It seems a little shallow IMO.

Definitely nowhere near as beefy as Star Wars Galaxies.

The gameplay is MMO standard, sure, but have you ever played through any of the class stories?

Even if your character is still a smaller part of a larger universe, each class gets a KOTOR-like campaign that is more engaging than anything any other MMO offers, IMO.

Instead of needlessly putting in a single player campaign in an MMORPG, why not write a story that makes you part of a larger movement.

Planetside 2, Elite Dangerous and WoW can do it, so can other people.

SWTOR is a pretty good Star Wars story at first, and it makes you feel like your character is an actual character and not just an avatar to hold your gear, but its gameplay is a little lacking.

Then the story eventually craps itself.

So the new Ewok Hunt game mode is pretty fun. Getting some Friday the 13th game vibes from it. It's sad that it's only for a limited time, though. I was excited for the new cosmetics, but looking at them, they've only decided to give skins to Rebels and Resistance members. Some cosmetics for the Galactic Empire and First Order, but only for the Officer class. I was expecting Clone skins like the 501st or 212th, but I guess that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

Pffft. I’ve encountered that a lot. People who think that owning a lot of hats somehow makes them experts at the game.

I mean, it is. But owning a lot of hats doesn't mean one is competent at the game. Half the time most of the people who've actually spent a lot of keys and metals on hats aren't usually that good. It means they're good at the meta game, I suppose.

Considering how much junk food he eats and how aggro he is, we'd be working him up to a heart attack, though, so I guess you're kinda right.

No, it's more about how FTP do stuff like this even now.
