al_giordino Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I read something about this a week or two ago... any truth to it? To clarify, I read (edit) ON ANOTHER THREAD IN THESE FORUMS (/edit) that EA/BW has plans to release the high res pack as a microtransaction for PC gamers with computers powerful enough to run it... the rest of the gang wouldn't have to purchase it if playing on a lower end computer.

VicSkimmr Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) you can't make that claim and not provide a source. and the answer is no, obviously. I can't tell if you're trolling or just unbelievably dense. Edited January 27, 2012 by VicSkimmr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToliverGrey Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I also heard the United Nations is going to make you buy air to breathe through microtransactions. No microtransaction, no air for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadaKai Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I read that Bioware was stealing babies and grooming them over the years to work in their production department. Don't remember where I read it, and I don't have a link but I am sure i am correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickirony Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is going to quickly devolve into an inflammatory argument without a source... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaltom Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I heard somewhere that you can swear your eternal soul to Bioware and they will turn on God mode for you in-game. I don't know where I read it, or even a link to a site that might discuss it vaguely, but I am pretty almost certain that it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 that would be pretty dumb. here is a fact that is actually verifiable: bioware released a high resolution texture pack for dragon age 2 for free. didn't make the game any better, but it looked nicer.

nilssen Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Of course not. If this were to happen I'd be leaving in a heartbeat, along with many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanmike Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I don't think its true. But I honestly won't put it past DLCware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_giordino Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 So if Bioware released a high rest texture pack for Dragon Age, why would it be such a crazy idea that they'd do the same thing here, only charge for it as per EAs need to deliver shareholder profits and maximize their return on SWTOR investment? Don't be naive. Even WoW has microtransactions for vanity items - pets, mounts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLauncher Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I wouldn't put it past EA, but I'd rather not speculate on a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HogtownDaddy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I am gonna start flagging and reporting every made up thread like this. Me too, if you look at OP's post history he has been saying he has unsubbed for about 2 weeks and actively trying to get others to unsub too. He is a troll. Oh, and yeah it was his thread he started where he read that. Edited January 27, 2012 by HogtownDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calarand Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Biggest pile of bantha doo-doo I have ever seen o the forum.... Funny, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_giordino Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) This is no more speculative than "OMG they might add free flight dogfights and travel in space!" That probably will be a microtransaction too if you want to do that. Don't be naive.... EA knows how to get your money. In fact, they already did. I'm not a hater.. I just want this game to be fun and work/look as advertised. Edited January 27, 2012 by al_giordino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
