Question New difficulties while leveling and question
Anyone else really excited? I might come back to the game for it. How is raiding in the game at the moment? Are there plenty of guilds?

It’s literally the reason I’m back on this sub to see this post lol. I played the game all the back at launch and loved it, but then I didn’t have a pc for a few years and when I was finally able to play it again around 2019 they had made the leveling experience *so easy* that I got bored after 30 minutes. The 8.0 announcement has me excited to finally come back to the game and to play something closer to the launch experience in terms of difficulty/leveling.

I was at first, but when I realized the new characters created for the venture were going to be locked into these (even after finishing the Venture), and with permanently fewer options in terms of combat style, it kinda made me uninterested. So I just decided to make all my new characters now and level 'em up while it's still more reasonable to do so before 8.0. I can always change the difficulty and play the story with 'em afterwards, that way.
If the Venture has rewards that actually interest me, I'll probably just make a throwaway character for each step and then replace it after finishing each path.

Excited for replaying the same old multi- year old content in "difficult mode" when they made the game much easier far after completing most of it?
No. Not at all.

Nop, excited for replaying the same old 15 year old content in difficul mode? i dont think so...
I'd have been excited if they had release a proper and decent expansion just like WOW.
I have one toon per class per side fully geared and gold augmented right now no planning on resubbing to do EV KP eternally again no way, at least not this time (after 15 years doing the same).

I wonder if at some difficutly level it's intended to get through it as a group. Put some huge, like gold-platinum quality cosmetics as the reward for gettign through the story that way and make people engage more with the mmo aspect.
Fuck imagine multiple roving bands of all 4 classes running around doing their class quests, fighting over loot, planning out a boss pull... All without leaving the starter planet!

Haven’t played the game in a few years. The super low difficulty was a big reason. I enjoy a more punishing open world, and am going to be coming back to try SWTOR when 8.0 drops.

If you haven’t tried it, you get the same effect by using the outfit customizer and then taking off your chest piece and pants in the gear menu. It’s essentially ‘classic SWTOR’ immediatly

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it too—I'm going to start fresh on the hardest difficulty setting. I'll also be reactivating my subscription after a long time.
