So much for not charging subs for Makeb

How big is this planet then? Do we know how many operations, flashpoints, or if something new pvp-wise is being added?

At this moment- unless you have access to something the rest of us don't- I don't see why this won't have new items, abilities, dungeons and raids- simply put, you and others are whining that BW lied to you about selling content updates- but you yourself are straight out lying about what content will be in this expansion because you do not know.

Also- you're comparing this expansion to expansions that cost, what, 50 bucks or so? Maybe you would prefer they wait until they have 50 bucks worth of content to shove in your face all at once- but some of us would rather pay 10 bucks five times and get the content piece by piece to enjoy slowly.

Only $10??
I'll take it and run!!
You can't beat it with a new level cap .
If you're that bent on spending $10 then maybe you need to find a 2nd job?
Hell I spend $10 at for a meal at Mcdonalds lol

"What (if anything) will subscribers have to pay for after F2P launches?

I wish I had a solid answer for you on that. We’re still in discussion about some of the larger content updates that we’re planning. Great example is the planet Makeb. We’ve talked about Makeb, we have a lot of plans around Makeb. I wish I could give you more details, but I can tell you that I think the playerbase is going to be really, really pleased. More story content. New and interesting things for the players to do. More systems and interesting functions in the game … I can’t go into a lot of detail, but around things like that … This is a pretty big piece (of content). It is probably all that I can say. It is definitely still for discussion whether we sell that to the subscriber or the subscriber gets that for free because it is a big beefy chunk of content."

You can shut up now. :3

We were sure it would be free.......... up until they said they "might" charge for it.



Name ONE thing I've been wrong about.

They've told us how big it will be, what will be in it and what won't be, there's not too much more to know.

Now that I think about it.

Given how DCUO sells new power packs, duo's and operation type content as digital expansions for $10.

This deal for SWTOR could be even better given what other things might be in the digital expansion. Guess time will tell though.

Oh right so you didnt have loot drops from the Halloween event with the only way to access the loot being to pay real world cash for keys via the in game store? Thought so

Driz

You are kinda right and kinda wrong.

Yes you pay for a wow expansion, HOWEVER your 'subscriptioin' is merely your key to long in and play. Nothing more. WoW doesn't Dress up the level increase, with the ammount of content Blizzard add per expansion you would expect more levels. What blizzard do, is Design everything first, then decide on how many levels to put in. Naturally its 10. but they want to continue expanding the game and dropped it to 5 with a much larger EXP requirement to level. so you get those '10' levels worth of content anyways.

BW is doing exactly what you stated. Charging us for questing and a level increase.. which is no way an expansion. + subbers do continue to pay $15, just like wow, for their Key, Only difference is the F2P aspect in which you now pay $15 for everything unlocked. Before the F2P it was no different to wow. So you are still paying for you sub and BW still charges you for the expansion. Just like WoW, only you are getting a simple planet unlock.

I think this is more the case. When brought before any court they can basicly say: We did not sell the expansion, we sold the expansion with early access through this cash only avenue. The product we sell on the Cartel Store is a different product as it does not have that early access.

So yeah.. not a strong case if that is the way the law works.

Free is free.



I think it would fall under misleading advertising and selling, it should at the very least be in the small print somewhere (I haven't seen it).

Considering the state of this game now. I'm not pre-ordering this, I will use the expansion to retire and if my guildies give me the ok that it is worth a damn I'll pay the $20 and come back.

Since pvp balance is messed up and every JK/SW goes smash spec for instant win, as well as sages/sorcs going bubble stun spec.

And new content is just making harder versions of old content. I don't have much reason to have faith that an expansion is gonna be what I am looking for.
