It is exactly as advertised. I see no problem.

It was obvious none of this stuff was going to compare with the best stuff in the game. The information was out there on exactly what you were buying. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself.

Does what it says on the tin, so I fail to see the problem. They weren't intended to give advantages so their price to usefulness/value ratio was always going to be questionable. Hence why I just stuck with the standard edition.

The only item not as described in the training droid. The mount is exactly as described.

Reality: Crystal is useless in the game, and is one ugly black/yellow color that is unchangeable.
Better then what you start with. Also they posted a long time a go a Pic and there was a Dev post that also told us we could not change it.

Mount: Advertised as a digital/collector mount.
Reality: Give it crappy speed so it becomes obsolete making the mount worthless.
Same speed as all level 25 mounts. They never side it would be faster then that.


The fact that people did not look into what they payed for is on them not EA or Bioware.

at no point did they ever say the DDE/CE mount was going to only be the same as the gurbby level 25 mount and then pretty much worthless after 40.

I;m sure if they had actaully told people the reality of the mount and the glowing turd crystal, or even the useless training droid or the inventory space using print screen button, they would of have only a fraction of the DDE versions sold.

Totally agree with OP.

Don't forget the pre-order crystals can also be bought at a vendor for 10 credits...

So many trollish posts in this thread. Do people really think we want some kind of OP items? I do not call a vanity pet an OP item. I didn't hold out much hope for the Holocam and knew what the Flare gun and Holodancer would be. I'm simply annoyed at the fact that the training droid is blatant false advertising.

I can't really comment on the STAP, is it at least comparable speed with the other vehicles you can get at the same level?

They're going to want to sell mounts and pets etc later down the line, so they're not going to be giving away an infinitely upgradable mount and a pet that fights for you forever and a buffing stone that levels with you, for like $20...this is just not going to happen. So that said, this thread is patently ridiculous.

CAUTION: DO NOT LOAD SWTOR UNLESS YOU HAVE AFTER-MARKET COOLING INSTALLED!!

I don't think most people want the training droid as some kind of fighting pet! I would be happy with something that just follows you around, as was advertised. Sure the description said "combat assistance" but that could be any number of things they could add in that don't give you any real advantage. Currently it is useless and will just get banked and never used. Likewise for the Holocam (I have a print screen key on my keyboard thanks)

I agree, when I got my DDE items, I was rather disappointed. They all got shoved in my Cargo Hold.

I mean, what's with the Holo-Cam thing? Is it really just a first-person screenshotter for retärded people who don't know how to alt-Z to hide their HUD? Waste of a more valuable inventory slot.

I pretty much only preordered for Early Access, and though the design of the STAP is nice, it'll obviously be replaced as soon as I have the 1.5mil credits to buy the epic Level50 speeder from the VIP vendor. Preorder rewards are not the sort of things that should eventually become entirely useless and eventually never seen again.

I realize preorder items shouldn't provide "an advantage over others," but I don't think anything mentioned here would seriously do so. Everyone will eventually be level 50 with a 110% speed vehicle. Letting the STAP scale to that when you purchase the training at level 50 would not be "OP."

And need I even mention the pīssbat, I'm never using the yellow color crystal.
