Cartel Market

 

+2 hotbars for account =1080

then...wait for character slot unlocks?

...and that's all I could buy with 2000. There is still a lot more unlocks I would need to be able to play the game.

My choices would match yours because my only interest in SWTOR is to level all classes on one server. 

 

Nobody should have to pay for those action bars but I'd actually consider buying them.  Extra character slots would be important to me as well.

 

I assume that if you subscribe and then later cancel it, you will go back down to the 2 character slots per server limitation of preferred members? 

The restrictions can't be that bad.

There is preferred status, and you get to have several earned perks over f2p players. I would be surprised if they restricted your players per server after going f2p. Do they make us choose which players we put to sleep?

Sounds creepy.

A BW rep stated that F2P and preferred players have the same limit of 2 characters per server.

As far as paying for action bars, well I have no interest in subscribing and am only interested in leveling the remaining 7 classes.  For a reasonable price I'd be willing to pay to be able to do that.  After level 30 or 40 you really need access to the extra action bars so ...

As subscriber i'd like to buy a cosmetic set for my inquisitor full campaign and the carbonite chamber.

Also the mobile throne mount is not that bad ^^

I wouldnt go for +2 quick bars, one is really enough (3 total). Though i wouldnt even consider this if i didnt get "free" CCs, i would NEVER spend money on this particular unlock.

From what they said you can use all characters you created while subbed, but cant create new ones if you dont by [nuber of char slots+1]. Though ill believe it when i see it.

And if you are still subbed and plan to go back to trial, it would be wise to unlock as many inventory/bank tabs as you can as you are supposed to keep those too.

And yes, they should have done away with UI restrictions with preferred status, F2P should get 2 qickbars, preferred 4 and subbed 6

for some reason, when i see the words mobile throne, i get a 'flying toilet' image in my mind..  could be because im in the UK and 'being on the throne' usually means doing a number 2....

     I honestly don't see SWTOR's F2P succeeding under it's current set up.. But then the consumer base never stops amazing me what they buy or don't buy..  For me, I rank the game a 5/10.. For $15 a month it just isn't worth it.. Now they try to lure me back with a F2P options.. The problem I have is that the current rank I give their F2P is 2/10.. I have no intention of wasting my time to play a game that is only 2/10.. The only way that ranking is ever going to raise is to buy unlocks, which takes me right back to paying a game that is 5/10 at best......

     Bioware needs to understand that most stop playing the game because it wasn't all that fun, and introducing F2P options isn't going to move the needle much as I previous explained.. It's NOT the money that is chasing customers off, it's the shoddy gameplay.. (period).. Until they address that with maybe their own verions of NGE, I dont' see much of a change in the future, besides down..

I changed my mind.

1 hot bar  540

3rd crew skill 945

+10 GTN sale slots 280

=1765

Some of the prices in that list are a bit steep, I'll probably dump it all on quickbar unlocks and be done with it, if I guess right I'll have 1350 cartel coins.

That's if I care enough to log in.

Have a warm lager on me, mate!

I am currently playing subscribed, which tbh is the only way I ever play SWTOR. I feel the investment to unlock all the normal stuff would otherwise be waaay to expensive.

I plan to unlock Chiss race and prolly a few gears, because the standard gear is mostly abysmally bad. xd

EDIT: Ok, correct myself, NO GEAR. Having seen the video, I see the gear looks just as bad. :/

They didn't even MAKE new gear, most I had already seen on the GTN.. what a farce...

I will probablt try and avoid the temptation to spend my cache of cartel coins at first. Maybe let my monthly stipend flesh out my original pot of coins for a month or two.

There are a few things in the store on launch that I want but I am sure they will add a whole load of even cooler stuff shortly after launch.
