NSStember Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Would like to see a pack to reset your character look (other MMOs do this), basically taking you back to the character generation screen (after you pick your race/gender). Would be nice to be able to add a beard, change some scars, put on some weight (or take it off), or just change the look all-to-gether. This would seem to be a cash shop natural.

MetalGenocide Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I may finally get a decent hooded cloak for my Sith Marauder. Still no decent hat for my beloved Vette though I want her to have the Smuggler sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, I wholeheartedly agree, people who start playing the free version will quickly either sub up or give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroPlus Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 One of my friends, who is planning on trying out the game when it goes F2P, just asked me about the character slots limit. As far as I can determine the currently available information states: - F2P gets 2 character slots. - Subscribers get 10 more slots (for a total of 12. The current amount we all have.) My friend currently plays LOTRO where he also started out with 2 character slots as F2P, but over the years he was able to purchase additional character slots. As far as I can tell, there is currenlty no unlock on the Cartel Market to purchase additional character slots. My questions: - Is there currently a "Character Slot" unlock opton on the Cartel Market (and I just missed it)? - If the answer to the above is "no", could someone from the BioWare team let me (and others I'm sure) know if there are plans to introduce a "Character Slot" unlock at a future point (even if only to the current 12 character slot limit) or will the only way to have more than 2 character slots be to subscribe? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Radan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I dont have acess to the PTS and was wondering if there is a filter for subscribers and also wanted to know if subscribers can choose specific items from the cartel packs becuase making subcribers pay for random junk that they might have is just annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthvisari Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 For thoose who play free to play, I think they should be able to buy unlimited warzone matches for a week or something, because three warzone matches was a true kick to the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthvisari Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It´s really cool that u can buy additional warzone matches really good, but I really don't like that as a FTP only have ine quickbar, that just seems greedy to me. So before u release this make sure that u can have more than one quickbar as a FTP player, at lvl 50 u can not use just one quickbar, also u can buy new races, would be cool, but paying players will get acces to new races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyakatonryu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 If Bioware reads this: Please add level 50 armor... theres level 15, 31, 35, and 43 but nothing for level 50 players... Create a tab in the cartel market that only players with a subsrciption can access... ( for example headgear, weapons, emotes, and things that are in the packs... out of the packs) And if you would be so nice... reduce the coin cost for things in the market for subscribers ( A LITTLE BIT ) Please !!!!

Vespassian Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Not on the PTS but from what I've seen posted in screenshots and write-ups (thanks to all who took the time to do so) I'm actually quite pleased with what I'm seeing for Free2Play. They really are holding true to their promise: they are ONLY providing convenience items in the Cartel Market. Take a good look: No planet mission packs!That means that the GAME is really ALL there for Free: class quests, planet quests, heroics, bonus series, even Flash Points (full rewards only for the 1st 3, but you can keep playing them). Everything is accessible and playable.[*]Everything else is convenience. You want more than 1 quickslot bar? Unlock them or subscribe. (Take a good hard look at your abilities. You only really need one bar for the abilities that you normally use. The other 3 bars are filled with "occassional"/"situational" abilities. Those bars are there for "convenience".)You want to hide your helmet? Unlock the option or subscribe.You want to color match your gear? Unlock the option or subsctribe.Enjoying the PvP and want to play more than just 3 games? Unlock the option or subscribe. (NOTE: LOTRO has been F2P for years and they only recently unlocked PvP for F2P. SWTOR is doing it from day 1.)Etc., etc., etc... For those who currently subscribe and thought they could unsubscribe and still get everyhting they have now for nothing, think about this: if you unsubscribed and your paid time ran out *today* would you be able to play tomorrow? The answer is "no". But when F2P goes live you will be able to play. Not only that, but the way this is setup, you will be getting a whole game for nothing. Albeit with restrictions to your "convenience". If those conveniences are important to you either subscribe again or unlock them. Your choice. I'm really happy with what I've seen so far. They really are delivering on what they promised. I wouldn't want to subscribe just to get a decent experience in any Star Wars game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens on the PTS stays on the PTS! (In other words, the Cartel Coins you have/had on the PTS were for testing on the PTS. When F2P goes live you will still have the Cartel Coins you are supposed to have (and any that you had on the PTS will not transfer over to the live environment).)
