Only 1 chapter released every month is not worth the subscription price. It simply isn't. I'm going to wait until mid next year until I subscribe again and play through them all at once. That or watch the cinematics on youtube.

I completely agree with everything you have written. I just wanted to comment on the story, credit where credit is due and all that. This is the culmination of a slow-burn NGE that started with the class talent/spec changes (or restrictions) and has ended with turning this game into a shadow of what it was and could have been. And yes I said NGE. I was there with my holocron unlocked jedi, it feels the same: a betrayal. At least SOE gave a full open world planet with new end game group content just before it hit to lessen the blow. It didn't lessen it very much, but it was more of a gesture than what Bioware has done.

Having played through early access, I wanted to give my 2 cents on the new expansion/content as others have done. It seems the devs want feedback, but I also hope this will be helpful if some players are still on the fence about subscribing for the new story content. I am not going to pretend I have played through every option or dialogue branch (only the Jedi Knight story) in the new content so I cannot speak for the imperial side or other classes. First of all dev team, the new story (in my opinion) is really good. The voice acting is top notch. This is the first time since launch that playing through the story hasn't felt like a long grind for me (trash mob overkill is another issue), it made me laugh out loud at times, made me feel emotionally connected with the characters, and quite frankly I could not stop playing just to see what would happen next. Amazing devs, just damn amazing. Is the new content worth a month's sub? Yes. No doubt. Do it. You won't regret it. Should you subscribe after the initial first 9 chapters? No. Having finished the chapters given in early access and seeing how short they are, even with trash mobs thrown in everywhere just to give the illusion of the story lasting longer; only releasing a chapter a month is simply not worth the money. I recommend waiting until late next year when at least another 9 chapters will be out to experience it. Unless you must have unlimited access to pvp or pve, stay free to play. You can see the cinematics on youtube for the story as well, so you won't be missing out if you just have to know what happens, but again save your cash.

I can confirm you will NOT get banned for buying them. I bought 50 for my strongholds and haven't received a ban. It's only if you sell them back to get to get credits, so fear not! Well done for taking such quick action on this, but the NPC should have been removed as soon as this was discovered, I just hope that the knock on effects of transferring credits and GTN sales will be fixed properly with no cost to non-exploiting players. Those who did this deserve to be perma-banned, they knew about it, saw the warnings about other exploits and in all need to be removed from the game. 7 days is not enough. 7 days is appropriate for those trying to bait others into doing this in chat however. That's just evil.

I have thought of this, and on paper it's a great idea. But for me, it's just ANOTHER device to lug around from one part of the UK to the other (and yeah it's small, but when you add laptops, phones and other tech) which I'm going to have to pay for and eventually buy a suitcase for just for the stuff. First world problems? Absolutely. But I'm prepared to pay £40 for the convenience of just having a keyring.

I'm still using my CE key since launch (well I got it delivered accidently a day BEFORE launch but nvm) and it works great. (Now that I've wrote that down it's probably going to break). The problem with the digital version is that while I could generally use it for a few months at a time, my job and other commitments mean I change handsets frequently and so would have to go through the whole routine of setting it up quite a bit. I get the manufacturing costs etc, but I'm willing (as I'm sure many others are) to pay over the average costs for one if need be when mine finally does run out of power. The option would be nice Bioware.

Thanks for the code, here is mine: http://www.swtor.com/user/ce/bl8vf

I agree completely with the first 2. It would make sense in the story to have those and I loved them in KOTOR and SWG (ok maybe not so much kasyykk, but the space zone was good). My thrid would be Yavin. Has loads of cool temples and tombs on it for operations.

I was in the same boat, until I made a CS ticket in-game, waited a little while and then had it granted no problem to all my characters. But raging is fine to.

If I ever have to wear or see the Guardian battlemaster set again I will eat my own face. God that set was ugly, like a knock-off anime samurai outfit. Or a really cheap power ranger.

I was Ordeci and Rey'nark on Lowca and then Flurry when the merges hit, in the guild MPI.

If the 'super secret space project' is indeed 3D space combat (like JTLS in SWG) then I would pay £30 or even £40 as it would pretty much be an expansion by itself. if it's just hard mode or more of what's already in game then I wouldn't pay a penny.

This happened to me yesterday running The Esseles for the first time. Obviously I ignored the "those who don't use spacebar will be kicked" people and was kicked anyway. Can Bioware please make it so anyone doing this can be warned/banned when doing this when we report them, or better yet get rid of the kick feature for low level flashpoints to stop this.

A dueling area like the ones they had in the SWG Jedi Enclaves on Yavin would be nice, they looked awesome.
