Woot, great news! :eek:

I didn't really plan on playing during the holidays, but now I need to make sure I've got internet to at least log in and check out the CM. That's about all my laptop can handle... :D

For anyone wondering, 11am CT is 5pm GMT, so 5 hours after server reset. Next sale starting in 21 hours, let's start building the hype train!

 

Edit: As written on page 2, this sale is all about bringing back the old packs/hypercrates. Here's the full e-mail: http://ebm.em.ea.com/c/tag/hBUkfzkB7uvlmB8$UukNslQCT3y/doc.html

Somewhere I hear an inquisitor saying, "Show me where the fun is".

we will also be posting here and on social media the items going on the Market that day.

Courtney, can you clarify something here?: In the past, CM flash sales have only included items that were already available for CM purchase plus the occasional 'embargoed' item coming back. But the phrasing 'the items going on the Market' makes it sound like some items may be going up for sale that aren't normally present there.

 

Is that just for the sake of including things like embargoed and normally Event-specific items (like Golden Scalene armor), or as some people seem to be assuming, will some of these sales be items that were never previously 'on the Market' (i.e. items normally in the Packs).

Haha, looks like Marketing did not get the memo. Way to ruin a surprise sale...

I was hoping that we'd get sweet deals on some direct-sale items, but I have no interest in any old hypercrates. Never having taken a break from SWTOR longer than a week, I have all items from previous packs that interest me, so I'm going to skip on this unless there'll be some other deals.

But still have fun to anyone still looking for those hypercrates! There are definitely more than 12 Hypercrates in-game, so they won't be bringing back all of them. The image in the e-mail only shows 7 icons. I haven't had time yet to figure out which packs they show, but we'll still need to find out about the other 5.

 

Here's the full e-mail in case anyone did not get it: http://ebm.em.ea.com/c/tag/hBUkfzkB7uvlmB8$UukNslQCT3y/doc.html

Okay, found some additional information. :D

http://instagram.com/p/wuW17rgyPg/

Peep it! Cartel Packs for 250CC (or less!) And Hypercrates for 5400CC (or less) December 19 - 29. There will be two different packs on sale per day (except Dec. 24, 25, 26)! #swtor #theoldrepublic #biowareaustin #mmo #cartelmarket

which is a screenshot of the events page:

CARTEL MARKET DAILY DEALS: DAILY DISCOUNTS ON CARTEL PACKS AND HYPERCRATES EACH DAY FROM DEC. 18 - 29.

LEVEL: Varies by item

 

Celebrate Life Day with 250CC (or less) Cartel Packs and 5,400CC (or less) Hypercrates! Different packs will be on sale each day from December 18th to December 29th!

 

For Daily Deal details, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter!

 

Already, there is a ton of misinformation... :rolleyes:

E-mail says 5,500 CC, in-game events page says 5,400 CC. E-mail says December 18-29, Instagram says 19-29. Looks like this deal was put together at the last minute or something.

 

It looks like there will be a total of 2 * 12 - 3 = 21 packs on sale. There are a total of 29 packs in-game, of which 5 are still available. Which leaves 24 packs that could come up during the sale. So my guess is that all of the packs except for the Nightlife packs and some other pack will be part of the sale. The only question is in which order they'll come...

Alright, I identified all seven of the packs they showed in the images (1 / 2). From front to back, they are:

  • N.1 Star Cluster’s Nightlife Pack
  • 1.1 Black Market Cartel Pack
  • 1.4 Skip Tracer’s Cartel Pack
  • 5.1 Builder’s Stronghold Pack
  • 2.3 Vice Commandant’s Contraband Pack
  • 3.1 Freelancer’s Bounty Pack
  • 4.1 Wingman’s Starfighter Pack

So I guess they will bring out the packs from oldest to newest, but it's hard to know for sure. Also, it's interesting that the Nightlife Pack is on the list, since in my previous post I assumed it can't be part of the sale if they want to sell only 21 packs. So in that case, two other packs will be missing.

 

To recap, here's a list of the 21 sales:

  • December 18th: Unknown 1 and Unknown 2
  • December 19th: Unknown 3 and Unknown 4
  • December 20th: Unknown 5 and Unknown 6
  • December 21th: Unknown 7 and Unknown 8
  • December 22th: Unknown 9 and Unknown 10
  • December 23th: Unknown 11 and Unknown 12
  • December 24th: Unknown 13
  • December 25th: Unknown 14
  • December 26th: Unknown 15
  • December 27th: Unknown 16 and Unknown 17
  • December 28th: Unknown 18 and Unknown 19
  • December 29th: Unknown 20 and Unknown 21

 

And here's a list of the 24 packs that could come up during the sale:

  1. Black Market Cartel Pack
  2. Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack
  3. Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack
  4. Skip Tracer’s Cartel Pack
  5. Space Pirate’s Cartel Pack
  6. Enforcer’s Contraband Pack
  7. Regulator Contraband Pack
  8. Vice Commandant’s Contraband Pack
  9. Archon’s Contraband Pack
  10. Supreme Mogul’s Contraband Pack
  11. Freelancer’s Bounty Pack
  12. Contractor’s Bounty Pack
  13. Pursuer’s Bounty Pack
  14. Tracker’s Bounty Pack
  15. Opportunist’s Bounty Pack
  16. Wingman’s Starfighter Pack
  17. Dogfighter Starfighter Pack
  18. Galactic Ace’s Starfighter Pack
  19. Space Jockey’s Starfighter Pack
  20. Hotshot’s Starfighter Pack
  21. Star Cluster’s Nightlife Pack
  22. Club Vertica Nightlife Pack
  23. Builder’s Stronghold Pack
  24. Gatekeeper Stronghold Pack

 

 

Feel free to mix and match to find the best fit. :D

Okay, I've got another theory on how the sale works. If we include the five packs that are already available, we have a total of 29 packs. The first pack of each shipment is for the most part identical to the second pack of the shipment, so maybe the first packs will be not part of the sale. In that case, we are left with 23 packs. If we also take away the two Nightlife packs, we land at 21 packs, which would fit the sale perfectly. Under that theory, the following packs will be part of the sale:

  1. Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack
  2. Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack
  3. Skip Tracer’s Cartel Pack
  4. Space Pirate’s Cartel Pack
  5. Regulator Contraband Pack
  6. Vice Commandant’s Contraband Pack
  7. Archon’s Contraband Pack
  8. Supreme Mogul’s Contraband Pack
  9. Contractor’s Bounty Pack
  10. Pursuer’s Bounty Pack
  11. Tracker’s Bounty Pack
  12. Opportunist’s Bounty Pack
  13. Dogfighter Starfighter Pack
  14. Galactic Ace’s Starfighter Pack
  15. Space Jockey’s Starfighter Pack
  16. Hotshot’s Starfighter Pack
  17. Gatekeeper Stronghold Pack
  18. Constable’s Stronghold Pack
  19. Seneschal’s Stronghold Pack
  20. Architect’s Stronghold Pack
  21. Pilgrim's Shadow Pack

However, it wouldn't make sense why the nightlife pack is shown as the front image, if the nightlife packs are not part of the sale (false advertisement etc.) Hm, anyone have a better idea?

Anyway, off to bed, 16 hours until the sale starts. HYPE HYPE :rak_03:
