Kadin Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 They went a bit too far in the same way that giving birth hurts a bit. haha. Thanks for that good laugh. Too much seriousness I know, some laughter was very needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatninja Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 i agree completely. I understand that the mat drops were probably way too much but they could have replaced them with something else. The reputation items are a complete waste for someone whos maxed on contraband rep. Its ********. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdmaha Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So I see that these Slot Machines are a good way to gather resources along with Cartel Certs so I buy 3 hypercrates with Cartel Coins to finally get one. They then decide to make a mass overhaul to them effectively changing the item all together. So since this is nothing like what I got with my hypercrates, what are the options for getting my money back? Pretty sure they saw a great opportunity to get people to buy up crates and then once that slowed down, they change the most wanted item and claim it's due to customer feedback. Yeah, I don't buy it. Tell ya what BioWare, if I file a ticket, can you guys just take all the garbage items from these packs that are in my banks and refund my purchases? I can't see how this can be seen as anything other than completely ripping off the consumer. And yeah I know there are a lot of these threads and there needs to be more. This kind of stuff can't continue to happen. They need to stop baiting people into buying stuff then throwing the hammer at it. I know I wasn't forced into buying it, but I did because of the appeal and the fact that it sounded like Musco earlier said that they were working as intended and not being changed. At least not to this degree. Go cry to your fellow forums criers. Its their fault not BW it's also your fault because apparently you had a diffucult time reading his post. It clearly said they were looking at changing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceme Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 For you Naysayers and Trolls to this guys thread, all the Free H'orderves in the world are not going to change the mind of someone who feels swindled. so justify as much as like.. I'm with the OP, bought my packs after the machine was deemed non exploit. only took me 2 packs for mine though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khryn Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 No, you people didn't "buy the packs when you saw it was a good deal" (Paraphrased.) Even the guy above me said he bought mass amounts when it was deemed not an exploit. That means you were hesitant at first because it felt wrong. You got plenty of other items for sale in those packs. I've made some millions off of crystals and mounts from the ONE crate I bought. I also got a Slot Machine... But because I thought to myself "Bioware never nerfs anything slightly, this is gonna go into the toilet fast." If you didn't see this nerf coming and spent your entire paycheck trying to get an edge, you deserve to be swindled. You should have known it was going to be adjusted when it first blew up here. Now in time BW is going to adjust the rates, so just hold onto your pants. Or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktull Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 i feel like the original post bought an item with in-game credit, quite not cheap, and a week later the item is drastricly nerfed feel like if the Mustang I've bought has been removed for a Fiesta :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasthunt Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 We were, TC. Like many, I enjoyed the slots. It was a way for me to acquire something that I have spent 100's of real dollars on and not been able to obtain, so in true fashion I spent 4 mil to buy 2 machines today, not knowing about the drastic nerf.

SURPRISE! What did you spend hundreds of real dollars buying? That's weird. So you didn't even take a look at the patch notes today, or dropped by the forum since the Slot Machines were released? Because EVERYONE that has been here should have foreseen a change in the drop rates. There is no reason for people to not have known that going forward the drop rates were going to change. If Bioware has to come out and say it's not an exploit (which was their biggest mistake IMO. If they would have been mum about it and said they were investigating it, people wouldn't have been so eager to throw down a paycheck) then you know something is wrong. A little red flag should have gone up in your head saying "Hey, people are flooding the forums talking about how broken this is. Bioware has even had to comment on the drop rate. That probably means they are going to change it soon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XiamaraSimi Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) you mean there is something easier than sending a crew member out on a mission and then logging off to do your nails? This made me giggle since I have done -exactly- that... But yeah, its such an arduous task logging in a character for 30 seconds sending out companions on mission, then rinse and repeating with 15 more alts... After you've done it long enough you probably just do it on auto pilot... They went a bit too far in the same way that giving birth hurts a bit. And this made me laugh soda out my nose, it burns!

Pagy Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 prior to 3.0, bw was taking great strides. we had: strongholds' conquests 12x xp Post 3.0 it seems to be a complete and utter catastrophe we had: 3.0 released with massive bugs, revan bug, underwhelming, small amount of content ability lag ripped off early access players out of millions for training costs turning off the lights during the holidays and refusal to fix the ravagers exploit throwing gas on the fire for the ravagers exploit ultimate comm reduction the bait and switch slot machine our outlook? still no information regarding the ravagers exploiters still no outlook on ability lag fixes still no fixes for operations bugs more forum flame wars for 1 or 2 hot topics still no information on pvp updates still no information on broken classes great job, bioware!

Sinapus Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 prior to 3.0, bw was taking great strides. we had: strongholds' conquests 12x xp You forgot: "Tons of whingeing about how the game was broken and doomed." Which happened a lot pre-3.0, even with the release of the items you proclaim as wonderful about the game. This is just more of the same. I haven't had a chance to use the slots post-patch, so I can't make a reasoned opinion on the nerf quite yet. I can't really use all the complaints as a way to measure how bad it is though. Why? Because this happens over nearly every change, bug (minor or not) or whatever that comes along. So... great job, folks! I'm sure if you keep this up, the others will really believe there's a pack of wolves closing in this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
