Ive recently picked swtor back up again
Good grief this "expansion" really is awful . bugs a decade old still present , the combat "styles" is just their way of allowing a character to play different classes on an origin story eg Sith Warrior but you chosoe to play that story with the Sorcerer spells and talents and they based most of the selling points of this "expansion" on this fact yet vaguely teased a year earlier that it as what a lot of people thought was what FF14 used to do with cross class skills and stayed silent even in the PTS
The UI is soooo bad , the old version was way better and the new UI tanks the FPS on the loadout screen
The actual "expansion" content is as much as a post MSQ story content patch that this game gives you.
They have been getting worse and worse each year . they failed to impress with Anthem which has now been officially abandoned , in which the Mass Effect Andromeda development suffered for (see polygons reveal piece about it all) they have only just added QOL updates like mass tagging so anyone doing the heroics gets the kill , something needed for over 5 years since they made it part of the end game grind . the cash shop armour and hairstyles are soo poor they clearly phoned it in
Their exclusive SW licence ends next year, and yet they couldn't be bothered to finish SWTOR in style . Such a shame , as they have hands down some of the best class designs in any mmo . Its one of a very rare few that actually have decent damage over time specs , especially since this expansion the damage output of the bounty hunter/trooper fire/energy dot plus the new burst and defence options make them awesome to play and i loved the fact that story /general levelling "dungeons" didn't need the holy trinity so queue times were always low even for dps (when there were more players ofc) and the normal tank, dps, heals was for the level cap harder versions and il always adore that they voice act almost everything with some of bioware veteran VAs like an FF14 fave Gideon Emery
