Even though my predictive track record is traditionally not good, last year was a total miss. Looking over the post, I did briefly consider that the year might end with an expansion announcement rather than an actual expansion, but discarded that notion as unlikely. Ah, youth!<\/p>\n<p>So this year, there is nowhere to go but up! However, it\u2019s been tough to come up with predictions this time around. I\u2019ve already engaged in plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/2021\/11\/20\/whos-that-twilek\/\">wild speculation<\/a> about <em>Legacy of the Sith<\/em>, and it\u2019s hard to predict too much beyond what little we know already. Nevertheless, I\u2019ll try to focus my speculation to what happens after 7.0 and what we know of its content.<\/p>\n<h3>Ready for Launch<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-3867 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/launch.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/launch.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/launch-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I feel certain that\u00a0<em>Legacy of the Sith<\/em> will indeed debut on February 15, its second announced launch date. I\u2019ll give them a day or two wiggle room, but I don\u2019t imagine it is a stretch to say that folks at Bioware really, really don\u2019t want another delay. Will there be bugs and glitches? Of course there will. This isn\u2019t my first MMO, and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll have to endure some growing pains as we gear up, wait for things to get fixed and see how players are actually interacting with 7.0\u2019s new systems.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully most bugs won\u2019t affect the average player, but veterans know to strap themselves in and get ready for a bumpy ride for the first part of the expansion. The early weeks of <em>Legacy of the Sith<\/em> should be an interesting time in <strong><em>SWTOR<\/em><\/strong>, but hopefully not <em>too<\/em> interesting!<\/p>\n<h3>That Eriadu That You Do<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-3863 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/eriadu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/eriadu.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/eriadu-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While much of what we know about <em>Legacy of the Sit<\/em>h focuses on Darth Malgus and the conflict between the Republic and the Empire, I don\u2019t think the burgeoning Mandalorian civil war will be ignored. I have a feeling the next phase of that story will take us to the planet Eriadu. Heta Kol\u2019s interest in Clan Cadera may be leading her to Eriadu where Clan Ordo fought alongside Torian Cadera prior to his introduction to\u00a0<em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s main story. That Eriadu appears on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/2021\/09\/11\/maps-and-legends\/\">starmap of Heta Kol&#8217;s path through the Outer Rim<\/a> is probably not a coincidence. Is it a hint or red herring? I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll find out this year.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, I have no idea what might be coming next. I still think Darth Malgus might meet his end on Elom, but I&#8217;m no longer feeling quite as sure as I did at this time last year. Will Darth Nul be the next big threat to the galaxy? It seems like a safe bet, but it remains too early to tell.<\/p>\n<h3>Origin Stories<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-3866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/origin2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Combat Styles and Load Outs are <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s big system changes coming with the expansion, but I fear an unintended consequence of characters having two Combat Styles is that the difference in gameplay between our characters might flatten out the uniqueness of our alts. I have many characters that I play to fill certain rolls in group content: a Shadow I made just to tank, a Sorcerer who only heals, etc. Come\u00a0<em>Legacy of the Sith<\/em>\u00a0when my group needs a tank while I\u2019m playing my healer, I\u2019ll just click a couple buttons to go from Sage to Shadow and Bob\u2019s your uncle. While one character won\u2019t be able to cover every single style, we\u2019ll have more versatility in swapping roles. That\u2019s pretty neat, especially since it will allow me to spent more time playing the characters I like the most, but I hope that doesn\u2019t reduce out the importance of our Origin Stories especially when it comes to <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s ongoing narrative.<\/p>\n<p>An Agent playing as an Operative and a Bounty Hunter playing as an Operative, should still have different story experiences. The difference can be subtle, but still feel big. For example: let\u2019s see the return of our class ships as not only means of transport to new worlds, but also as settings for conversations. It\u2019s become a running joke in the game itself how many of those Zakuul shuttles we\u2019ve crashed, and I think it\u2019s high time we take flight in our classic, iconic ships again.<\/p>\n<p>I also think they can personalize the story with companion interactions. Instead of having Lana delivering the same exposition to each character, how about Troopers get their briefing from Jorgan, Consulars from Iresso, Sith Warriors from Pierce and Agents from Temple? Everyone would be getting the same information, but it would go a long way to make each play through feel different.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> has a huge cast, and wrangling them all into recording booths, especially in this day and age, must be a logistical nightmare, so I know what I&#8217;m suggesting is highly improbable, but I always like it when the game remembers that my Consular isn\u2019t the same character as my Jedi Knight.<\/p>\n<h3>More Customizations<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-3858 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/customizations.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/customizations.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/customizations-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was very happy indeed to see on the PTS several new hairstyles and complexion options in the character creator. More diverse and inclusive customizations are always welcome, and I hope what we\u2019ve seen on the PTS is only the beginning. Obviously, I\u2019d love to see more hairstyles, beards and make-up options for everyone! More skin colors and tattoos (including full body ink) for Mirialan, Rattataki, Togruta, Twi\u2019leks and Zabraks! More elaborate horns for Zabraks and piercings for Rattataki! I\u2019d love to see Cyborgs have access to weird and distinctive enhancements: glowing robotic eyes, segmented faces and mechanical jaws. How cool would it be if Valance\u2019s half-metallic skull became an option for Cyborgs?<\/p>\n<p>I could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/2017\/06\/06\/good-hair-day-five-hair-styles-that-should-be-added-to-swtor\/\">suggest new additions<\/a> for days, but I do hope for more appearance options for our characters inspired by the evolving interpretations of the peoples of the\u00a0<em><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0universe that we have seen since <strong><em>SWTOR<\/em><\/strong>&#8216;s launch.\u00a0I honestly don\u2019t know how much bang for the buck new haircuts or tattoos get versus a cool armor set or weapon, but I definitely feel like the options from <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s character creator are starting to pale in comparison to the competition and the more of those we can get the better.<\/p>\n<h3>Once Porg Unto the Breach, Dear Friends<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"frame aligncenter wp-image-3861 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/porgs2022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/porgs2022.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.generic-hero.com\/ThisWeekinAurabesh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/porgs2022-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look, you knew this one was coming. I seriously considered giving up on Porgs this year, and instead would\u2019ve devoted this last prediction to a desperate hope and plea that <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> not embrace NFTs this year. But I want to keep the tone of this list light, and any such prediction would\u2019ve ended with me curled up on the floor, sobbing \u201cPlease, God, no.\u201d Beside <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> already has a cash shop, and while you may not like the Cartel Market, at least it isn\u2019t preventing anyone from getting a PS5.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover while watching <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ajx9GnNj65g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aviriia\u2019s interview with Charles Boyd<\/a> last fall, I couldn\u2019t help but notice that, <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s Creative Director had a Porg perched on the bookshelf behind him. To that all I can ask is this: WHERE IS MY PORG, CHARLES? WHERE IS MY PORG?!<\/p>\n<p>So this is it. I\u2019m calling it now. 2022 will be not only the year of the Porg, but also the Loth Kitty, the Flesh Raider Baby, the Force Owl and the Rancor Toddler. I predict our characters&#8217; menageries will overflow every wide-eyed, adorable critter the galaxy has to offer. But no Grogu, That\u2019s just crazy talk.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s to 2022! Last year was pretty quiet, and I hope <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em> makes up for it with a tenth anniversary filled to the brim with new characters, breathtaking locations, exciting action and unexpected plot twists that we can all enjoy together. I realize this year&#8217;s predictions have ventured a bit farther into what I hope for <em>Legacy of the Sith<\/em> rather than what I actually foresee, but it seems to me that the days before an expansion are a great time to dream big. What are your hopes and predictions for this year of <em><strong>SWTOR<\/strong><\/em>? I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, let\u2019s continue this blog\u2019s annual tradition of embarrassment with my top five predictions for SWTOR in 2022!
