The players of SWTOR are complaining about the lack of group content. But is there actually something in the works?
No announcement – for now
Although the story of “Knights of the Fallen Empire” has been well received by fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the game is currently suffering from another deficiency: group content. For months, players have been pleading that BioWare’s MMORPG should finally do justice to the three letters MMO again. In the last producer’s livestream, this topic was addressed, and several questions from the community were answered.
The big goal planned for the remaining time of KotFE is to make the “old” group activities exciting and useful again, which has largely been achieved. This primarily included the hero missions, but new content included the star fortresses. Story and cutscenes remain the core aspect of the expansion, which is why unfortunately no new announcements can be made yet. However, discussions are ongoing internally that deal exactly with this topic.
More loot in nightmare mode
At least there is a small ray of hope for all raiders who enjoy the nightmare modes of the various operations. With the introduction of patch 4.1 (Chapter X – “Anarchy in Paradise”), the loot in the corresponding instances will be slightly improved. This means that each final boss will drop at least one item with item level 224, which should provide new incentives to defeat these bosses. The other adversaries will still have a chance to drop the coveted items, but only the final bosses provide a guaranteed reward.
