have preferred you can save both of them and everyone lives happily ever after?

Same reason they kill characters off in movies.

>>383619275
The Mandalorian from the Bounty Hunter. Torian I believe his name is. I was honestly surprised when they killed the character off. I expected the game to just let you save both while one is mildly upset

>>383618617

>>383619697
So companions from 2 different characters then?

>>383620207
Correct. In the later expansions you team up with companions from other characters. So the Trooper can do a mission with Vette and Torian

>>383619697
It's a cheap way to have an impact on the player. It's dumb and played out. It's a bad meme.

>>383610345
Isn't this like the 3rd/4th most succesful MMO on the market, only behind WoW and FFXIV and maybe Tera?
