mentalmackem Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Can someone from the SWTOR team (Jackie or Eric) comment on the price conversion for the new "Join the Fight Bundle" in the UK. In the UK it's coming up as £34.99, In comparison a 60 day sub and 2400 CC comes to £21.49 meaning it's costing an extra £13.50 or $16.61 for one mount which is very steep. Meanwhile in America its coming up at $39.99, in comparison a 60 day sub and 2400 CC comes to $34.98 meaning its only costing an extra $5.01 or £4.07 for one mount. Why is there such a big gulf in the conversion prices? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felleto Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It's screwed up for Brasil too. It's double what it should cost. I guess it's a no buy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazulfi Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) The mount should be a free incentive with the bundle to make this offer remotely tempting anyway, not cost extra money on top, let alone such a huge sum. Has to be an error, surely? I was considering buying a bulk sub before I saw the offer, but I'm not touching this with a barge pole! How very odd. As an aside, my eyeballs are also tired-to-death of pink and blue things. Edited September 21, 2023 by Jazulfi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebdar Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) In my currency it is 189,90 zł for the Bundle but Subcription 59,99 2400 CC 62,99 So it looks that the mount cost more then 2400 CC 66,92. I like such 'promotions' but the benefit versus the cost should be better balanced 'Malgus' bundle was worth for me... wait i bought it when it was only 30 days subscription and it cost 179 ,90 so there will be people who will pay.... 🤣 Edited September 21, 2023 by Nebdar chcecked the Legacy of the Sith: Digital Collector’s Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psikofunkster Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Show me 50% sub discount (same price as WOW per month) + 5500 cc + mount and perhaps i'll be in for the bundle...(only if you have new content to show us of course). This is not EA anymore. Edited September 21, 2023 by psikofunkster info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felleto Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I believe the problem is they are just converting the currencies and not taking into consideration any other pricing of their products. If I solely convert 40US to my currency I would get the pricing the mount is at the moment. However, in US dollars the bundle costs 10 dollars LESS what a 60 day subscription + 2400 CC would cost. In US Dollars: 60 day (30 dollars) + 2400 CC (20 dollars) = 50 dollars in total The bundle is a VERY GOOD deal for 40 dollars. Now other countries got the short end of the stick I guess.

In steam is just too much difference for us in SA. But is also wrong in the main site with no regional pricing/inflation issues. They charge u$s5 extra (from 60day+2400cc ) for a reskinned mount? Bundles should include more at same price, a discount, or both. Edit: Got it wrong, in main site is actually a good bundle with a discount as 60 day is 30. My bad.

I would be more than willing to buy for both my wife and me for the same price even. The way it's priced now, unfortunately is just unfeasible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTheCynic Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Weirdly, for me, it's quoted as $39.99 on the website, with the just-coins packages being quoted in euros, but on Steam it's quoted as 39,99€ (appropriate notation for where I live, in northern France). Noteworthy: at the moment, $39.99 is 37,51€. But 2400 coins is only 17,00€, and 60 days of subtime is 26,99€, so 39,99€ for the package is less than the coins plus the subtime, and I would get the mount as well. And, of course, it bills 39,99€ for the package, and not the advertised $39.99. @JackieKo or @EricMusco would either of you like to comment on this?

Bar-Da-Voya Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 @JackieKo There's also a bug with the mount. Your companion does not resummon after using this mount. It's very annoying. So much so that I will not be using this mount and don't recommend people waste their money on this until it is fixed. Can't believe something like this made it in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These numbers aren't correct. It seems like you're using the "per month" US price for a recurring 60 day sub as opposed to the actual price of a non-recurring 60 day sub (which is $29.99). That adds up with the 2400 CC price ($19.99) to $49.98, so the bundle gets you almost $10 off and the mount is free. I think you're still correct about the UK pricing being weird, though, even if you made the same mistake on those numbers they wouldn't add up to the price of the bundle. The US numbers make clear that the mount should be a bonus, so at worst the bundle should be equivalent in cost to a 60 day sub + 2400 CC. If it's more, they messed up the price.

Yeah its insane, 209 reais when a single subscription for 2 months is 67 reais and 2400 cartel coins cost around 35 reais. So its barely over 100 reais for the subscription and cartel coins, meaning you're paying an extra hunded for a bonus mount that is really not worth that price. Companies really need to start doing regional pricing because this kind of stuff is ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
