JovethGonzalez Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi everyone! As you know, we take player feedback very seriously and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for being a part of our Free-to-Play transition. When Game Update 1.5 was on PTS, we heard your feedback and increased Quickbars for Free-to-Play Players, increased Warzones from three to five per week, and reduced the Cartel Coin temporary bind. We want to let you know that we are constantly listening to you folks, and we’ve heard your feedback regarding limited Quickbars for Preferred Status Players. This is why, after an upcoming patch that is scheduled for next week, Preferred Status Players will be given two additional Quickbars (for a total of four) that will immediately improve their gameplay experience. We’ll have more details for you – including information for Preferred Status Players that have already purchased extra Quickbars - once the change goes live. Thanks again for your feedback and please continue to provide it for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Great. I believe you have made a wise choice. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtGeneralGezlin Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Although I still have my sub, this is still a nice thing to see. Hopefully this will help more people become preferred players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldin Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Bleh. Now I'm really regretting buying two hotbars for my character. Be nice if I could get those coins refunded and hotbars removed. I really don't need 6 hotbars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 The last sentence indicates that they'll probably be offering some sort of refund for those who have purchased the quickbars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presbytier Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well the voice of reason prevails. I seriously hope to see a public flogging of the fellow who suggested limiting quickbars to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertySol Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 As a preferred player I'll now be playing SWTOR due to this change. It won't be my primary MMO but I'll play it in my spare time and I'll probably give EA a few more dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Honestly, I was pretty sure they were going to do eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MColes Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not going to effect me, but good on you guys. It's a small touch, and hopefully people will appreciate it. (not likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Now that this is over with, I wonder what people will latch on to next. My guess is either the credit cap or hide head slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazDoit Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Good Call, now consider reworking the Free-to-Play Comparison Chart, since the information there is complete and it doesn't really entices former players to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishraArtificer Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I was hoping this would happen. Frankly, I only need three each on my Vanguard and Powertech tanks. Did the two quickslot restriction also count the companion quickslot bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertySol Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not going to effect me, but good on you guys. It's a small touch, and hopefully people will appreciate it. (not likely) Its not a small touch. Its a massive change. Thats why they had to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxsabe Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 As a preferred player I'll now be playing SWTOR due to this change. It won't be my primary MMO but I'll play it in my spare time and I'll probably give EA a few more dollars. personally i hate EA, so i see it as Bioware gets a few more dollars, EA is ... well a big company that just care for "money" witch is ok for a company stand point, still they don't always do things for the good of the games. like "origin" for fok sake EA give it up, your never gonna be like "Steam" is now !! i'm not gonna install yet an other game manager to play games on my computer, i just avoid games on origin for that reason.! Steam is more then k and i don't need a second game manager. that said i'm very happy i don't "NEED" origin running to play SWTOR. anyways i'm sidetracking here yea nice move on the extra bars. l'll probably keep paying for a sub, cus this game deserves nothing less, but that's me so this change won't affect me personally but i'm happy for the players that do benefit from it.

Korusus Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Now that this is over with, I wonder what people will latch on to next. My guess is either the credit cap or hide head slot. Credit cap is fine and there's logic and reason behind it. Hide head slot is stupid. It's okay to let BioWare know when they're being...you know...stupid.

Guancyto Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Now that this is over with, I wonder what people will latch on to next. My guess is either the credit cap or hide head slot. Definitely credit cap. Restricted hide hat is silly but cosmetic, credit cap actually reduces the market for buying cartel unlocks, since they're tradeable. How many rich *********** would shell out money on purple gear unlocks if they could sell them on GTN for three million credits each?

Rayla_Felana Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 BiOWare should probably advertise these changes on other sites, because a lot of people will still think the UI stuff is the same and never hear about it, it can be the difference between freeing or fleeing.

How many rich *********** would shell out money on purple gear unlocks if they could sell them on GTN for three million credits each? Credit cap would make the most sense. It's probably the most gameplay restricting thing on the list. That said, reward options, reduced xp gains, and inability to equip purple gear all are good targets to be removed as well.

LUCASCASADEIS Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) this is amazing, i hope they will put lower prices in somethings (like the weekly pass and artifact unlock) and the F2P will be perfect Edited November 27, 2012 by LUCASCASADEIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
