I would call the coins a benefit of having a subscription, As you cannot get them without it. We can argue all day long if they are free or not. It won't get us anywhere. They may as well update the benefits page and add it because at the end that's essentially what it is.

You'll have to forgive me then I didn't realize I was hijacking this thread, I was offering valid opinion on what he mentioned my apologies if you were offended.

Thank you for the updates While I understand it is awesome to have this finally coming and I agree that having more options is not a bad thing, while we may not have all the particulars in regards to next's weeks patch. I would also like to point out that having multiple payment options is also not a bad thing. I thought the way the Legacy system was setup where you could use in game currency in addition to cartel coins was a good thing. Don't get me wrong I can see were the higher customization options require cc's it would be better to allow more diversity on the lower options specifically either in game currency or cc

I smell an announcement of some sort coming.

Ok post was in jest..did anyone see this part?

SWTOR seems to like lots of mobs tightly grouped together and in a small condensed area. Please thin the herds and make them smaller. Everything in life has limits even the number of beans in a can of beans did you all know that there are only 239 beans in a can of beans because if you add one more it makes them 240 I mean (two-farty).

btw I wouldn't call it instantly since it was posted Friday...but hey as I mentioned in earlier posts..they should have put something on the side warning people that this was going to be different..I had stuff planned for tonight..it would have been nice to know that it was different than usual. that is all

You're correct there was an overreaction..it seems though they should have put something up on the side where they have put it in the past but haven't recently that things were going to be different with this release that is all.

You're correct they did post, I found it by looking at the dev tracker missed it the first time. This time it would have been better to make sure that it was also plastered on the side where they put the other updates, they have done this in the past but not so much recently.

You're right I was ticked off because there was stuff I had planned on doing tonight. I was tourqed because I found this morning that they were doing stuff tonight rather than early tomorrow morning. The announcement was not as clear as some of the others have been, where it was plastered on the side it wasn't until I looked in the dev tracker and found it.

Finally able to post to the forums.. I'm a subber and can log into the main page and got to the forums ..once there it thinks I'm not logged in..click the log in link takes me to my account page already logged in. Anyway why are they doing maintenance tonight during our prime time play this is not good.

That's good for you , but it's during my prime time..this sucks.

Is there a 1 stop resource for everything being added/removed/changed for 2.0 and the expansion which are due out next week? It seems quiet on the western front in that regard. I have seen questions being answered in the tracker but nothing in regards to what is going to happen next week.

2.0 and Makeb are coming next week, are there any blogs due to be released detailing what changes are going to be made between now and when 2.0 comes out?

I have decided to weigh in on this thread. I want to offer an alternative suggestion, while although I agree that buying cartel packs for the rep is maybe not the best decision, I present this as an alternative solution. And yes buying cartel packs is part, but only to a certain point, kind of like the gree event where once you reach a certain rep status you had to buy an authorization taken to gain access to the ship. What would be nice, and I'm not sure if BW has considered it, is why couldn't it be added that once you purchased enough rep, that you would be able to purchase an authoriztion that would unlock daily missions were you would be able to obtain rep and tokens, to be able to accomplish the same thing,also the option should still be available to buy more packs if you so choose to do so. I suggest this becuase I personally do not want to pay real money for packs or do not want to pruchase them off the GTN. ..Just my .02 cents.

I agree. I think this mount would be nice to get, I think it looks cool, but I would prefer it to be account wide and not just per character that is why I will most likely not purchase it. I think any mount that is purchased from the market should be account wide, the exclusion would be the mounts obtained from the gambiling packs. It would also be nice the costumes not purchased in packs also be available in one's legacy. But this is how the company is making money and do'nt see this changing any time in the future as long as people are spending money on stuff like this.

I was curious if we could get updated information on bug fixes, there have been serveral Dev postings last month or two that they were planning on rolling fixes for bugs in upcomming patches. I was wanting to know if that is still in the plans; if there is any new info that can be shared or anything that can be added. Particaulry to the Crash to Desktop/possible Memory leak that is causing me a lot of greif. I know bugs are given in anything and not trying to QQ. Just raising the question since serveral posts were made with the explanation they would be included in future patches.

True I think this mount looks cool, the thing about wo's 25$ mount is that it is for your entire account, not just for a single character, if this would be account wide I would be more inclined to purchase it.

Please use spoiler tags, that is an important part of the mission.

Good point.

That is a good point buying cc to buy the gambling packs, as your not really entirely sure what your getting. Although I do not have an issue spedning $10 on the DLC. I personally would like to have more information about what it contains, as I know of for sure by ordering before the dealine. a) Level Cap Increase to 55 b) 5 days early access c) faction storylines with an option at the end to join the Hutt or stay aligned with your faction d) SGR I'm curious what else is comming, I would like to see some mini games added, which seems to have consensus on the boards, but since nothing has been said no one really knows what is included. I would like to buy it, but would prefer more detailed information ( if possioble) other than a high level overview of what's in it. The early deadline and lack of information may prevent me from pre ordering, also the fact of the late relase as spring runs from end of March to near end of June. And as other have pointed out there is the potential for bug fixes/ unexpected maintenance that could cut down the early access play time. **Edit** Speaking of bus fixes the Crash to Desktop/Memory Leak that has persisted since 1.4 is also causing me some grief and has lessened my play time since I finished the 8th class story line, it would be nice if we could get more information on those fixes as well.

I have read a lot of posts about the latest annoucnement about the expansion/dlc or whatever it's called and I agree with both sides. I'm not concerned about the price. I would like to get a little more information about it before I buy it. Other than the new planet + 5 level cap inc. and the faction sotrylines that may involve alliging with the hutts at the end. I would like to know what else they have planned and am hoping that Bioware when they return will be open minded on providing more info especailly in reagards to the update, I'm positive it may not happen but am not sure what the future will bring. It would also be nice at least in my opinion if they were able to get the Crash to Desktop/ Memory leak issue fixed. I have 9 50's, my play time has decreased significantly since I finished my class mission mainly due to the contant 2 hour crash to desktop.

That is incorrect, the titles are still there at least for the one hitting level 10, I had leveled a character to 10 to test the new wz and did reiceieve the First Line of Defense title, it just takes a couple of days to recieve it on the live servers.

Ever notice that the devs/community team seem to be missing on Monday's in general and then Tuesday they seem to be more involved. This week however both days seem to be dead days for the devs/community team. It was also weird that we din't have any downtime this morning, not that I'm complaining and I'm sure the team deseerves a break especially after the big patch last week. but where is the team now?
