I was going to say no, and that made me remember: aren't the servers going down for a few hours tonight? I vaguely remember that from the head start information that the night of release was going to be a 3-6 hour downtime.

Yup... goin down, but I dont believe they've said when or for how long.  I'd assumed it'd be for most of the day.
Launch technically is tonite at 12:01am.

that's midnight GMT right? Which is 2AM local  :awesome_for_real:

My plan for tabing out of my wow raid to send the foozles on slicing missions is still in full effect. It's alts, I don't have to pay attention, someone else will wipe us plenty fast :uhrr:

Also: swtor.com wants me to use my authenticator code to log in. Guess I won't be surfing the site from work any time soon.

Most of my gametime is after midnite anyways.  I at the least want to gauge what the launch will be like as I do believe this game will create a lot of non-early access stragglers.  Cross thy queue fingers.

Please tell me that you're joking.  I've been playing more than I should since the early start and I'm only approaching 30.  Granted, I'm listening to the stories and wandering around a lot... and losing at Huttball.

I have a leveling disease, but I am joking. I hit 31 last night on my smuggler. AND DON'T TRUST ANYONE IN SLAP WHO MENTIONS ANYTHING ELSE. :oh_i_see:

They won't have the money to buy much, right when they log on for the first time, so you'll probably make more money anyway if you wait a couple days.  Do farm stuff for sale though, so you have a large stock.

You guys/gals are impressive. Other than trying to do the bear minimum to keep my pregnant whacked out on hormones nut ball of a wife from killing me, I have been in game round the clock.
And yet Im only at lvl 18 and havent even started an alt yet.
:cry:


Most CATASS HARDER!!!!11! :drill:

Post by: Surlyboi on December 19, 2011, 12:09:31 PM
Seven characters at 12 or higher. I'd be higher, but the wife would kill me. The eye-rolling as I played on the plane out could be heard on the ground.

LMAO. and  :drill: for playing on a god damn plane. That is awesome.

If I add up my toons, I would be 50 exactly... 20 16 14. And I haven't even cracked open Balmorra or Nar Shad yet. Nor do I have a republic toon. I should be good for at least 3 months!  :why_so_serious:

But I has LVL 9 PURPZ  :drillf:

Level 26, only played the one character. I'm pretty slow leveling, I consider this way too fast. Want some xp locks, especially on space, FPs and pvp.

He claimed it didn't count when I asked him.  I think it does.

Something for you altaholics to ponder.  You open up your Legacy bar after your first character makes it to Act 1.  After that all your characters add to your Legacy XP.  It might be worth it to at least get someone that far so you'll be getting that xp going.  Not that it matters atm since you only get access to your last name, but no point in not getting a head start on it.

I have no cares available for the legacy system. I know I'll be leveling enough alts after actually getting the name, plus there's like ... nothing to the system right now anyway.

I have a 26 sage I've been duoing with Ingmar, a level 21 smuggler, and a level 12 manquisitor. I've been lazy.  :why_so_serious:


Title: Re: Launch Events
Post by: Ghambit on December 19, 2011, 04:05:01 PM
I was under the impression the legacy system would be retroactive when they get their crap together.  So it's not?
FUUUUUUUU   Can I even add current alts to the legacy when the main gets there?

more on topic:  we dont have any london, austin, or nyc peoples curious about the launch "parties?"  cmon, I know there's a few torheads in here that want to go. 


Title: Re: Launch Events
Post by: Evildrider on December 19, 2011, 04:06:22 PM
Your alts will be fine, you just won't have the xp available.  You just have to unlock it to get it rolling.

Either Spike or G4 (or both) has already jumped on the bandwagon.  They had a marathon over the weekend I believe.

It doesn't though. The time to level up, say, 5 characters to level 10 is a lot shorter than one character to level 50 (barring game breaking bugs).

Post by: CmdrSlack on December 19, 2011, 05:55:12 PM
So if Act 1 is immediately after the prologue (so once you get your ship), I must have missed the whole legacy thing. Or maybe I am confusing Act 1 with Chapter 1? I guess I'll try to puzzle this out in about 2 hours, 55 minutes.  :awesome_for_real:


Title: Re: Launch Events
Post by: Mazakiel on December 19, 2011, 06:02:31 PM
You don't unlock the legacy until you finish Act 1.  I'm level 31 or so and am still in Act 1. 

To be fair, I've done a lot of exploring and space ship stuff, so my level is a bit higher than it should be for where I am questwise. 


Title: Re: Launch Events
Post by: Cadaverine on December 19, 2011, 06:29:52 PM
From what I've heard, Act 1 ends when you finish Tattooine.  I've only just started there, though, so no clue.

Unless it's different from other classes (I played SI) it ends after Alderaan.

That very well could be.  Tattooine was just what was mentioned in general last night. 

Also, how many acts are there, and do they continue on after you hit 50?

Operating on memory, there's three, and yes they continue on.

Ok, so not having actually watched BW's "Unboxing the CE" video (because I expected it to be something along the lines of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrdHe__tt3U)), I was not prepared for the actual size of the CE.

I believe the quote "That's no moon..." would be relevant here  :ye_gods:
