Vhaegrant Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 http://www.swtor.com/blog/dark-vs.-light-event-and-rewards-blog Force-Bound Dark vs. Light Packs These packs are “best of” packs that are themed around the dark and light sides. Each pack contains two slots. One slot is a “best of” Dark vs. Light item, and the other slot will contain either a Companion Gift or an Experience Boost. Below are just a few examples of what items can be found in the pack: •Tulak Hord’s Armor Set •Satele Shan’s Armor Set •Revan Reborn’s Armor Set •Black/Black and White/White Dye •MSM J-37 Jetpack •Volatile Conqueror’s Lightsaber •Cathar Honor Sword •Unstable Arbiter’s Lightsaber •Two new Weapon Tunings, Dark-attuned and Light-attuned •And more! A few extra details on the packs -the armor sets come in three separate boxes, Upper Body, Lower Body, and Supplementary. Each item that you earn from a Force-Bound Dark vs. Light Pack is Bind on Pickup, so they cannot be sold. However, these items do unlock in collections similar to other pack items. So for a player that's already spent a small fortune securing Tulak Hord's Set, Satele Shan's Set, Revan Reborn's Set and the Light sabers exactly why should they be enthusiastic about getting Bind on Pickup non salable junk? Why can't you do away with the gambling packs and maybe set up a vendor with the items. Give a certain number of tokens to spend at the vendor to get what I might actually want. Given that it's a one shot deal. By my count 55 crates by the time you unlock Eternal (85 if you go crazy and unlock Legendary), so scale it for the same number of tokens and price the items on the vendor accordingly. If you are going to make players replay old content the very least you could do is allow them to choose the rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerSchneider Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wanted to ask: Why the HELL do I need black-black dye on a random character which I made specifically for the event??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvancedNoob Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I don't actually mind the items themselves being BoP but I think it would be best if the packs are BoL so we can send those to our main toons rather than be forced to unlock the items again through collections.

Vhaegrant Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wanted to ask: Why the HELL do I need black-black dye on a random character which I made specifically for the event??? At least with dyes there's the faint chance of a legacy bound chest piece you might want to use. And there are legacy weapons to move the tunings about. But the random gambling packs when limited are a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caelrie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 And there are legacy weapons to move the tunings about. Holy crap did I just realize I had a long blonde moment. I completely forgot that I could move tunings that way, and instead spent 160 million credits for 5 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, this is BW we're talking about. *goes back to sulking and leveling her characters who won't be able to participate anyway* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not actually had a weapon tuning, I just guessed that at least one legacy weapon would be upgraded to have the slot available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tummiswtor Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 They deserve it. They deserve special decoration statue with their face for giving them $, instead of that, they got slap, or even brutal punch in face:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see situations where a player gets the item they want but on the character that's running the repeated content and not the character they want. Never mind you can always spend 480 cartel coins to unlock it in the collections. Or better yet have the 55 crates on one character and get 5 Cathar honour swords... :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevaeh-Heaven Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Some things there I done have, and some there I do. Over all I think its OK. Any toons I do make I will keep so none of this stuff would be wasted. Any item I had unlocked in collection, well not lost anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RameiArashi Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Who says the items are BOP? That make makes no sense. An event trooper would have no use for Cathar Warsword for example. They need to be legacy bound so you can pass items to character that can actually use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
