When I got my copy of JtL, I noticed it said on the top "Expansion One", so that got me to thinking what would future expansion's hold?
I'm just going the obvious route and saying more planets to explore, with more character classes, weapons, loots, dungeons, etc.
Maybe some Episode III locations....
Rumor has it that it's the GCW Expansion. TH said in an interview something about the "Galactic Civil War Expansion"... but if he meant a true expansion like JtL or simply that it's just being expanded, who knows. Don't doubt the Devs on making something as crucial as the GCW into an expansion pack so they can make a few extra bucks.
I'm hoping the next expansion will have a few planets. And atmospheric flight. And loads of other stuff that I'm too lazy to list right now...
It was stated more than once and even in some of the magazine interviews and HOC chats that the combat upgrade/revamp would be as large scale as an expansion but would not be purchased. If you read the TEF and the GCW Base changes and meta game you could see that 2 seemingly small systems in the game are going to bring a major level of work to the table. These are just a couple examples of a very large system that is getting worked.
That being said I would almost rather pay 5 bucks to get it on a disk vs. downloading this patch even in small segments because it will probably be large as it is not all backend programming being done.
Another thing that you should also consider, for those of you that want fixes before expansions, combat and any system that relies on combat; (eg. weapons, armor, factions, spawn systems, etc.) is going to be completely rebuilt. Does this mean more bugs? Yes probably BUT the systems are so vast and touch on so many other systems you can probably count on the old bugs going away. New code for AT LEAST 40 percent of the game AND if the testers do their work it could get released pretty clean.
One last thing on kind of a rant point about beta testers...I just hope that vs. the JTL beta, that people actually concentrate on the task at hand and worry about what is already working and what is not and stop crying about what they would like to see. I found over 35,000 posts in one search about this upgrade. If you think the devs do not know what we want at this point you are what "WE" would like to call clueless. If your idea did/does not make it into this upgrade then it was on of the following; too dificult to impliment, not time effective on the release date, not actually as fair as it should be, or maybe even just a bad idea. Just accept that possibility and have a good time with it.
You do realize I made that post a long time ago, correct?
