dosadnik Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey guys was just uploaded on the TOR Youtube channel. It gives some more insight on the restrictions that come with F2P and also i guess a peak at what the cartel shop will look like. What do you think? P.S. Party Jawa FTW!!!

theborch Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am sure someone will tell me I am dumb but I still don't care about most of the information they are providing about the Cartel Shop until approximate prices are released for items and things in the cartel shop. The F2P stuff was kind of useful but I think most people already knew about the things in this video. I think there are other restrictions that have more confusion around them.

Jacen_Starsolo Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just 3 species for free. And unlocking one via Legacy means nothing I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LtGeneralGezlin Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just 3 species for free. Yeah, I'm not too sure how well THAT will work. But, I suppose they went that way because, for the most part, all eight classes have at least two of those species unlocked to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionflash Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 16,000 CC in that person's bank. Makes my 1,900 look like I found a nickle... I hope it's nothing like... New color crystal!! 5,000 Coins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they are available for every class, but your assumption is correct imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraonaiMimnov Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) If this free to play shop doesn't come with an image design kits they're losing out on money. Not to mention armor paint kits. Edited October 18, 2012 by DraonaiMimnov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the most useful piece is how much the items cost and it's the one piece we have ZERO information on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the nail on the head there, this will be it EXACTLY.......The "token" amount (yes the pun was intended) given will probably get you a useless item, requiring vast amounts of sub time OR real cash to obtain the good stuff (which SHOULD be given to subbers anyway....) Like it or not the Gouge is incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you wait to see what it really will cost and look like before saying what it will be EXACTLY like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYONE who does their research knows that the FTP business model does not gel well with the way us westerners like to game, SO they change the rulebook to the way of the "Eastern" MMo's who have NO QUALMS about the pay to win scenario and see it more of a status. Having experienced the rough end of 2 F2P transitions, I have yet to see a company that did not gouge its customers and do a u-turn on the "no game-changing gear in the store" line, which we all know is utter tripe.

No one needs a complete item list but a range of prices would be very useful and dare I say, informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafr Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 16k is for test purpose, I hope. You may buy everything at least once with this amount. A screenshot of this video, no price tag (as you all know): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have experience too, with DDO, and based on my experience, I agree with the other guy that you are fear-mongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting to see more of the shop since the description says something about it. Just another filler video to make it look like the studio's doing something. Back to Mass Effect I go.

I have experience with EQ2's cash shop and I quite like it. There is some pretty cool stuff on there at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A screenshot of this video, no price tag (as you all know): The Imperial Agent looking armor in the the 'Crime Lord's Cartel Pack' looks like this smuggler armor. At least the sleeves do... I can see them rehashing a few things... I don't mean to nit-pick It's just...what else am I supposed to do until I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't dumb. It really doesn't matter how many cartel coins we get/don't get, until we have some frame of reference as to what the purchasing power of those coins will be. If I tell you I'm going to give you a million unit's of currency, it doesn't say anything. If it's in USD, it's (obviously)worth a million dollars. It it's in Somaliland Schillings, it's worth about $600 (USD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it's in Somaliland Schillings, it's worth about $600 (USD) Good, I have brought this up in a few "OOH look at all my cartel coins" threads and people don't seem to get that it doesn't matter how much you have until you know how much things costs. At least some people understand that. Your post is appreciated and for having such wonderful insight I award 10 billion blazinka flech pieces to spend as you please.

Chiltonium Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 my only gripe was "look for more info the the weeks to come." weeks to come? You said fall, bioware. Fall is over in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
