OPINION: Co-op stories should be the way of all future story content
As some of you might know, I started a new show playing through all the original class now called origin stories in SWTOR. I'm reminded of all the aspects of this game I fell in love with and it's made me realize what newer story content is missing: the option to experience it with friends.
Now don't get me wrong. It's good that solo players can play pretty much all the other content. That is not so much a problem so much as having ALL the story content now be solo play. At the very LEAST players should have the option to bring along a friend or three and the progress should count for everyone.
Part of what made this game so awesome was the fact that you could run story content together whether it was helping a friend on their personal story or going on the planet quests and side quests or even flashpoints. The added fun of randomly selected dialogues and pulling the story in a different direction is part of what made the game seem more... alive!
Since everything is pretty much cross faction at this point, it makes sense to have a story or two stories, Republic and Empire that can be played solo or in a group. While initially I didn't like Makeb getting away from class stories, I realize that was a better execution of story content than KOTET and KOTFE. But instead of retconning those, they could at LEAST make it so you can replay them with a friend...
Anyway, this is just an idea of mine I was inspired to share after dipping back into the original story content. It would be nice to have more resources allocated back into this game. Combat styles was a step in the right direction and it finally seems like they have things figured out for where they want to take this game. I really don't want to see it sunset, hence why I am trying to help revive interest, but I guess in time we will see...
Thanks for considering my idea and as always... May the Force be with you.
