mattig89ch Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hey all, I'm trying to figure out exactly what the restrictions on f2p will be. I've read up on the list, but its nice and vague. Does anyone have a more difinative list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 the chart is the chart. Anythng beyond that is mostly guess work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 so...do we know if I'll be able to continue the story on both sides? If I'll still be able to do heroics, or the other form of dungeons (been so long I've forgotten the name)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'll still be able to do heroics, or the other form of dungeons (been so long I've forgotten the name)? You'll be able to do practically everything except Operations and other endgame stuff and with the rest you can still do it but have a limited number of times per week you can play them.

mimartin Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ops are enough to make me pay $14.95. I enjoy paying for my humiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I did intend to continue subbing, but if Ops and the like are what your Sub pays for I may save myself the $14.95 lol. I do dailies to pay for my wardrobe changes the Rest is pure exploration and immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 so....access to speeders will be limited? or access to qt? all my toons are on krayt dragon, and last time I checked that sever was all but dead. not really worried about not getting priority login.

Lynk Former Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Everyone should join The Harbinger and if BioWare lets people transfer their toons between servers finally (without being forced), you should all move yours to The Harbinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking, yeah transfer there. We are having a blast killing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 With 1.5 on the test server...It is becoming clearer what is meant by F2P and the difference between free and sub. http://dulfy.net/2012/10/23/swtor-cartel-market-items/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Interesting, so F2P get access to OPS as well, just have to buy them. Kinda weird about the unlocking of toolbars. I see no reason for that. And smugglers are REALLY going to be hurting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The two extra quickbars won't be a big deal for f2p folks mostly because for all this time subscribers have only had 4 quickbars since launch and we've survived with only 4 all this time. A few of us do need the extra slots but for the 99% of people who play the game, it won't really make any difference. I know I've filled out all of my slots, but that's all due to the fact that I run ops fairly regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessary by any means, but it will be convenient to have qt, repair droid and companion dance :xp:where I don't have to open the menu to use them.

Lynk Former Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 urp, looks like I got things wrong, on pts now and they've tuned it so that everyone on there is treated as f2p players... ONE quickbar... that means you can only have 12 abilities on there unless you buy more using cartel coins. Wow... just wow. I'd understand 2 but ONE?

mimartin Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 yeah to play f2p everyone but a shadow dps is going to have to pay for addition quick bars....No way I would even attempt to heal with that set up and Lynk had me spend all my cartel coins on junk. So I am done testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Dang that stinks, what's the exact date this stuff is supposed to go into to affect? Most likely around mid-November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynk Former Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The reasoning going around the PTS boards on the official forum is that the idea seems to be that they want F2P folks to purchase Cartel Coins to buy more accounts for their character/account as they need them. Basically they think that people will start to play swtor and then suddenly get hooked and bam, they're paying subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 what about those of us who are already had a sub? you think we'll still have our toolbars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 what about those of us who are already had a sub? you think we'll still have our toolbars? Unlocks an additional Quick Bar for abilities Can be used to acquire a total of 6 Quick Bars. Subscribers automatically have the maximum number of Quick Bars Yes, plus 2 more.

mattig89ch Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 admittedly, not sure where I'm going to put the other 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You can move them anywhere or reconfigure them to 3x3 squares. I have my healing one right in the middle of the screen so I can only see my toons head. I use a different UI during dailies and regular play, but for group play when stuff gets deep, I pulling out a group UI. You can also shrink the one you don't use or vanity ones. I plan on one with just speeders and travel options on it and it will be the 3x3 setup and as small as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yes, plus 2 more. I think he meant, those of us that USED TO BE a subscriber, and had 4 all set up and stuff. It'll be interesting to see what happens to my smuggler and if I can even handle 1&1/2(in/out of cover) toolbars. I know I wouldn't be able to heal with only 1 bar. Good heavens... I could get by with 2 or 3, but 1.... ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anyone who is F2P, former subscribers or new players will feel the affects of the F2P limitations. So if you started off with 4 bars because you used to subscribe, you'll be cut down to one unless you buy more with the Cartel Coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
