Throwback Packs

Recommended Posts

There's a lot of people who would like a better opportunity to acquire old cartel market items than just those stupid "grand" chance cubes. It'd be better to bring back the old packs and roll all the individual packs in each shipment into one "shipment" pack.

 

Instead of releasing all the packs at once, rotate "shipment packs" every week. Cartel, Contraband, Bounty, Starfighter, Stronghold, Shadow, and Explorer. Each "shipment pack" would have a chance of giving 7 items all from the various packs (at least 1 item from each) that came with the original shipment.

 

For example an Explorer "Shipment" Pack would contain items from:

- Core World's Explorer's Pack

- Deep Core Explorer's Pack

- Mid Rim Explorer's Pack

- Outer Rim Explorer's Pack

- Wild Space Explorer's Pack

 

This gives players old and new a chance at finally completing Revan's armor set or getting that nifty mount. It's a win-win idea.

This is a cool idea. The combined pack giving 7 items from any of the 4 explorer subpacks is an interesting idea. Or maybe every month they could do an "Explorer Week" which puts all 4 types back up for sale, so if I know I only want items from Core Worlds I can guarantee that?

How much would you expect a pack containing SEVEN items to cost?

 

Even the gold, silver and bronze packs only contained one item and they were over 1000cc's for the gold.

Lets say each pack contains one pet, one mount, one color crystal, one weapon, one piece/crate of armor, and one dye. While the odds of getting specific items that you want are greatly reduced from drawing from an entire shipment, it strikes a balance that should make for a CC cost of ~300 per pack. Ultimately cost is up to Bioware.

Something like that would probably be closer to 2000 CC

Even the original packs did not give "one pet, one mount, one color crystal, one weapon, one piece/crate of armor, and one dye" and those cost more than 300CC's.

 

I would not expect a pack containing "one pet, one mount, one color crystal, one weapon, one piece/crate of armor, and one dye" to go for any less than 1500 CC's and that would be a HUGE bargain, IMO.
