SWTOR

I don't think it will be the NDA drop yet.  Some of the fan sites from the last Summit mentioned that there was some cool things that they couldn't talk about, but would be able to soon.

I guess Draegan will have to come and give us a hint, since he's "in the know."

[Crumbs]

I heard a rumor that they were going to force everyone to pvp Huttball as the end-game.

As they should.  How else will we know who TRULY earned their gear?

[Lantyssa]

Bioware Social gave me a code, despite me already being in full-time.  Not sure if it's supposed to be a weekend pass or if others can use it though.

[Evildrider]

I read something about them giving people codes to hand out to friends.

[caladein]

Bioware Social gave me a code, despite me already being in full-time.  Not sure if it's supposed to be a weekend pass or if others can use it though.

As far as I can tell that's an "Event 1" code just like the pair that pre-orders are getting right now.  So, for the stress test weekend deal-y.

[Fordel]

There is a big RvR planet at 50.

Is it more like DAoC frontier RvR planet?  Or just another battleground type thing?

Supposed to be like DaoC, but I haven't seen it myself yet.

[proudft]

How are you not level 50 yet?

[Zetor]

I preordered, but no code... I guess they want me to play moar skyrim. 

[Sand]

I tanked in WoW. Im going jedi healer for SWTOR. I think having the insta-grouping feat is an awesome power.
Healing bullets?

Hopefully my wife doesnt screw up getting me the CE for Christmas.

[Sjofn]

People who hate healing bullets are worse than Hitler.

[Fordel]

How are you not level 50 yet?

They keep taking the damn servers down for patches and builds and shit. I'm leveling my Trooper the way Sickrubick leveled his Mercenary in DaoC.

[Sjofn]

Also! Ingmar and I tend to pick our classes with "can we fill the group with whatever other mouthbreathers are around (looking at you, PROUDFT) and drag them through a dungeon, kicking and screaming, and win?" in mind.    It's leftover angst from when he was a thane and I was a skald and our duo was ... subpar.

[Nevermore]

It's leftover angst from when he was a thane and I was a skald and our duo was ... subpar.

But awesome!

In other news, our guild full of Consulars (and one Trooper) should be fun. 

[Sjofn]

It's actually going to be full of smugglers, last I looked! Which is why I am eyeing the consular. I'll still probably level the smuggler on my own. Without slowpoke Ingmar WEIGHING ME DOWN. <cough> So she might hit 50 (it's 50, right?) first, depending on how bad I catass. 

[Ingmar]

A bunch of bandwagoners put down Consular because they saw that I had! But I am not actually sure what my main will be yet. I did like the Knight a lot.

[Nevermore]

Maybe it'll change when I finally get to try it out, or if the voice acting really sucks *cough*femaleworgen*cough*, but I've had my eye on Shadow for a long time now, even before I knew they could tank.  Seems like an awful lot of people are interested in them now, though.

By the way, how was Sentinel?  On the one hand they seem like they could be fun with that force jump.  On the other hand, I also get a 'ret paladin' vibe off them for some reason, in the 'everyone and their grandmother will make one' sort of way.

[Sjofn]

Ingmar liked the knight because he could manwhore it up. Don't let him tell you otherwise. My male twi'lek consular didn't get to slut it up at all. What is he supposed to be, some kind of monk? 

[DraconianOne]

Rather than resurrect the SWG demise thread, I'm going to shit this one up just to get it to 400.

Atmospheric flight and air-to-ground combat being added in SWG's last patch.

I'm firmly in the camp that still hopes the one thing that does get some proper post-release loving at some stage is the space combat in SWTOR although I think I can live without being able to fly on planets. Not that I've played it yet - but it does look and sound like it's a piece of crap.

[eldaec]

Only real threat to page 400 at this point is that 'certain core contributors' are now getting so excited they might literally die from anticipation.

[tmp]

I'll still probably level the smuggler on my own. Without slowpoke Ingmar WEIGHING ME DOWN. <cough> So she might hit 50 (it's 50, right?) first, depending on how bad I catass.

[Velorath]

Got an extra Beta Code (for an upcoming weekend) from pre-ordering from Origin if anybody needs it.  I'll PM it to the first regular poster who needs it and posts here.

[Cyrrex]

I are confused.  I pre-ordered via Origin back in July, and I gots nothing.  Am I not paying close enough attention?  Why did you get one, exactly?

[Velorath]

They just sent me an email around 10 hours ago or so.  Check your spam filter maybe.  It's sent from EA rather than Bioware.

   
As a special thank you for pre-ordering Star Wars: The Old Republic from Origin, we're giving you two Beta Codes for you and a friend to play together in the upcoming Beta! Hurry, codes must be redeemed by 11/18/11.

It then lists two codes.  They have to be redeemed on the SWTOR website (redeem codes in your account settings) by 11:59 CST on the 18th (tonight).

[Numtini]

If you preordered, did you put in your preorder early access code?

[Cyrrex]

Yeah, I entered my preorder code way back, and can see it is there in my bioware profile.

Checked spam mail, no joy.  Although there is an email from the FBI office in Florida trying to confirm whether or not I am dead, because apparently I may have 30.5 million coming my way.  Which, we would all admit, is even better than SWTOR beta.

[Velorath]

I'll PM you my extra code.  If you happen to get an email later on, just pass it along to someone else.

[Zetor]

I don't think you're guaranteed to get a beta code even if you preordered -- we have 6 preorders in my guild (all of them fairly early preorders, ~July) and only one of the 6 got codes.

e: of course it is possible that the others will get an email later, though with a 11:59 CST redemption deadline it doesn't seem too likely

[Cyrrex]

I'll PM you my extra code.  If you happen to get an email later on, just pass it along to someone else.

Awesome, mighty kind of you.

[Reg]

I also have an extra code if anyone needs it. PM me.

[Cyrrex]

I assume we need to redownload the launcher and enter the code there? 

[Reg]

No you redeem it at the "Redeem codes" part of your SWTOR account page on the website.

[Mrbloodworth]

People who hate healing bullets are worse than Hitler.

 

[Hawkbit]

I would like a code, please.  If anyone has a spare.  Much appreciated!  

Got one, thanks!!

[Nebu]

It's leftover angst from when he was a thane and I was a skald and our duo was ... subpar.

Priceless.  That comment made my day! 

[Minvaren]

Looking forward to the next stress-test weekend, and seeing how crafting looks.

Also, if anyone has Zash's phone #, it would be greatly appreciated.
