Fleurdelis Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Who says that the Cartel coin option doesn't still require legacy level 40 to purchase the companion? BW never said that there would be no legacy level requirement for that option. Why are some of you people just assuming that and spazzing out about this? Most of the legacy perks have an option to use credits or coins but still have the same legacy level requirement. I would be ok with the CC purchase of this companion if the legacy level to use it remains 40 also. Would be nice to get a dev response to clarify.

SilentKitty Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Yes, and so does every other comp. I was talking about a quest line en route to getting her, like every other comp. Make the quest require Legacy 40 and an item which costs 1,000,000 credits or X amount of CC for the privilege to speak to the 'Woks. And then on completion, the toon that did the quest gets Treek, and unlocks the ability for all alts in the Legacy to buy Treek without doing the quest again using credits or CC. Unless I'm mistaken you have to have legacy lvl 40 when you get Treek no matter if you choose to pay with credits or CC. I will personally buy her for a few characters with credits and a few characters with coins. Like it says in Dulfys article. Mandatory: Legacy lvl 40 Choice: Credits or CC http://dulfy.net/2013/06/28/swtor-new-ewok-companion-treek/ Or that is at least how I interpret it. EDIT: Well, now I feel a little stupid. Should have looked at developer tracker straight away before guessing. Eric Musco posted the following. Hey folks, Just wanted to let you know that no petition is necessary, you will be able to acquire Treek via Cartel Market if you so choose. Having her be a part of the Legacy system allowed an avenue for players to get her without spending any of their Cartel Coins if they wanted! -eric Linky to post Edited July 3, 2013 by SilentKitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries_cz Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well, now I feel a little stupid. Should have looked at developer tracker straight away before guessing. Eric Musco posted the following... *snip* Actually, he did not say if CC option will still need LL40. If I base my assumptions on how it is at the moment with other unlocks (personal ship transport cooldown reduction, for example), CCs will override legacy level requirement.

Overmannus Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If you look at other unlocks non of them of them has ever required any prerequisites if you bought em with CC's. Why do people care so much about things that do not have any impact on them. I mean jesus, so much fuss because of one retarded ewok companion.

Skaol-dirtyd Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) ...and surpass any requirement to earn it. At least give us two different styes of the Ewok. A basic one for those who purchase it and one that looks a bit more tricked out (however you would trick an Ewok out) perhaps with different fur color and pattern and different gear so that we can tell who actually worked for theirs. That way everyone gets what they want. Folks can buy one, and those of us who have earned the Legacy Levels to get her can have our trophy companion. I agree with you 100% BBP this has been my thought on this situation from the start. This idea could put an end to the Ewok threads IMO. You would then know who "earned it" and who bought it.

Skaol-dirtyd Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 You sayin' i didnt "earn" my ewok buddy by working my butt off at work earning real cash instead of playing the game at every waking moment? Yeah that's pretty spot on, at least in terms of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocho-Quatro Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 ...(however you would trick an Ewok out) .... I vote.... the companion is the same regardless of how you obtain it (Legacy vs CC).... but if you have Legacy 40 or higher, your companion should come with an exclusive customization that: 1- Dresses your Ewok like John Rambo. or 2- Replaces her bowcaster with a slingslot (oh yes....) or 3- Let's your Ewok wear a Stormtrooper helmet...

curtkram Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 i think they need one of those heal emotes, like the remote control starship, that turns you into a snowflake. it should be available in game through grinding something like "kill 100 xx" things, 1 on each planet. they should probably shoot for around maybe 50 hours of playtime to be able to kill all of the things on planets you've already visited. it should also be available for 30 cartel coins. that way, it is more or less equally available to everyone. and the forum people who like to talk about 'special snowflakes' would actually have someone to talk about.

Yet because A. are worthless and of no dedication to society. or B. live life mooching off mommy and dady. These folks believe they are entitled to some special compensation for something they did not even have to try for they just already meet the requirements and think that because I work 12 hours a day 6 days s week and have a family that it's wrong for me to be able to spend my "earned e" money if I want to be able to receive this companion?

You did not earn anything by buying it.. in the context of the game. You bought it ...... I don't care if you can buy the Ewok or not.... I don't care if there is a legacy requirement or not...

Have any common sense? you didn't know the military is paid for with tax dollars? i don't count the military as mooches. it still sounds like that's what you're suggesting? donald trump is a bit of a mooch. he's taken advantage of our government to declare bankruptcy a couple times, even though he could have afforded to pay his debt. but he could also afford the ewok if he wanted. people like mitt romney, who live off what their parent's built, could probably go ahead and buy the ewok. the people in the oil companies getting subsidies from the government probably have enough money to buy the ewok. people getting tax breaks on capital gains and inheritance can probably afford the ewok. i think asking to buy your way out of the challenge in a game is not what a real conservative would do. john wayne and ronald reagan would have preferred to earn the ewok by working hard and killing lots of stuff, not by paying for a free ride.

I'm sorry can you point out to me where I said obtaining legacy lvl 40 was an accomplishment? I have simply been pointing out the fallacy of your argument. I could give two hoots if you can buy the ewok or if there is even a legacy requirement attached to it. Again you have not earned anything in relation to this game. You have bought things. Earn 1. To acquire or deserve as a result of effort or action: Buy 1. To acquire in exchange for money or its equivalent; purchase. My opinion seems to be the same as Merriam-Webster on this subject.
