I forgot about all the news that it made, but I do remember reading about it. Hopefully it does not impact my future employment with them and the company adapts to the consumers.

My account is now free to play and Halish could join the kos channel but when I created a new character he couldn't.

It's a pretty pointless restriction, dont see what they gain from not allowing custom channels.

Halish also has just over 200k credits and I was still earning so I guess the cap higher.

There's been a big shakeup in Best Buy lately (of which I've read a lot since it's headquartered where I live.) They've seen losses the past few quarters, just had a chaotic change of CEO, and they're planning to shift to smaller stores. I'm not sure how much this business model will affect Geek Squad. Since that's where I got my lappy, I'm hoping nothing too crazy happens.

So im wanting to switch occupations from nursing to IT and i was wondering what your opinions are on getting a job with Geek Squad. Is there other alternatives? Im wanting to get certified and then get a degree for computer information since getting a certificate is a preferred requirement to being in Geek Squad.

That's a different cap than I saw on the SWTOR website. There they said the cap was 200,000 but if you had more than that it was sort of held in reserve and as you spent down below that cap, they'd add some back.

Man! I sooooo want to see images of the new classes of ships they are using!

I would hope they relax at least one restriction, I saw that you must be a subscriber to be able to access any credits over 350,000. Unless I missed something, I didn't see any single option to unlock that separately. So I have toons sitting with 750K+ credits I can't use unless I pay a sub. Seems to go against the f2p and please buy cartel coins to support the game model. Even LoTRO doesn't do that lol!

That's where the legacy toon on your account will come into play. The opposite faction toon will have to obtain that part for you and then mail it to you. If the toon trying to unlock HK-51 is Republic then a legacy Imperial toon will be needed to obtain the part from the Imperial Temple and vice-versa. A Republic legacy toon will need to get the part from the Jedi temple on Coruscant for an Imperial toon. :) Your friends won't be able to help you with this because they are not a part of your legacy and can't mail anything to your opposite faction toon.

On swtor spy they say the parts are on the capital planets. One from each.

The Legacy system allows you to mail non-bound items or credits between any toon on your account regardless of faction. You can't do that with any toon NOT on your account, however. Legacy is enabled after you complete Chapter 1 on your 1st toon. The Legacy system entered the game during update 1.2 about 8 months ago. :)

It was rumored for quite a while that you would need an opposite faction legacy toon in order to obtain the assassin droid HK-51. I don't think they've specified the level that toon has to be but the rumor was saying around level 25-30 and the toon trying to unlock HK-51 would have to be level 50. ;)

Hey everybody, don't forget that you can vote everyday!

I currently have 22 votes and am in 7^th place! First place is a small guild of just 500 players, we can surely beat them!

They just randomly gave varying amounts of Cartel Coins on the ptr for people to test the Cartel Store. On the live server, you are granted a total amount for how long you subscribed with various other complimentary amounts depending on if you had an authenticator for the game, whether you purchased the Collector's Edition or Digital upgrade of the game, etc. That total is not a per character total either, it's per account. Each of your characters can use coins from that total but whatever amount you use on each character is deducted from that total. There is a thread a couple of spaces down from the current thread entitled "Check out how many Cartel Coins you may receive!" that has a link to see how many coins you were going to get but at the time I posted that the list apparently wasn't complete as I received more than it said I was going to get there. Subscribers are also going to get coins added to their account each month. The base amount I believe is 500 but there are a couple of instances where you could get more than that per month.

perhaps it's an either/or option?

I agree about the prices being much better than STO's but I found it sort of confusing. I thought I'd have much more cartel points then I did. Are they supposed to be evenly distributed across all your characters? I had like 23,000 on the test server and now only have about 3,000 per character.

Heya. I'm in need of an invite to both KoS and LoS. I'm a sub payer.

Thanks

There better be some way, to get HK-51 you need a part from the other factions capitol world. You need a part from the sith temple on dromund kaas and another part from the jedi temple on coruscant.

I don't believe you can. The walls they have around each faction are pretty thick.

The prices don't look too bad to be honest, comparative to STO. Its nice that you get more coins per dollar the more you spend. I've always thought it was stupid that STO doesn't do that.

Hopefully as they get feedback they will adjust the restrictions. I haven't gotten a chance to check out the update :(.
