  1. I would be royally pissed if, when they`ll change the Series 512 reflection, they`ll invert the colors. You see, I specifically bought the primary or secondary white dye ONLY because it looks like that, in that particular combo. I would demand a refund, seeing how what I bought is no longer visually correct to what I bought it FOR.
  2. Then you`re just wasting your time with this highly monetized game, no? I also heard WOW and WOT are free too.
  3. Really? A new 55 will have first time missions for a series of ops - which give usually at least 2 Mass Manipulators. That is one million saved. You can run more and sell the others, which will fund buying blues and isotopes, which you should have already - the blues. You are getting the hilt / barrel FOR FREE, with only your mats that you get as soon as you hit 55 from weeklies and first runs... but it`s not enough, is it? You have to talk from your... other end and show jealousy. Good man...good man.
  4. IMHO, the cloak actually ruins that Cassus Fett armor. I considered getting it but that cloak is... an anti-climax. And that armor of yours in the avatar - is it the TT-17A Elite Vanguard with the Mercenary Elite Prototype helmet, or any of the lookalikes?
  5. The base game is not F2P and never was - not in the sense that it is 100% free. It offers ONLY restricted access for free - nowhere it is said that Free is the new model. No game in the world is completely free and this game is no exception. Be happy - you or anyone that plays or wants to play without spending money - that you can play as it is. Lacking any proof they spent ANY money, or money up to at least 15 bucks per month, freeloaders will never be more than "beggars can`t be choosers".
  6. I am more simple minded and I say money is money and there is nothing unclear about it. If I am spending 100 bucks and buy whatever packs I am buying, I paid Bioware 100 bucks. Your ingame money that are buying whatever I am selling from the packs I bought will still amount to ZERO towards Bioware revenue. And my stuff put on sale WILL sell. It might not be you, but some other guy that spent 100 bucks might buy what I`m selling, because he didn`t get it dropped, or some other sub that hasn`t paid anything above 15, but has plenty of ingame cash. I also happen to not subscribe to the "free players are useful" wave of thinkers. To me, 15 bucks a month is and always will be better than "maybe" 15 bucks a month. And if I am to believe the posts that want more features for freemiums, they don`t seem to want to spend ANYTHING on this game, ever. You know how they can be useful? By paying their 15. You know how they can have no restrictions whatsoever? By paying their 15. Because, after everything is said and done, they are STILL getting this game for free. And I like comparing then 1:1, because I don`t see anyone collecting money for MY sub, so why would I think otherwise? A player either pays its dues or it doesn`t. But can`t ask for nothing if it doesn`t. Tell you what: pay half my sub from now on and I`ll concede the 1:1 thinking. Will you?
  7. With the 156 you do the weeklies and first time OP runs - which will get you enough mats to find a crafter for your main weapon hilt / barrel for free (2 purples, 8 blues, 8 isotopes) and enough ultimate comms to buy your 180 rated offhand. You would ideally have enough elites to buy 2 168 rated pieces. Use the PvP relics for the time being - not bad choices at all. That set fully augmented with whatever your class needs will get you entry in every PuG weekly and you might get carried in some HM Ops if you find a Guild that`s doing alt runs. 168 rated gear fully augmented at class percentage targets is entry to HM DF+DP, which would be your bread and butter. Also, in my book, 162 rated gear with bonus is better than 168 / 180 without, as far as Armorings go.
  8. In all honesty, F2P has no universal definition past "I am playing without spending a single cent". http://www.swtor.com/info/overview <--- what can we read just under the usual PR BS? So, it`s NOT F2P - you are playing up to lvl 50 with some restrictions, or become a sub. People tend to read what they want to read, but this is not the case - the norm, or standard is STILL the subscription - the only difference being that freeloaders get to load the game and play it to some extent, as opposed to the 2012 state of things, which required the client bought and a sub plan set.
  9. Think of it this way - it`s just a name. Makes no difference if it`s called "Han Solo`s Chestguard" or "Generic Chestguard TwoTwoEight" - it`s the same piece of armor. If anything, it only helps identify it at a fast GTN search, instead of keeping a blanket sized sheet with all the names and what armor they actually represent. I don`t understand the ones screaming blasphemy - it`s just a piece of armor. You are wearing the armor, not the name.
  10. Well, that is a greed issue more than anything. You got what you work for, really, in a progression MMO - want 22 lockouts, you`ll level 22 toons. Want one lockout, you`ll settle with one. Your choice, based on time, will and whatever boosts you want to buy from GTN / Legacy / CM. And, unless you raid every night, for a normal 2 evenings per week you only need 2 toons - this is even assuming you run DF+DP in one evening on ONE toon each night. If you spotfill that`s 2 more - 4 toons. 4 toons per side is more than enough for this not be an issue past nitpicking and false arguments. 4 toons are more than easy to ding to 55 in a timely fashion.
  11. 2 mass manipulators at 400-500k a piece, 8 blue whatevers at 50-60k a piece and 8 isotopes at 100 - 100k a piece. You can find crafters that only give those for the above mats, or you can choose to pay whatever price others ask. But you CAN get them for free, as long as you have the mats.
  12. It is very safe to assume that we`ll get more customization packs in the future - near or distant.
  13. I have a personal system that puts skills in the same place - helps both muscle memory and confusion. So, for mirror classes, even if the icons themselves are not the same, their relative positions on the hotbars will always be the same. It`s a very easy thing to do, too.
  14. I will quote the answer I received in a different topic - "Well, tough luck then."
  15. Nah, you still have PvP and Kuat as means to level, or GSF.
  16. Sure it is logical. He will start on Origin World at lvl 1 and get to 15, then grind Kuat, or quest, or PvP, with or without exp boosts. His choice.
  17. He is a raider and / or a PvP-er. His opening post title says he is leveling a 7th 55 - that means he has at least 6. He only needs 4, so he is having 3 toons too many - the extra 2 max levels and the 7th he is leveling now. Why 4? Because you only need 2 toons to cover all 3 roles and most tanks are capable PvP tanks / dps. Logically, 4 toons (2 on each side) can cover all his NEEDS. If we talk about greed. that is another thing.
  18. You have 3 toons too many and that is assuming you are playing on both factions. You don`t need this "feature" anyway. Unless you have been less than efficient, which is more about bad planning than a stringent need.
  19. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you only NEED 2 toons per side, to have all roles covered - tank, dps, heal. Anything else is your own choice. Want to get to 55? WORK for it.
  20. This game was advertised as bought client with an exclusive sub based model. I think we are past what this game was advertised as. I don`t like his idea, btw, but your reasoning is not adequate at this time. It seems we can follow any game we want if we like an idea, but can`t follow others or the same for ideas we don`t. We either do, or we don`t
  21. Believe it or not, Google nets you better results than a direct search here.
  22. If it`s from the packs and not http://dulfy.net/2014/05/08/swtor-nar-shaddaa-nightlife-event-vendor-items/ "Kingpin’s Blaster Rifle" - this one, you can have whatever color you want . I have no interest in anything else related to the Nightlife theme in general but that rifle and maybe the speeder - the green one.
