Kilora Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I would probably just shut the f...ront door and create lots of content geared toward subscribers. Flash points, operations, and war zones. /signed That would be TRUE subscriber appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JattaGin Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) To add something on-topic (not that easy these days, it seems), here are some things I would have been really thankful for as a subscriber-appreciation: 1. First and foremost: A guarantee that all longtime known bugs get fixed with the next update. E. g. all broken codex entries, all armor clipping errors, all glitches, all graphic issues, imbalances, not working achievements (like imperial space missions being stuck at 99%) and all that. THAT would have made me feel extremely appreciated AND it is even for everyone. 2. Since 1. is obviously too much to ask for: Any sort of gifts/items that no one can ever get who was not subscribed before 4th July 2013. Make that a pet, a speeder, a title. It does not matter to me if it is useless. Would it show that they appreciate us (e. g. it would be something they read several times on the forum and they secretly worked on getting it done for us), I would have been happy. 3. 30 days free of charge OR alternatively what 30 days would be worth in Cartel Coins (=about 1500). Giving 500 back once is nothing but a discounted price for one-month-sub. (This suggestion would be my least prefered, but since they only seem to work on the Cartel Market anyway, then at least this.) 4. Improving customer service to at least average level. (Yes, that again would benefit everyone, but I as a sub would still feel much appreciated.) So, these are my thoughts about it. Not that difficult to please, am I? 500 CC, that didn't make me happy though. I don't need the CC nor do I need more ingame credits. Edit: Forgot 5. Give subscribers the option to toggle off ALL enemies on planets lower than the current char's level (all enemies get yellow mark instead of red) IF all class missions and planet missions have been cleared already. (Storywise, I have killed these mobs all so I do not want to maybe get attacked by them again.) Not sure if this is well explained, but maybe you get the picture. I would really like such an option even if low-level mobs don't attack me when I am e. g. level 55. But not being red would ease my tension and awareness tremendously.

LordArtemis Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I would create a system similar to SWGs veteran system, available only for active sub time....loyalty rewards 1 month - title or toy 3 months - experience buff or emote 6 months - holo statue or pet 9 months - unique mount or species unlock 1 year - free pack, cartel coin grant or account unlock (your choice) And so on and so forth. Each milestone should have a set of items to choose from, and you can only choose one per account. If you reach the next milestone, you can choose any of the other milestone awards instead of the new milestone reward. It is up to you. Current total subscribed time since launch would count. You would have to be subbed to collect the awards. Edited July 8, 2013 by LordArtemis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionHalcyon Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 I criticized your ideas. You took my criticism and turned it into a personal attack. Why? Again, physician, heal thyself. You seem unable to take criticism of your ideas. Interesting that you now switched gears to the holier than thou route. But for the most part, you're engaging in straw man arguments. Sorry, but I politely decline to feed into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine-Elf Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) How? Easy. Take the achievement system back to its original form. I guess the link wasn't sufficient. I'll recap: make discontinued Cartel Market items obtainable for subscribers as achievement system rewards, the way they were originally intended to be.

DarthTHC Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think this thread is ample demonstration of why they chose to go with Cartel Coins. It's like trying to order a pizza in here. Once you have more than 2, you're not going to agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlymuppet Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 This one would be contentious. They could give each month, one change AC token (not available on the cartel store). That makes AC change available, but restricted. Might also get them to do some class balance changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNahash Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Again, physician, heal thyself. You seem unable to take criticism of your ideas.

Oh, I'm the one who seems unable to take criticism. That's funny, especially considering the fact that your initial response to my criticism was to insult me. But, OK.

Once you have more than 2, you're not going to agree... "I don't care if you're allergic to mushrooms -- I WANT THEM ON BOTH PIZZAS!" I suppose they could've given us multiple options -- like either: 500 CCs New skin mount Pet BoP Cartel Pack from Shipment 1 Choices are always good. Seems fewer people cry about them. But I still think your original idea was the best in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) The Subscriber Headset. A simple Headset with an earphone and microphone coming down across the face on the left side. Maybe add a few blinking lights, because people seem to like that. To my knowledge there is no modable version of this in the game. I have seen these for Companions as rewards from missions (on Tatooine) and I have found one purple non-modable version at level 25 (also on Tatooine). My level 55 Bounty Hunter's Mako still wears this because I cannot find a modable version. I personally would love to have such a modable Head piece, and it seems like something anyone could find a use for somewhere.

Projawa Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) 1. Goodie bag per month with tokens/etc 2. 2x experience boost toggle option once subscribers reach some threshold such as x legacy level or after x number of lvl50 toons. 3. No mod extraction fee 4. Hood toggle The 500 CC's was much appreciated (cash / gift certificates are better, simpler, and more flexible for both parties). I was just hoping for more.

Inflicktion Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's not even about thanking subscribers. I just wish they'd stop pushing us to see what we will/ won't accept in the CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lironBD Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 add more story content. 1 new content per month to justify the money I'm paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugattiboy Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) 1. HOOD TOGGLE 2. Mod extraction is free or VERY low. 3. Early access to new content before FTPs. 4. Daily roll box crate thing. Edited July 8, 2013 by Bugattiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altheran Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I'd give either : - a title (example : "The Loyal") - a pet (like tauntauns, something that has not been made yet, maybe a little collicoïd) - a toy (like Party Jawa, or ship models) - a color crystal (with a color that don't exist elsewhere) Basically anything that can be used to show off (and that is not in the CM).

CosmicKat Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 You go back in time and staple the CoX policy of game updates and community relations onto TOR before you even launch. In that alternate timeline, TOR has 10 million subscribers and WoW is selling Kung Fu Panda companions in their BlizzMart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KettleBelll Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I would take the money from the subs, and develop new content, every month. it's like they are buying a game every month. I would give it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well, I still think a milestone reward system for subs would be best, for players and for the company. It would possibly encourage players to keep subbed to the game, and also give them a unique perk at certain intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 That is the CoX loyalty program. Time machine, only way to fly. Yea, they had one as well. I think it is a good model to use, and it also encourages folks to keep subscriptions up. It almost becomes it's own minigame. Some of the rewards in SWG were really interesting and appealing.
