  • One of the great things about Star Wars: The Old Republic is that players can subscribe for one month, and then unsubscribe afterwards and retain access to the latest expansions and the ability to level to level 70. Here are SWTOR Subscriber Tips for players who will only be subscribing for a short time, what to do while subscribed, and how to easy the transition of going from Subscriber back to F2P when your sub expires!

    Going from subscription to preferred isn't too bad of a transition if you prepare beforehand - here's some tips and tricks for players going from sub to F2P in SWTOR.
    *** Create Characters
    Subscribing unlocks many more races, with each class gaining new default races you can choose from. After a player unsubscribes, these new options become unavailable again unless the player unlocks them through other means.
    Additional races that become unlocked for subscribers:
    Chiss: Bounty Hunters and Imperial Agents
    Miraluka: Jedi Knights and Jedi Consulars
    Mirialan: All Republic classes
    Rattataki: Bounty Hunters, Imperial Agents, and Sith Inquisitors
    Sith Pureblood: Sith Warriors and Inquisitors
    Twi’lek: Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler, and Sith Inquisitor

    *** Buy Expensive Things
    Free-to-Play players have a credit cap of 200,000 credits. Preferred players have a credit cap of 350,000 credits.
    Players may want to look into buying:
    Cosmetic Armor from the GTN
    Cosmetic Mounts from the GTN
    Character and Legacy Unlocks from the Legacy Panel
    Strongholds (expensive strongholds like Tatooine, Yavin 4, Manaan)
    Stronghold Room Unlocks
    Decorations for your Stronghold
    Inventory, Bank and Legacy Bank Slots
    Account & Character Unlocks from the GTN (availability is limited)
    Put Excess Credits in your Legacy Bank
    *** Rush or Take Your Time
    If you aren’t already max-level, you’ll have two options. Subscribed players gain the ability to earn gear at level 70 through the Galactic Command system, which becomes deactivated once you unsub. If you are very interested in gearing up, you can rush to level 70 and then spend your one month doing activities that gain you gear like operations or pvp, or by doing activities that gain you CXP like heroics, story chapters or flashpoints.
    If you’re still a low level, you may also just want to take your time. The good news is that you will gain the ability to reach level 70 and play the expansions even after you unsubscribe. Some players misunderstand the way the expansion unlocks work - you do not have to stay subscribe to level up and play the stories, you only have to have subscribed at least once to unlock them in the first place.
    *** Section X
    Section X is one of the areas that become unavailable after you unsubscribe, so players at level 50 or higher will want to complete this area and the HK-51 quest started in this area before they unsub.
    *** Operations
    Operations, the 8-man level 50+ group content, are one of the few activities that you can not do once you unsub. If you want to try operations, make sure to get into a group before your subscription expires.
    *** Redistribute Your Goods Before Unsubbing
    Preferred players have a default limit of 12 active characters per server. If you have many characters, you won’t be able to play them all while unsubscribed, so make sure to redistribute any credits or unbound items to characters you’ll be playing actively.
    *** After you Unsub
    Once you unsubscribe, don’t forget after 90 days you can use a friend’s referral code for 7 days of free subscription. You can use these free 7 days to earn high level gear, buy expensive things with your escrowed credits, and take advantage of any of the other subscriber-only perks like being able to gear up though galactic command or join operations.

    One thing I do when I'm preferred is to keep a watch out for sub rewards. They sometimes only require you to be a sub on a particular date to qualify and the sub via the 7day referral link counts. I recently got the armour and Chiss speeder by using the code a few days before the deadline date.

    Wow, Swtorista, you must have some sort of Force precognition, because I just got a 30-day subscription (first time I've subscribed!) that I am not planning to renew. I thought your video was very informative and helpful--thank you very much! I just have one question: So Section X allows you to gain access to a new companion. Will I have to fully complete the missions needed to get the companion while I am a subscriber, or will I just be able to start the mission as a subscriber and finish it later when I am only preferred? Additionally, is the companion (once unlocked) account/server wide, or do I have to get the companion for every character that I want him on?
    Thanks again!

      I haven't done it recently, so my memory is a bit hazy. dulfy.net/2012/10/11/swtor-patch-1-5the-hunt-for-hk-51companion-droid/ and this video guide shows you need to find all the parts and return to Section X ua-cam.com/video/LEGL79VfO7I/v-deo.html and I believe you pick up HK-51 on Section X itself on the Fatality crashed ship. If you aren't subbed you won't be able to get back to Sec X I believe. Once you complete the quest line on any character, you can get a legacy unlock for any character for 1,000,000 credits.

      Well, ask yourself the question why that is. Clearly BioWare wants to push people into subbing or spending money (escrow) where they can. In the end I can't blame a company for wanting to make money but there's a lot about the how where BioWare could do a lot better.

      I played this game from the beta. I was there when it went live with early access. I was there when about 80% of the players left in less than 6 months after release. I was there for the server merges in that year as well (two rounds there were) and the introduction of F2P and the cartel market.
      I wasn't happy about F2P and the CM but I knew that the game was almost dead and they had to do something to give the game a future. So I bought cartel packs to support a brighter future for SWTOR.
      Then RotHC came out and the abandoned the class stories. We just got a planetary story arc for each faction.
      Then SoR came out and reduced everything to one story. Also this expansion was smaller than the previous one.
      Then KoTFE came out. A single story again but no new group content. They just made everything easier and bumped existing group content to max level. Instead of new content we got the same content that we already beat many times.
      Then KoTET came out and we got yet a smaller expansion and they did the same trick with endgame and added a terrible endgame reward system that drove many people away. This ultimately led to another round of server merges.
      Now I've stopped playing the game. Now I spent easily 150 bucks per month on this game for quite some time and what I got in return was smaller and smaller expansions, rehashed content and bad progression systems.
      So please, don't give me this bs about paying for the future. They put that money in EA's pockets and they'll do the minimum they can get away with. This game has no future. It's just going to be kept alive for those who are still willing to throw their money at it. This game isn't even a shadow of what it used to be.
      I don't need it die, but it's fine by me if it does. I'd rather have no SWTOR than what it is today myself...but I don't mind if other people want to keep it alive. Good luck with it. I can't wait to see how disappointing 6.0 will be.

      It has good sides (like getting access to all content with a single subscription and the ability to use that subscription to get a huge advantage and almost feel like a paying player), but it has a lot of bad sides too. As someone who had played the game before it went F2P, I was kind of disgusted at the restrictions of races that I could previously create character as. I wasn't aware of it so when I deleted an old character to restart the story, I found myself without way to create it.
      F2P also used to heavily restrict action bars (to two I think which was unplayable) but they walked back on that one cause it was outrageous.

    Such a mindboggling amount of hoop jumping (your explanations were spot on, and well structured, my gripe is with the messy SWTOR business model) Also, maybe it was because of when I unsubbed initially (between the Hutt Cartel expack and the next one...shadow of Revan?) but I never got back around 4M credits that went into escrow. That, and then losing names due to numerous server merges, just kinda sealed the deal for me on ever coming back to SWTOR.

      it's about what? 12$ a month? for a $/hour rate, it's not that expensive tbh, and the fact that you can play pretty much most content after subbing once is a plus.
      Many AAA games are priced at 60$ to 80$ and they don't give you even 40 hours worth of gameplay.

    Credit Cap as non subscriber is ok but 350k isn't enough for anything in the endgame. Especially today where the prices in the GTN are much higher than 2 years ago.

    • @Swtorista
      @Swtorista  6 років тому +1

      From what I remember when I went preferred. I had a bunch of characters while subbed. I unsubbed. All my characters became "deactivated" - I then got to pick which ones I wanted to play based on the number of slots I had (which is now roughly 12). I activated one, then activated another a different day, etc, and then when I ran out of slots I couldn't play the ones that were deactivated until I resubbed. The why is easy - because they want to you to resub :P

    If u want to get the BEST MAX of the SWTOR experience - subscribe after playing all the classes. U will get a huge amount of new content so it will fell like a whole new game.
