Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Eternal Throne Impressions - MMORPG.com
You know things are going well when you have to force yourself to put the game down to make a deadline. Back when I wrote my impressions of Knights of the Fallen Empire, I commented that the expansion “starts off with a bang and just doesn't let go.” and the same is true for Knights of the Eternal Throne.

In all, great expansion... I wish it was much longer

I will say that I felt there was a bit of buggyness that bothered me a bit throughout the expansion, and I sort of disliked doing the walker missions more than once to be honest. I just much prefer annihilating everything with my force and weapon prowess rather than a proto-AT-ST. Additionally, I think the bugs sort of added to the difficulty of the Veteran mode, like in Chapter 2 during the beast fight, I did that over and over, but there seemed to be no real way to win on my Juggernaut. When you played it out in story mode, it didn't seem to have the same amount of adds flying from nowhere, and the main beast actually took damage, while you didn't need to burn every defensive GCD in the first 30 seconds of the fight, just to take too much damage after (even with a healing companion).
The redesign on Ravage is EPIC, Juggernauts can actually do damage with this ability now, instead of adds running away, or you having it cancelled mid channel. Some sweet redesigns on ability animations was a real nice quality of life addition.
Only problem is I am a casual now, so I am unsure if I can really progress endgame like I used to.
Also, where the hell does the story go after this? Because it was just waaaay too epic an ending.
Maybe just maybe if chapters rolled out each week it could make it worth while (for those kind of players that like to do nothing but enjoy the movies).
Anyway I subbed for a month to go through both KoTFE and KoTET and so far going through chapters 1-16 in KoTFE was (to me) boring as hell (with exception of chapter 16).
So far I guess the sub will get me it's worth from these 2 "expansions".
Other people are having this issue. Running full windowed mode. If I quit from the game it will freeze and I have to use task manager to kill the process. If you logout to character select and then quit the game it works normally (as of patch 5.0a).
