You have connections?

(13th is Tuesday, grin)
 
Forum wipe is this weekend. I think it's just because they use the same account login servers and they're updating those...

Well, here's the question...are they willing to evolve it over time? Keep expanding? EVE for example, is space only, no ground combat...but isn't Dust 514 supposed to integrate? If they add true space combat later, that's fine, even if 5 years down the road.

Of course, now, for true space combat it would need to function almost like...I want to say a first person shooter but that's not what I mean...it would be twitch combat, you shoot, and you hit or miss based on skill and not dice rolls. Of course, being Star Wars, everyone can have awesome deflector shields that you have to wear down.

There has been chatter (and by chatter, I mean it like the feds talking about chatter among terrorist groups that there may or may not be an attack) that they will expand space combat out more. Now will it be railed like it is now? Probably not. But I think back to the old X-wing vs Tie Fighter game. That could be a possible way of slowly implementing it.

Wow.

I forgot to post the before hand and you beat me to it. Originally I was told they were thinking about moving it up to the 12th for early access. So we would start on that Monday and have all week while Bioware does a rolling early access launch. This way everyone gets to join for early access by the 15th.

I was told not to tell anyone else that and usually I do anyhow for you guys. Because they can't trace it back to me here 🙂 Still it must have slipped my mind. You guys found out anyhow.

So I registered my pre-order/early access on 20 July. Any idea when I'll get in?
I believe the earliest folks were 15 July?
 
I'm trying to register mine today! lol So...it would be nice to get in early at all.

Didn't pre-order til yesterday, and the stupid site just takes me back to the swtor homepage when I try to enter my code. Waiting on Customer Support to get back to me again...they were blazing fast by the way on the initial response--sent in a ticket yesterday evening and had a response before 5am this morning. That was unexpected.

Nice i did mine July 22nd so hopefully get in early. Gotta say for some reason i thought it was still 2 weeks away but kind of excited its only couple days now.

I just want to get to level 10-15 before more people get in. One nice thing about the beta testing was it was crowded levels 1-10, not so bad on corrusant, then Taris (or whatever world it was lol) was nice and empty which was nice.

Though ill only have ~5 hours to play at the most each day. but based on the beta level 1-10 only took ~6 hours or so. Probably be quicker since itll be my third time doing it lol.

The first 20% of registered accounts is well past July. It's up to mid august or so. I can check later to get an exact cut off date for that perhaps.

Im not to worried to be honest. im pretty casual so its not like im racing to 50 or anything anyways. Just hoping to beat the mad rush like i saw in the beta stress tests where i would have to wait and fight for quest items

Assasin-Tank/CC, Sorcerer-Healer/CC, Merc-DPS/Offtank and Operative-DPS/Offhealer.

I think I'm going to be a Trooper to start. Not sure about trees or anything as I did not get very far in the betas and have not ready much else either, but I'd try to make my guy workable solo so I am not reliant upon grouping (not that have issues grouping with people, I just like to be able to work on my own when need be). ^_^

What server? Me and a few friends are down to join someone's group.

I'm plotting on either Counsler or Sawbones (Scoundrel healer)

Trooper was fun for me ,going to make Combat Medic and Jedi Sage.

I'm just waiting now for them to sort out the client download for early access nextweek,stuck at "The login service is unavailable" .

I gotta admit: I'm going in blind to this game. I can have fun with Star Wars, but I'm not a huge fan like I used to be (pre-prequels). So, I haven't read up on it at all until some co-worker friends talked me into playing with them this week. Where are some good places to start reading about character progression, the crafting system, etc?
