Dark vs. Light Event

He's asking if you are getting paid to speak glowingly of the event. The grammar/syntax of the sentance was odd, but that's the gist. Edited June 27, 2016 by Nothing_Shines

*nod* Just remembering that they are human too (flaws and all) so just give it some time. But if its midnight...yeah we arnt getting anything lol.

 

It's 3:30 eastern so that makes it 2:30 central so my odds are not receiving any responses and that they are gone into hiding so they don't have to answer the questions.

I'm sorry! But, I was wrong, it was pointed out to me that we need to do the earlier tier, to move on to the next. :/ Good thing is, the companion should still, be fairly easy to get. Up to the Eternal tier, the challenges seem to lead up to it.

 

 

 

Oh, hey look another person who feels the need to speak for everyone! Just because I want to defend this even (yeah, I think it'll be good, so what?) then it automatically makes it a travesty! Good to know. Maybe I just don't care, then again, I'm someone, who to this day still watches the story cut scenes. But good to know, that you feel like you can speak, on my behalf, as well as insult me, and others like me. Good for you.

 

How am I talking on your behalf?

 

I called this event a travesty, I didn't say because you were defending it, that made it a travesty, that they call a list of old content an event is why I think its a travesty. Perhaps you can explain what there is to defend without simply having a go a people for imagined slights of talking for you.

 

I will make it clear though in case you unsure 'I am not speaking for TyonYlle I have no idea what his views are in relation to this event and do not in any way wish to suggest that my thinking this event is a travesty is speaking for him. Nor do I wish to suggest that his participation in this event should be required for him to defend it. Nor would I like him to feel that I am ever speaking for him or anyone else. That any posts that I may proffer possible reasons is just that possible reasons in order to articulate certain points of view to then allow a rebuttal of them'

 

So hopefully now you can explain how a list of old achievements which when complete are rewarded by some random goodies from the cartel market and xp boasting armor is a good event. What you think are the high points of the event and what you think the devs could improve, maybe what you think this event brings to existing players and how it may help fill a gap in the game. Maybe you can explain if its purely reward driven behavior and all about the shinnies. Maybe how it effects players who were around in 1.2 legacy patch in which everyone was encouraged to create alts to explore the game stories some four years and did so.

 

But please be under no mistake I am not looking for skirting this issue with indignation over me speaking for people or that if I don't like the event I must be a cry baby or winger or hater. I am genuinely interested in finding out what people that defend this 'event' find so amazing about it and are willing to defend it despite it appearing that the development team are not putting in a fraction of the effort to defend this 'event.'

im not a natural born english speaker so some words maybe are not correct

I just can't wait to read about how much of a success this was and how much players loved the event.

Yes, maybe Charles Boyd can tell us again. I think he did an excellent job of telling us how much we love KotFE.

That is when I shake me head on that and wonder what universe they are in and I really like to see how the next stream is going to go.

[RoxasYagami]

new question I think. do we have to do the tiers in order to get the rewards for them. it looks like the eternal tier requirements could be done before completing the champion tier requirements. hence why i ask

Not a new question and honestly no one is sure other than the one thing Eric answered on twitter.

@musco @swtor Do you have to complete the previous tiers to qualify for Legendary level?

 

@badfeelingpdcst @SWTOR Correct. You must complete the previous tier to complete the next tier.

"I had a question regarding the Light vs Dark Event.

Do I need to complete the Vailant Level to gain progress in the Champion Level? For example, if I reach Valor Rank 5 before I've completed the Valiant Level, will I need to reach Valor 5 again when I start the Champion level, or not? Plese ask if it was something you didn't understand in the text (English is not my Main Language)."

 

(Sorry I have already posted this, but I'd like to get more answers to be certain).

 

You shouldn't. Each tier is separate, so you can do any tier from any order, but I highly doubt it'll be easy - aka like doing Champion before Valiant. They're just giving us six chances(tiers) to get packs/rewards during this event. I know for sure some people, such as myself, are going for all six.

[AlienEyeTX]

To be fair, there are many things I like about KotFE.

 

I like getting bits at a time so that the story isn't blown through in a week or two and then the thumb-twiddling starts.

 

I like that we got a long story.

 

I like that we now have good reasons to visit old planets.

 

I do not like:

 

One force-user-centric story.

 

Level sync.

 

Lack of additional content*.

 

 

 

*Unless they drop an Op, daily zone, and good WZ immediately at the end of Season 1.

 

 

***EDIT***

 

Oh, yeah... my biggest peeve of all: Non-customizable companions!

No one is actually sure of that due to Eric's answer on twitter.

Doesn't doing one tier just help build up to the next?

You would think but until there is a good answer on this it just another one of those maybe it works that way or maybe it doesn't. They should honesty answer this and I mean before it goes live and there is more forum mess.

[Costello]

Oh yeah the live stream will say how the forum has been a buzz with anticipation of the event and how we are all looking for to it.

 

While Charles can say how this event is the best yet, with indepth story and how choices really matter!

Then they better lock down the stream comments p.

For D/L achievements aren't retroactive. Only achievements completed with characters made after 4.6 goes live count towards getting the D/L rewards. Does something done with a D/L character count towards the non-D/L achievement?

 

For example, a player ran the Mandolorian Raiders TFP 8 times before 4.6. Then creates a D/L character and does the Mando TFP once on that toon. That one time on the D/L character counts towards the Champion tier (if all criteria for the tier is met), but will that player also advance their non-D/L Mando TFP count by one, to 9?

[Osgorion]

No real Response here, but they do have the time to start sweeping under the carpet.

 

When LEGIT THREADS that were placed in answer to this Farce are silently being moved off-topic where they can die a Silent Death away from too many witnesses.

I would think so.

I doubt they will. They obviously have beans for brains and I'm sure they'll get called out for their lies this time.

[Nmyownworld]

I would think so.

I'm wondering since achieves on non-D/L characters are locked out. Will it work the other way around, too? Hopefully some questions will be answered by Devs. It's near the end of the third work day since posting info about D/L, and there's been nothing from the Devs on D/L except a few posts from Eric Musco on June 23.

 

If this thread gets unstickied without a Dev response, well, that's an answer in itself.

[DarthEnrique]

Adding insult to injury is that for largely solo questing people are getting access to these armor sets at all, that others of us paid real money for a chance to acquire. If these boxes are made largely irrelevant by their almost never dropping certain parts of the sets, being BoP, and not account unlockable even if you manage to collect it all, at least that would be some consolation. If they cheapen our rarest CM items I can't justify remaining subscribed in the face of such an insult.

 

I really have no sympathy for that. "Paid real money for a chance to acquire."? This so called "event" is giving the same chance as any other pack on the Cartel Market so it should be treated no different.

 

Let me put it to you like this: I already have the Revan Reborn Armor Set. I unlocked it to my account. If I got the entire set again because of this event I'd rather give it to my bf who wants it then destroy it.

They did more than move things to Off-Topic. But that's all I can mention... non-specifically.

That's the point, these 'packs' aren't from the Cartel Market; they're rewards for largely solo questing, which wouldn't be a bad thing if they'd leave our cash shop items out of it. It all depends on the drop chances and restrictions on these rare items I guess, but making a cash shop for exclusive items and then turning around and handing them out like candy is unacceptable.

 

How would you feel if you went out and bought an expensive Porsche very few people can afford, and then the next day the dealership announces a huge giveaway of a million of them to anyone who completes a simple list of tasks? Not one person who bought one before then wouldn't feel jipped, either out of the money because they found out they didn't have to pay it had they just waited, or of the exclusivity because now everyone has one. It's exactly the same thing here.

 

Most games keep their cash shops and main game rewards separate because they respect their paying customers. Until now, SWTOR was the same way. Guess it's back to WoW where Blizzard knows and respects the difference between the two.

But these aren't event exclusive items, they are items that have been available for 1+ years. To even call them exclusive to this event just shows how blanetly stupid this event was put together to put items that have been around for years plus recent pack items in these packs as possible drop items is NO different then buying a pack on the CM and having the same damn results. You get a possiblity of Upper, Lower, and Supplementary or the other items listed or not listed (as it does say "And More!"). You do NOT get a full armor set in the drop from my understanding, you get one of the three boxes and that's it it. So say you get 5 packs and you don't get all the parts to the armor set, just one, I'm not even saying it has to be an armor set you want, then you get the 10 pack and you don't get anymore of the parts. Or say you get the same drop everytime, highly unlikely but a good possibity.

 

So you are saying that's okay? Ha! I laugh at thee.

 

Also I find it insulting that you have the audacity to not even look at what I'd do with the Revan Reborn Armor Set if I got it again and who I'd give it to. Are you that heartless? I can't do something nice for my bf if the chance that I could arised. Sheesh this game is mesed up...
