Jerba Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Woot, great news! I didn't really plan on playing during the holidays, but now I need to make sure I've got internet to at least log in and check out the CM. That's about all my laptop can handle... For anyone wondering, 11am CT is 5pm GMT, so 5 hours after server reset. Next sale starting in 21 hours, let's start building the hype train! Edit: As written on page 2, this sale is all about bringing back the old packs/hypercrates. Here's the full e-mail: http://ebm.em.ea.com/c/tag/hBUkfzkB7uvlmB8$UukNslQCT3y/doc.html Edited December 17, 2014 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDymond Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) we will also be posting here and on social media the items going on the Market that day. Courtney, can you clarify something here?: In the past, CM flash sales have only included items that were already available for CM purchase plus the occasional 'embargoed' item coming back. But the phrasing 'the items going on the Market' makes it sound like some items may be going up for sale that aren't normally present there. Is that just for the sake of including things like embargoed and normally Event-specific items (like Golden Scalene armor), or as some people seem to be assuming, will some of these sales be items that were never previously 'on the Market' (i.e. items normally in the Packs).

Jerba Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Haha, looks like Marketing did not get the memo. Way to ruin a surprise sale... I was hoping that we'd get sweet deals on some direct-sale items, but I have no interest in any old hypercrates. Never having taken a break from SWTOR longer than a week, I have all items from previous packs that interest me, so I'm going to skip on this unless there'll be some other deals. But still have fun to anyone still looking for those hypercrates! There are definitely more than 12 Hypercrates in-game, so they won't be bringing back all of them. The image in the e-mail only shows 7 icons. I haven't had time yet to figure out which packs they show, but we'll still need to find out about the other 5. Here's the full e-mail in case anyone did not get it: http://ebm.em.ea.com/c/tag/hBUkfzkB7uvlmB8$UukNslQCT3y/doc.html Celebrate Life Day with 250 CC Cartel Packs and 5,500 CC Hypercrates! Different packs will be on sale each day from December 18th to December 29th! Happy Life Day and May the ForceTM Be With You, Always.

Jerba Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Okay, found some additional information. http://instagram.com/p/wuW17rgyPg/ Peep it! Cartel Packs for 250CC (or less!) And Hypercrates for 5400CC (or less) December 19 - 29. There will be two different packs on sale per day (except Dec. 24, 25, 26)! #swtor #theoldrepublic #biowareaustin #mmo #cartelmarket which is a screenshot of the events page: http://www.swtor.com/sites/all/files/en/gameupdates/2014LifeDay/2014LifeDay_NEWS_04.png CARTEL MARKET DAILY DEALS: DAILY DISCOUNTS ON CARTEL PACKS AND HYPERCRATES EACH DAY FROM DEC. 18 - 29. LEVEL: Varies by item Celebrate Life Day with 250CC (or less) Cartel Packs and 5,400CC (or less) Hypercrates! Different packs will be on sale each day from December 18th to December 29th! For Daily Deal details, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter! Already, there is a ton of misinformation... E-mail says 5,500 CC, in-game events page says 5,400 CC. E-mail says December 18-29, Instagram says 19-29. Looks like this deal was put together at the last minute or something. It looks like there will be a total of 2 * 12 - 3 = 21 packs on sale. There are a total of 29 packs in-game, of which 5 are still available. Which leaves 24 packs that could come up during the sale. So my guess is that all of the packs except for the Nightlife packs and some other pack will be part of the sale. The only question is in which order they'll come...

Jerba Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Alright, I identified all seven of the packs they showed in the images (1 / 2). From front to back, they are: N.1 Star Cluster’s Nightlife Pack1.1 Black Market Cartel Pack1.4 Skip Tracer’s Cartel Pack5.1 Builder’s Stronghold Pack2.3 Vice Commandant’s Contraband Pack3.1 Freelancer’s Bounty Pack4.1 Wingman’s Starfighter Pack So I guess they will bring out the packs from oldest to newest, but it's hard to know for sure. Also, it's interesting that the Nightlife Pack is on the list, since in my previous post I assumed it can't be part of the sale if they want to sell only 21 packs. So in that case, two other packs will be missing. To recap, here's a list of the 21 sales: December 18th: Unknown 1 and Unknown 2December 19th: Unknown 3 and Unknown 4December 20th: Unknown 5 and Unknown 6December 21th: Unknown 7 and Unknown 8December 22th: Unknown 9 and Unknown 10December 23th: Unknown 11 and Unknown 12December 24th: Unknown 13December 25th: Unknown 14December 26th: Unknown 15December 27th: Unknown 16 and Unknown 17December 28th: Unknown 18 and Unknown 19December 29th: Unknown 20 and Unknown 21 And here's a list of the 24 packs that could come up during the sale: Black Market Cartel PackCrime Lord’s Cartel PackBlockade Runner’s Cartel PackSkip Tracer’s Cartel PackSpace Pirate’s Cartel PackEnforcer’s Contraband PackRegulator Contraband PackVice Commandant’s Contraband PackArchon’s Contraband PackSupreme Mogul’s Contraband PackFreelancer’s Bounty PackContractor’s Bounty PackPursuer’s Bounty PackTracker’s Bounty PackOpportunist’s Bounty PackWingman’s Starfighter PackDogfighter Starfighter PackGalactic Ace’s Starfighter PackSpace Jockey’s Starfighter PackHotshot’s Starfighter PackStar Cluster’s Nightlife PackClub Vertica Nightlife PackBuilder’s Stronghold PackGatekeeper Stronghold Pack Feel free to mix and match to find the best fit.

Jerba Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Okay, I've got another theory on how the sale works. If we include the five packs that are already available, we have a total of 29 packs. The first pack of each shipment is for the most part identical to the second pack of the shipment, so maybe the first packs will be not part of the sale. In that case, we are left with 23 packs. If we also take away the two Nightlife packs, we land at 21 packs, which would fit the sale perfectly. Under that theory, the following packs will be part of the sale: Crime Lord’s Cartel PackBlockade Runner’s Cartel PackSkip Tracer’s Cartel PackSpace Pirate’s Cartel PackRegulator Contraband PackVice Commandant’s Contraband PackArchon’s Contraband PackSupreme Mogul’s Contraband PackContractor’s Bounty PackPursuer’s Bounty PackTracker’s Bounty PackOpportunist’s Bounty PackDogfighter Starfighter PackGalactic Ace’s Starfighter PackSpace Jockey’s Starfighter PackHotshot’s Starfighter PackGatekeeper Stronghold PackConstable’s Stronghold PackSeneschal’s Stronghold PackArchitect’s Stronghold PackPilgrim's Shadow Pack However, it wouldn't make sense why the nightlife pack is shown as the front image, if the nightlife packs are not part of the sale (false advertisement etc.) Hm, anyone have a better idea? Anyway, off to bed, 16 hours until the sale starts. HYPE HYPE Edited December 18, 2014 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
