Hate this fucking launcher. I've typed my password over and over again, changed it several times and it still gives me "wrong email address, password, etc" error. Tried RSVPing to the test, get the confimation email, try to follow the link to reinstall the launcher and it asks me to RSVP again.  Did you set up the ten security question gauntlet yet? I had to do that before it let me dl. Yeah, did that a week ago but now I have all sorts of crap wrong. I answered the RSVP for beta testing and got a confirmation email. I tried to reinstall the launcher from that link in the email and it asks me to RSVP again. Hit accept and it loops back to the RSVP screen. I think it has to do with their shitty website not being able to handle the traffic for all their invites. |

Ha.. they just took it down and threw up the "scheduled maintenance" page. Looks like everyone crashed it. |

@SWTOR SWTOR.com is currently experiencing a high volume of traffic, please check back soon. We thank you for your patience! I like how their launcher and their website appear to be tied together. Can't tell what the error message I'm getting on the launcher is but it disappears immediately. |

If you are a believer in the Mark Jacobs NDA Drop Quality Indicator, this game should be pretty good. I can't remember the last time an MMO dropped its NDA more than a month prior to release.

Ugh, I have tons of problems with the installer every time it's a major update. Usually have to close it a re-download everything 5+ times before it actually works. Always get stuck at some various point with "An error occurred updating".
*edit* Oops, lied a little. Seems I get stuck in Installing Main Assets 4 repeatedly this time.

I had to do that before it let me dl. Thanks for this - the launcher was giving a quick error and then resetting, so I couldn't tell WTF was going on. Then once I got logged into the launcher, it helpfully told me about the new security requirements...  |

It really was a scheduled maintenance. Please note that SWTOR.com will be undergoing maintenance from 6:00 PM CST on Monday, 11/21 until 6:00 AM CST on Tuesday, 11/22. During that time, you will not be able to visit the Game Tester Portal to accept your invitation. Please visit the website before or after this window to accept your invitation, and thank you for your understanding! |

Error 404: Title not found.

Sounds like yesterday was a good day to sell Activision short. Guys, please stop talking about the market. The dow and nasdaq are both down ~2% today due to the congress supercommitee "surprisingly" failing to reach a decision on the deficit. ATVI actually outperformed the market by only dropping 1.41%. If you look at year to date, ATVI only dropped 4.5% the entire year including the 1.41% today. It's not doing great, hence the downgrade, but it's hardly in freefall. You left out the part about it dropping 15% since Q3 earnings release. I don't want to continue it any more here either, but you should present the total picture of the situation before and after release when the stock had been trading at 13 and was projected to hit 15 before the earnings change. That's my only point. |

And that 15% was down from a 52 week high, to a value that's still higher than their average for the year. You're seeing things you want to see. (Much like the crazy people who drove it up to that $14 amount in the first place.) |

Is it true you can't move the chat window or map? Because if it's true then that's just clownshoes. I've had my chat in the bottom left in every single MMO I've ever played, starting with DAoC. And the map needs to be in one of the top corners, doesn't matter which. |

I remember one mmog that launched with the entire chat system defaulting to off and where the icon to turn it on was so tiny and indecipherable that it took many people here days to find the damn thing.
So clownshoes is relative is what I am saying.

And the map needs to be in one of the top corners, doesn't matter which. You can move the Chat Window, but it's fucking useless to do so because you can't move ANYTHING else on the UI. So there is just no where to put the fucking thing. The base UI isn't terrible (I actually like it for the most part, most of the relevant info is in the right spots for me), but not being able to even move stuff around is as you say, clownshoes. I was moving UI elements around in god damn DAOC. The big thing for me though in regards to the UI, is the quickbars. I have 2 bars on the bottom middle, and that's fine... but I really, really want another like... 8 button slots down there, 4 on each row. I have the space for it, it seems like something I should be able to do with a modern MMO, but nope, your extra quickbar slots are on the extreme left or right edge of your monitor and you'll LIKE IT.  This is something that again, they *SHOULD* be able to fix, maybe even before release, probably in the first patch after if I was a betting man. But still, it's going to be compared to every other MMO out there, and all of those let you at the very very least, move shit around. |

Able to move UI elements in DAoC? Pfft, we were moving them around in EQ! And we were making our own custom objects in MOO's and MUSH's (and even some MUDS) These could totally redefine your gaming experience!

Oh I remember doing that, too; only to be disappointed when I found out you needed a hard drive to save the really fun games to. Yes and no. WoW had a lot more abilities than EQ could ever have hoped to for some classes. Warriors, for example, only had Kick, Taunt, Disarm & Bash as active button pushing skills in EQ. Blizzard - as is their way - took ideas from more games than that single one. The anti-damage bubble thing was stolen from DAOC rather than EQ if you want to say it came from another game. (Although the idea was older than that.) |

(Although the idea was older than that.) Well I can get "instant heal that leaves a hot" or the concept of "bubble-absorby-heal". What I don't get is why they're straight up copy/pasting abilties. I understand why weakened soul is there, but even in the current itteration in wow, if there weren't other synergies with talents, it'd be sort of redudant. Just seems like lazy design to do it in exactly that same way. Case in point - not devastate and not lava burst. |

That' basically how I felt. I don't mind similar abilities but throughout there are straight, 100% copies of WoW abilities. It's lazy and it's more obvious than they think. Now, plenty of people won't care but again... once the paint cracks, you don't want to be playing the exact same game you just left.

I'll be interested to see how Generation WOW handles things like the UI at release. In Rift, the screaming hordes were obnoxious about anything and everything that differed from WoW. It has to have a random cross server dungeon finder. It has to have fully active add ons for DPS and threat meters and semi-automated healing. HAS TO HAS TO.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

I wouldn't call something as important as a dungeon finder a mere UI issue. I got nausea inducing flashbacks when I played a couple weekends ago, left the newbie planet and started seeing all those lfg requests in general chat. There is no excuse for an mmo in this day and age with this budget and this many years in development not to have such an awesome feature.
