Are androids and Iphones declared as "required" for playing this game?

.....And those are not droids I'm looking for....

But could you be so kind to let ME decide what I need and what I need not? Thanx.

It won't change any of given facts, anyway. Main of which is that one of answers given as a part of last Q&A was very...incorrect. In many ways, even leaving aside their screwed marketing in my region. For the rest of the EU this answer just means "if you don't have those phones - pay us 13€ more to get "easily available fleet travel passes".

What people are trying to make clear to you, OP, is that you don't need the security key to be able to play the game while your posts seem to insist the game is a useless program taking up space on your hard-drive without it.

you already have instant travel points that take you to the docks that have a 30 min reset. jump to the station, get on your ship (or take the available shuttle) and there you go.

i do not have a phone that can run apps, and i do not have a physical key. i see no reason to get either. so, no, not required.

Then why would it be a draw on the security vendor if it didn't make the travel system better?

It's only something that encourages people to get security keys IF the travel system could use it (a 1 hour Fleet Pass) in general.

So either the travel system is "fine" and therefore the Fleet Pass in no draw to the security vendor and it may as well be moved off it (yeah and I have a bridge to sell anyone that believes that one )

Or it is a draw, precisely because the travel system is a pain without it.






(don't get me wrong, I'd much rather they fixed SWTOR's travel system to make the Fleet Pass pointless - but that doesn't seem to be their intention atm)

Did someone steal your ship? Fly to the friggin fleet ffs. A shorter cooldown fleet pass is not a needed game item in any way shape or form. I swear reading some posts on here this game should just be a bunch of buttons asking what you want. Insta lev.50 - click here. 10 mill. credits - click here. Browse titles - click here. Lazy group here for sure are the biggest whiners.

You seem to think that this is a requirement to play the game, and it isn't.

This is called an "incentive". Bioware wants to encourage people to keep their accounts secure by using the added encryption key and so they give EXTRA perks to people who do.

If you can't get an authenticator then YOU aren't Bioware's target audience. When you can get one, then you will be able to chose whether or not to get and use one. If you chose to do so, you get the incentive perks.

Those perks are not game changing, nor are they required. You seem to be taking personally what is intended only to encourage those who are able to get and use authenticators. You aren't being forced to do anything and not one of those perks will make your game more enjoyable for having them or less enjoyable for not having them.

What's amazing is this was never an issue for the 2 months the game has been out, but it's mentioned on the Q&A and now people are ZOMG.

Options were given in this thread to get if for free, yet this thread still carries on.

Amazing...

Threads about how bad the travel system is in SWTOR have been around constantly since Beta.

It makes getting to fleet faster, that's it (just like the Emergency Fleet Pass), but that doesn't actually make the travel system better.

Logical fallacy. Or maybe people just don't want to take more than 6-10 seconds to get to the Fleet from where ever they are. I'm going with option three.

It makes it at least 50% better.

If taking less time and stages to get their is an improvement (which you seem to agree it is) then what I've said stands.

If they fix the travel system then the Fleet Pass won't be much of an issue, but then equally it won't be much of a draw to get a security key either.
