you assumed. bought blindly. and now want to cry that it wasn't what you thought it was...when if you took 5 seconds to READ the description...y'know..like any intelligent buyer would have done...you would have seen it wasn't what you ASSUMED it was.

I've accidently bought things both from CM, and from GTN...that I wasn't able to then use because -I- didn't read the description fully (armor pieces for a companion that I didn't read was "trooper" (or whatever) only)...I knew it was MY fault and I didn't come to the forums crying to Bio and calling something a scam because I was the idiot that didn't read the damn thing.

your fault. no one elses. no reason for this thread in any means.

EA/Biofail called, they wanna make sure their loyal dogs in the "Bioware Defence Force" ([BDF for short], will wear the Strawberry Chapstick the next time they get that itch on their backside, plus they like the texture of those glazed lips. All seriousness, you people are pathetic in defending a company that makes this kinda crap a habit, and its individuals like you defending them that allows them to get away with it. I mean a 10 second portable chair after the RP community has been asking for chairs for over a year? If that is not blatent trolling, I dont know what is!

Simple solution is to make all chairs and seats function on player ships. This boils down to our ships and the very bland and non interactive designs they have refused to work on to make it our homes. a good start is to make them all work on ships! To hell with the rest of the game chairs and seats.. It's too large of an undertaking to make every seat functional. but again cartel market items will from now and until the end be what they will focus on.

It's such a shame that all these rest abilities only last such a short time which makes it unusable for roleplaying. The fix for this would be simple - just change them to toggle abilities or increase the maximum channel time before they automatically stop to a very long time, like 15 minutes or so.

I've written a detailed proposal over in the suggestion forum:

Then finally when I saw the portable chair, I thought prehaps for once we were being listened to, but AGAIN I was wrong. I made the mistake of buying a few of the new packs to get the chair, and to my pleasure I did in the third pack, only to be extreamly let down when it turned out to be a 10 second animation/regeneration item like the Carbonite/Bacta tank item. So folks, if you were like me and thought we were getting what we asked for, then don't bother, these are not the droids that your looking for..
The game doesn't even have night and day why does this shock you that they don't have chairs to sit in?

dude..take 5 seconds to look at my post history and you'll see I'm anything but a "Bioware Defence Force"..whatever you're calling it. more like the polar opposite

but what did I expect from this type of mentality?

Just because I stated the truth.....and that truth happens to be on BioWare's side (for once)..in no way means I'm defending them in any shape or form.

get a new act.

but thanks for playing

Can't have night and day when you're traveling between worlds with vastly different solar rotations.

The chair is another replacement for the class regen animation. I like this, personally. It means that you can customise the animation your character uses during regen. My favourite has to be the Kolto tank though.

You can easily have day and light. All that have to do is give each world it's own day and night cycle that runs independantly to the real world and other worlds.

Not sure how Tatooine would work though... Hmm...

Makes this kinda crap a habit? Don't get me wrong they (meaning Bioware) make plenty of mistakes and bad calls but what exactly here did they do? They added an item in a pack that has a near identical description, and by near identical I mean the only difference being a descriptive modifier that describes what you are doing such as sitting or frozen or submerged etc. while in the chair/Carbonite chamber/Kolto tank respectively. So what's the habit? Adding an item and having people not have the wherewithal to read the description first so they go pear shaped because what they assumed was wrong. That isn't Biowares fault. That is the fault of the dink who assumed it to be something it was never advertised as.

Right, but the drama queens in here seem to think that even though its description is nearly identical to the other regen items like the Kolto tank and Carbonite chamber with the only difference being 1 or 2 words replaced to describe what you are doing respectively such as sitting in the chair instead of frozen in Carbonite, that this chair was somehow marketed by Bioware as something completely different. People like the OP presumed it was something different without reading and because of their lack of due diligence and lack of critical thinking skills feel it warrants blaming everyone else and making claims of being scammed by Bioware.
