Decell Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like the change to encourage subscribers to come back at least for a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothematic Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Good to hear. Just a question, are cartel coin values displayed currently final? Seem to be a few errors floating around. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eillack Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Any chance at a lower mod extraction cost this update? No point to take part in the over emphasis or customizing a look if it costs players too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Any chance at a lower mod extraction cost this update? No point to take part in the over emphasis or customizing a look if it costs players too much. This question made me realize something, the update didnt say anything about the launch of 1.5. And if it did I totally missed it. So sextion X and the new companion is not included on the 15th? The reason it made me think of that is because I believe they've already lowered the extraction cost a little on PTS, or perhaps I'm confusing things there too. It sure felt cheaper when I put my mods in cartel gear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mentalmackem Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Are we getting HK-51 and 1.5 with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutisor Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 they said nothing about 1.5 update.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) they said nothing about 1.5 update.. So it wasnt just me then. I'm worried now because the longer it takes to get the new section, the longer we have to wait for the new warzone.

Rayla_Felana Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 1.5?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOuroborus Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 This is good news. I wish they would designate a SUBSCRIBERS ONLY SERVER though. But hey, if it gets more people in the game, great. Oh, the post didn't mention it, but is this also the full 1.5 update? Doesn't look like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumWalker Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 They are probably going to update it to 1.5 as F2P releases? Anyways, I am so happy, can't wait to use my cartel coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchPB Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Considering that the actual cartel market is in 1.5 most likely, Its not much point giving us cartel coins we cant use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Bluesky Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's Q&A on DarthHater that confirms 15th for 1.5 update together with F2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes extraction costs are lower in 1.5 for subbs , I must admit I saw him ask this question late last night and forgot to answer him sorry. As for the announcement and the new , old subbs can get their complimentary coins if the re-sub by 20th of December is a great addition. Now who at bioware is a member of MMORPG.com , Twitter , facebook and any other social communities get posting this new part of the f2p conversion and I tell you one thing your game will be busy for the rest of the year at least. Great news thanks. Cheers, BadOrb. Edited November 8, 2012 by BadOrb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRichardEW Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hmmmm it say one time grant of the coins. Does this mean that Subs don't get a set amount of coins a month for being subs like every one thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krolme Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! Looks like my friends will be coming back to the game! Can't wait to play with them again and the new update soon, it all looks really great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrica Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hmmmm it say one time grant of the coins.

MOAI Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 November 15 has meaning for old SWG players, the NGE. Rather ironic that f2p is coming on this date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirhd Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 For all the countries? The first post clearly says everywhere SWtOR is available, so yes. I really, really hope this goes well... Seems a bit too early to be releasing it to me, to be honest, but that's not my decision. I just hope F2P goes live with as few problems as possible, otherwise you'll get the wah wah whiners (you know, the ones ranting and raving about getting such-and-such out ""NOW NOW NOW WHY ISN'T IT OUT NOW YOU STINK" etc.) who will then complain about bugs, how it was released too early ("BUT WE WANTED IT NOW OMG"), and so on. I won't even bother mentioning all the MMOs that didn't have nearly as many free content patches in their first year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
