Welp, I accidentally deleted the source files along with other clips to free up disk space. (I have got to play these fucking games taking up space)
So that clip is final :lol
That said, future clips will be edited to allow the text to be easier to follow. Thanks again Tan for the feed back.

I thought 1.5 was bringing us the new WZ? I could have misunderstood, but I had my hopes pinned on it. I am hurt and feel alone.
They said several things were possibly next

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?

In an interview I saw with Gabe from Gamescom he said TFB was coming next, then likely HK and then the warzone. So it'll be in 1.6.
After checking out the new daily area on PTS they have a world boss in that zone that walks right through what looks like a destroyed city square right between the Imperial and Republic areas. Seems very much like it was put there to encourage world PVP, drawing on the feedback from the world boss in Outlaw's Den during the Rakghoul event.

From what I understand the boss has multiple stages. He starts off easy. Each time you kill him comes back and the more you kill him the harder he gets and the better loot he drops. I don't know what he specifically drops though.
PvP not filling. Usually leaves 7 (sometimes 6) in a game that usually never fills.
Oh wow that sucks. Guess you can tell I don't PvP much anymore in SWTOR.
You can generally overcome 7, depending on your competition. 6 is another story. I've done it, but it's really tough.

On the fleet in the Supplies section.
I've checked him a few times, but he doesn't seem to have any relics, just regular gear and ears/implants. Hm this is odd.

End game Relics are drops, player made, or daily vendored.

It's possible, I use PVP relics so I've never looked for any on those vendors. BattleMonkey has the correct answer.
Wow, this new build of Tor Assistant really makes things easy mode. It plays a sound or text to speech anytime your Hot/Dot runs out, and anytime you have a debuff placed on you. I guess this will help all the less aware people out there. It seems to have certainly helped the author out:
Here's another video, this time for Alderaan.
Alderaan patch 1.4
I'll add a tracklist later for anyone interested. I need to get some sleep now though.

Be interesting to use on my OP healer, might give it a look.
Also, here is a guide for Sorc/Sage healers for the last fight in HM TFB.
I haven't played in months, but I believe you can't get relics from him. You get them from raid drops, and Campaign relics from the daily vendor on Ilum/Bel.

Lol, I have 6 months paid sub under my belt but under cartel coins it just says "subscribe now to earn coins"

Show that I need to subscribe to get coins and I have been there from day 1 maybe its just not working correctly for everyone right now.

OH WHAT THE SHIT, you only get your coins if you have an active sub when F2P goes live? You don't automatically get them just for having bought the game and had X months subbed in the past?
That's fucking degenerate EA shit.

You get some but not all that you could. Some cartel bonuses say Active Subscribers and some say Active and Former Subscribers.
No, it specifically says on the page:
"Youll only receive your Complimentary Cartel Coins if youre active and subscribed when we go live with the new Free-to-Play option."

I can't check at the moment, the website is down but unless things have changed this was discussed on the official forums a few times and which bonuses you got varied.
Anoregon
The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
We are talking about different things. The bonuses do get vary based on when you sub.
HOWEVER
You can't collect ANY bonus coins AT ALL unless you have an active sub when the game goes free to play. If you had quit anytime between the game's launch and F2P, and come back to play after the F2P change, you get wonka'd. Nothing. Good day sir.
It's fucking disgraceful.
This is EA we're talking about. I'm not surprised in the least.

Yea lot of folks are going to be pissed about this. Everyone seemed to expect to get the cartel coins automatically if they subbed at all in the past.
\o/

Yea would be good to get some examples of what stuff is going to cost and what the coins translate into real $.

Fully expecting 400-500 coins per piece of armor with the chest armor being more(600). Color crystals to be 500ish with unique rare colors being 800ish and any exclusive store vehicles to be 1000+.
Yeah, it's very disingenuous to say one thing then all of the sudden add an asterisk to it later on. Especially since I bet a lot of people unsubbed and stopped following the game until the F2P goes live. Then again, they've done that so many times over the years, it doesn't even surprise me now.
My bet is people throw a fit, and they backtrack. They are probably just looking to get a few more subs where they can.
HarryDemeanor
Member
Ugh, that's complete bullshit. I'm getting 1600 coins but now I have to subscribe to get them. I really hope they backtrack on this decision.
Giolon
Member
I honestly don't think there's enough people left that care about this game for them to have to backtrack. Most people who would have been interested in coming back for the free Cartel Coins will probably see "You must subscribe before F2P to get your coins" and say "Fuck it, I'm gonna go back to Panda/GW2."
I say this as someone who's still currently playing the game.
