  1. And those people were morons. Now your cubes are basically replaced with a 5k item, for a net loss of about 3-400k a pack. Bronze items are essentially worthless from a credit standpoint (silver too for that matter). The cubes were where the bulk of a hyper rates value was. You could sell the cubes and easily buy whatever gold item you were chasing. So now we get 6 or so more filler bronze items, the value of packs plummets AND BW raises prices. The new packs have a whopping 5 bronze items that you are going to be sick of because these 5 items are going to comprise about 50% of all pack contents. 2 chairs, a pet, one armor and one mount. None of which will be worth jack squat by the end of the week. Enjoy drowning in the glut of your "new" items people who whined about the cubes... Unless you had maxed your entire collection, you had a much better chance of getting something "new" (as in you didnt own) with chance cubes replacing bronze.
  2. Good news! There in fact IS a method to getting what you want. It's called the market, and the cubes present a much better path to actually getting something worthwhile than the bronze (or even silver) item you would have received in their place. The cubes sell for much more than essentially anything but a gold in any given pack. Want that silver mount in the current pack? You could get easily buy 3 for what you'd get selling one of the cubes you are complaining about. Those same packs, in bronze style (ie, replacing each cube with a bronze item), would have been worth way less.
  3. Oh, that would me awesome, because it would finallay show the pro-bronze camp how terrible bronzes are. The poor bastards who buy the bronze crates are flooded in the same 6 or so bronze items, and dump them for 1000 credits each. The cube buyers instead get cubes they can either open or sell for 3-400k, and get to snap up cheap bronzes, assuming anything is actually produced worth a damn in the bronze pool.
  4. This guy gets it. In the cube crates, you'd open a hypercrate, get 30 or so cubes, and if you were so inclined, sell the cubes for 10-12 million, easily enough for multiple of the best golds in the crate (barring arbiter sabers). Now you'll end up with about 30k.
  5. Bronze items from un-embargoed packs are essentially worthless, as they glut the market instantly. Cubes had actual resale value, and introduced past items in short supply. I cn only hope cubes are more common than new bronze items in the same slot. Caving to the uninformed idiots whining about chance cubes is a huge mistake. Enjoy your extra 6 crap items that will go for under 5k on the market and the return of most packs being a complete waste. With cubes, at least you could resell the cube for 3-400K or so if you didnt get a gold or decent silver item.
  6. Those Satele sets will end up under 1 million per box in a week or two tops. Sell one of those acklays and you can buy the full outfit tomorrow. Man, I just realized this set has 50% less new armors/mounts than the previous one. Rates for the silvers are going to be garbage. I actually hope they upped the cube drop rate to preserve the pack value.
  7. Doc on Jedi Knight, even if your character is male. They are his favorite (or whatever the highest influence gain is called). I can only assume he's banking them to give out to other women later.
  8. So you're against NPC customization then?
  9. It actually doesnt matter how you have treated them previously, other than I believe Vette requiring the slave collar off to romance. Once you choose "Flirt" they are forced to be yours. The people trying to hide their homophobia behind claims of protecting NPC's from gay conversion are *********** laughable. I hope they are also against NPC customization. Oh no, you forced Quinn to become black!
  10. You seem overly concerned with the rights of a bunch of 1's and 0's. How about this... in no case do you flirt with someone and they hardcore reject you. You are literally forcing them to romance you the moment you choose to engage in romance with them. Basically mind ****** them into being your partner. The moment a male bounty hunter flirts with Mako, she loses the right to say no. Wont someone think of the NPC's?!
  11. Wont someone think of the bigots? No one tolerates their intolerance!
  12. There are. They are the ones you choose not to flirt with (or cant). Essentially Schroedinger's Sexuality, uncertain until you the player decide. Plus its not like you can tell if someone else's Vette is romanced by their female warrior. There are only a few companions whose sexuality seems determined outside of you choosing to romance them. Mako is into Torian, implying she is straight (or bi I guess). Doc is definitely into the ladies, so is straight or the most overcompensating closeted guy ever. Probably some others, but basically they are asexual until you decide to confirm a preference by flirting with them (which again, might just mean they are bi). If someone is so homophobic they cant stand the idea of a gay Quinn in someone ELSE'S story, I don't know what to say.
  13. I reserve my bottom 2 rows of inventory for blue/purple rank 5's on my characters, since everyone has a gift gathering skill. Rank 4 and below I use on the spot with whatever companion accepts them best. It's not worth it to save an inventory spot to maximize effectiveness on a rank 3 gift for some companion I might acquire someday.
  14. How would you know if "your" Jorgan became bi/gay? It's not like you are privy to someone else's romance cutscenes. Opening up the returning companions to anyone is a non-issue. Either you romanced them previously, and their sexuality was established, or you didnt and it wasnt. Maybe they werent into you until the events of KOTFE.
  15. Do you want to see the damn thing, or not? If they made them any smaller they may as well not design them, because you wouldnt be able to see them in game.
  16. Have you received it since the patch? My understanding was "no modifications" meant an empty orange shell, not that it was an item with fixed stats.
  17. Why? That was a good crate. Or are we going to pitch a hissyfit if we dont get an unstable sabers in every pack? Oh wait, I know the answer to that...
  18. That's one weak pack. Only really desired seem to be the nexu and slug. Those Flash Gordon ray guns make me chuckle though. I would have packed the unstable arbiter saber in them again...
  19. What exactly are you getting less of? The only thing I see missing is cartel certs. The stupid exp boosts aren't missed. 2 items, scrap and a gift. The market has decided they prefer a cube to one of a tiny pool of bronze items (or indeed any silver item other than a classic vibrosword).
  20. Thanks for breaking it down, though you forgot decorations (luxury spa is gold for example). Its kind of hard to know what decos are in each pack, since they arent in collections for some stupid reason. So the chance is even lower!
  21. None actually, its fear of that which dissuaded me from ever buying a gold armor pack. They all show as gold in collections, along with crap like Seberists Body armor and other regular gear. Should have clarified I got a gold mount pack, and snagged a jungle gundark, GTM price of approximately 1 million. Or you know 3 of those chance cubes everyone claims to hate! Seems better to flip the cubes/items and just buy what you want from the GTM really than risk it on a high end gold pack.
  22. Yeah, they are literally the best thing you could get aside from a very few items. Worth far more than anything but the highest end items in the past few packs. People piss and moan and whine and lie on the forums, but they are widely popular and represent a much needed means of getting old items into circulation without being bent over the counter for almost $20 bucks a pop on a gold pack.
  23. No, they arent in the B/S/G packs (which arent on sale). Which are a total rip off BTW compared to the chance cubes. There's a ton of garbage watering down that gold armor pool (jerseys, corp shirts). Most golds are a couple million or less, which by my account (or the gold spammers for that matter) sure is worth a hell of a lot less than the $15+ I paid for a random one.
