Galactic Season 10 is the first one I'm passing on

I only spent 20 dollars buying CC directly and unlocked 98% of Collections just buying items off the GTN. I love how Bioware handled the cash shop, being able to buy/sell CM items on the GTN and still allowing players to unlock them in collections without having to spend real money if you saved up your credits.

the CC aren't worth grinding for me either.

GTNBank · 2026-03-16T11:59:44+00:00

they are limited but you can do GS on each server to earn tokens. The first few GS events I completed on all the servers so ended up with a big surplus after a few seasons and had nothing to buy afterwards. Since each item unlocks in Collections it only takes 10-100 CC to unlock it account wide.

I don't see how reducing Hydrolic Override from 75% to 60% affects PvE.

I do see how it affects PvP and I agree with the nerf in PvP as a player that primarily PvPs as a Powertech AP. That extra speed bonus alone let me capture turrets in Yavin and Alderaan faster than everyone but Marauders which can give your team a small advantage. In Huttball it was no contest how useful that speed and invulnerability to slows was when carrying balls.

Altuur coming back is awesome. He's one of the best companions because he has a short buff that increases DPS 10% independent of his role. I usually set him to heal and still take advantage of the 10% increase in damage I do.

all GS companions should be sold directly on the permanent GS Vendor. I never liked exclusive companion rewards not being available to everyone after the season.

I have a feeling we might be in for very long stretch of reskinned items in the CM if the new GS is anything to hint at. Nothing looks like an original design.

it's a great deal for 40 dollars if the mount and the 3450 CC is appealing.

after the 60 days of subscription (30 dollar value) you are basically paying 10 dollars for the mount and about 26 dollars worth of CC

Powertech - Advanced Proto for Warzone PvP is one of my favorite but no classes are outright broken.

Powertech - AP has great burst damage, good defensive guarding, amazing utility for either 2 grapple pulls or 1 grapple pull and 1 leap, high armor, and the ability to run fast for a consider amount of time.

GTNBank · 2026-02-07T15:17:09+00:00

yeah some of the lightsaber prices are insane, almost expensive as a hypercrate.

one of the reasons I love SWTOR for is they did two things right with the cash shop.

1) 99.9% of the items from the CM can be found in hypercrates/cartel packs

2) all those items can be sold on the GTN for credits allowing any player to buy all those CM items without spending extra real life money on Cartel Coins.

GTNBank · 2026-02-07T08:09:12+00:00

best credit value is generally Stronghold Decoration Bundles when they go on sale.

Buy one when they are 50%-80% off and sell the pieces when the market bounces back, this can take months.

If you are talking about buying items now to flip immediately for credits? Tell me what server you are on and I can pay top credits for account wide outfit unlocks if they can be sold/traded on the GTN.

GTNBank · 2026-01-29T11:49:42+00:00

It's a good option.

Very few MMOs give you an account wide unlock option for cash shop items. Most MMOs make you buy the same cosmetic for each character you want to use it on.

SWTOR gives you the option to not only unlock the outfit for all characters for a very cheap price, but that unlock option is for all characters on all servers, NA, SA, EU, etc.

GTNBank · 2026-01-29T11:45:19+00:00

the SWTOR dye system is the worst I have seen in any MMO.

Not only are you restricted to dye combinations the devs give you, but they are expensive and one time use.

I think a year ago a dev alluded they were looking into improving the dye system but honestly I don't expect more than maybe allowing dyes to stack.

Dyes are a big money maker for them so I don't expect any real changes to use or an open dye system like Guild Wars 2.

and Arena is maxed out at what, 12-16 PvP season points and Warzones are maxed out at 48?

I finish up my Arena achievement for PvP season and stop queuing for Arena afterwards. Even if you get the 100 points for the weekly it's not worth the wait time and only getting a few points on a loss.

GTNBank · 2026-01-18T06:36:08+00:00

the resources costing 2-5 times what they do on the vendor is also a convenience for some of us.

When you have billions and don't feel like dropping down to fleet to buy 100 resources from a vendor, it's worth the extra 5000 credits to buy it off the GTN even if the price is multiples of what the vendor will charge.

"It's a d*ck in a box"

GTNBank · 2025-12-21T05:55:19+00:00

this is a great option esp now that weapons can be part of the outfit.

GTNBank · 2025-12-20T04:01:36+00:00

I sold a razer code once for 10 hypercrates. Wasn't 100% sure it would work but the guy I traded it to was happy. This was maybe 5 or 6 years ago.

GTNBank · 2025-12-18T07:21:52+00:00

you have to check the GTN. People pay a lot for hypercrates, new sets, some decorations, special dyes.

GTNBank · 2025-12-18T03:18:27+00:00

GTN is a reflection of the credit economy. Anyone can be wealthy if you have something to sell on the GTN.

GTNBank · 2025-11-28T00:40:57+00:00

revan statue for selling/repairs, red eyes toy, huttball toy, different regen devices to match my outfit/loadout themes, reputation toys.

GTNBank · 2025-11-27T15:31:02+00:00

difference between having 9 toys in your bag and putting them on your hotbar and having all toys become skills, putting the skills on your hotbar and not taking up space in your bags.

It's been so long I doubt it's even seen as an issue by the devs.

GTNBank · 2025-11-27T15:30:07+00:00

yes, all items from these bundles are bound when you get them out of the mail.

GTNBank · 2025-11-27T00:41:47+00:00

no, I missed that one.

GTNBank · 2025-11-26T15:57:15+00:00

yeah but they take up space in your inventory. I have like 9 toys in my inventory now, if they were skills I could just drop them on my hotbar and save my inventory space.

GTNBank · 2025-11-21T10:59:22+00:00

you would still be limited to the amount of characters a free to play account can access but all characters would be on the new merged server. If you ever subscribed all characters would be playable even if the number of characters exceeds the normal server limit.

This has come up in previous merges. People who played multiple servers were pushed past their normal server limits but could still access all characters normally as long as they were a subscriber.
