SWtoR is by far my favourite MMO.

I enjoy WoW, but it's just too much game that seems to pride itself on having no QoL. That is great for some gamers, but for me I prefer a more casual playthrough with the option of having competitive content at end game - which I have done and enjoyed on swtor.

Things (and very small) missing from WoW that make me always come back here.

Mounting while moving
All flight paths unlocked by default
Quick travel
Personal ship to allow easy TPs to different planets
Raid group sizes

Big things

The swtor map is the most underrated thing this game has imo. It is perfectly clear, you almost never get lost, doors/entrances are highlighted that you need to use to get to your quests - I never really appreciated it until playing other mmos like gw2 and wow

The main story quest. If you want to just progress your main story, you can simply follow a single quest. This is a big draw for me, as I want to experience the different class stories without having to do all the side/planet quests on every character. In WoW there were times where I had 25+ quests; it's just too much.

Legacy. Having endgame items lock to your legacy and are transferable between your chars is excellent. I got BiS on my DPS this patch, used that character to get currency and a good set of gear for my healer and he can start gearing up his specific stat reqs.

Atmosphere. This is very subjective and may be nostalgia talking as a launch player, but starting a new character always gives me a feeling that no other game has. The fleet is simple and just a mirror on the different factions, so again, not overly complicated or long-winded just for the sake of it.

Apologies for the wall of text, but just wanted to put my thoughts down and give props to swtor for continuing to be my favourite mmo after all this time, even with competition coming out. I hope we have many many years of this left.

Hello, I'm a software engineer and have been for over a decade. With the recent landscape shift with AI, it's start to be apparent this career may not be an option for much longer and I'm trying to prepare myself for the inevitable redundancy.

I keep thinking why God would have put me on a path that was doomed to end so quickly. I know this is a bad thing to think and I should be very grateful that I got 10 years working in an industry I like and making a decent amount of money.

It's giving me great anxiety as the skill I have worked hard to become very good at is so quickly going to disappear - by this I mean as a way to make money, I still enjoy it as a hobby.

The world is so different now and it's only going to get worse. These tech companies are doing a great job of replicating the Tower of Babel.

I just want a simple life, like Paul described, but it's seems like an extremely tricky thing to manage these days.

Has anyone else gone through something similar, or any other devs here?

Just pulled Mina and her weapon in 30 pulls (got the weapon with the free 10pull you get for getting her char).

Very happy with that.

What's a good 3rd slot for my team of Mina and flare please?

Wish you all luck with your pulls

Thanks!
