Digital Deluxe Edition was USELESS!

I can see it being fun to **** around with, the sort of stuff you use when you are bored or waiting on a group, but yeah, it was 20 bucks for vanity items , really not worth it at all.

There was nothing to imply it would scale, so why assume? Expect nothing more than what is presented.

Origin let out they keys yesterday.

I do kind of wish one of the items was a pet, Ala the ones in WoW collector editions. I always liked their frost wyrm/lil deathwing/diablo ect.

Copies ordered online, have already started shipping from places like Gamestop. I received mine yesterday. People who ordered from a brick and mortar store, however have to wait until the midnight release on the 19th.

I posted a silly scenario a few months ago about DE/CE items.
They are a marketing ploy. The beauty of Capitalism is that they can market their products
however they want, w/in reason, and you the consumer have the right to buy or not to buy. Naturally, in a free society, you also have the right to *****.
Think of this as a lesson learned, one I learned many years ago, DE/CE are RARELY worth
the cost!
You hopefully will be mindful of this when the next big game rolls off the shelves.
Eventually, when enough players start to view such marketing ploys for what they are,
companies will either 1) stop offering them or 2) offer better items.
Buyer beware!
Consumers have the power, NOT the sellers!

It's not really a "marketing ploy" though. http://buy.swtor.com/us/ has listed everything that every package has to offer. And so far I have received no less, more actually when you consider that they began Early Access 2 days earlier than planned.

I, with my own free will, chose to purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition. No Bioware or EA agent told me or forced me to. I alone made the decision knowing full well what product I would be purchasing, social items with no real value other than fun. No where on there does it say that items would scale and nowhere has it been said that they would or would not.

Why waste credits on a 100% speed mount? I'm waiting till 50 to get the 110% UNLESS I make a **** ton of credits in-between.

Just did 10 rounds with the worst customer service in human recorded history. I am playing on a pre order code from August, however I did not receive my DDE code yesterday. I checked my brand spanking pretty new Origin account and they are indicating that I have no old orders no new orders and furthermore they had never heard of me.


Glad to hear I didn't waste any money. I won't use the ugliest crystal I have ever seen on my weapons.

Of course I only have 3 days to play without a code so gunna blast back and enjoy my free play.

Origin account on the website showed everyone as having no order history, it's some kind of bug.

While I am perfectly happy with whatever I get in the CE (won't be able to get mine until the 20th), I will point out that scalable mounts are actually common in MMOs these days. If you buy a mount from Blizzard for WoW, or one from EQ2's SC store, it scales. The ones that came with the Rift special editions also scale.

It's really not asking a whole lot for BW to follow current MMO trends (scaling mounts, reduction of the need to farm, more character customization both in creation and after, phasing content, etc), but that seems to be counter to what they actually want to do, which in the end can possibly be a bad thing for them. They need to follow these trends or they will be dead in the water within a year as people go to games with those features. My hopes are that this is what they released with because they needed to get the game out, and that they will rapidly add to the game in order to keep up with the market.

Oh and removing titles and other things that made the game enjoyable in those little ways from the game at the last minute? Not good at all. And I won't even get into the raising of training prices and the reduction of credits given out by quests and such or the removal of vendors that were there in the last beta build.
