Iwipe Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hey everyone, the next contraband pack to be released (Archon's Contraband Pack) can now be viewed on the PTS via your collections menu. I took some screenshots of the items in case you are not able to view it yourself. Special thanks to Fig'tree of MoX who told me about it. There are no armor or weapons in this new pack but there are 5 new mounts, 6 new pets, some titles/emotes/moods, and encrypted datacubes (not exactly sure what they do at the moment). http://dulfy.net/2013/05/25/swtor-archons-contraband-pack-items-preview/ Enjoy!

Krewel Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ahhhh, re-skins, it warms the cockles of my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Lack of armor in the packs? Might just not been added to collections on pts. Highly unlikely to get so little. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_euclidus Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm dying for the new speeders. Ughhh. Gotta start saving up now. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logisitcs Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Is everyone at Bioware on some company vacation or something? The reskins look nice but they're just that, re-skins of mounts that have been in game since launch -_- Edited May 25, 2013 by Logisitcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Karsk Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Re skins with new names ahahaha . Not one of these old ree skinned speeders and pets will sell for more then 30 k on gtn.Well nice to see them doing very little to profit while not making actual content.

KTap Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Adno Mantis is a new speeder model I think. Shame there's only one color atm, I bet I could guess what's in the cartel pack after Archon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadin Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 FINALLY!! A pack I can skip on since I don't want any of those mounts... I do like the Ebon-Wing and Bomber but that's not enough for the RNG. Thanks as always Dulfy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickers Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 This is a pretty meh pack...Might go for the praxon aero, and maybe the adno mantis, but I'll just wait till one shows up cheap on GTN. Pretty big letdown on these packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 The lack of new armor is a let down since that's what I enjoyed most from these packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Karsk Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Of course while they take the time to re skin and sell the same stuff over and over again they still cant get iconic jedi outfits in the game.Guessing maybe a reason for that is maybe lucasfilm says those unlike everything else in this game is canon and can only be used by jedi, so they wont profit enough for them as only jedi can buy them. Of course in bioware star wars universe jedi knights must pay real money for jedi outfits. Close this down alredy !!

Arclide Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I guess everyone at Bioware is simply preparing tons of previews for the E3 so they do not have time to add much in 2.2. Do you think they will announce a new digital expansion and show us more cartel packs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 My hopes for an Adaptive version of the Aspiring Knight Vest is dashed again Well, don't dash them. There are very few items in the archon's pack which is very unusual. Imo there will be new armor sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're meant to learn more once he has more info Also look at the mysterious datacubes. Why do I think they may contain gear schematics for crafters?!

If they could finally release a traditional Jedi robe with hood down, which I could also dye black -_- eh...
