Snordek Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 - When meant something, The only thing this ever meant was that the poster had been granted special permission by BioWare to complain on the forums about the CE Vendor. I kid, I kid... Good list, though. I still have my Champion Lightsaber. It popped out of the first bag I ever opened. The RNG was strong with me that day.

Tsillah Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When this game wasn't fail2play and being boasted as forever p2p It's what it should've been. F2P and the CM saved this game though after they made some big mistakes. So sad as it is that F2P was added it was what needed to happen after Bio failed big time last year. It's the players who lost out but at least BW did it in a way that didn't destroy the game as such. And perhaps it's time to let go of all this whining about what happened then. Just realise this game will never be SWG and that in general the game has improved dramatically since last year. No point to keep crying over spilt milk as they say. Obviously you are still subbed, so if it's fail2play as you call it, why are you still paying a sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTHC Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) My fondest memory from this game is still the first time I got that first ship. Total immersion there. That was back in game test though. Fond memories from shortly after retail. Back when I was in a raiding guild... and when there were a lot of raiding guilds. Getting up early on the first day of early access to reserve my character names. Got 'em all. Now, after all the server merges and such, I have them all back but one. Good times.

Wintermist Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I remember how excited I was when I first earned my lightsaber. I remember how sad I was when I first noticed how many others have earned their first lightsaber. (Take it as a joke, I just remember SWG and the first time I saw a Jedi there, it was a very special moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Gathering on Hoth with my guild to do the world boss and it bugging out on us. Was still fun. Grinding bags hoping for the purple main hand and bring stoked after 14 straight nothing bags and my last 5 tokens were belts and bracers but getting the saber was a moment of joy. Early access hoping I got the 6AM invite. All the activity on the the starting planets and 4 Jugs smashing Black Talon. Your first Huttball realizing what an awesome concept they created (during beta) and jumping from level to level with force charge. Good times.

Darth_Wicked Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When Consulars were running around in those hideous Tionese/Columi/Rakata armors. I still do truth be told and I love my Rakata Survivor and Stalker armor sets. - - - - Either way, the game came a long way since it was first released to the general public and even though I can hardly agree with the overall direction... I'm still here, so that must mean something I guess. Overall, I just miss that excitement of NOT knowing what was around the corner, whenever I traveled to any given planet, for the next stage of the storyline... That and my uncertainty about beating the enrage timer on Gharj. Damn, how I hated that one back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Remember when: -You couldn't abandon tons of quests and they would sit and clog up your quest log -Your healing companion turned you green -Soa would fly you through the air and then drop you on top of a stack of lightning balls that were waiting for you -Repair bills from Ops could cost you 250k credits and you made none in the process -Nobody got Sprint until level 14, nobody got speeder piloting until 25 and it cost you about 40k for the training, at level 40, 100% speeder training costs 210k credits, and at level 50, 110% speeder training costs 330k credits and there were no adaptive speeders or particularly cheap ones. -You would have to wait 10 minutes to revive if you died too many times or go back to a med center -You couldn't use your speeder in many large open spaces, such as spaceports, EV, Hoth and Belsavis bases, etc. ps - I think I still have my banana hands Edited December 13, 2013 by chuixupu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
