Holocron Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not ungrateful, I think it's a poorly thought out event. Much like a poorly designed $5 handbag you buy off the street. looks good from a distance, until you inspect it closer. The alternative is nothing. Id rather have something. The event is not some right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially using rewards that people spent hundreds to thousands to obtain in game, from the CM which is pretty stupid tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMagus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 0 out of 10, cancelling my subscription, but oddly enough the online account management for cancelling is broken. Nice.... it's like they knew that this would cause a problem and made it impossible to cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The alternative is nothing. Id rather have something. The event is not some right. The alternative is to actually create something NEW. This game isn't a gift to us, it's a service we PAY for...right now, the investment we make, which should go towards development, is obviously NOT going there. This is, by far, the laziest attempt to pretend there's something "new" that I've ever witnessed. EVER!!! Our money isn't a right either...nor is our loyalty...plenty of people prove that daily lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikinai Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The alternative is nothing. Id rather have something. The event is not some right. No, the alternative would be making an event that works for the entire player base. And yes, that lovely little 'it's not a right', yup, your right it isn't a right. So what? Wouldn't you rather have something that works for everyone, instead of a specific set of players? Or do you not care about the other players who have been here for 4 and a half years and see this event as disregarding them? Nothing for the loyal players who have put countless hours into their main characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 0 / 10, or maybe -10 / 1000000000. The idea that we're going to create new characters from scratch for this, or that we're going to play those characters out LS or DS just to get some "rewards"... whatever. Not bothering with this any more than I'm bothering with KotFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theeko Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Don't forget the LS / DS packs contain the real $ items that people spent hundreds - thousands to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ksilvante Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 -5000 for the laziest 'event' yet. My brother unsubbed as this is complete poodoo for veteran players. I think I'm going to give Fallout 4 a shot, I just cannot get happy about this dreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floplag Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 idea - 10, i think its good to tie all the various aspects of the game together into an achievement like this implementation - negative freaking 1 million. Its unfathomable how they could screw over long time players in this manner and not consider that many of us do not have available character slots.

Costello Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 So, here is the point that most people are really missing here. There doesn't have to be an event at all! This is just pure gratis for us, but everyone is ungrateful. No one said they had to do any event, but if it is something fun and extra for us to do, and we get rewarded too boot, then I say bring it on. They are doing this because they have no new content until season 2 drops and they want you to keep paying. This is not out of the goodness of their hearts they are a business and want $$, do they have to do this hell no and I would rather they didn't. Everything a veteran player has achieved is ignored because they want to have them keep paying to repeat content they already competed months or years ago. If it wasn't about bribing idiots to repeat content as if it was a replacement for new then they would allow retroactive achievements. But they know there are idiots out there living in their parents basement claiming benefits that will keep subbing to repeat the content and if they allowed existing achievements in that person may realize they already had met the requirement and didn't need to regrind 8 characters and would stop subbing. This is bribe and not an event, so do they need to bribe people to repeat 5 year old content, sure they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just long time players, but those that also supported the game buying the CM packs as well, they're basically giving free CM packs in game that people spent good $ on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuaRya Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 1 out of 10. The 1 represents the rewards as that is all the content being created. Encouraging us to abandon our now useless stable of toons and create 8 new ones which we'll most likely delete is a travesty. We are made to cannibalize ourselves like the cultures of Easter Island. Our fully decorated strongholds and guildships monuments fading in the dust. That's great come November some of you have the new companion and tank but guess what your guild since launch is now defunct so you have nobody to show off your toys to. Looks like EA has been taking all the money made with our cartel pack purchase and funneling it into Visceral's Star Wars project. This would perfectly explain the diminishing retrograde aspect of L v D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sithlordschmidt Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Meh, 5/10. It's lazy and I'm disappointed that there isn't any actual content introduced (beyond the new datacrons). OTOH, I do not feel insulted by the "event" the way that many others seem to. IMO, it doesn't in any way take anything away from the game, it just fails to add much new other than some swag (some of which does sound kind of cool). I'll probably play along and roll a new toon or two, but there's no chance I'll worry about the highest tier. And, honestly, that's ok with me. But it's certainly nothing to get excited about.

The ones that pump the most money into the game are, and their values are much different then our values as vest. Things change, so we can either adapt or get left behind, but either way, you can vote your displeasure with your wallet. I'll sit and wait for you to make your decision, cause otherwise it just rightless complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really so much for the ones that spent the $ on the game as well cause they're giving CM rewards for this event, which I highly disagree with and I bet many others as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay for the service, I take umbrage that they would thoughtlessly throw away a revenue source. You can sit and do what you like, as can I. I can tell them about a mistake they are making. You choose to think that people leaving the game is good for it, I do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So those that have been around since launch, not counting if they purchased the DDE, CE or whatever, who have spent over $800 per account, many of which also purchase CC on a regular basis aren't the targeted demographic? If they aren't a high consideration then something is definitely wrong. And who does that leave? New players? Free to Play or Preferred players? Yeah, they've really spent a lot on the game, haven't they? Edited June 24, 2016 by PorsaLindahl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOne Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 0/10 for me. I'll not be participating in this event. I've been here since day one, quietly getting on and enjoying what I'm into.

You know what, the event could be to actually pad those metric numbers so they can show EA increased player engagement in time for the quarterly financial reports for EA. Take it a step further and maybe assume that this is the devs way to trick EA into giving more funding to the Bio dev team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
