Yes. You should Return for KotFE NOW! It’s the shortest possible answer I can give you.
Keep reading (or watch the video) to learn my reasons why you should do it and why I recommend you to do that Before the expansion launches in October 2015. Or hear the same thoughts from my Video below.
All here is personal and you by all means don’t have to agree. The following post is mainly aimed at players who left SWTOR a while ago and are considering returning now.
Many people left the game when they heard that there will be no new ops in 4.0. That’s a huge downside for a MMO and I completely agree with the reasons for everyone being disapointed. I myself was and still am one of the angry mob, who was hoping, NO, expecting to see Vitiate as the new EndGame Ops boss in the new 4.0 Operation.
Let’s not talk about other topics. I would like to share my suggestion with all of you, my current subscribers as well as future ones. If you are planing to check out Fallen Empire, I advice you to not wait until the expansion launches. Do it now. Let me tell you why. It is already known that this October the game will go through yet another huge revamp in mechanics and stats. We will not have the class specific stats any more, instead evrything is combined within one single new stat – Mastery. Also the Crit rating and Surge rating will become one, meaning Surge will dissapear and the Crit stat will receive its bonuses as well.
With this and many more changes coming and also depending on the time you left the game, it is a good idea to return if not right now, at least a month or a couple weeks before launch. You have played before, this means you are familiar with the game and its mechanics, formulas, ways of calculating everything. With KotFE this will change and instead of having to relearn brand new things after months or years ago, you will just have to adapt to the changes. To me it sounds a lot easier and simple. Can’t put myself into your heads, so I understand if you completely disagree. Let me know what do you think from the point of a person who left the game a while ago and is considering returning for new stories and some more Glowsticks-action.
The new stories are Bioware’s strongest pillar in advertising the expansion, but since the game is still an MMO, at least on paper, I’d like to believe that the old rehashed and rescaled ops will see some life. I personally wont mind killing Kephess a few more times.
Wityh endgame in mind, I strongly suggest you think about returning to the game before Patch 4.0. You are planing to play the Fallen Empire, this means you will subscribe. So why not do it a bit earlier, give yourself some time to remember the insights and then all the new stuff (both good and bad) that will hit you, will seem easier to chew through and swallow.
That’s it. Controversial one, just like my Togruta Opinion, the previous video in the series. When things are personal, it’s hard to say things that will be liked by all listeners and viewers. I am eager to hear your suggestions as regular players to newcomers and returners, as recently returned to anybody else and so on and so on.
