Akushii Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It's almost Black Friday and there hasn't been any announcement or information on what's coming this Black Friday for the game. Are we getting any sales or discounts? Are we getting the collection unlock 50% off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvalie Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I want to know this too. I've been waiting for the collection unlock sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think often enough the 50% sale starts on the ("Cyber") Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvalie Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 That's still less than a week away. You'd think they would have announced something by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nether_Pantera Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Previous year Black Friday was at 27th November, i hope tomorrow they will release it, but no announcements so far. SWTOR's support is quiet, no comments. Edited November 26, 2021 by Nether_Pantera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gericke Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It's not like they have to do anything. This annual fixation on "bargains" (which in truth are often far from the lowest price they have been in the previous six months) is harmful for everyone and drives the wrong attitudes.

Ruvalie Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 It's very disappointing. I have a bunch of stuff needing to be unlocked. It's not like they have to do anything. This annual fixation on "bargains" (which in truth are often far from the lowest price they have been in the previous six months) is harmful for everyone and drives the wrong attitudes. Uh, what? When have collection unlocks been more than 50% off in the past six months? Never mind, I know the answer: they haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to but... they did last year. I wasn't playing the year before but I got the feeling it wasn't the first time. Hence... disappointing.

MystyqeofXev Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Let's put it this way, I see more advertisements for 3rd party website sales, than I do EA / SWTOR. Shameful. "10th anniversary! Big plans!" Riiiight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergnaut Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 This is extremely disappointing. Yeah these no pandemic or anything. Its not like the devs are working from Home. Yeah your right they are just slacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvalie Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Yeah these no pandemic or anything. Its not like the devs are working from Home. Yeah your right they are just slacking They gave us a 50% unlock sale last year when there was also a pandemic. Somehow I doubt changing prices requires intensive programming.

I hope you're right and they have it next week, but it doesn't seem likely at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Thanksgiving snuck up on them. JFC stop making excuses for poor effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Here we are in the middle of climate change caused by humans dumping CO2 into the atmosphere, (plus a pandemic) and all people can think of is what useless junk they can buy on yet another corporate "sales" event. I see no hope for the future. 😥 Edited November 26, 2021 by JediQuaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCornelius Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 SWTOR has always had a 50% off collection unlocks event on black friday. It's sad to see with the celebratory 10th anniversary that they did not have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estelindis Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 My experience is that this sale is usually not announced in advance. I expect it to happen on Monday. But if not then, maybe they're delaying it for the expansion launch. I vaguely recall that they had a 50% unlock sale for the last expansion launch, and this is replaced the usual sale (though my memory is open to correction).

MystyqeofXev Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Nothing breeds anticipation, or the promise of a ton of customers (players) logging on to spend RL money on CC's so they can buy stuff off the CM, like NOT TALKING ABOUT OR PROMOTING THE EVENT.

ceryxp Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Not going to quote anyone, but you would be wrong about them not doing anything on Black Friday (because it is for physical sales) or about announcing it in advance. Posted on 20 November 2020. Hello everyone! As I mentioned earlier this month, there will be a second Cartel Market sale starting next week. - 50% off Weapon Tunings - 50% off Color Crystals - 50% off Collection Unlocks These sales will start at 7:00 AM CST (1:00 PM UTC) on November 27th and last until December 4th at 7:00 PM CST (December 5th at 1:00 AM UTC). 27 November 2020 was Black Friday. Now, it is entirely possible that they plan to do something big for the anniversary, but they have also set the precedent of announcing sales in advance. Posted 29 April 2020 Hey everyone! As we've done with larger sales in the past, we wanted to give you a heads up on the next Collection Unlock sale. From May 4th - 18th, all Collection Unlocks will be 50% off. The start and end time for this sale is 7:00am CDT / 12:00pm UTC. If they had no plans to do anything for Black Friday, when Black Friday sales have been an annual event for several years, then they could have avoided all this confusion by simply announcing that fact. Unfortunately, communication has never been BioWare's strength and, in my opinion, communication has gotten worse in spite of their repeated statements that they would work to improve communication.
