Not a single new or update about the combat. The most boring, tedious and slow combat ever.WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO HAVE A BETTER COMBAT SYSTEM?! I wish it could become a Chivalry-like where your moves MATTER and there are dismemberments, but if it's not possible, at least a heavy deep update that makes it FUN to play.>SWTOR wants to be a WoW-killer>has the worst combat ever, tab-target>it's even slower than WoW's>WoW at least keeps updating it, SWTOR is been the same since 2011>EA acts surprised when it didn't triumph over WoW>combat is 97% of gameplay>the other 3% is some cool story-decision, options that don't matter, cashslop, speed to missions but too slow and some other meh stuff>you can't even flight like in WoWAlso, still it's NOT an open-world, unlike WoW. Perhaps if they move the game to another engine (as they said they will do), it will happen.
>>2908329I did the full playthrough once, cancelled my sub. They tried to charge me for another month. No, fuck you.
>>2909424>full playthroughWhich class? The four? Was it / where them good?
>>2908329>Chivalry-likeCringeFor Honor was the best Star Wars game for exactly 1 day during may the 4th some years ago but they never repeated this surprise event, the Mouse probably kicked their door in.This is also what a JK4 multiplayer should look like combat wisehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWlKk9R4Do
>>2908329>>2911548Lol the graphics update alone is already never gonna be finished, the combat will never be touched at all. If you want any kind of variety you need to play nightmare mode operations where you have to do things you usually don't have to do in combat but good luck finding any group for it that doesn't bitch because you don't know everything by heart already
>>2911548In Chivalry there are dismemberments and you can keep fighting despite being mutilated, in For Honor you can't.>>2911633What about the migration of the game to a new engine? The devs said they will do it.
>>2912581It's not a new engine. That would be a gigantic task. Instead they're in the process of porting to directx12 which will grant a lot of performance and visual benefits but it's the same old crusty heroengine underneath the hood. The specific spaghetti coded premature heroengine is going to be with this game forever and it imposes a cap on what's even possible with SWTOR. If I were you I give up on any hope of this game radically transforming. Maybe we'll get a new old republic game and they'll get it right this time.
The sith warrior story was great but holy fuck the gameplay in-between the story was horrific.
>>2912785From what I read, the devs were talking about moving the game to Unreal Engine 5.>>2913644I tried some Republic stories, but they were boring af, no matter the path (Light or Dark). Rn I have three Reich campaigns: Bounty Hunter, Inquisitor and Agent; same as you, the stories are cool but all in between (combat, fast-walk (run is a joke, even if you are in a speeder), companions' approval or not, the new (awfully implemented) random events, non-key dialogue options, etc.) is a constant burnout. Now, I refuse to play any mission that is not part of the stpry arc of the character, aka if is not purple, I'm not doing it.Funny how hundreds of MMOs existed back then, all had the same awful combat and shitty missions that make you feel that you are working instead of having fun doing adventures. No wonder why this genre is nearly dead this days.Also, the dichotomoy between tab-target and action combats is fake, I tried action MMOs like Neverwinter and Guild Wars 2, the combat and missions are the same crap. If the MMO has not a Chivalry-like combat but a button-mashing one, then it's going to be an awful experience.
>>2914570BDO has some fun combat and the world is so well made but the way the story is presented is so fucking shit and gook bullshit on top of that hurts it so much. I don't see any mmos coming any time soon that are good especially tab target ones. Still laughing about ashes of creation.
>>2915509>BDO>"some fun combat", not just FUN combatAka, another button-mashing-slop.>I don't see any mmos coming any time soon that are good Apparently China wants to flood the genre with its games (Where Winds Meet, Conqueror's Blade, Three Kingdoms, etc), South Korea too (Throne & Liberty, etc.), but again, it is the same button-mashing-slop:>your moves don't matter>"a lot of things to do" just like in western MMOs, but all are boring, done to waste yout time and not thinking how bad the games actually are (just like western ones)>"F2P", more like Pay-To-Win>awful "realistic" graphics mixed with anime-slop faces and fairstylesEtc.Dude, I just want an Eve / Ultima Online, where players create the lore (alongside the devs) but with a Chivalry-like combat, there other stuff is just background noise that consume GBs and burns your PC.
>>2915640Good boy points? jk
>>2915640eve sucks ass though, you have mortal online 2 but that sucks so bad.
>>2916660>mortal online 2 but that sucks so bad.Why?
>>2908329They should have us time travel to the sequel era so we can meet Glupp Shitto!
>>2917634Its combat is janky (though more your style), the world feels completely barren. You should try it though you'd like it.
>>2917999Ok, it's not a good gamd, got it, I'm just saying the combat in the MMOs could be better and take notes from actual games (like the ones I already mentionated, Chivalry, Mordhau, M&B, etc).>>2917896Kek'd.
>>2914570I'm not sure where you heard that. Was that just a developer shooting the breeze on a stream or something? As far as I can tell, there are zero plans for an engine change. I'm not sure how that would even work because I'm pretty sure that would just mean rebuilding the game entirely.
>>2925337I assume they are talking about the dx12 upgrade from dx9https://www.swtor.com/info/news/%5Bnews-category%5D/20260331I haven't anything about an entire engine change just engine upgrade.
