Very disappointed in Digital Deluxe items. Not as Advertised.

There's plenty of other threads talking about this too. Surprised we haven't gotten an answer yet.


For the record, the CE is just as bad off. The store we get access to is pretty obviously unfinished. Especially on the Republic side. Which has maybe half the items the Imperial side has, at most. All those unique "cosmetic armors" we were going to get also never showed up either.

There's only one set currently, and the Republic side set doesn't even appear to be properly named. I've checked a ton of major locations, and not seen any NPC using the "Republic Officer" set, that's an officer. It looks like mercenary gear that's been recolored. Contrast that with the Imperial side armor, which is actual Imperial trooper armor, taken piece for piece.

God forbid you bring all that up, though. You'll get jumped by a dozen people who want to know why you're being so "entitled", to want what Bioware said in the CE store megathread would be in.


Really, the DDE and CE as a whole have been disappointing so far. I wish Bioware would actually come out and say what the heck is going on.

Since when do advertisments actually match the product? =)

But all that is the reason I went for a standart edition.

The droid listed as "assisting in combat" does nothing of the sort. The impression given was that there would be people running around with some kind of extra ability putting you at a disadvantage if you didn't have it especially in pvp. The mount is fine, the rest are pointless.

Standard edition available for £35, deluxe £60. £25 ($38 usd) for a mount that lasts from 25 to 40? That has to be the worst value item mall purchase in history, daylight robbery.

I wouldn't mind if it was as described and I could have kept the $38.

Since about the time the U.S became a litigious society.

You don't come out and say there's going to be multiple cosmetic sets, content developed after release for the CE store, and more, on the forums, and then don't deliver on the first point.

The silence is the worst part. If a Bioware rep would just make a thread saying "Yeah, we know it sucks. We'll fix it, don't worry. What we promised is still going to happen", things would be fine. As it is, the silence just keeps feeding people's complaints.

Now is really not the time to be silent on this. It's what, 3 days from release for most people out there?

No it's not. Rift gave you a mount that was the equivalent in speed to your fastest, if I remember right.

It sure as hell does.

you get what you payd for...not more or less..

stop complaining

I agree. I see no reason for NOT having the mount scale to your abilities. Absolutely none.

really OP? REALLY?

i feel i got my money's worth from the DDE. i still feel it was 10$ too much but i don't regret buying.


only minor dissapointment is VIP vendor not having anything other than that mount, and i was hoping after iheard we got VIP lounge access there might be an orange set like the CE vendor has, which wouldn't hurt the CE peopel because they would ahve access to both vendors.

i have to assume they'll add more to both VIP_ lounge vendors though. not a big deal right now, helps crafters sell orange pieces, which is a good thing.

i hoep they never make the lower level mounts scale. i use them in every game to help lowbies run through quests so i'm not racing ahead when we're mounted.

90% mount speed for first tier mount is alot faster than most other games. usually you see 40% or 60% for lowbie mount. 90% vs 110% mount speed isn't that big aof a difference usually

anyways, i like the fluff stuff, and aside from teh STAP i assumed it was all fluff. might've preferred the dorid thing to be a pet rather than targetting thing but no big deal. STAP being little more than -8k off 25 riding cost and a nice custom skin for moutn collectors isn't a big deal either to me.

VIP lounge vendor not having anything of merit isn't a big deal either, since it was not expected to get access to it at all at the time i ordered.

holodancer is fun to spawn on top of random people on fleet station. idk how you can complain about it or what you thought it would be exactly. it's exactly as advertised afaict

As a CE owner I have to agree with the OP. I was very underwhelmed with the in-game "goodies". The STAP is a cool ride but as others have mentioned I wish it would scale with your piloting skill. The VIP area is very underwhelming to say the least, the DD owners and people who pay 1mil to get up there must really feel shafted since they don't even have access to the CE vendor. :/

Don't get me wrong, the game is awesome, but I have to be honest and say the in-game bonus items were disappointing.
