Very disappointed in Digital Deluxe items. Not as Advertised.

deluxe and ce items in any mmo have always been vanity items, they aren't meant to give you an advantage in the game. if you thought otherwise, you misread the information and brought in your own assumptions and expectations.

Wish never bought CE, not worth it. All the items given ingame is total garbage.

Only things that are cool is the speeder and the mod gear, but hey it does not scale so it only really saves you some credits and that is about it. If the speeder was scalable and the mod system/gear wasn't so unpolished + buggy: might be worth the 190 bucks I paid for it.

Yea the training droid is total false advertising. Plus the holo camera? LOL! Just zoom in to first person, hit button combo to remove UI, bam! Same thing, but better control.

For those w/o CE access to the upper area; DON'T even bother paying 1.5 mill; nothing up there even worth the cost. You can buy a same lookin speeder else where.

I disagree. I think the staue is very cool, the artbook and the music cd are nice also. Tell me where else you can legally get the music? I do think the DDE is more of a dissapointment though, that I agree with.

With the CE, you gut tangilble stuff plus some somewhat useful stuff in the game.

This. Deal with it.

What were you expecting the training droid to do? Act as a second companion and add dps to the fights?

That'd be pure pay to win, and everyone would need one just to compete.

Firstly: I love SWtOR. I am enjoying the game thoroughly with friends.

I am however very very disappointed in the digital deluxe items. Specifically: The training droid is -not- as advertised. In the comparison chart here http://buy.swtor.com/us/ you can see and click on the training droid question button. The training droid is listed as a virtual pet that will hover at your side to assist in combat. Instead we got a silly item that does NOT act as a pet and can just be used to float around an enemy. The training droid is nigh on useless this way. Enemies die so fast whats the point? Please please reconsider this Bioware and give us our training droid as the virtual pet it was promised as.

Also the STAP transport is disappointing too. The STAP has gorgeous artwork and is an awesome transport but becomes useless very quickly as it is only a 90% mount. Between the pre-order color crystal and the STAP our big ticket items are useless by level 20 and 40, its very very disappointing. Please consider making the STAP scale with our riding level. (Would also have loved to see color crystals be just that.. color crystals, not stat crystals)

And the color crystal... is even more useless than it was rendered when it became a stat stone. With the item modification system now most items you receive in low levels cannot have their color crystal changed.. by the time you get to use your fancy pre-order color crystal it is nearly obsolete. Please consider at least letting all weapons have a color crystal mod slot... even greens.


Again, I love SWTOR. I know a lot of people (especially CE buyers) Will think that the extra 20 dollars spent on the digital deluxe is nothing.. but I also know there are a LOT of people to whom 20 dollars is a lot... we'd really like our 20 dollars worth and at the very least get the items we were promised (i.e the training droid virtual pet)

As a little side note: Did not want the full collector's edition. Nice as it is it was very expensive for a lot of real life items we have nowhere to stash.. BUT would have loved if the Digital Deluxe choice had come with the option to purchase the digital in game store access. I am really sad to get to the VIP lounge and find CE people have a cool in game store but DD people have nothing but a couple benches.... please give us a chance to pay 5 or 8 dollars or something for access to the cool virtual items.
