It plays very similar to vanilla WoW, where you have a few hot bars filled with abilities and stuff that you click on to attack or buff or heal, ect.
The game is basically KotoR with WoW style combat. Great solo experience just leveling classes.
It wouldn't work because there's no cap on the amount of skills you can have equipped.
They did but they don't have nearly the same amount of development support as they did years ago, and it shows. It's sad to see.
They're busy trying to salvage Anthem from an entirely different studio :/
Yeah tbh I was pretty disappointed with this latest expansion overall. It was over way too fast and it just lacked anything really interesting in the story. The areas looked great and very detailed, but it was pretty boring from start to finish.
Well they sell a LOT of vanity type stuff from armor to mounts and have had a pretty strict F2P model until just recently. So people really needed to spend a little money here and there to open up some of the restrictions. Things like weekly caps on Operations and PVP being the biggest.
Yeah I had a hard time with this as well. I can understand their desire to do it so balancing classes didn't continue to be difficult with each new level cap increase but it's a thing I've hated with this and even WoW. I will always prefer the ability to completely dictate where to put my points and create a unique character. There's still a tiny bit of it here with the 7 or 8 points in the skills section but it's nothing like a nice tree to work with.
I see. Should've guessed the loot boxes, but sounds like their microtransactions as a whole are rather extensive... Certainly makes sense now.
they would have mentioned it if it was more frontloaded
That's not it. There's a reason Lucasfilm has been making new games that are only canon (SWTOR is not), and none of them have narrative choices for the main character.
If you can consider 3 hours of content an expansion pack. Much closer to a content cycle patch mid expansion in WoW.
Standard MMO gameplay with hotkeys for abilities. Very solo friendly with some group based combat. A decent enough rail shooter ship missions and some arena style flight combat from what I remember.
They adjusted the free to play options recently (upped the number of warzones and flashpoints you could do for free weekly, upped the hot bars you get, upped the credit limit) so it's not really that bad tbh.
