I have my tokens, came back to SWTOR to buy Shae Vizla, so no not everyone spent their Tokens, I paid real cash to get Shae quickly WEEKS ago and been sitting on my tokens since. A refund would work as well, as that is all I bought the tokens for was instant companion access...

And it STILL has not been addressed. My gosh they really just cant get anything done in a reasonable time frame.

Came back after a while and no force lightning on my Assassin was a major disappointment.

Over a month is really bad for a game like this, not a new MMO here near a decade old and they cant get a bug that import fixed? Many have already spent cartel coins to get companions it seems. Thank you for helping me out, I appreciate it but I am disturbed by the time it takes BioWare to address issues like this.

Bump for the thread, and I agree we need the Black-Silver with a PvE option or a Cartel Coins option

Has no companions, I read that they have been taken down due to a bug. However, when will they return, is there anywhere to catch up on this issue? I have my tokens and went to buy Shae Vizla, only to find out there are no companions. I cant even find on Google or SWTOR site what day the vendors cycles. I understand it is every few weeks, what day? Fridays? Mondays? etc. Rather bummed I wasted Cartel Coins to catch up the tokens, I simply wanted to get Shae and have was cool with getting tokens for it, but now I am lost on when companions will be available for the vendor. If this has been posted I did not see it here.

Yeah, but that example is multiple weapons, as an Assassin in SWTOR I get ONE, not even a choice, just ONE weapon type to use. I mean really they could have made a single lightsaber work the same, really was no need to be so strict on weapon appearances. I am also with you on race / class combos. Why restrict things like this? Why not give the players (who pay for the game) the options to play how they want? If you want to be a Dwarven Druid, Troll Paladin, Night Elf Warlock, Tauren Rogue, why not? I get it. Lucky for me I use a Human DK and Blood Elf Hunter so I am cool with my class / race combo but I support those who have a wish to play how they want, because I know the feeling lol. If I could have a single lightsaber on an Assassin, without the gimp it would cause, I would be quite happy. Even dual wield would be fine. Just not a double lightsaber.

I like to PvP so it is enough of a negative impact to use a single saber. I play LOTRO and no, they weapon restictions for my Guardian and Champion were no where near this. I could dual wield, 2H, use axes, sword, etc. While I understand that this is SWTOR and that we use firearms / lightsabers it is still a matter of cosmetic choices for RP purposes that I find myself unsatisfied. I will play free for a bit, but until I can play with a little bit more freedom I am not going to give up any money lol. I do like the game, just not worth my money if I have to be unhappy with my favored class due to forced weapon type.

I am likely going to return to WoW because of the strict weapon rules. I just came to SWTOR a few days ago, have a Sith Assassin now and a Juggernaut. I really love my Assassin gameplay but I can not stand the fact that I am forced to have a double bladed lightsaber. It drives me nuts that I can not use what I like for a class / spec. This is the only game I have played that has rules like this still. I should at the very least be able to use the outfit / costume system to make the appearance or what I like. Feels to strict for me, and in an MMO freedom of choices is a big deal. This game has it all other than the weapon locks by class / spec. If that was not the case I would have already subbed.

Dang, kind of in a pickle here then lol. I love the theme of Hatred Assassin, yet really dislike the double light saber. I like the Sith Warrior theme, but as a Sith I would long for lightning. Decisions Decisions

I would roll an Assassin but I really dislike the double bladed lightsaber. I have been on the fence about subscribing to the game but I am not used to such restrictions on weapons like this game has so it has me at a stand still right now. All other MMO games I have recently played allow you to kind of play how you like, this one seems to force (pun intended) me to use certain weapons based on spec. Class I can understand, but locked in down to spec is kind of harsh for someone who comes from other games where you can wield what you desire lol. Now, back on subject (I apologize for the rambling above as well, lol) but does a Sith Warrior, either spec, have at least one lightning attack? I am a one character type of guy when it comes to MMOs. Since Sith Assassin is out, and Sorcerer is not my style as I prefer Melee as my main point of DPS, I will be stuck with Warrior class. I am fine with Marauder or Juggernaut. I want to have a good portion of Force powers and melee, but I would really love to have at least one lightning skill as a sith. Thank you for reading and helping out a noob. Much appreciated.

any help appreciated

I have the 7 days sub trial going on, if I enter my CC info and become an active subscriber will I get the level 60 character creation? Will I also get Cartel Coins today or not until I am billed? I know Knights of the Fallen Empire is free to those who sub, I am considered a subscriber but does not level me do the instant 60 creation.

Thats fine with me, as long as I can choose my armor look I am content. Thank You all very much for the help, very much appreciated.

As an Assassin class I can use the outfit tool to change my armor / gear right? I do not have to use the long dress robes do I? That is kind of a bigger factor lol. I wanted my like my characters outfit, something like Revan Reborn outfit I saw on Google.
