Staavis_SC Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Call me cynical but: 1. Subscription fees are going to $34.99/month. 2. Monthly Cartel Coin alotments are being retired. 3. Subscribers get to keep their companions, but none of them can be customized anymore. 4. Non-subscribers lose their companions. Now pay to unlock, per companion. Yep, I'm a charmer.

I wouldn't put that past them. Add in a paywall to unlock gear slots. 450 cc per slot per character, subs get mainhand weapon, chestpiece, leggings, and boots for free.

Joefjr Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 My guess is a BB-8 pet. Or as a companion, but yeah its gona be something related to the movie most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfranco Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Ranked season 7 begins, maybe a rewards teaser as well. Thats my best guess. Edited: Wait was ranked subscriber only? Edited November 30, 2015 by Tfranco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not being cynical, you just being stupid. I have no love for Bioware or EA, but not even they are that greedy and retarded to try and pull something like this.

Nathan_Cousland Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 How about giving us a terminal so we can fix our own broken romance flags? That and let us replay the cutscenes that we missed because of your damn bugs. A way to replay old storyline content, period, would be pretty neat.... but yes, that bug. FIX IT!

DarthScruffy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 My guess: free PTS for Chapter X (the story portion) on 12/3. The timing would work and Bioware has closed beta'd ALL of its story material. That would qualify as "unprecedented". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskala Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Maybe the story writers are involved because they finally made it to write a story for an entirely new class?! + I expect to hear something about 'better than cross server". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm actually quite excited. This mmo is pretty darn well rounded now. It ticks every box in terms of content and still has the best presented story. Hopefully the movie will get more people into this. I hope Bioware and EA advertise this game alongside it somehow. PS: I've just come back to this (last time I played was pre-Makeb) and the sheer amount of content and improvements are staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirandel Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Did someone already mentioned a possibility of a novel\comics available only to subscribers? Chapter a month or something? And there the moment you drop subscription you loose access to it? Would be fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Well, I would like to see, as I have probably mentioned already, a Veteran Rewards system. The idea would be that you would received a reward for every month you have subbed. The reward would be monthly, 3 month, and one year rewards. For the monthly reward, something like 700 cartel coins. The quarterly reward should be something like account unlocks and another 1000 coin reward. Perhaps extra slots, character transfer, rename, that sort of thing. The yearly reward should be a big one, perhaps one stronghold unlock set for free, legacy unlocks free, account wide costume unlock, free packs, etc and 2000 coins. All rewards would be retroactive but would be based on ACTUAL sub time, not the amount of time that has passed since launch. This way the reward directly corresponds with the monthly sub paid. I would also add that you would have to be subbed to collect the reward. It would not have the ability to be collected by players that are in F2P/Preferred status at the moment.

SFDebris Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Personally I'm hoping they announce that you'll have additional uses for your massive number of companions; while I enjoy crafting, there's plenty more ideas for what they could be getting up to instead of hanging out drinking at the Alliance Base. Pie in the sky would be something akin to the endgame of Mass Effect 2 where your companions will serve various roles in a major event of some kind ("Pierce and Rokuss, guard the way behind us, Nico, slice the systems, Talos and HK sweep for booby traps and security systems....")

Jedi_riches Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Given how much they are hyping it on Twitter, you really have to wonder what it is they think they have that will wow all us subscribers. I can't help but think whatever it is must be overhyped by now. Its possible the pessimist in me is doing this, but I cant help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makillda Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Due to the unprecedented success of the system in Warlords of Draenor, we are implementing Alliance Missions!

Your Alliance can even accomplish these incredible things while you are offline. Coming soon to Star Wars: The Old Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krikos Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 After they turned crafting into Connect 4 and their major screw-up of the companions, I don't trust them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floredon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 most likely early release of the next story chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuhu Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) When is comes to subs..u always see some F2P that think they should have the same benefits as subs.. hehe, to u F2P it is the subs that pay for the game it is the subs that use credits in Cartel Market Sow u see, u can never get the same benefits..u're just a item of expenditure. Edit: a free HK from level 1 like Nico would be nice. Edited November 30, 2015 by IngeDanielsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHboy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have a feeling many people are going to be very disappointed when they finally do the announcement. there is nothing like peoples own imagination to feed the hype and then complain when something doesn't meet your obscenely high expectations. as has been said, I'd put good money on it being the announcement for the next story chapter.

I could not agree more DOH. The number of unrealistic ideas is quite comedic tbh. I think our best bets are: • Early access/release of chapters • Subscriber rewards Anything beyond those 2 ideas seems unrealistic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are some high expectations ITT. Curb that guys. If you expect a recolored pet, and get more than that, awesome. If you expect a new race for subs and the ability to customize the KOTFE comps as the reward, you're gonna be one sad sack come tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our best bets are: • Early access/release of chapters • Subscriber rewards Anything beyond those 2 ideas seems unrealistic to me. /agreed. Although BW's not exactly blameless with the repeated tweets hyping it up. And it's not like they haven't been burned by this sort of thing in the past - couple years ago they announced in advance a subscriber appreciation reward that turned out to be like 500 free CCs. If they had just done that with little or no fanfare then I think most people would have been "cool! that's really nice", but because they had hyped it up ahead of time there were even some relatively pro-BW people who used the term "slap in the face" unironically over it. (I still think calling 500 CCs a slap in the face was ridiculous, but if you're a company then you should be accounting for even the ridiculous responses as long as they are predictable.)
