Canderis Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Has there been any more information about when the game is going to go ftp? I keep getting the urge to play, but i really don't have the time or money to invest in this game much.
mimartin Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 They haven't said, but it seriously looks like they are working towards it with update 1.4. Removing easy ways to get BH comms sure seems like something they would/should do before going to f2p. I really don't think they should be awarded to F2P even in HMFP through group finder.
Canderis Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 I thought 1.4 had been released...? Haha. That's probably it then.
Alexrd Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 They've confirmed it will become F2P in November.
adamqd Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 They've confirmed it will become F2P in November. ^^^
mimartin Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 What day? November has 31 days, so what day? Kind of figured they were shooting for November, but I will believe it when I see it. It isn't like they haven't changed confirmed releases in the past...
Pho3nix Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Looking forward to it since my subscription just ran out...
Tommycat Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Here's my handy dandy guide to when things will be released. Do you have any plans within the next year? -> If so, when? --> Will you be able to access a computer capable of running the game? ---> If not, then that is when the game will be released. ---> if so, pick the next time you have something planned that guarantees the inaccessibility of computers and that's when it will be released. -> Any friends coming to town? -> Significant other's parents? -> Alien abduction? -> Hard deadline at work? -> Pregnancy? -> Pregnancy because of Alien embryo from an abduction? Whatever the least convenient time for it to be released will guarantee that date as the release date.
Alexrd Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 What day? November has 31 days, so what day? TBD.
Lynk Former Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 no sidequests with f2p lol wut? there's no indication of that at all. F2P players don't get to do Operations and there are some other minor limits but nothing all that bad for people who aren't really investing all that much into the game.
Sabretooth Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I just want to check out the stories for each of the classes and alignments, is that F2P-able? I want to steer clear, way, way clear of grinding. So f2p y/n?
mimartin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 free yes. The stories are really good there isn't really that much more grinding (if you don't want to grind) than you would see in Skyrim. However, if you want to grind, then you can do Area quest and planet bonus quest.
Mav Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I just want to check out the stories for each of the classes and alignments, is that F2P-able? I want to steer clear, way, way clear of grinding. So f2p y/n?Just don't do the Consular story, it sucks terribly.
Canderis Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 Just don't do the Consular story, it sucks terribly. I Unfortunatly started with that one. Lucky I moved to a bounty hunter before I had the game ruined for me.
mimartin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 It isn't great, but I did not find it terrible. Still like it better than the trooper. Plus a shadow makes up for story by being a total blast to level. They just suck, unless you want to be a Tank, when you hit 50.
Miltiades Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I just want to check out the stories for each of the classes and alignments, is that F2P-able? I want to steer clear, way, way clear of grinding. So f2p y/n? In my opinion, Sith classes own Republic classes, both in story and in the dialog options you get to choose. Agent, especially, but also the Inquisitor and Bounty Hunter, are fun classes. You can do the story of all classes without really grinding anything. Do the story quest and planet quests (the former is personal, the latter contributes to the overall war effort) and you should be fine. There's more side quests to do, but they are in general uneventful. The bonus quests are closer to grinding, so skip them if you really don't want to do them, but if you can, do the bonus quest that happen in phases, because those give a lot of experience points.
Pho3nix Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I must say I've really enjoyed the Trooper storyline so far
Miltiades Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Sith Warrior story is superior to all. Could be, haven't done that one yet.
Lynk Former Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Well it was probably more interesting for me cause I played it light side instead of dark.
logan23 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 What i found from the stories I have done and the few where i let myself see spoilers is that- Bioware played it safe with the Republic classes, while the Empire allows for more freedom in writing a story since there are less reference of stories like this to go by as a gauging tool. I Would love to see Bioware break out of the traditional and take more chances since this would make the stories more compelling. I think Bioware needs to have story dictate over MMO functions.
Lynk Former Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 There is some overlap on the stories if you're paying attention which makes things more interesting if you're playing multiple classes.
logan23 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 True, But i have question on the Emperor -but its a spoiler Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Why couldn't the Sith Emperor do the Ritual which would kill everything, earlier before even Revan comes back to face him? What was the point of building the Sith forces to attack the Republic if his goal was the Death to all Ritual? This really confuses me...
Qui-Don Jorn Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Don't find the Consular story as bad as everyone makes it out to be. And dps sage is my preferred combat role. Oh well. Unfortunately, I got my first warrior/marauder to about 32nd but then decided to reroll him as a juggernaut, and have only made it back to 27th. @Logan: Can't answer that...dunno.
