More storylines, of course, and more gameplay and modernization improvements as well - we really want to keep our visual quality and user experience feeling fresh and modern as we move into the future.

In one of the interviews, Boyd spoke about the 'next 10 years of SWTOR' and it is clear that EA and BioWare have long-reaching plans for the MMO. The new operation will be a treat for fans of the original two Knights of the Old Republic games.Дespite the rumblings of a vocal minority, there is excitement among the fanbase and enthusiasm among the developers ahead of 7.0's launch. Either way, if anything this change brings SWTOR more in line with how gearing has worked in MMO games for the majority of the genre's history. The changes being introduced to conquests and gearing have resulted in most of the complaints among players, but the staggered item rating increase system as described by the developers indicates that the main gripe people have with the latter is only a temporary one. The Dark versus Light and Renown systems are being retired entirely. Meanwhile, Legendary items and a new gear progression system is completely changing how players will grind for item rating, and conquests are being overhauled. Weapons are coming to the outfit designer, and the level cap is being raised to 80. Similarly, all non-force user specs will be available to all non-force user classes, meaning we'll actually be able to play as bounty hunters using weapons other than dinky pistols. As far as the hardcore fandom is concerned (meaning frequent forum and r/SWTOR posters, mostly) these changes are quite the mixed bag - but then when has any MMO ever announced an expansion that some vocal haters didn't say would kill the game?Д¬lasses and Advanced Classes are being unshackled from one another, meaning you can play through the 'class story' of the Jedi Knight as any of the four force-user classes, meaning that the Hero of Tython can be a Sage or Shadow - and if you alignment dips into the Dark Side, you'll even have access to the Sith specs, and vice versa.

The release date of Legacy of the Sith - which we still don't know, unfortunately - is tactically placed once again to not only coincide with the anniversary, but also with the premiere of The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+ this December, which is expected to drive new players to the MMO keen on living out their fantasies of being one of the top bounty hunters in the galaxy far, far away.Д«ioWare has also spent the past few weeks explaining some of the upcoming - and pretty major - changes hitting SWTOR as part of the 7.0 update in blogs and forum posts. Now, Legacy of the Sith will offer some answers about what Malgus is up to - but it will likely pose plenty of its own questions too, since Creative Director Charles Boyd has expressed in multiple interviews that SWTOR still has a long way to go.Д«etween a 7 minute story overview video and interviews with Gamespot and, the SWTOR team is keen on spreading the news of 7.0 and the 10th anniversary of the game.ДЄfter a slump in popularity following the Knights of the Eternal Throne expansion, the release of Onslaught, the launch of the game on Steam and increased attention thanks to the success of The Mandalorian have put the game back into a healthy place, and the team is planning accordingly. We meet the scarred, cyborg Sith again on Ossus in the lead-up to the Onslaught expansion, and his machinations since that storyline have once again made him the enemy of both factions.
