I hope you plan on adding things, because as it is right now, the extra cash i forked out for some neat social items, seems to be money wasted.

I feel ripped off tbh.
If you forked out extra cash specifically for the CE store then that was a dumb thing to do. The value in the CE is from the physical items, not the digital items.
Space, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space...

Prove me wrong by linking the dev post that states they will add more.
Everyone who claims this has no idea where they heard it.

I don't get why people keep saying 'you shouldn't have expected OP items'. I don't think anyone expected to be able to buy fully modded armour or weapon sets.


What people did expect is some unique armour or weapon skins for each class... since we have a mod system I don't see why that would be a problem. Just give us them empty with full mod slots, it gives us a more unique look but still have to go out and find all the mods like normal. Its not any different then the current orange robes I've been upgrading for like 7 levels now.

I was pretty disappointed when I looked in the CE store, I assumed it can't possibly be complete and I'm expecting more to be added soon. It has one set of Republic armour that is of no use to my class and two customisation kits. I mean there isn't a single kit for a Trooper or Consular companion, there should really be at least one kit for every companion.

If that is all we can ever expect to see on it or all there will be for months... then they really over sold it to people.

Actually, from the advertisement [bolded for your pleasure]:

Quote:
Collector’s Edition Store. At launch the Collector’s Edition Store will be available to those who have the Collector’s Edition of The Old Republic, and will feature items found nowhere else in the game! The Collector’s Edition will be stocked with exclusive social items for yourself, and unique appearances for your companion. The store will also have regular updates to give players incentive to keep coming back.
I assume you are now happy and can stop the whining?

As you probably know "dynamically" means the content in the store will change.
Whether it is new stuff or stuff already in the game doesn't matter.

The thing that matters now is that the displayed items are not the only items you will get.
This could also be seen in the beta when the stores were packed(for bug-testing)...

FWIW: They did not hand out the soundtrack CD on youtube, they posted tracks that were not included on the soundtrack CD.

Second, they said they would be adding new items to the CE vendor over time.

Third, your super-shiny toy that you got with the CE was the malgus statue. Check out other Gentle Giant products and you'll see that you got a good deal.

We knew it'd be fluff items... yes. But not like 7, and the armor is just *** ugly. They could've put more into it, like a Unique set per advanced class.
