attackgypsy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, its true. I'm d/l'ing it now. Its a big download, so expect it to take a while. Lots of changes. Check the PTS patch notes for specifics. But it looks interesting, even if my Marauder lost a high damage attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to download it onto my SSD, but says there isn't enough room. My SSD has got around 9GB of space left, and I doubt one planet is bigger than that.

DarkDisturbed Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The 2.0 patch alone for me was only 2.25 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen_Starsolo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Notes I saw seem like the new powers are defensive. I guess we can't do the spinning strikes unless that's a skill tree power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idejon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's like 11.6GB if I remember correctly The PTS client is a separate client from live an as such you must redo enclosed the entire game. If you have never used the PTS before this takes quite a while as the main client is 11 GB without all the patches. As someone else has mentioned, the current 2.0 patch will only be 2.5 gb if you have already downloaded the PtS for a previous test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banegio Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) 2.0 =/= expansion The update when 2.0 come will bring along the expansion. What on the patch notes atm are all available without the "expansion". Level55, operation, lv55 hm fps, abilities. Looks like the expansion will just include a new planet, like restriction to Section X. Maybe a flashpoint.

BobaTheElite Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 As much as I already expected it, I was hoping for a real expansion. The fact that we'll be doing the same FP's and mostly the same Ops as we did at 50 just puts the nail in the coffin for me. I know it's a $20 expansion, but wouldn't it have been more beneficial to create a $40 expansion that could bring the game back to life? I guess this is truly just another f2p. Hope you all enjoy the xpac though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a flashpoint. I believe this is at least partially incorrect as the expansion explicitly raises the level cap to 55. The PTS does not have Makeb in it to presumably protect the story while allowing us to test the skill changes and other system changes. It is important to note that Makeb is the designated way to hit 55 (although it could be done another way). Currently on the PTS there is an auto level function to hit 55 which will not be live.

MaximusRex Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 "Tumult has been removed from the game." Yeah... did anyone ever use that? Aside from ***** and giggles? Also: another HM LI nerf (why? why?). I suspect the HM Lost Island nerfs are because it will be level 50 content, with the new cap being 55, they probably want to group it with the other level 50 HM flashpoints. These nerfs would bring it in line with the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the impressive given to us when they advertised the expansion. But I no longer think that is the case now after reading the news update from the dev. It is up for interpretation but lv55 for all make sense from implementation and pvp balancing pov. Game Update 2.0 will be available for all players when it is released (Free-to-Play restrictions will still apply). The Rise of the Hutt Cartel digital expansion (which contains the planet-based story content and more) will have a separate, closed beta process which will not appear on the Public Test Server.

Aside from ***** and giggles? ...But I liked using Tumult for giggles. My sage wears Hoth social gear and uses a vibrosword so she looks like a barbarian, and that roundhouse kick looked so awesome every time she did it. I mean, sure, she didn't use it in operations or anything, but it was still nice to be able to do as a RP thing. This makes me sad. I wonder why they've taken away the attack that every class can use again vulnerable targets of strong and below...

The update page says "The level cap increase to 55 is included with the purchase of the Digital Expansion: Rise of the Hutt Cartel." so, it sounds like we don't get the level cap increase and all that comes with it (abilities, the new Ops or FPs) unless we buy the expansion... Unless someone from EA or Bioware says differently, that's the impression that I'm getting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Because it was useless. (other than for ***** and giggles) But then why take it away? Seems not to be for balance reasons if it was "useless." It looked sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen_Starsolo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 "Game Update 2.0 will be available for all players when it is released (Free-to-Play restrictions will still apply). " Just what I read. But subs that do not buy RotHC still get what you said as "glad I preordered". Your preorder is not what is on PTS. Every sub gets what's there.
