Celwinn Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 So f2p gets 3 less rooms? or do they have an option to buy them later? and Does it only take CC to unlock? or both CC and credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillInstructor Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Well, since they took three rooms of the stronghold out of my subscription reward, will they lower the price of my subscription since I get less "value" for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the whole galactic season is based around the stronghold and our reward for being subs is more rooms at the get go than none subs. And getting all the rooms depends on completing the reward track which will have more than enough cartel coins to get all the rooms for subs so 🤷🏻♀️ Basically if you want the whole SH do the season… and it’s easier as a sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinhoandrei Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 From what I understand, the stronghold and the first 3 rooms will be included in the subscribers' season pass. The last 3 will need to be purchased with CC. The season pass usually "grants" around 2,000 CC, and the monthly subscription gives roughly 500 CC, depending on the payment method. Spending on the three extra rooms is a matter of choice; some people prefer to buy new sets, while others prefer to buy decorations and extra rooms. Depending on the price set for these rooms, I don't see anything absurd. As for the F2P players, well... they're already playing for free and getting things, so there's not much room to complain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives both tracks something and doesn't cut content for anyone. (I know some people will say SHs are optional content and doesn't affect your game but people like different things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the SH seems to be the focal point of the GS, why is the F2P track having less content? Armor/transmogs are one thing, but a SH? Why not give the option for F2P track to buy the rooms with Galactic Tokens? (3 tokens per room for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody works for free, and the way they found to finance the game is by selling cosmetics, like a new stronghold. In any case, there's nothing stopping it from appearing in NPCs at some point to be acquired with tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get your point in having the option For the record, I'm not against having sub rewards for unlocking rooms for the SH. What I'm against is not having the option for the F2P track in getting the same options, which is why I proposed the Tokens idea. Sub players will get the rooms free on the sub track and can use tokens for something else and the F2P track gets the option to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Guy_Called_Bob Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Assuming that this isn't going to allow credits as an alternative, this is just going to put a lot of players off of participating in the GS, not encourage them. It's also a worrying trend that as dyes now cost $20 and are only useable once and weapons and armour cost at least $10 dollars and as much as $30, we're now seeing even strongholds being locked behind paywalls. Hopefully they offer credits as an alternative after seeing the overall negative reaction to the news, or at least do so down the line.

LanceDefender Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 My biggest questions for it are: - How expensive will be these rooms o unlock with CC? 500CC? 1000CC? If more then it's completely not worth it. - Will this SH have a Starship hook? The most important hook in every SH imo. @JackieKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Stronghold, there's nothing great or new about this concept. We've had strongholds for many years now. The price to unlock new rooms will more than like be the same as any other.

This one has 3 rooms that is only unlockable by CC, which is why the question is vaild 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTricicolo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 you use the cc you get from the reward track to unlock the other rooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
