I'm one of these people that don't think the subscription is worth one operation a week, so was most interested in the pay options for just ops. As far as I can see its 240cc for weekly passes. To equip purple op gear do you need to buy authorization: artifact equipment for 1200cc or authorization: event equipment requisiton for 175cc ? Would that be a one time payment or every time you want to equip?

I haven't done the republic side, but a couple of issues, you would need new quest starters and heroic access points and also the conversations and voice acting would all need to be adjusted to make sense for the opposing faction?

Nice diagram for gearing up from patch 1.2 http://dulfy.net/2012/04/13/dailies-and-pve-gearing-in-1-2/ This lists the items from the hard mode 1.3 flashpoints http://dulfy.net/2012/06/27/hardmode-flashpoint-loot-list1-3/

So all the time I've been playing there have been comments from the game developers about regular updates to content that have failed to materialise. The world event this month was less than an evenings game play even queueing for the open world events, coupled with there being bugs and only just receiving the "twist" in the email last night after completing it a week ago. My subscription lapses in a couple of days and it is to the point now where they would need a big injection of content to keep me as a sub, there is a real lack of end game content It feels like they have stored up all these little bits of contents and will release them all in one go and possibly charge for it, if they do it would certainly leave a bad taste in the mouth.

I think they will probably add the choice when they add free to play, so they can charge for any new warzone types. I think the reason people like different warzones also relates to the class/role they play; obviously some classes have abilities that make them have more fun in huttbull than the others.

Well hopefully depopulate is related to this in the patch notes "Non-boss enemies no longer occasionally respawn after an Operation group has been defeated and re-enters the Operation."

Did they also fix the bug when an instance starts to depopulate or are we going to see that more frequently?

If its one content type every 6 weeks and we have to wait 6 months for operations content, I can't see the operations focused people lasting, since I doubt the whole team will stay subscribed and you'll be caught in an cycle of re-gearing and bleeding people.

I've got to the point on my main where I have one operation a week for my monthly subscription. Since I don't feel like I am getting value for money I doubt I will stay subscribed until F2P comes out, let alone after it.

It is stopping some people from using the group finder as they level up as they say the time taken to travel back means you are better off not doing them.

Does 40% crit chance include buffs? I'm in black hole stuff + bm/wh Relic of Boundless Ages relics I'm at 34% (buffed) at the moment cause I've stacked all power, will have a look at how much power I would need to sac to get up to 40%, but not convinced its necessary.

Is there more then one vendor or is there really only rifles?

Well my 3 month subscription runs on out the 28th so I hope they add new content by then.

You are assuming that the group finder primary function is there to help you get black hole comms; I believe the group finder is there to help casuals and people gearing up. The temptation for geared players to do them is the 5 BH comms. You can still take an archetype group for quick runs, but I would say that it's working forcing archetype groups is correct.

The version you bought wasn't with the promise of possible future rewards, it was what was specified at the time. Don't think you should get anything extra for CE or DE versions.
