I love the advice from the team telling us to hurry up and buy buy buy before the deadline. Like every player is made of money and have jobs in real life where they earn millions to be able to fund this habit. Guess what? 1) I don't have enough real money at my disposal to be able to spend in such a fashion. 2) I don't earn enough in-game credits due to real life and being more casual in my play style. Due to these two reasons BW is discriminating against people like myself who do want the stuff but are not in a position to be able to acquire everything by the deadline they set. This only further encourages me to cancel my subscription and quit the game. I am struggling to see reasons to play the game when BW keep taking all the fun and enjoyment out of it again and again and offer little incentive to make me want to keep spending my money.

Pre-ordered CE, got early access and been subbed since with some varying length breaks along the way. I'm still enjoying the game even with all the problems this game has had. Then again I feel the game was released far too early but that was the decision they made and this is where we are today. Things may have been different if the game had been launched December 2012 instead of 2011. What annoys me most right now is the lack of focus on looking after loyal subscribers due to the recent emphasis on getting people to spend money on Cartel Coins and focus on the Cartel Market while subscribers don't seem to be getting enough Cartel Coins per month to be able to buy much of anything on the Cartel Market. In the end, this deprives the loyal subscribers from being able to access things simply because they want to pay their sub fee and have access to all the features the game has to offer but not always being able to gain access to those features because of the new SWTOR game experience. Also, with all the stuff coming out on the Cartel Market but not much appearing at the special vendors seems to also suggest that the focus is on the Cartel Market. Fine, if that's what the devs want then they can continue on with this and see what happens with the game and the loyal subscribers. The other issue I have is that I am a casual gamer and only have so much time to dedicate to this game. However, I also want to be able to have the opportunity to complete my codex and participate in everything the game has to offer so that I am still able to complete things even if it's at a slower pace. This issue ties in to events more than anything because where others have had the time to be able to dedicate to such events, others haven't necessarily been in a position to dedicate such time to be able to participate in such events and gain the rewards whatever they are including having been able to complete elements of the game because they have had the time. If I don't have the time and miss out on events, I'll always feel like I'm missing out on things simply because I don't have the time even though I want to be able to participate in these things, get the rewards and complete content in game. I hope the devs take this in to consideration a bit more for the casual players who do actually want to complete content and gain the rewards from participating in these events because if I keep missing out on them due to not having the time then it'll only frustrate me further and maybe one day the frustration will reach a point where I just give up on the game completely and then they've lost a loyal subscriber who hasn't unsubscribed at all since launch. However, what the devs do is up to them and all they can do is make their own decisions and whatever the consequences will be will be. For now I'm continuing to stick with the game because I still have a lot to do since I've only completed the SI and SW stories.

I don't know if this is the place to post this. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Gannifari pet in any other way in the game besides having been eligible for Server Transfers? Just wondering if there is a way to get the Gannifari pet for all my characters, including those that weren't eligible due to the specified closing date of character transfers. So, for new characters created after the closing date for receiving these free items dueto the server transfers there must surely be a way of getting them, especially with the recent extra character slots we've now been given.

Just to say that there was confusion on my part. I wasn't trying to have a go at people who ended up with both CE and DDE versions of the game. I was under the impression that people who had DDE versions and upgraded to CE were getting a further bonus above and beyond what you would receive for each individual version. DDE version = 250 CCs. Fine. CE version = 1000 CCs. Fine. DDE + CE = 1250 CCs. Fine. As I said, based on what I was reading I was under the impression that people who upgraded were getting an extra 250 CCs above 1250 CCS giving a total of 1500 CCs. I was mistaken and I should have looked in to the details properly before making my comment.

This post sums it up. It's great because it's Star Wars. It has potential for so much more because it is Star Wars.

Same thing here. I got shunned by Vette for suggesting that I should be able to have multiple women partners. If only Vette were a bit more open minded but one day I'm sure she'll come around. After all, it's not like she has anyone else. I'll make her mine eventually.

So, you've always wondered why in the Sith Empire you don't see many restaurants running "All you can eat" offers? Well, now you know why. After Baras sent a few restaurants in to bankruptcy it became obvious that this gimmick would never work. One restaurant owner tried to ban Baras at one point for eating too much on the offer but Baras ate him. Also, you've heard of a Barometer right? I wonder if they're telling the truth about what it's really supposed to be a measurement of.

I certainly understand the sentiment of the OP. I'm a subber and feel that everything in game should be accessible without needing to pay more than the subscription. If the current subscriptions aren't enough then I would also be one of the people prepared to pay an increased subscription fee. How this content is made accessible doesn't really matter just as long as it is accessible without needing to fork out extra real money in a transaction outside my standard subscription fee. Right now what I do know is that as a subber I get a monthly income of Cartel Coins, which makes things in the shop accessible. What I don't know is the price of things that will be available in the shop. If I'm only earning a certain amount of Cartel Coins a month and in order to get something I want I need to wait an entire year then that will only encourage me to see this F2P model, not as encouraging F2Pers to subscribe, but to encourage subbers to become F2Pers because a sub will not be worth anything if elements of the game that should be accessible aren't. All I can say is that when the F2P happens and I don't get the experience I feel I deserve as a subber then I will unsub and move on because subbing is the only way I will pay to play.

So, why is there so much variance. I'm a CE owner subbed since launch. I pre-ordered the game and got in to early access. Yet I only have 2650 CCs while others who are in the same position as me have 2700 CCs. Clearly the sums aren't adding up somewhere. Also, why is it that DD edition owners had the opportunity to get an extra 250 CC for upgrading to a CE edition. Surely this must mean that a CE edition is actually worth 1250 CCs. Who came up with this system of calculating who gets how many CCs because it seems a bit of a shambles.

I will freely admit that I have similar issues. The other day I spent ages hanging around trying to find a group to do a heroic mission with. When I do find myself as part of a group doing a mission, once it's over everyone just disbands. If I was aksed to help somebody out and was able to help them then I would but I get a bit fed up at times of spending ages trying to find a group to do a mission. Being the very relaxed casual player who doesn't play on a regular basis, I play when I am able to so when it could be days until I'm next on and I've just spent hours achieving nothing but standing still occasionally posting to general chat and the odd whisper to people who are nearby and can help it all just gets annoying and I just find myself soloing through my story quests. I'm hoping to come across a guild of like minded players at some point in game but so far nothing yet. Good luck to the both of us.

*looks surprised* *looks around seeing if anyone else takes notice of the comment* /whispers "Who told you I was a Lord?" /end whispers /posh english accent "I'm sorry. Just your every day run of the mill nobody here. No need to take any notice of me." /end posh english accent

Agreed. I was expecting side missions at times when all of a sudden, it's like you feel like you missed something important. Even if you weren't involved, a cut scene would be cool to show you what happened, which would be cool for DS Jaesa. As for all companions being affected by your choices, I completely agree. It shouldn't be a case of "Oh, their personality is this and you have to deal with it." As part of my personal story I want to be able to influence all of my companions. If I'm playing LS and have DS companions then I'd like to have more discussions with them about DS/LS matters and get them to see things from my character perspective. Same the other way around. Why? Because they're my companions, they hang around with me all the time out of choice yet they never want to listen to me. I can make Ashara kill many people out and about but back on ship it's like it never happened. It just feels wrong. I actually wanted my Assassin to corrupt Ashara and marry her but that didn't happen. I want to see my character influencing things around them. Hopefully this will improve in future.

Considering the F2P model and the statement saying subscribers will not have to pay more I feel that they will bend the rule and use other MMO games to justify charging extra for an expansion. Then it all comes down to cost and content. Will the content you get justify the cost? I don't know but if they keep annoying their subscribers the subscribers will leave and no more steady cash flow from subscribers, meaning a complete reliance on F2P players leading on to P2W in order to bring in the needed income. We'll have to wait and see what happens. It's one of the moments that could change the game for the better and bring in more subscribers or it will lead to the destruction of the game.

I sometimes wish I could come in to the office and do that, especially to the managers. Would be a nice way to vent and maybe teach them a thing or two about how to treat their employees or face the consequences......

I hope there will be more story content, including companion story content, advancing relationships, affecting alignments and just doing what needs to be done to destroy the enemy. I'm progressing through various stories right now but with my only lvl 50 assassin I hope for the opportunity to continue the story doing what Darths do and maybe more opportunity to participate in the Dark Council and make decisions that affect the Empire.
