Not surprized that the usual haters / fanboys are all over this. It is $10 for additional content. Whether that is something you want to pay for that content is up to you. I personally don't have an issue with $10 as I like SWTOR's story and want to know more. Christ, I can barely get drinkable coffee at that price. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

I too think this is essentially a DLC pack, but if that is how EA see the future of the title so be it. Borderlands and other similar games use much the same type of DLC model, as does Skyrim so this isn't out of the ordinary at all. Provided that the conent included in the DLC is "Value for money" it'll sell well I think, so it remains to be seen just how much bang for the buck BioWare can put into this & hint at what will be in future DLC, if this is how they keep the "Story" in the game progressing it could turn out to be a good thing. |

Originally posted by jpnz Stop making sense. EA/Bioware will never win no matter what they do. If the game would have been a reskin of SWG with the same exact boring mechanics and features (yeah I tried to play the game and thought it was boring, sorry fanbois) then those haters would think EA/Bioware were the shiznit. |

Originally posted by mikahr And the point of this post was? I don't care what people's opinion is regarding the $10 for this piece of content is. Every person will spend their money in whatever they feel like. Like I said, I personally don't have an issue with the price tag. Someone else might or might not, that's irrelevent to me.
I'm one of those 'fancy coffee only' guys so mine is around $8-$11. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

Originally posted by jpnzOriginally posted by mikahr There is no point. You see a lot of people on this site and other like this are in major damage control. You have some who have admitted the only reason they come to TOR post is to push buttoms, flame and so on. They say they cancel their sub but have never subbed. You have those who have said there will never be an expansion, they copy/paste what this expansion has to offer so far and leave out a small part that says more inforation coming. Now we have an expasion now they squirm. You have those who said there will never be added story conten. Well now they are adding story content, but for these same people its still not good enough. You have those who said TOR f2p is a failure and in a week the servers will be empty, well those who play know they are still very healthy and active. When you spend over a year bashing trying to destroy a game and hope it fails then the game turns around a smacks you in the face by continuing to add content continue to add player these people need to find something to whine about. |

Not really as it won't be a proper expansion, it will be just like the "expansion" bioware made for warhammer, a way to shill loyal customers by forcing them to pay for extra levels.
Will probably also have some dress up as a hutt component. |

When you buy this, keep in mind you are hurting the MMO genre more than you realise.

Originally posted by karmath This. People lack foresight and big picture. I blame education system that produces drones. Suddenly instead of paying 15/month (which lost its meaning and is extra just profit), youll be paying 30-50 in "F2P" game rofl But thats what you get when corporations like EA take over stuff.

Originally posted by Skuz The difference is though that Borderlands 2 and Skyrim do not have a monthly fee AS WELL. Plus it was all stated to be coming before the end of 2012 and as normal content update, which your $15 pays for. It is good that we are getting the content, but it is nothing new, and to get excited about the delay and actually pay more money for it, is just nuts. If it was new unmentioned content it would be worth getting excited for, but now it is "meh, ok, whatever" By the time it gets released by about June you would have paid $90 more in monthly fees for it, plus $10. So this content will be like paying $100 and get no more content before then, when should have done. This "expansion" should be in game NOW, with MORE to get by June. It is just blatantly obvious that EA are now just milking subbers for more money than is necessary, just to get back the money from the game that F2P people or those that quit are not giving them. Instead of doing a life day event and getting items by playing the game, they put it on the carel market for EVERYONE to buy, is just scummy. The F2P market should only be attractive to F2P players, not subbers, with things like extra slots and DLC like this being able to buy from the market, with your extra CC from subbing, but these things are not on there yet The game has now turned into a bloated cash cow, for subbers, with little gameplay. Since F2P it is buy this, buy that - PAY PAY PAY, when it should be more like PLAY PLAY PLAY.

Originally posted by superniceguy People who are going to contnue to sub have no qualms with it . Otherwise they would also stop subbing and move on. I was waiting for new content because there is nothign left me to do. But who am i to question anyones investment in the game they are enjoying? 10 or 100 bucks if people are enjoying it they will pay for it.

"SW:TOR will never get any meaningful content updates"
SW:TOR gets expansion.
"It's not a proper expansion"
WAY TO CHANGE THE F****** parameters of the argument, guys. |

Originally posted by mikahr The point that your obsession with 'SWTOR should fail and burn' is unhealthy? or that you are blaming world(s 5th year of crisis on people spending 10 bucks on something they enjoy and as trivial as a video game? Which one is it? lol Someone needs a reality check. |
