Crayonn Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 40k is nothing at 25 and you get a warning to start saving at 20... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierk Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 That's a @$@#%^!@ outrage! 1. The amount is simply ridiculous and way too high. 2. With #1 being kept firmly in mind; SOME FREAKING WARNING WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE - maybe could have saved for it, instead of recently shelling out 20,000 credits for an extra row of baggage space. I just hit 25 for the first time and the game's just gone from being fun for the story and play's sake, to whoring for credits. Great job, Bioware. What really pisses me off as an old school gamer is knowing that the absurdity of this will sink into some thick producer's skull sometime down the line and the price will be lowered... lotta good that does the rest of us now. #1 lol@wowplayers #2 The skill is listed in the window at your skill trainer. I'm sure you looked at the entire list of skills you can learn from him? You had warning. #3 As an "old school" gamer you should be well aware that this game is no where near a currency whore as games from the early MMO times(i.e. RO, UO, FFXI, EQ, RS among others).

inseeisyou Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 There is a warning about saving credits!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunwindIon Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 it is fairly expensive i've been working on my Crew Skills and have taken my Armormech to level 210 which is consistent for my player level of 25 where i can create armor and etc for my appropiate level but I am seriously regretting it now as I can't even get a mount that nice purple shiny STAP is just sitting in my inventory... maybe you shouldn't have spent so much money levelling a crafting skill to 210 before level 25 then? you can't even use the stuff you make at 210, you're too low level.

Bombalurina Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 We'll just say.... your a moron. There is mounts in this game that cost 1.5 million credits. Suck it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnMrMustard Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 40k isn't bad. I'm at lvl 19 with 117k right now and I'm using all equipment at my level; mostly blues, a few purples, and the mods in my custom stuff are all blue. What are you sinking money into? Are you using the GTN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBODY said ANYTHING in general or in guild chat about the price of the mount, or you werent at least curious as to the price of it? And how is this anyones fault other than your own?

zuile Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Take slicing and don't craft til 50. I'm guessing OP was a prolific crafter too, I only was barely able to afford to buy speeder am now a slicer as I got just 6k credits at lvl28, too much FP and pvp.

SithFuseitana Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 If you go slicing you'll have a few hundred thousand credits by the time your lvl 25. Its very overpowered in credit making. I don't know if you're joking or what. I'm a slicer and it's definitely NOT overpowered. At level 30 I have barely 30K; and no, I don't buy everything at every vendor. Most profitable slicing missions return less than two hundred credits profit, many fail completely and even more lose credits. Slicing was OP during the first few days, but it's gone way underpowered since the second patch during EGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightspeed Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Take slicing and don't craft til 50. I'm guessing OP was a prolific crafter too, I only was barely able to afford to buy speeder am now a slicer as I got just 6k credits at lvl28, too much FP and pvp. you don't need slicing. I would have more then enough if I never crafted. But crafting isn't suppose to be end game only. So crafters have a choice, no crafting or no vehicle. Thanks bioware thats really crappy design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devida Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Pssh the price is fine. I didnt even have to farm for it. I had 48k at 25 no problem. I did have the common sense to find out how much id need tho. I remember in wow when the mount at 40 cost 90 gold. and I had to spend like a whole day killing these little *********** scorpions and **** just to get enough cash. So heres a PRO TIP for playing MMOs: Check ahead to see how much the mounts are going to be, and PLAN ACCORDINGLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellyfed Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I go from one thread where the OP says TOR isn't hard enough to another where it's too hard - something tells me BW got it exactly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortgon Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 1 - Stupid to throw away your money on the second expansion option on your bags at 20k - stupid! 2 - You get a warning at level 20 to START SAVING for mount - HOW Much clearer can it be?? 3 - 40k is easy at level 25 unless you are clueless as to how to play MMOs. 4 - Kids want it all for free nowaday - SWTOR is easy mode already not moan about making noobish errors to.

squiek Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 lol, i wasted all my money for crafting till lvl 22. then i started to collect credits and bought my speeder with lvl25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLuigi Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Think of 40,000 creds as like 40 gold in any other MMO Doesn't sting as hard seeing that as it stands right now I am spending 35K+ per skill training now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayLoud Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 lol, i wasted all my money for crafting till lvl 22. then i started to collect credits and bought my speeder with lvl25. This is what I have been doing. It's amazing how many credits you go through with Underworld Trading, only to reverse engineer your craft. It's just throwing money away. I'm 21 now, and I think I am going to start saving to 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjskull Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 No, it's not. You got a warning when you hit level 20. Unfortunately, it was a tutorial and anyone who turned off tutorials probably didn't see it. Oh, got it... That's why I did not see the stated warning. I am at Lvl 22, and have been spending pretty freely, and I only have about 12K. I have made 40K, 50K easy... I figure, though, at the rate creds are increasing, 40K will not be an issue by 25. However, while I don't think we need to be as dramatic as the OP, I also don't think you should *have* to read the forums to play the game. (Don't get me wrong, I love the forums, but they should be "extra", not "integral".) The 40K creds for vehicles represents a massive jump in skill cost relative to what the player has seen thus far at that point. It should be made pretty obvious that it's coming, not buried in a tutorial that anyone who has ever played an MMO turns off immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought so too, until I reached 25. I had to hold off on spending from level 23 or so but I had the money before I new it, and I've used the AH less than 10 times so far.

FerrusPA Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I'd really like to hear peoples strategies here. As I said: My slicer had a lot of money since that's what slicing does. With my Juggernaut I can barely keep aboive 20k because all the money I make from questing flows into buying new skills. So, essentially, "how I mine for creds"? Edit: Granted that all those amazing "lol I had 235346346 credits at lvl 9" types aren't, ya know, talking out of their behinds.

SithZigg Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It is relative; it is a substantial investment for some, and for others, it is pocket change. Just save up, and do some side quests, some PvP, or even do a space mission or two. Getting the credits is not overly hard, it all depends on how much effort you put into it.
