I started in November's stress test as well.

Well, other than that rich old geezer with a heart condition IRL
, I'd like to see some sandbox elements, or rather, more freedom to explore and plot your own course ingame.

My agent sniper. Why? Her class story is far better than the others, her dps is very decent once you get used to the rotation. And like one of the previous posters said, agent's gear is incredibly sexy

Hey check out the announcement page for SWTOR going F2P. That Sith Inquisitor with HK-51. He's got a mask...with his hood up. A hint perhaps?
Of course. Spend 10K cartel coins and you get to put up/pull down your hood if you so desire.

August 7th.
You are absolutely right!
-
I don't need one.
Rooms are soooo last millennium

More "guesstimating which completely runs in the face of previous history.
Again, games that go f2p tend to end up making MORE MONEY than they did. They have MORE users that spend MORE MONEY and have increased profits and player experience.
You can guesstimate all you want, but when your guesses fly in the face of recent history, maybe it's time to put a little more thought into them eh?
Sigh, I give up. An innocent attempt to lighten the mood and play a little word game has made me into a guestimator. Good day, Sir, the thread is yours.

I thought we were to be given 25 black hole comms if we were active subs at the end of July?
IIRC, we will get that at the end of August, 27/28th-ish.
-
It's the beginning of the end for your present, my sweet.
I hope you're lucky enough to get a lifeboat!!
Sincerely,
Whales
I think I'll go back to Angry Birds, lol

DCUO went free to play... their playerbase increased by 1000%, that's not a typo, ONE THOUSAND PERCENT. It went up ONE THOUSAND PERCENT.
Going f2p has serious positive effects on games that do it right. Now you can try and be all wishy washy and say "there's nothing to say they will do it right herp derp..."
But that's NOT WHAT YOU SAID. You implied that ALL f2p models are failures, which is COMPLETELY FALSE.
Lol, I actually meant if you look at the literal meaning of that statement, it's a contradiction in terms. F2P means you don't need a subscription to play (yeah yeah, I know, SWTOR will adopt a hybrid system). You may get more players, only time will tell, but I doubt you'll be getting more subscriptions.

Dear Mr. HomicidalWhales,
That date in your sig happens to be my birthday too. Happy belated birthday to me from EA? I'm sure I didn't ask to get the end of SWTOR as a present....
Kind regards,
Sauska

No because you still are not making sense. If you spend rl money the only thing you can buy is points. Then you use those points to pay for items. So any way it goes you get the points (or coins whatever) and then spend them.
Oh, you will be able to buy more than just points with real life money, eventually.
-
Well, if the game is free we will be getting our money's worth.
Aye, garbage in, garbage out
-
It's essentially pay2win. The benefits of having a sub will be very great. A lot of new players will join and eventually some of them will sub. It's not a contradiction at all. It's the exact F2P model they're using.
Knowing EA and their mission statement of profit > service/customers, I highly doubt that subscribers will get great benefits. But yeah, I agree, you will probably have to fork out some hefty sums of money to be able to achieve anything worthwhile ingame, subscribers and non-subscribers alike.
-
Not to crush your hope or anything, but you might want to take a look at my sig
Or mine
-
They are making it F2P as a last ditch effort to get more subscribers and save the game.
Uhm, going F2P to get more subscribers, you sure that isn't quite the contradiction in terms?
-
I'm not so excited about Guild Wars. I'm not really down with that NCSoft Anime thing they got going on.
Agreed. It's a nice little game to dabble a bit in now and again, but it will never be my main game.
-
Leaving one EA game for another? Hope you find fun there.
Just biding my time till The Repopulation gets to Beta stage
-
The cartel coins cost real life money...
Seeing that subscribers will get a certain amount of cartel coins, the cool stuff will cost more real life money. Happy now?
-
I'm guessing the cartel coins will give us useless fluff. The cool stuff will cost real money.
-
Yea, thats right, EvE is going f2p....when?
SWG was getting old and dated, the truth is noone has tried with a sandbox mmo in ages, because they all just copy WoW, CCPs World of Darkness looks promising tho.
So does The Repopulation.
-
Yep, I can see it.
You get to that final door before the last boss in the raid. Everyone clicks on the door and gets a $ over their head. The game opens up a dialog asking you for $1 to continue the raid...
Definitely possible in this game's future.
Rofl, I can picture that as well. Awesome, and so utterly utterly sad, sigh.

The world economy isn't exactly the best right now.
Playing an online MMO is still a lot cheaper than many other hobbies!

Unsubbed this afternoon, and registered for The Secret World
, I'd like to see some sandbox elements, or rather, more freedom to explore and plot your own course ingame.
I feel for you BioWare..
