mcrmorgan Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) "CURRENT PLAYERS Build your legacy!

Just to clarify, will I get the speeder if I am already a subscriber, or would I need to unsubscribe and re-sub in order to receive these items? The latter seems like a silly idea (for lack of a better description).

ZoiN Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I personally just resubbed yesterday, I got the cartel points, and the pet thing, yet I didden't recieve any speeder at all (and I have been absent from the game for a very long time) - so that really sucks - not sure wether its a bug that I diddent get it, or if its just me who's misunderstood something.

kidatwood Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 It's not been handed out yet. I don't think any of these rewards have been handed out as of yet. As of oct. deadline that's when we get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymlan Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The way it's set up is you get the speeder and the droid if you subbed between now and october 20th, but only if on october 20th your subscription is still active. So if you were hoping to sub for one month and unsub, you're out of luck. You should've waited at least another week, then. It's all there. Hidden in a massive brick of fine print. Not a very endearing tactic, but whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thellorms Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Ehh, just let me get this straight. I resubbed yesterday after about a 5 month break or so. So what your saying, is that as long as my sub is active on or till October 20th, I get the pet and the mount? I didn't get a damn thing yet and was just about to send a ticket in about it. I'm confused how this works (and I imagine others might be as well). Kinna lame if you have to wait until Oct. 20 to reap the reward. Edit: In the source linked by the OP, it says "BY October 20th". If this is the case, why aren't we seeing the rewards in the mailbox?Edit 2: After reading Sambril's post a little more clearly, I think I got it. We get to wait. -.- Edited September 18, 2013 by Thellorms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah, the fine print says you need to be subscribed on October 20th, so it only makes sense that we'd get it after that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMFTF Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 This link http://www.swtor.com/join-the-battle-rewards says : the items will be delivered within 10 business days after the end of the promotion, key words being "after the end". So looks like somewhere around the 30th or so, we'll see them in our in-game mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noyoki Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 just got mine. for some reason cant use/equip/have it in speeder list.. but i have it! its an item in my backpack and when i right click it or do anything with it, it says does not have skill.. my other speeders have no issue. just this one. do i have to wait for a specific time for it to unlock and use?

oyrathor Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just logged into my account and also found the rewards but just like the previous poster I can't use the speeder. The reason I'm being given is that I lack the skill. Seems like the same problem that one of the recent cartel pack Rarks (or maybe some other type) had.

Roalmo Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yes the speeder is bugged, only seems to work on level 55s. My level 50s/48s/46s can't use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyRaven Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yes the speeder is bugged, only seems to work on level 55s. My level 50s/48s/46s can't use. That's odd. My 41+'s can use it fine. They have speeder piloting 3. If it requires that it should have text to reflect that. All my *free* speeders said is must be lvl 10 to use this. Maybe they will fix soon.

Giliathriel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I was only able to use is on one character, my lvl 49 with speeder piloting 3. She's the only one with rank 3, everyone else just has one or two. They couldn't use it. While not game breaking, it's still a bit frustrating.

Stosh_Cowski Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I signed up, I believe on 9/13/2013 & have been waiting patiently for my speeder & pet. It's now 10/29 (almost 10/30) and I haven't gotten anything yet. Will this come via email or in-game mail? If in-game mail, what character? Has this bug been fixed that says only level 55's can ride the speeder? What gives? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalacticKegger Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Yes the speeder is bugged, only seems to work on level 55s. My level 50s/48s/46s can't use.BW's answer from a similar thread: We have isolated the issue. Currently the mount requires Speeder Piloting 3 to use, which was not intended. You should be able to use the mount with only Speeder Piloting 1. We will work to have a fix for this in our next Update! We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience until the bug is fixed. -eric Cheers!

CryTech Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 So has this speeder been removed from the game or something? Is there any way to get it anymore? I've not been a subscriber since a few months after the release of Rise of the Hutt Cartel, simply because there hasn't been enough content in the game, but now that I'm back and playing I've seen a few people using this speeder and ever since the launch of the game I've always thought it would be awesome if they made the taxi service speeders into personal speeders, which this now kind of is. Anyone have any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghoul_drool Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Afraid you missed it. But don't worry, the exact same model is available as a GSI seeker droid reward (just get the parts on the gtn, it's called the Explorer) or the Hyroti from a recent Cartel Pack has the same model as well. Plus, I've heard rumors that the Hutt Cartel were behind the 'free' distribution of these things and have actually put a tracking device in each and every one to spy on both the Imperials and the Republic....I'd be careful!

CryTech Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I see. I will do some research on the Explorer then. Thanks for the speedy reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
