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

Have you tried it ? Does it work with the emulator or does it lock your account ?

Why would they have been discussing it if it wasn't an improvement?

I agree IF you have the Fleet Pass the need for quick travel to your ship is reduced, but the fact is everyone doesn't have access to it.



No, it's pretty easy to secure yourself to the point where the only likelihood of someone "hacking" your account is brute force (which shouldn't work anyway).

Security keys help those that don't have that security, but they are in no way needed for someone that actually practices decent security in the first place. All they bring in that situation is an extra layer of time and some potential problems.

If a 1 hour Fleet Pass is a carrot on a stick, then the travel system itself is the whip.

You can rant all you want, but that still doesn't defeat a reasoned argument.

I have the security key, haven't bought the 1 hour passes, have only used the 18hr fleet pass maybe 5 times. Don't see how the 1 hour pass is a need.

1. Google Ebay
2. Find SWTOR Authenticator on Ebay
3. Paypal your purchase
4. Receive authenticator
5. Buy Fleet Pass from vendor in game
6. Travel to fleet!

7. ... realize you only really wanted it because you couldnt get it and its not a game changer in any way.

I have missed some of the posts but, have read many. Here are few points since my last post.

1. It's not directly once per 18hrs vs once per hour. There is an in-game expense involved and a number available fleet shuttles that are pretty accessible from many areas via taxis and quick travel points.
2. Are there actaully areas that don't offer the key fob but, the game is "officially" offered there? I saw Denmark brough up which is EU but, I thought did offer the fobs and the OP was from Russia where I have seen that the fobs are not offered but, haven't seen the country listed anywhere as officially supported by name.
3. Doesn't it seem like it is the retailer/distrubutor that is more to blame in the case of the OP? Just because the game can be bought in a store, does not mean the manufacturer/developer officially supports where it is finally sold or used.
4. There is an emulator option.

It's a regrettable situation for the OP but, I don't see where BW is really at blame for partially serving a region it does not really or offically support. I know wea re in a rush to play but, sometimes we are better off waiting for true releases in our areas or being aware of the likely pitfalls we choose to face.

You forgot,

8. Stumble to find another "injustice" to whine about on the forums.

You mentioned BW said: ,,It's not working well."

The quote mentioned they are looking into an alternative mode of transport. Nowhere do they talk about the quality of the travel system nor do they call it an improvement.

/facepalm (x10)

Would this link serve you as a proof that my country IS supposed to be OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED? http://www.swtor.com/info/faq#171064

It's right between Portugal and Spain, you know. And Denmark, which was mentioned by other player also on a list. There are no additional references about limited support and\or extra charges.

No, they are just a carrot - you can easily live without vegetables!
