I whispered you but you didn't respond or add me to guild.

It wont let me whisper Asros until I get to level 10 because I'm free to play.

I was trying to look up if there was a way to unlock things without a subscription.In the cartel stuff like species unlocks says it requires legacy whatever that is.

Got to level 10. Got first companion. Unfortunately free to play is not letting me get all rewards. Most of the missions to get my bounty hunter into the great hunt gave me no items.

As far as I understand it, if you buy just 1 thing from the Cartel Shop your status will change to Preferred Player, which will loosen up some of the restrictions.

But let me double check it smile


This is what it says about it:

Quote:
How do I become a Preferred Status Player?

Preferred Status is a great way to unlock additional game features.

Upgrade to Preferred Status by purchasing anything from our store (www.swtor.com/buy).

A player who has purchased the game or is a Former Subscriber is automatically granted Preferred Status. The purchase of a Cartel Coin Card at participating retailers will also upgrade a Free-to-Play player to Preferred Status.

Players with Preferred Status accounts will receive the following benefits:

Can send in-game mail, including 1 (one) attachment.
Can trade securely with other players from Level ten (10) onwards
Can use the /who list and display their Legacy name
First Cargo Hold bay available for free (an 80 item Player Bank)
Sprint available from Level 1
Lower Repair costs
Lower Respecialization (Respec) costs
Five (5) simultaneous listings on the Galactic Trade Network (GTN)
Raised currency limits (Credits and Commendations)
Increased allowance for chat message frequencies in Public Chat channels
One (1) additional active Crew Skill Slot (for a total of 2)
Increased server queue priority

Yeah I bought the title unlock so I could display Hired Gun after my name. I had to exit the game and reload before I recognized that I was Preferred.

First I was "Josra, Hired Gu"n. Now "I'm Josra The Heartless" for blowing up a spaceship. Unlocked Legacy. Now I need a family name I guess. I think most of what legacy gets you either needs subscription or buying individual unlocks.

Yes, but I haven't done it yet. Don't know what its going to be.

I made up Josra from the name of old TV series character, Josh Randall, played by Steve McQueen in "Wanted: Dead or Alive". First three letters from the character's first name, last two from character's last name. My character isn't anything like the TV character who actually preferred not to kill if he could avoid it. He would if he could take wanted men in alive. My character prefers them dead, its easier. Apparently though he's actually dragging a woman's dead body around with him as he killed her on Hutta and has take to her to the Sith capital planet to get the bounty. That confused at first, I couldn't find where to finish the quest.

I made a jedi consular but don't know if I'll keep him. Melee is easier for me in Guild Wars 2. May switch back to smuggler.

I'm apparently a sucker for cash stores. I spent enough on cartel coins that I could have subscribed for a couple months. I purposly never added up what I spent on Guild Wars 1 and now Guild Wars 2's cash shops.

Legacy name is Panthera, from the cat family which includes lion, tiger, jaguar and leopard.

Right now I have the jedi consular in the family tree under rival, not a blood relative since the BH is a cyborg (ie human with electronic implants, and a bad scar, on his face which looks like a big cad mauled him) and the JC is Mirialan (green skinned humanoid with tatoos on his face).

Players in this game not very friendly. Two groups walked right up to me and wouldn't stop to revive me.

People revive each other in Guild Wars 2 all the time.

They way groups works takes some getting used to. In GW2 everybody gets there own drops. IN SWTOR if you're in a group some seem to be who ever picks them up first and others its a "role of dice" as to who gets it. If I don't need it I'm usually nice and pass on it.

My BH's companion gets upset when I do bad things or talk mean so I usually send her off to scavenge before I talk to NPCs. If the character I think it is is my JC"s first companion I think he will be the opposite, annoyed when I don't kill people.

If I'm doing the a mission in SWTOR which involves killing certain foes, or activating a machine or taking objects off of dead bodies and someone else beats me to to it I have to wait for the spawn to regenerate.

I usually use that time to sit back and relax my tense body and take time to actually enjoy the game by looking around smile

Don't like the last update. Took companion commands off the icon on the left side of the screen. Now have to bring up the companions window to dismiss or sell junk.

I deleted jedi. Trying smuggler again.

Smuggler's name is Rojavon. Roj from Roj Blake and avon from Kerr Avon, the two lead characters in the British science fiction series "Blakes 7".


Guess I need to find a Republic guild.

Yeah - I'd like that too.
Been leveling a couple of pubs this weekend, but I miss the chat from the guild :(

But they are thinking about it... that's always something. right? laugh
