  1. Soon that will not be the case. When you go preferred status, you only get 2 slots you can play with.
  2. Ah, the beginning's of what F2P is going to showcase. Yes, recolored armor sucks, but don't worry. For just 2000 Cartel Coins, you can buy some new social armor. Or wait! Why buy that when you can spend 5000 Cartel Coins to buy the same social gear, but it will allow set bonuses to carry over!
  3. I'll be totally honest, I completely forgot about DDO. It's nice that it has added things to it. My point still stands, though. What is being focused on more by these devs? I'll bet for all that was added in content, there was significantly more added to their cash shops. Don't even get me started on buying experience boosters...
  4. Gonna play until we hit the Free to Play model, then unsub. The only true successful F2P transition was LOTRO and that is mostly because of the lore behind it. SWTOR may have that, but not from me. Free to play model bring less content than sub-based models. Less developer time on content, more developer time on what they can put in the cash shop.
  5. The reason I do not like the Free to Play model is because the focus of the development team goes to the cash shops, with very little content being made to the actual game. They do this because they aren't generating the revenue they used to so meetings go from "Hey, let's create this new planet/zone/warzone/" to "Hey, let's make this awesome lightsaber and make it cost $10." I know it is more than just greed. They need to make money somehow from the game when it goes free to play. The issue becomes apparent when you see content droughts because of the cash shop.
  6. Perhaps the goal is to get your friend to also sub the game as well, not just play to level 15?
  7. Please answer this one ASAP, Bioware. I will refer like a madman if it is account wide.
  8. 1) More social gear. 2) More... life? (Using the WoW example how no matter which NPC clicked on, they said something) 3) Mini-games (Pazzak, Sabaac, Swoop Races, hell Starship races would be awesome) 4) More pets! 5) More story quests.
  9. People will have their own reason for hating Free To Play. Mine comes from Star Trek Online. As soon as this game went free to play, there was a content drought that lasted months. And any content that was made, went straight to the cash shop. When a game goes Free To Play, that tells me that either the developers stopped caring about their customers and just want to cash in, or there isn't enough developers on the payroll anymore. Neither of these are good options for SWTOR.
  10. Back in my SWG days, my first character was named Brib'r. Randomly generated on some website, but I stuck with it. I didn't want to use it as someone's first name or even a last name I always use "The Brib'r Legacy" in honor of him.
  11. Answer your first question with a question: Do you think anyone deserves a free month? If so, why only the level 50's or Legacy level 6's? What makes them deserve it more than someone who has been supporting the game just as much as the level 50? Once again, if this was something as far as an in-game pet, title, or mount, I would not care. But free money is free money and yes, I'm gonna rage about it.
  12. Chalk me up as another person dissatisfied with the arrangements. I had made a few alts before even unlocking my legacy. I only just started getting Legacy XP because of this. If this would have been an in-game thing like a pet or ability or social outfit, I would have been fine with not getting it. But this is money. Who doesn't want to save money? I have been paying as long as any of the other paying level 50's or Legacy level 6. I guess I'm not a loyal enough customer. I'm not going to threaten to go to another game. I honestly love this game, but I really have lost a lot of faith in the Bioware for making this decision.
  13. It's a bonus to whom, though? Their "most loyal" customers? Please. If the level 50s feel like this is just a bonus to them, I suppose they wouldn't care if they just took away the free month entirely? I say we do that.
  14. Why would people suddenly stop playing Diablo 3? It's an ARPG not an MMORPG. They are two separate genres of games. Diablo 3 doesn't have a subscription, therefore, both can be played without any issue.
  15. Waitwaitwait. People use the chat in channels other than general? Mind = Blown.
  16. Don't care much for the topic but this made me lol. Seriously, so much blue.... Oh, and Multiboxing is fine, as is keycloning or whatever the software is called.
  17. Tab targeting has been my only issue with this game. I've had no other real issues except this. Hopefully they will be able to fix this.
  18. Six month subbed, staying for the long haul. It's most likely because I haven't played to the higher levels yet (my highest character is only 25), but I just don't see the issues other people are having. Yes I get some FPS drops, but I'm also running on a computer from 2006 that desperately needs upgrading. My only complaints with the UI have been that it's a bit large and I would love to have a third hotbar on the bottom. Other than that, I've been 3-manning with some friends and we've had a blast.
  19. I'm all for dual-speccing within your AC. But not change your AC. To go from Merc healer to Powertech tank is like going from Shaman to Warrior in WoW. Two completely different play styles that most (not all) would have to completely relevel to understand how they play and how to play them well.
  20. Yes, we need this. If they are using a slow that is normally used for a party member, they should be in the party/operation frame! I don't want to have to shift F2 or whichever slot the companion is in to heal them.
  21. This. Just because my tree has other roles in it (merc), if I do not spec into them, and just spec damage, I would hope I would be just as viable as someone who only has damage trees (Marauder).
  22. This. But it's okay. Most of the so-called trolls have more than likely have kept their subscription and are enjoying the game.
