For the BARC speeder I have an idea of how they should make us be able to get it. Let the people who get the all in one thing get it and also make a mission for Master Artisians. This is how it will work. You go to this Cantina and youll see a clone like Mort, except no cyber arm. When you talk to him, you have a conversation with him about how he was in the clone wars and that he wants to get off of the planet but doesnt have a ship or any money. He asks you if you can help him by getting him a ship. So you get 3 wp and you need to either put a harvester down or harvest your self for 500 of 3 materials. any steel, polymester, and a gas. Or something that would more likely be used to build a ship. then you give it to him and he sais thanks and he asks you to take it to a place and get a ship built with a special code he gives you. When you give him the deed for it he gives you the schematic for the BARC speeder. It takes a bit more recources that a swoop so it would cost around 30-35k. Post any ideaspls.

Thats a great idea actually. But maybe make it where you have to actually harvest the resources youself, and not with a harvester. Just to give it a little more time added to it. Who knows, maybe with Pub 17 there will be a quest. Wouldnt suprise me with what the devs do with their secrets.

Yeah I guess it should be self harvested so you can actually earn the vehicle. O and I forgot to add that when you make and give him the ship the clone goes : "I cant thanks you enough, take this its all I have. It's a schematic for the BARC speeder that were used in teh clone wars. I was the commander of a BARC squad.

If you want one buy the box..
Other players can't get a Flash Speeder or a varactyl too so live with it or buy the box.

Why not? It's almost the same price as the digital download.

the point of the people not getting over the barc speeder is that everyone who was an existing player WAS able to get the varactyl and tat speeder, it was just that they needed to order early to qualify. Now they are making the requirements for getting the BARC that you buy thegame again.
SOE here are showing several things
(1) they dont feel it is important to reward long term players as much as it is important to bribe new players in. In a word they are looking at the new to mid range players more than the long term players for their revenue,
(2) SOE devs clearly, depsite their protestations, have lost touch with the player bases reasons for playing and havent recognised that players who play long term like to collect eveything they can and to have something they cant reach without spending extra cash for a needless item is evidence of either SOEs lack of insight or more scarely, their contempt for such players.
(3) you ll notice the varactly is tradeable so the comments above are somewhat incorrect.

But everyone wants the BARC speeder and whats the point of spending 30$ for a speeder ingame. Unless you are getting teh expansion. And why would new players wanna come jsut because of a speeder? and some expansions. And this isnt about new players this is a quest on how to get an item!

No No No! There is a way to get this bike. If you don't want to get the bike that way then you live without it. Period! I would hate for the devs to make the AV 21, Barc or Flash speeder available in any different way than it is already. The devs just gave Master Artisans the ability to make 3 new vehicles. Appreciate that and stop being greedy. If you simply must get the Barc then buy the box or trade or buy it.

If you want it then buy it ingame or just buy the box. If you don't want to spend the money then you have to live without it.
