My main new Imperial toon dinged 65. During the journey, the packs as per the rewards I achieved were delivered. My question is, if I made a Republic toon, do they still get packs too? Or is it just 1 set of rewards per account?

He is probably still waiting for those promised 500 Cartel Coins, like the majority of players lol

Hundreds who were promised the coins and it was clear cut - if you 'SAW THE PROMO IN YOUR LAUNCHER' - you will be granted the coins. I'm still waiting, like many others. The fact that some players who play together(couples) one has been given the coins, the other hasn't - that's just how random this nonsense is. I'm just amazed there's been no response from Bioware as they again bury their heads in the sand and forget that an MMO is a 24 hour operation. The UK DOES have Internet access you know.

Players are hardly buying whats there now as its nothing more than reskinned crap and is far from £30 value. Yes - the fanboys will say 'well don't buy them' - and I don't any longer. But, importantly - remember when Eric told you all that this new pack offers better value, therefore justified to increase the price from 5400 to 6300? Check your Collections and look back at the history of the Cartel Packs. Some offered a ton of armour sets (hardly any reskins), emotes, stuff, mounts, crystals all in a SINGLE pack totting up to around 4 pages of items to collect. Then fast forward to the Gemini tat pack - 2 pages of pure uninspiring tat with a much reduced chance of getting any armour sets or rares at all. If they are looking to boost flagging Pack sales - look back at history and offer the players a reason to buy them without reskinning everything or being lazy with Stronghold items

After James talked about 'Single player' and 'story' - about the importance of story and how to recreate that SW magic. just how important players working together is and how side characters play key roles in working together to defeat a common enemy - just like in the movies and that its 'NOT a lone wolf story'. So poor James is probably thinking 'damn'.

lol. Ive watched just 1 live stream as it made me wanna puke after. Watching the devs pat themselves on the back for achieving bare minimum in their game, avoiding key issues, and waffle on about other non relevant stuff is truly something you gotta see to believe.

Nope. I'm not sure how it works, but key emails remain saved (rewards, updates from class story etc) but selling/expired listed stuff is deleted after around 30 days.

I've stopped at the 'must complete 9 chapters of kofte' as I just can't force myself to carry that nonsense on. Click boxes, check water, run around talking to your endless growing band of brainless, pointless pets. It's just too much work for an extra 10% xp boost and 30 DvL tat packs.

I know there's more chance of finding life on Mars then Bioware checking the PvP forum - so after a few months of Odesson only paying 80/70 coms for win/loss - despite the fix to the instant death bug - the pay out still remains broken. Or, is low pay outs the new 'default' mode for Odesson?

And none for the past 2 weeks. That's across ALL my 24 toons on TRE, 8 on Harb and 5 on Shadowlands and even includes Lowbies & mid tier too. I've had around 10 Queshballs pop in that time. Current cycle is Waste of time Arena Hypergate Hypergate Civil War Arena Arena Arena Odesson (yawn!) Voidstar Coast Hypergate Civil War Q appears to be broken, or I am again just bang out of luck. Even when you search ' The Pit', theres no one there as it hasn't popped

I would probably hold fire until the next pack arrives. Why? Cartel packs are FULL of crap that drops like a stone in value(if you are looking to sell items on the GTN). The DvL packs don't have any chance cubes - which are pretty useless too and another excuse for Bioware to offer very little compared to the previous run of Packs). Plus because the packs aren't selling as well as they used to, due to the lack of whales in the game now (check your GTN) - the prices will drop within the next couple weeks due to lack of up take. However, if you are looking for personal use, I would probably take a punt on the DvL packs as you stand a better chance of dropping parts of armour sets.

Not really. I think Bioware are on 'Content Drought Tour 2016' - the 5th year in a row where the game has suffered serious content drought. Made more glowing at the lack of any real end game after over 12 months. If you love flushing £10 down the toilet for 30 minutes of cut scene and Pet Recruitment yawn fest that is KoFte and entertaining Biowares apparent lack of what is coming next(if anything) - the Dark vs Light event should demonstrate that they clearly have nothing to offer. They have reskinned everything, now its time to recycle - and that is never good. With the DvL packs now on sale too, its clear that the game has spiralled into a 'Cash Grab' - pay more for less (compare the Cartel Packs from old vs the new ones and you miss out on 2 extra pages of stuff - REAL proper stuff like armour, yet they see fit to charge 6300 for them). Mine runs out in 10 days and this will probably be my final farewell as Legion arrives and I haven't touched WoW since 2007. Hell, even Rift is updating to 64 bit support! That's the future.

'Don't touch me!' I laughed so hard it actually woke me up during Kofte.

Its looks like these coin rewards are more random than a combat update.

Actually, they didn't. Eric said that 'if you saw the promo, you will get the coins'. It's as black and white as you can get. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. Link

That makes zero sense. I've had a sub for almost 2 months in a row - saw the advert on or around the 4th or 5th of July I think in my launcher - my sub runs out in 11 days. I still don't see any coins. So who knows whats going on and Biowares silence on the matter is deafening.

Eric has made 2 posts in 2 days, so probably reached his post quoter for the week.

It must be a slow process and the servers lagging so some activity is sending the hamster into over drive. But, as normal we are greeted with Biowares trademarked lack of communication.

Same. And just to tempt us on this 'end of year cash grab' they put more cartel tat packs on sale.

I saw it in my launcher for the past week and got nada. So clearly that isn't right or something isn't working - again

Hey I'm done. Thankfully, I haven't been that silly to waste my time and money (apart from this sub period) and I am pleased you are happy with a below standard game with a tiny player base. Enjoy.

Yeah because they are all recent - not - and added during a period when Bioware actually put some effort in.

It has nothing to do with the packs being 'popular'. Once the cool timer expires, you tend to see 10-20 packs listed all within a few credits of each other. Now you hardly see 1. Therefore only 1 or 2 packs are posted and they may be purchased. 1 or 2 is a far cry from the 10-20 listed a year ago. The whole 'you don't have you buy' is kinda boring now and I remember you being Biowares fan boy. Glad to still see you are posting nonsense. I used to buy packs with credits because the packs over the past 12 months simply do not represent good value. And yes, its great to have rare items in packs but not when they are the ONLY rare items in the game. Players pay a subscription and the last time I checked, only tacky reskinned walkers were offered as 'rare' awards. That is not how MMOs work. A rare item is something you work for, spend ages trying to achieve it, that's where its value comes from. Not because someone hasn't either got the £20/50 million credits to spend opening packs or due to the poor drop rate in those packs. Stop kissing their backside!

As many have pointed out - the Cartel Market saved this game. But. That was 3 years ago and clearly the changes to the packs and the amount of crap you get in them are less attractive to players. Are these packs really worth £20? The fact there's hardly any on the TRE GTN proves that even those whales aren't buying them any more. A rare item should be something you EARN and it should not be rare because its found in a Cartel Pack - and that, is sucking what little life there is, out of the game.

I actually resubbed to see what has changed after not playing just after KoFTE dropped - as it was a very poor recruitment drive for more pointless stupid pets(aka companions). The new Warzone brought me back and also made me quit again. VERY poorly designed and planned as you run around like a headless chicken trying to find the action. Importantly, I noticed several key things - mainly the lack of 'whales'. They are the people who buy up all the Cartel Hypercrates and put them for sale on the GTN. I haven't see ONE Hypercrate for sale in 4 weeks. I do see individual old packs selling for 1-32m on TRE GTN with a handful of the newer packs at 2m each. 12 months ago, 30x packs would sell for 5-10m and individual packs 100-400k It's also very sad Bioware have just spent these past months reskinning everything and anything to shove in these packs and now a rare item isn't something you EARN, its rare because it comes from one of these crappy packs. THAT is killing the game - no wonder servers are low population 80% of the day. Such a shame.
