Can we go on a derail at how fucking bad Mythic is at making video games again?
I don't think I've bitched about 'hard coded' enough yet.

I'm waiting for the european beta WAVE (woosh), which is separate from the beta weekends (with the former, you enter the normal Game Testing cycle, not just the weekends). It should happen any day now. They are surely taking their time to set up that damn office in Galway :P

Are the servers going to be located in Galway or just customer services? Would be nice to play an MMO with a decent fucking ping for a change. |

From a personal viewpoint, yay if they are! But from an objective viewpoint it seems like an odd location; you'd be hard pressed to find a less central location and our infrastructure isn't exactly cutting edge in a lot of cases. Reading the rest of that thread it seems they are sending out the first wave of EU beta invites this weekend (proper, full beta invites not just weekend passes) but they'll initially be testing on the US servers until the EU ones are up and running. That might soothe the angry EU masses on the forums for a while at least. |

Filed under: Sanford, Fred: Georg Zoeller said:
The 'tank engine' as people call it was always a placeholder. Consulars will project a large variety of objects into your enemies.
That said, they are going to be pulled out of the ground, which may be 'immersion breaking' for some and beg the question of 'how come this planet has become the dumping ground for broken astromech units', which may be a mystery.
The limitation here is a technological one and while we're interested in pursuing a more environment appropriate selection of objects for you to throw, it won't happen for launch. If you're not into oiltanking, skip Consular. |

So with their weird limited beta weekends, are they still keeping the NDA?

You usually have to pay extra for that kind of action, Cotton. |
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

One of the things I like is that, with the exception of Imperial Agent and Smuggler, you can form a group consisting entirely of one class and complete a flashpoint/dungeon, provided you have one specced to tank and another to heal. I don't know how difficult it will be to respec your advanced class or if they will be allowing dual specs.

I'm pretty sure that's Not really. Class roles were already known to us awhile ago. |

Wait, really? In an interview? I think they had previously stated that the game was going to be less restricted in terms of roles and trinity, but I only saw that on wikipedia which has since been edited.
Edit: Nvm found the source for the previous statement, just an interview full of fluff.

Ah, if you read the class info on the SWTOR site, you'll find the info on the class roles. That and I read info from various places over the past year to 6 months on what each roles each class can perform. http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/classesEdit: Or go to the class forums and read up on them. http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=34 |

Isnt betatesting a multi-arced story-based game kinda  ? I'm sitting this one out for that simple reason. I 'spose I could test a different class than I intend to play, but every time I use that 'technique' I just end up staying in my comfort zone. So no, nope... no testing for me. ADGgdakd... :X grrrr |

I thought I read somewhere they may allow dual specs, dont recall where though. If they did it would be pretty dam nice because there are multiple classes who can heal. |

Nope, no dual specs. No dungeon finder, either.

Nope, no dual specs. Which is baffling because they confirmed (at either PAX or Gamescom) that Advanced Class switching will be in, which is the rough equivalent of saying "I'm tired of playing my Hunter today. I'm going to switch him over to a Rogue." |

I don't think they will allow you to switch your advanced class (Mercenary to Powertech for BH and vice versa) but they may allow you to have a dual spec within your advanced class. Say your BH took a healing spec with Mercenary. They may allow you to have a second spec that is more dps heavy. At least thats what I'm hoping for. |
