I have a meeting that starts in an hour and a half.   Argh!

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

That PSA is 100% correct. Anyone expecting to have a good gaming experience this weekend is in for a let-down. This is the weekend they intend to Break Shit.

Of course, then everyone will doomcast TOR because they're too dim-witted to understand what a stress test is and they're treating it like a free preview.

Should be fun and easily put us over 400.

If 400 doesn't unlock a SWTOR sub-forum prior to the game release, I don't know what will.  Let's just aim for that right now  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Ideally in my mind, they'd sabotage the game around sunday. And by that I mean offline the primary firewalls and such, and see how a failover impacts the system.

Marketing will probably ban that practice, but QQ. It's not production ready until someone has started yanking cables!

Did you have to restart the client or did it went active on itself ? (Loggin in takes more time each time I try. IT HAS BEGUN!  why so serious? )

edit: Client starting up now.

On the character I got in on, the quests were messed up and I had to go back to the start. That's not terrible, but it's less than a month. Lag is no worse than last time, but it really makes movement sluggish.

Blarg. I am apparently downloading shit via the patcher. I thought I'd already done this. Good thing I bought Skyrim for the 360.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

This game looks and plays too much like Anarchy Online. 9 years too late and with less originality.

Yep, this test is certainly causing stress.   why so serious?

Got in, played for a bit, realised that the character I rolled totally upsets their story dialogue because they assume that your character is a particular way (e.g. like rolling a fat character and the NPC says "Wow! You've got a great physique - you really must give me your diet plan!" but without the Renegade Interupt of punching them in the face).

Luckily, a friend gifted me DA:O last night so may end up playing that all weekend instead.

They're gonna need a bigger boat.

It's kinda funny though. I complained about server lag and I had people telling me they were running graphics on max and it was smooth as glass, which was obviously bullshit, but hey...

If the lag sucks too much, I'll go back to Skyrim until the frothing masses have been banished again. 

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.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Actually yes, I think it's inevitable if you're going to have a person to person game with blasters and such. AO was more plausible though with the Notum and such.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would happily pay to play AO done right.  I'll find out soon enough if this is the case.

Played for almost two hours before the server went down. Or the client crashed. I am not sure.

Gonna try to max out all the bells and whistles now to see how fast I can bring my aging rig to it's knees.

Mercenary/Commando
   Bodyguard/Medic : Healing bullets
   Arsenal/Gunnery : Long range direct damage
   Firebug/tactics : Huh more aoe maybe?
There are a few videos explaining how these classes work... they're fairly simplistic and informative if you don't mind occasional mumbling:
"healing bullets" spec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-RPPNujdxg
"spam that missile" spec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b7LesO6DLo
"burn stuff" spec (really hard to understand what he's saying sometimes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLpXrmecvzc


This is actually pretty useful stuff. The total lack of real description of the mechanics used by the 6 possible builds in each class mean I still have little idea what I might actually play.
