I think there was a comment several pages back that went along the lines of: "Am I entitled to the CC? No, but it's much better than the title." That's kind of where I'm at - but at the same time, it makes absolutely no sense to only honor purchases in the past month as worthy of essentially having the cost refunded in cartel coins. If this is the model, what's the point of buying any future digital expansions from them? If you're in no rush to see new content, it's all about value - wait until the last month and get $20 worth of content for $10. Bioware can and will do whatever they want to do, but it doesn't make sense. And as a consumer, if this stands it doesn't make any sense to pay them for any future digital expansion. Very questionable decision. I echo the other sentiments in that I certainly wouldn't have pre-ordered RotHC if I thought I could get it PLUS 1050 CC by holding out. It's a shame, and I won't make the same mistake again. The SWTOR team really knows how to alienate their supporters, don't they?

I promoted Elara the first time around and I fully plan on promoting her with this trooper as well. Even though I will probably never use her outside of quest conversations, she will get the nod. I've never liked Jorgan's attitude. Sure, he took the fall for something that wasn't his fault - but not only does he get placed in a top tier unit, the general that demoted him tries to get him back. If the game offered another ranged DPS soldier and the chance for Jorgan to go elsewhere advance his career, I'd let him go in a heartbeat. Honestly, I don't want another officer. I want a young commando who wasn't demoted into my team to fill Jorgan's role. Make it happen, Bioware! Sergeant Jaxo, perhaps?? That's a trade I can get behind, she's certainly deserving. With Elara, I felt like Garza and I were taking an unappreciated, underutilized talent and letting her develop under my wing. Dorne just ends up feeling like the better leadership partner, and it's a bonus that my XO was a decorated Imperial soldier.

I'm working on a second trooper after falling out of love with so many things about my Vanguard including her appearance. For this character I went with female body type 4 and I have no regrets at all, she looks so much better than any other character of mine to date.
