I think it has been fairly retrofitted in a solid alternative gearing path. My criticisms of Galactic Command were always pretty measured, but there is no doubt the launch of Galactic Command was a mess. Three years is a long, long time for an MMO expansion, and I can’t really argue all that time was filled as well as I would’ve preferred. While I mostly enjoyed each individual piece of content that has come out since 2016, I keep coming back to how long we’ve had to live with it. It seems to me the story was streamlined and some content that was intended to be for solo chapters was re-jiggered into the flashpoints of the Traitor trilogy while the Gods from the Machine operation unfurled one boss at time.

I recall Charles Boyd mentioning that the Fallen Empire story was intended to be a trilogy, but Knights of the Fallen Empire’s lack of group content was that expansion’s least popular aspect. I’m about as far from an insider as you can get, but it is my understanding that there was some significant gear-changing going behind the scenes. By the time Onslaught launches KotET will be almost three years old. Knights of the Fallen Empire lasted a bit more than a year, and Shadow of Revan lasted less than a year. We’ve been playing this expansion longer than any other in the game’s history, a year longer than even than SWTOR’s classic era. However, the thing I will remembe rmost about KotET is its length. I cannot tell you how many times, I’ve stopped to admire countless breathtaking vistas during this expansion. Each of the worlds we visited along the way, from Iokath and Umbara to Copero, Nathema and Ossus, was worth the trip. Briefly, I very much enjoyed the story, it was epic and weird and tragic in all the ways a good Star Wars story can be. I won’t spend time covering ground that I discussed in my first impression and other reviews of content over this expansion. Regardless the sun is setting on the Fallen Empire era, and this seems like a good time to share some closing thoughts on Knights of the Eternal Throne. The launcher is still promising a September debut, but at this point I don’t think I’ve spoken with anyone who believes it will be out next month.

As I write this, no official launch date has been announced for SWTOR’s next expansion, Onslaught.
