u/LordZelgadis · 53 pointsr/GameDeals

It unlocks all current expansions, gives you a free level 65 character token and a free walker mount for every character you have.

It does not change the status of free accounts though.

You can upgrade your account to "preferred" by buying cartel coins or buying the $5 digital deluxe upgrade. This removes or eases a lot of restrictions. I wont lie, free accounts are horrifically gimped. Preferred accounts are what "free" should have been but I think the reason for the paywall is to combat spammers.

Anyone wanting to experience the full unrestricted game should try the Amazon Premium pack. It's 3 months of subscription time, 2400 cartel coins and a pet for $40, which is $5 less than the cost of 3 months subscription time and the amount of coins you'd get from a $20 pack, so the whole thing is worth about $65. You can only use the pack once per account. Everything else advertised for the pack is stuff everyone gets for subscribing their first time.

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8

I'd recommend saving any cartel coins you have for legacy ("Y" shortcut Key -> "GLOBAL UNLOCKS" left side menu -> "Other" left side menu -> "Convenience" right side) unlocks, specifically rocket boost and improved mounting. Aside from that, unlocking inventory space (for the entire account, not just one character) is a good use for them. There's some other convenience legacy unlocks you might like, specifically Legacy Travel, but I only bought the first one since being subbed reduces the cooldown to 6 minutes which is maybe 30 seconds longer than you might spend on a NPC conversation in-between quick travels.

It's worth noting that subs get 500 cartel coins free each month and you can get 100 coins free each month regardless of whether you sub or not, by using their authenticator app. You can also get some coins for certain achievements. The easiest one to do is the one you get (20 coins each) for completing the starter planet for each of the 8 classes.

It'd be wise to look at cartel coins as being worth $0.01 USD each. So, if you pay 100 coins for an unlock, you effectively spent $1 on it. It helps put things in perspective, so you don't just waste them on some cosmetic junk or useless unlocks (some really are useless.) I mean, they have a lightsaber (all cartel gear has the same stats and provides no real benefit in combat by itself, you have to buy, with in-game credits, or craft mods to make them useful) that costs 5,700 coins, effectively $57 USD. I just can't see spending $57 on a cosmetic weapon but I'm sure some people do it. Sure, it's cool looking but it's just not worth that for most people. They'll also charge you probably around $4 or $5 in coins to unlock it for your entire account, since cartel items typically only unlock for the character that it was bound to, even though that adds it to your collection. They do like to nickel and dime cosmetics. That said, most unlocks can be bought with credits, instead of cartel coins. The problem is Free accounts have a credit cap of 200k and Preferred have a cap of 350k, so any unlock more expensive than that will require you to either be subbed or to spend cartel coins. Since, you can get 100 coins free each month, even on a Free account, it's still possible to get all of the unlocks without spending any money, eventually. You might have a really long wait trying to unlock everything at the rate of 100 coins a month though.

The biggest cartel coin pack you can normally buy is $40 for 5,500 coins but Amazon has a $100 pack for 14,500 coins, which is 750 more than you'd get buying 2.5 x $40 packs. So, it's not that big of a bargain compared to the $40 pack, which gives about 700 bonus coins compared to the $20 pack of 2400 coins. Ultimately, you shouldn't waste money on cartel coins directly. You're better off sticking to the free ones and the ones you get with a sub. The one exception would be maybe spending coins on a mount with "exceptional" resistance to being dismounted. Even then, it's probably best not to waste your money on it.

As a bit of a side note, you get a free pet when you buy cartel coin packs on Amazon but they look very much like the pet you get with their premium pack with the 3 months of sub time.

Finally, leveling up your legacy is super slow, since it's based off of a percentage of the exp you get. If you don't mind spoiling the story for yourself, you could use a lvl 65 boosted character to speed up leveling your legacy and as a quick way to get into higher level crafting, for profit. That said, expect some major spoilers, if you do. It's generally recommended that most people should avoid using boosted characters due to the way it makes a lot of story decisions for you but, if you know what you're getting into and want to anyways, it's your time to spend how you want.

It's generally recommended you either level a character to 60/65 before using a boost. The reason is because boosted characters don't count towards race or class story unlocks and you can't go back and complete them because they're auto-completed for you. There's 8 class stories, 4 for each faction, that you have to complete to unlock legendary status.

These are all the things I wished I'd known when I started.

u/Alortania · 24 pointsr/swtor

WARNING

I thought the same as you. I bought the Amazon 3m sub (extra coins, cheaper than 3x 1m sub, etc) thinking the same way as you. I've been sub'd ever since. Ops are addictive... and once you have all the perks thinking of going back is cringy.

BEFORE

  • If you don't have active toons but have done stories, there's not much prep you really need to do...
  • You can plan out a bit as far as what you like goes; if you remember what roles/classes you enjoyed playing it would be a good start. The sub-exclusive content starts off fairly easy (groupfinder ops, easy uprisings, etc), but it's best to at least kinda know your class and have a main to do stuff on.
  • put 1k cartel coins aside and don't use it. Since you'll be dropping server slots, etc, it will be wise to transfer one toon (with some starter credits, other useful items and so on) to the other NA server right before your sub dies to duplicate your legacy. More on this at the bottom.
  • Join a guild that does events. Can do this once you sub, but it's not something that needs to wait, so~
  • Download Teamspeak, Discord, and set them up. Some things benefit from voice comms, and adding a server is far quicker than having to download and set up stuff while people wait.
  • You can also download/install starparse to see how you're doing. It's not really needed, but once you get good gear you might be interested in seeing where your DPS stands.
  • If you plan to do groupfinder operations (esp if you're hoping to try some hard mode ones), it's a good idea to look up guides/vids just so you have a slightly better idea of what they're like. Not needed, but~
  • Buy the starter strongholds. A week or two ago, DK was 6 credits, so I assume Coruscant is as well. Might as well buy them now and set up a bit.
    • Go to fleet and check out public strongholds; that will give you an idea on which you might like to buy/unlock once you have enough credits
  • You can pass time by grinding heroics, etc for credits. Legacy bank (you get one once you have a SH and do a lvl 15 mission on fleet) lets you skip escrow as f2p, and escrow goes back into your wallet anyway once you sub.
  • See if there are any 2x XP events or other things you might want to be sub'd for to maximize your time.


    ONCE YOU SUB

  • Use a referral code once you are sub'd; this will let you keep all three crew skills when your sub runs out, extra week of sub time, etc. You might also get a few mil from someone.
  • Try to get at least one person to use your referral code; it gives you a speeder that has a constant 110% speed, even at piloting 1 (all other are at 90% at that skill level).
  • If you like certain races (sans togruta/cathar) you can make them for free, so DO so. Once these are leveled to 50 the race unlocks for free and you can use them on any new future toons (see last section for why this is important)
  • For speed leveling, Get kicked to Yavin by a friend or kind stranger (for max effect, buy full exploration character perk + run a boost, then either start doing heroics or just grind mobs at [A Question of Motivation] (imp) to get to 70. Save story for later, though be sure to at least have your ship for toons you plan to do events on (summons requires ship).
  • You want to get to 70 and start earning CXP, because that's where gear comes from, and you can only earn it while you're a sub. Save your tokens, save gold shells since those can be upgraded later (if you PvP).
  • Do groupfinder operations.
    • They're sub-only, and they're fun as hell (even SM, at first)
    • They drop tier 2 gear, which you roll on (etiquette is 1/person unless stated otherwise, then greed on them)
    • You want to do Eternity Vault and Karagga's Palace at first. Stay away from pug Ravagers and Dread anything for a bit until you get used to them and hopefully catch good groups.
    • You want to have plenty of time to do them; since you'll be pugging assume 2h as a minimum window before you have to go. They usually take less with a good group, but you don't want to have to leave before finishing them
    • You can do each operation once per week per toon (per difficulty, but unless you really REALLY like them and are willing to put in a LOT of work you probably won't get to do the higher difficulties... maybe EV/KP), so stay away from "Last Boss lockout runs" or ask groups if they're doing full runs when you join. Once you kill a boss all previous ones auto-lock for you for that week.
    • SAY you are new, ASK when you don't understand and read/listen carefully. Many times people are more than willing to explain, but don't want to wipe 5x+ before asking if you're new. This also goes for flashpoints.
  • Do uprisings (or at least try them); they're like mini flashpoints without cutscenes, etc. I personally dislike them, but SM ones are worth trying while you can.
  • Grind heroics and work the GTN, ETC to make credits, and spend them on various stuff that's above f2p/pref credit cap
    • Unlock strongholds; buy the fun ones. I personally love NS the most, but YMMV
    • Unlock global perks in legacy for credits. Quick travel, rocket boost, mount while moving, etc are all great investments
  • Try out various specs of classes, since they don't cost anything to swap around as a sub. You want to know what to leave toons at once it runs out.
  • Buy/get legacy shells and augment them, then use those to gear. Ripping insides/augmenting is cheaper as a sub


    Right Before Sub Ends

  • Decide which toons (if you made too many) you will be keeping active; get anything important off the others, put in cargo hold/legacy (inc all credits in the legacy bank)
  • On mains check to make sure all outfits have the hide head on/off on various outfits; these will stay but lock when sub runs out, so any outfit slot with hide head will still have hide head, until you sub again. Make sure you leave a few with head showing in case you later make outfits you want helmets visible on, etc
  • Pick one toon and transfer it to the other server. This will copy your legacy and global unlocks, race unlocks, etc.
    • Buy strongholds on that server. Once the base is bought, all the unlocks from the other server are auto-unlocked
    • Send this toon with money, etc. so you can jumpstart future toons.
    • This costs 1k cc atm, but saves you all those unlock costs and other achievements you've done.
  • Make sure all but 350k are in your legacy bank, not on your character
  • Pop all CXP packs and make sure all gear is done right/augmented/in legacy shells
  • NOW buy any vanity items you want off the GTN
  • Make sure all toons you want to play are in the right spec, etc.
  • Double check that there's nothing you forgot to do/try out

    Once it ends

  • Say "screw it" and renew the sub...
u/GrayMagicGamma · 8 pointsr/Games

I'd like to add the third option to paying $5 for cash shop money or $15 for a one month subscription- the [Amazon starter bundle] (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8), which costs $40 and pays for itself with three months of game time, and as a bonus has about $20 worth of cash shop money. It's usable on existing accounts though, so it might be a good idea to wait for your first month to end before using this on months 2-4.

u/bytetemplar · 7 pointsr/swtor

This pretty much explains it all:

https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/wiki/f2p


Also, if you wanna spend some money on the game, I highly suggest getting this, its real bargain for what you get:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8NURF8?pldnSite=1

90 days premium, 2400 CC on top of the monthly and a mount.

Also, if you have smartphone, get the security app and link it to account, free 100CC monthly even if f2p!

u/Erazai · 5 pointsr/swtor

If you haven't used the Amazon bundle, that is the best deal.

u/Meramir · 5 pointsr/swtor

I think you're mixing it up:

Amazon has a bundle with 90 days and 2400CC: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8?th=1

Origin has a bundle with 60 days and 1050CC: https://www.origin.com/dnk/en-us/store/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/deluxe-pack

u/SirUrza · 4 pointsr/swtor

> If I buy this sub model and during my subscription I choose to cancel my credit/debit card info will I be able to remain a subscriber for the remainder of my 30 days that I paid $14.99 for?

Yeap.

> Do they take away your subscriber status if you cancel your recurring subscription?

You're a sub until the 30 days runs out.

> I only want to do this recurring subscription model one time because its the cheapest.

The absolute best value if you're planning on having a multimonth subscription is the amazon bundle. You can use that once on your account. After that it's the Origin bundle which can be used once on your account every 6 months.

u/shadowblade159 · 4 pointsr/swtor

This one here? If you scroll partway down the page, it says "can only be redeemed once per six-month period." So theoretically, you should be good. I cannot confirm this personally, since I haven't tried to use it a second time yet. I only just used it for the first time last month.

u/superhpman · 3 pointsr/swtor

Hi all! Returning player here.

Toward the end of 2016 I bought the origin deluxe pack.
https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/deluxe-pack

Today, I want to buy this one from amazon (For the 3 month subscription and Cartel Coins)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8NURF8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3ODHND3J0WMC8&th=1

My question, Can I still buy the Amazon one and apply it to my account, Even with already having the similar similar pack from origin applied to my account?

u/Saikewnonebi · 3 pointsr/GiftofGames

> Alright, I'm going to post what I posted in my actual request for some DLC. (and some extra writing)
>
> I have very easily put in over 600 hours for this game, I'm not sure of a way to prove this to you but if I could, I would! I've played more in this MMO than in most of my steam library put together, I've tried so hard to get this Bundle but my parents don't get paid until after the 29th, I really hope you can fulfil this for me.

Hey GiftOfGames! /u/Saikewnonebi here :).

Today I'm Requesting The SW:ToR Story Bundle; this includes a 60 Day Time Card, 2400 Of The Games Premium Currency, an Exclusive Pet, The Rise Of The Hutt Cartel Story Pack and the Shadow Of Revan story pack! That's a lot of content for $40!

I absolutely adore this game! It's the only MMO I'm actually into! Currently I have one max level character (not max level anymore, the cap was raised to level 60 but you can only get there with the Story Packs).

I currently have two characters that I play on mainly, One called Saikewnonebi (Level 55) on the Republic Side (he's a Jedi Knight, yo.) I also have a girl called Kelechi (Level 35) on the Empire side, she's a Sith Marauder.

I massive enjoy levelling because of the story, but I want to continue the story and go to Manaan and Rishi (the two added planets) - there are also two added endgame Operations (A.K.A Raids) I'm massively missing out on the content my Guild is doing because they all have the DLC's and I don't.

  • Talking of Guilds, here's some info!

    My republic side character's are all in the PvE guild, Eternal Dawn. I'm currently a Recruiter and we have ~300 members. The guild were very friendly to me as when I got Saikewnonebi to Level 50 I was still quite new to the game. IIRC I ran an Operation with a character named Badass and I asked him if his guild was open, he said yes and I as invited almost immediately! I've been in Eternal Dawn ever since - it's been a good time!

    My Empire side guild is well, mine! I'm the Guild Leader of a guild named Imperial Eclipse and have been for about two weeks! We currently sit at around 15 members but we really look forward to growing! It's more a levelling guild until the first member reaches endgame! (Level 50+). Of course, this is an open invitation to join my guild, if you play the game and want to join the guild just comment the name of your character and I'll throw you an invite when you're online!

  • You don't play the game? Why Not!

    If you don't play the game, I think you should!
    If you're a fan of Star Wars, or a fan of KoToR I or II, this game is great!

    Hell, if you wanna start out I'll even help you! Joining my Guild on the Empire Side will grant you a 6.8% EXP boost, and as the amount of players in the guild increases, so does the boost! Oh, and if you plan on subscribing to the game in the future (Cheap deals on g2a.com) then why not use my Referral Link? Info on that can be found here! (If you click it, and subscribe within 14 days of clicking it - I get the bonuses on the FAQ page)

    TIP FOR SUBSCRIBING: If you subscribe, you should immediately activate a security key on your account (iOS or Android), this will grant you 100 Cartel Coins per month even after your subscription has run out, it will also add an extra layer of security to your account.


    The deal runs out on the 29th, so if you feel like my request is worthy of being fulfilled, please do it by the end of today.
u/Calastir · 3 pointsr/swtor

If you want to spend a bit more, the Origin deluxe pack is a decent deal for $22.50. https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/buy/star-wars-the-old-republic/pc-download/bundle/deluxe-pack

You get 60 days of time, 1050 coins and a pet.

If you want to spend even more, Amazon has a great starter pack for $40 http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8

It includes 90 days of time, 2400 coins and a pet.

u/complicatedorc · 3 pointsr/swtor

u/project343 · 3 pointsr/GameDeals

Old Republic goes out of its way to make itself as single-player-friendly as possible. It's also the better narrative experience by a large margin. Amazon's expansion bundle is sort of a steal.

u/FenrirIII · 3 pointsr/swtor

You're referring to this bundle?

  • 90 Days of PREMIUM Unlimited Gameplay Access as a Subscriber with Full Game Access.

  • Enjoy being at the center of your own epic saga in the latest expansion, Knights of the Eternal Throne.

  • Bonus of Three Story Expansions. Plus, as a bonus you will get access to the three previous paid expansions, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, Shadow of Revan and Knights of the Fallen Empire – the prequel story to Knights of the Eternal Throne.

  • 2,400 Cartel Coins. Purchase valuable Cartel Packs along with collectible gear, unique weapons and other items that offer both customization and convenience, at the in-game Cartel Market with these coins.

  • KOTOR-Inspired Swoop Bike – Kakkran Daggerstar. This super sleek speeder was designed as a tribute to the game that started it all, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic!

That's 2400 CC on top on what you get monthly. 525 per month in this case.

If you are looking to buy coins, just get this if you have not already. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474382336&sr=8-1&keywords=swtor+digital+starter

The three months of subscription that you get is worth more than the price and you get 2400cc with it. Can't really beat this deal if you want coins AND want to sub.

u/theswerto · 3 pointsr/xboxone

Depends on what you play it for. If you played it for the story - absolutely.

Sadly over the past year there has only been one new addition to group play - a warzone. There hasn't been a new operation (raid) or flashpoint (instance) since December 2014 with the release of the previous expansion. But they did scale everything up to the current level cap so you can play all the operations and instances, and scale you down to the level of zones you're visiting and the experience/credits/loot up to your level so everything is always at the very least somewhat challenging, rewarding, and fun to play.

Game's still pretty great, but people who have been playing it since launch are understandably burnt out.

RP is still going strong on the main RP server (Ebon Hawk) and if you're interested in PvP the few remaining PvP ruletype servers still have strong PvP. There's rumors of them moving towards a megaserver format to merge all the servers in a region together, but we haven't seen anything on it in a while.

It's definitely better than it was at launch, and someone just starting today will have a thousand hours of content to consume before they start retreading over old stuff, but its pretty hard to stay subscribed right now unless you have a core group of friends keeping the game fun.

If anyone wants to give it a try, its free to play and free to start. Most of the game is free, but honestly the F2P mode is pretty limited gameplay wise (no instances or PvP for the most part) and stops just before the first expansion. If you want to get all the content, subscription starts at $15 a month, but Amazon sells a 3 month bundle that also comes with $20 of the premium currency (used to purchase cosmetic stuff or experience boosts - which are useless because you level so fast) for $40. You can also use it for existing accounts but only once. Once you subscribe you have permanent access to all story content after the first expansion and your F2P mode is a bit less limited when your subscription lapses.

Don't let the hatejerk on /r/gaming and this sub lie either, this game is KOTOR 3, and KOTOR 4-10 as well. All 8 classes have their own story and they're fantastically written, especially now that you can skip all the sidequest MMO bullshit and just run through the story stuff and have fun. The gameplay is what you'd expect from an MMO, but it has a bioware spin on it (No auto attacks, everyone has companions that can help them fight and fill a role they can't, etc.)

u/Starwarsfan4life · 2 pointsr/swtor

monthly sub has always been $15 a month. most people start a sub for one month then cancel the sub so it doesn't charge their card for the next month. you still get the full 30 days of sub time you originally signed up for.

You may want to check out the KoTFE Amazon bundle it's a pretty good deal for the price even though its $40.

That is the 90 Day subscription code I bought, I believe it was on sale when I got it but even now it's just $40 like you said. And then you get 2400 cartel coins for free so, not a bad deal.

u/collinch · 2 pointsr/swtor

There is no 40% off the expansion deal. There is a bundle that includes the expansion, 2 months of subscription time, and 2400 Cartel Coins. That is priced 40% off the normal price of those individual items. It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/SWTOR-Amazon-STAR-Bundle-Online/dp/B00T8NURF8

u/kamiztheman · 2 pointsr/swtor

If you're looking for the best deal in terms of cost to the amount of game time and CC you get the best deal is the Amazon Pack. The other selections they have are on origins website.

u/EDDYBEEVIE · 2 pointsr/swtor

https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/store/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic

​

Origins has a bundled you can use every 6 months that gives 2 months sub, 1050 extra cartel coins and some speeder.

Amazon also use to have a bundle but it comes up unavailable now.

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8?th=1

u/erdevs · 2 pointsr/swtor

Well, I'm not sure about buy-1, get-1 specifically. But there is the Origin bundle, which gives you all of the expansions, a 60 day sub, and 1,050 Cartel Coins for $22.50 (was $19.99 a few days ago, I think).

There is also the Amazon bundle, which is $39.99 for 3 months of sub and 2000 Cartel Coins.

Both are good deals, atm. Be aware that if you buy the Origin bundle, it can take up to 2 business days for them to approve your order (they do this as an anti-fraud measure).

u/merdink · 2 pointsr/swtor

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8/ Not sure if I can recommend it since it only gave 1050 coins while advertising 2400, though I did get the 90 days.

u/Pr3t0r · 2 pointsr/swtor

If i bought this at 2016 januar: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016LBL0NW/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0
I can still buy this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8NURF8?pldnSite=1&th=1 ?

Or its basically the same?

I'm thinking about to reactivate the game, if someone can confirm, this code will work even if i bought a similar a year ago, i will definitely go for it.

u/jmmiracle · 2 pointsr/swtor

Edit - I wanted to look up the links for you. Please keep in mind that I am in the US so there may be a difference between US and Canada on price and availability,


Option 1 - Your best bet is this "The Amazon Bundle" https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549339848&sr=8-3&keywords=star%2Bwars%2Bold%2Brepublic%2Bsubscription&th=1

u/Tamryu · 2 pointsr/swtor

I assume you're asking for something similar to this? https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8?th=1

Not sure why it's unavailable now but that was a really good deal. 3 months sub and also 1000 cartel coins.

That is the best in my opinion it gives a 3 month sub with all the expansions and 2400 cartel coins. :)

It looks like an internal error on Bioware/EA servers. The Amazon or Origin bundle deals are far superior for your first sub.

u/ktlin27 · 2 pointsr/swtor

I would highly suggest to do NOTHING with those coins, at least not right away.

It sounds like you've been gone for a while, so I would suggest just playing as a preferred initially to get your bearings.

Take a couple days to figure out where you are, set up your UI, figure out if you want to continue with your existing characters or start over (you will probably want to start over anyway to get some of the freebies during the DvL event that is going on right now). The server you are on might be dead so figure out if you want to start over somewhere else.

After your get your bearings, you will want to use someone's referral link. The link will take you to your SWTOR account page and after you log in it will ask if you accept this person's referral. What will happen then is you will get 7 days of subscription access, along with a preferred friends bundle which every character you have or will ever create will always get. This is important because this gets you all 3 crew skills, an extra inventory module, I think the ability to display titles and one other thing (you can look on the sidebar for more information)

Finally after those 7 days you can decide if you want to subscribe for 1 month (this should unlock all the expansions and chapter 1-16 of KOTFE for you).

During this time you should just be playing and making money slowly. Don't unlock anything until your sub ends, but before your sub ends, every so often you should look in the GTN (auction house) for your account unlocks. Some of them you can buy with credits.

It was a year ago when I bought my Artifact Authorization (account) unlock, but I paid 8mil for mine (good luck finding one)

On a side note, instead of paying EA/BioWare directly for your 1 month subscription, there is a very good bundle you could get from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8/)

Finally there are many different ways to find referral links to use. I'd suggest using one from a friend (if you happen to know one) or use one from someone that is willing to help you out in game for.

Took a small break last week and man am I glad I came back today! There is a huge event going on and tons of rewards being given out! The double XP event is amazing if you're trying to just level with class quests only - no need to do any side, planet, etc quests at all, can level all the way to max with just Main Class Story quests! A truly great way to experience the lore of SWTOR. New player or returning, grab yourself a referral link from this sticky and head on in to the world of Star Wars!

Does the amazon bundle also expire on the 19th? The bundle in question

u/DragonDai · 1 pointr/swtor

Well, first off, I can only assume you're the person who gave me the gold. So yeah, thanks for popping my gold cherry! :D

As for resubbing, the benefits of resubbing before level 50 are REALLY small, especially between now and the beginning of December (cause there's a server wide XP boost that helps negate the XP penalty for not being subscribed). That being said, they are big enough, IMO, to warrant the cash. If nothing else, subscribing on or after the second of December will get you the new DLC (which launches on the 2nd) for all your characters forever (as well as any other DLC you're missing unlocked for all your characters forever as well).

And Amazon has been running a REALLY good deal for a while. Here's a link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8NURF8/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&th=1

(Disclaimer, that link is via an affiliate link for my favorite Twitch streamer. My browser automatically sends all Amazon traffic through the affiliate link. It's way more hassle to get the non-affiliate link then it is to just post a disclaimer. So use that link for reference purposes only unless you want to help support a random Twitch streamer at no cost to yourself lol).

That's 3 months of time for 40 bucks (instead of 42 bucks or whatever it is normally), but you also get 20 bucks worth of Cartel Coins (the in game premium money) and a cute little baby rancor pet for all your characters forever. So you save a couple extra bucks on the sub, get a BUNCH of free Cartel Coins, and a little buddy to adventure with.

There is also a referral code I or any other subscriber can give you if you haven't been a subscriber in 90 days. It gives you some nice stuff including 7 days worth of Subscriber benefits (sans the DLC unlocks). If you're going to subscribe anyway, it's worth getting someone's code for the free 7 days and the goodies (the nicest of which is a free row of inventory space for all your characters forever). I'll be happy to supply a referral code if you want it, but if you know someone playing, they get some small but nice benefits, including Cartel Coins, if you end up subbing, so no hard feelings if you got a friend that plays or something and you'd rather use their code.

As for the text being small, the game features and EXTREMELY robust interface editor that will let you increase the size of individual elements (as well as move them, hide them, etc). This could be used on the tool tips box to increase it and therefore increase the size of the text. And since the tool tips box is a popup, it wouldn't get in the way of actually playing the game, even if you made it gigantic.

SWTOR is one of those MMOs where each class gets a billion abilities. I have 24 abilities mapped to my mouse alone and still have a couple more (like Stealth on my Consular or my 60 minute class buff or my quick travel button) that aren't bound to any key and I click when I need them. That being said, most classes have a "core" of about a half dozen abilities that really define how they are played, with everything else being either some sort of utility ability (like a stun or a defensive/offensive cooldown) or an AoE or situational ability.

This means that, starting out, you'll only have a couple of buttons to work with and, for the most part, they'll be the "key" abilities that you build your combat rotation around. Sure, a couple abilities may get replaced by something else (Slice on the Jedi Guardian is a great example), but most of them are gana be used from the moment you get them all the way through max level/raiding.

Because of this, they sort of build "out" in terms of complexity, if that makes sense. The stuff you get for the first 20-30 levels is the "core." The big abilities that define the class. As you go, these abilities will generally be the ones getting modified by the passive abilities you'll get automatically as you level. And these passives are what enable your core abilities to interact with your utility or situational skills, which you get later on.

So, my advice for overcoming the complexity of an MMO like SWTOR is to start with the basics. Identify which skills are you "builders (the ones that grant resources) which are your "spender fillers" (the ones that spend resources and just do damage, and not a lot else and are best used when you have nothing else to do), which are single target/AoE "power" skills (the BIG buttons that cost a lot of resources and produce big results, via damage, temporary crowd control, etc), and which skills you can safely relegate to the hard to reach buttons cause they're not something you're using a lot.

Once you get the abilities separated into the broad categories outlined above, you can make decisions about which abilities work best in which situations by viewing how they interact with each other via the passive abilities and via trial and error out in the world.

It sounds complicated, but really it's just about compartmentalizing everything into manageable, bite-sized chunks. Once you do that, you see how the compartments connect to each other, and everything falls into place, becoming second nature. And that's when games like this get really, really enjoyable, IMO.

Suddenly, your Jedi is dancing across the battlefield, force leaping from one enemy to the next, giant, sweeping strikes cleaving down a slew of enemies, massive overhead swings dishing out the hurt on the baddie's leaders, etc, etc, etc. SWTOR has really enjoyable LOOKING combat, which is something I think a lot of MMOs lack. And once you get your rhythm down, you can really enjoy it.

So yeah, I really hope you give the game a try again. Even if you're still struggling with combat, the leveling content (which is 95% of the games story) is worth experiencing. It's really fantastic writing and I think a lot of people end up missing out on some fantastically written and voice acted Star Wars stories because of the way the game plays. And that's a shame.

But I have every confidence that with a little practise and determination that you'll do just fine. So yeah, thanks again for the gold, and I hope you enjoy whatever time you end up spending in the game. :)

Uggh, I just paid $40 for 3 months and 2400 cc. This is a better value. Here is what I bought:

u/neundreisieben · 1 pointr/swtor

Hello.

You are not alone. There are a few people out there, not able to buy something from the SWToR-Store. To enable the buy option, you need to get in contact with EA in that case. There is maybe a problem with your bank, or with the EA payment service.

But you can buy Game-Time-Cards (GTC) from resellers. There are some legal resellers, like Amazon. You will find many more, like MMOGA, Kinguin or whatever they are called. Use these on your own risk.On Amazon.com , you will find that offer: SWTOR Premium Pack (/w aff-link from swtorDATA)*.Sorry for using this link. If you use that, you support swtorDATA with no extra costs. But i needed to copy that link, because i'm using the german Amazon page.

On Amazon you'll find 60days GTC, too. Up to 180days. But i don't know, how it is on your local Amazon.

By buying this, you get a Code. Here you login in your SWToR Account and enter the code in the "redeem a code" field. So you add your gametime.

The good thing about the Premium Pack is, that you get 90days gametime, all DLC up to KOTET and 2400 Cartel Coins you can spend on the cartel market. And you get a mount. Not my favourite, but okay. So i would buy this.



*i'm in no relation with swtordata

u/MutatedSpleen · 1 pointr/swtor

It's the same price on Amazon as it is from Bioware directly.

Here's a link.

u/hawks5999 · 1 pointr/swtor

As others have said, if you plan on playing a while, subscribe for a month to get all the expansions.

However, I would suggest you put this off as long as possible. I started F2P during a May 4th promo 3 years ago. And I played 2 months just as happy as I could be as free to play. There was some limitation to my inventory, fast travel, etc but I just played around those limitations and had a blast. Then BioWare offered a 1 month subscription bundle that didn’t require storing a credit card (something I was trying to avoid doing). I took the 1 month of subscription and realized how much more was available as a subscriber and I could never go back to those limitations of free to play (or preferred even) and really enjoy it. So play free until you are sure you are ready to invest into the game regularly.

And once you do decide that (as I suspect you will, it’s worth it), the best way to kick it off is by using the Amazon Bundle, which will give you 3 months sub time, a mount, and bonus cartel coins for less than 3 months of subscribing. There’s also a bundle on Origin that has a unique mount, bonus cartel coins and 2 months of subscription for less than the subscription cost of 2 months.

Have fun!

3 month sub and cartel coins for $40 usd. Otherwise sub for a single month to unlock everything.

u/Valion_Stryder · 1 pointr/swtor

I just recently came back and decided to sub. I found this deal as its the best bang for the buck.

u/TheOnyxHero · 1 pointr/wow

SWTOR

I just came back like 3 weeks ago and some opinions of my own and changes to the game (not all changes but some)

The KOTFE and 4.0 changes have changed the game to be more Single player orientated, but there are still MMO elements, Ops, PVP, events, etc. I myself haven't played since a few months after launch, so for me, there's lots of content to go through.

You have the base game 1-50, 8 class stories, Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion, Shadow of Revan expansion and the new Knights of the Fallen Empire, which was partially released and a new chapter is coming every month, starting February, with chapter 10.

The 1-50 story with all 8 classes are free to play, but to level above 50 and do the other expansions, you have to sub. $14.99 is the sub rate and you get all 3 expansions, and currently up to Chapter 10 in Knights of the Fallen Empire.

They also have a story-synch mechanic, where you'll scale down to the level of the planet, but still keep all your abilities and talents.

All flashpoints and Ops have been scaled to 65, the current max level, and also most flashpoints have a solo mode now (rewards are bad though, but it's for the story). Problem with this though is, they have not added any new FPs or Operations with the new expansion and none have been planned, as of yet. So, this has hurt the PVE community with a good amount of people leaving, but there are still a good amount playing.

There are also a lot of other changes that would just make this post very long.

But anyway, lots of content I never did, and probably a lot of other people who quit shortly after launch. The stories are nice if you're into that, PVP is still somewhat fun, but I haven't jumped much into that. PVE has a lot of raids currently since all the old ones were scaled to max level and there are 3 mods, Story Mode (LFR), Hard Mode (Slightly harder than WOW normal) and Nightmare (Probably easier than mythic, but harder than WOW heroic). I haven't done a whole lot of raiding outside of some SM and easier HMs, but I am looking to get deeper.

I do have my concerns with the game and what Bioware is doing. I am just gonna stick around for a bit, I have a 90-day sub right now, from http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453859696&sr=8-1&keywords=star+wars+the+old+republic so see where it goes. The game is fun, for new/returning players, but some veterans feel like Bioware hasn't treated them well. The player base of most games do complain, so I am trying to find my own opinion before jumping into the hate bandwagon. Populations of the servers seem alright, but PVP servers are pretty dead, but PVE servers are pretty bumping. There are 3 big populated servers for NA and one EU.

There is player and guild housing called Strong Holds and Guild ships, but I haven't jumped much into it and there's a ton of features there, but I haven't done much of it.

Oh, and yes the engine has gotten somewhat better, but it still needs a lot of work, but I just don't know if it ever will.

And the CASH SHOP. It's NOT Pay 2 win. All the items in cash shop are pretty much all Cosmetic. There are some dumb restrictions to F2P, but I feel this game is more Free to Trial then really Free to Play, though a good amount of people do play Free. Also like I said, you can just buy a month unlock everything then go free, but be sure to purchase all you want when you're a sub because as soon as sub ends, the 350k credit cap comes in. The F2P aspect is REALLY restricting imo, and you'd be very much better served to sub.

There's a lot of other stuff as well I didn't talk about here.

u/SFG_OddGodd · 1 pointr/swtor

Pretty sure any game package you pay money for these days will have at least a month of subscription included.

This Amazon bundle gives you 3 months game time and $24 worth of Cartel Market currency, for $40, or you can just sub for a month if you want to spend less.

u/_Apostrophe_ · 1 pointr/swtor

IIRC - Pre-ordering gave you:

  • Initial Game Purchase
  • Early Access
  • First Month Free

    The 30-days of free gametime, were applied to the very first month the game launched, so that 30-days is long gone.

    The Amazon KOTFE Bundle is afaik the best deal around at the moment.

    http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8

    You get:

  • 90 Days of Gametime (worth $45)
  • 2400 Cartel Coins (worth $20)
  • All Exp Packs (no value at this point)
  • Vanity Pet

    It's $65-ish worth of stuff, for $40.

    Something to note: I do believe you can only redeem this code once per account.
u/mcgunn48 · 1 pointr/swtor

I don't know if you can buy this where you are, but this KotFE Starter Pack on Amazon is a good deal. You can only use it once per account though. It's a digital code you are buying so there's no need to wait for shipping. Another alternative is finding the 60 day time cards. They can be rebought and applied to an account indefinitely of course, but they are physical cards that take time to be shipped. Amazon sells those as well.

u/badcookies · 1 pointr/swtor

The best bundle is the amazon one:
Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire Starter Pack - Amazon Bundle

https://smile.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8

You get 90 days for $40 which is already cheaper, plus you get 2400 coins up front and some pet (bleh).

However, you can only use it once. So if that is the pack you previously bought, no good :(

I'm guessing they will replace that bundle soon with a new one for the KOET

u/throwaway728941 · 1 pointr/swtor

u/srmalloy · 1 pointr/swtor

It's not the game time cards, it's the Star Wars: The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire Starter Pack - Amazon Bundle. You get 90 days of subscription, 2400 cartel coins, and access to all released content up through whatever the currently-released KotFE chapter is. It's a one-time purchase; you can only use this bundle on an account once (i.e., can't purchase and two to get 180 days and 4800 cc on one account).

u/Teslok · 1 pointr/swtor

You can - subscribe, make sure it goes through, and then the next day you un-subscribe.

You'll still have the game time you paid for, but you won't be auto-billed for another 30 days when that time runs out.

I'm not sure but they might also still offer the 60-day one-time game time purchase.

For a slightly better deal--you're paying more but get more cartel coins, you could also buy a Bundle

And I don't mind additional questions. If I don't answer, it's because I'm busy, but I'll usually try to answer.

u/ChadCloman · 1 pointr/swtor

I don't think I've ever seen a discount on subscriptions or CC. That being said, however, Amazon sells a special time card that gives you 90 days plus 2400 cartel coins for $40. This is slightly less than the official SWTOR price of $42 for a 90-day subscription, and you essentially get the cartel coins for free.

u/AbstractSaltiness · 1 pointr/swtor
u/AccomplishedSnow0 · 0 pointsr/swtor

It seems like you don't realize that the majority of the rules on that thread is about posting referral codes and how to subscribe. Here let me show you:



      • What is a referral code?


        Subscribers


        All subscribed players have a referral code they can share players who have subscribed in the past, but who are not subscribed now, or with players who do not have accounts yet. If another player uses their link and then subscribes, the referrer recieves free Cartel Coins for every month the referred stays subscribed.

        Preferred Players


        If you are a preferred player who has subbed in the past, but you are not subbed now, you can use a referral code to get a free bundle of useful items and 7 days of free subscription (note this does not unlock expansions). Preferred players can only use a referral code once ever 90 days. Please note, that offering in-game credits or item in exchange for referrals is not allowed in this thread.

        Free-to-Play Players


        Free-to-Play players can not use referral links (nothing will happen if you use one).

        New Players Without Accounts


        If you do not have a SWTOR.com account yet, you can click a referral code and then sign up. This will give you a small bundle of free items when you create your character.
