discbox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 For a limited time period that is. You can have 50 of every decoration. Pay 50 Credits and don't care when it is gone... you don't need it anymore, you have max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddballEasyEight Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thank you folks for bringing this to our attention. As you have guessed it is unfortunately not in this pack as indicated in the Decorations UI. As Screaming Ziva guessed, due to this error we will be placing the Slot Machine: Smuggler's Gambit on the Binary Star Realty reputation vendor for 1 credit at some point in the future. I do not have exact timing on when this will happen but as soon as I know specifics I will let you know. Just like the Republic Voss Embassy Sign, this item will only be available through the vendor for a limited time. I will post timing as soon as I have it. Thanks everyone. -eric Awesome! That means I can turn my Nar Shaddaa stronghold into a genuine casino now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPilot Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Since you'll be putting the Slot Machine on the vendor, could you bring the Voss Republic sign back too? And not for a limited time? We can still get the Emergency Medical Table and the Mood: Outraged, and that is very awesome. It would be a hugely goodwill-generating to keep the decorations on the Binary Star vendor for the future, too. For those who say "once you have 50, why do you need more?" 1) I didn't realize the cap was 50, I only got 30 of the Voss sign. I know I'm not alone. I just ran back to pick up the other 20 and saw it's already gone. 2) Not everyone even knew the items were there, so a huge proportion of the population missed out. Having it up there permanently will generate the benefit for everyone. There are a LOT of great decorations that people will keep paying cartel coins for. Putting some cool decorations out there like this really makes Bioware look like good, and cut back on the "milking us for cartel coins" perception. 3) You can't unlock these things for the guild after you collected them for yourself. There is still a market for the "regular" ones for Guild purposes. Edited September 19, 2014 by RedPilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrodieSolo Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I bought about 5 stacks of the Voss Republic Embassy sign thinking I'd make a few creds a little way in the future. It wasn't until I decided to sell a couple that I realised the flaw in my plan! I went to the vendor just before logging off on the last day they were available, did the tooltip say they were BoP? I won't be making that mistake this time. ...actually I'm perfectly capable of it so I'd better be careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thmsleon Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Am I the only one it somewhat bothers that, "We" or the "OP" needed to bring this to their attention? Don't misunderstand, their remedy was the correct thing to do, as they have in the past...but the slot machine was a major reason myself and I am confident others, spend "real money" to purchase crates and packs. I'm not sure if anyone else agrees with my view, but it seems very suspicious that after it is released, one of the most sought after items, just happen to not be included in the pack. I'm not sure about other people career's, but if I just happened to "forget" my student's exams, or omit to give them one...not once but multiple times (the past two packs), I am fairly confident then next semester I would not be teaching...then again Bioware may have a form of tenure also? lol I am happy about the outcome, but imo, it should not have been an issue at the start.

They even announced that they were removing it the day before. If people missed out on the Voss signs that's their own fault. I will however agree that they should make them available for guild flagships as I know my guild planned on having a game room and these slot machines would be a great addition.

This isn't a matter of "fault", it's a matter of the people who control the availability of something evaluating whether it best serves their product to expand the availability (something we can't do for them, we don't have their metrics).

Theres also the matter of the first flub with the Republic Voss signs was that they weren't the same graphic. You can still get the Republic Voss signs from the pack. Bound to even cheaper too, now that most everyone grabbed it from the vendor. On the other hand, the Slot Machine wasn't put into the pack at all. Barring them going back and fixing it... These I could see being a permanent thing like the Outraged Mood and Emergency Medical Table, as those we're supposed to be in the Bounty Pack and weren't.

Kremsau Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Anyone know how they will make this information available? I only caught the Voss sign by checking coincidentally.

Kremsau Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Did you not read Eric Musco's post? Allow me to rephrase the question. How was the community alerted about the Voss Flag?

OddballEasyEight Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Cant be that rare seen 14 in one stronghold on Nar Shadda.... 1: That's a nice nekro. 2: It's not the same slot machine as the one that dropped in the latest pack if that's what you think. 3: They put them up for sale at a vendor for 1 credit each... lots of people bought them. I bought 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
