Star Wars: The Old Republic - SWTOR (MMO) news, trailers, etc., thread

I registered with their website, using your name Ubergeek, to vouch for me. I hope you don’t mind; the website didn’t like the idea of me leaving it blank. I registered under the name Cwyn.

not a problem at all… any gwc’er is absolutly welcome! make sure to put me as a reference if you sign up!

And the game is down. ): I’e been trying to play non-stop. But, something changed between this release and the version from the Thanksgiving beta weekend. The camera gets me motion sick now. ):

For instance, if you are standing still and a mob spawns to your right, when you start attacking, your character will turn to to face the mob but the camera will stay still. Then if you use the A or D key, the camera will snap back to being behind your camera. Ugh!

I think during beta, the camera always stayed behind the character no matter what, but I’m not sure.

so who’s all playing TOR here?

I’m on Juyo, Republic Side

Character Name: Jolwon a Jedi Sentinel

Fastcart. There was no change. Check your settings, I have no problems with something like that happening

For those interested, my guild is located at xfor.org. We have both an Imperial and Republic guild on Sith Meditation Sphere (server name) and we are “fairly” large. If you are interested in playing with 501st members, friends and family, please stop by the website and check it out. If you do sign up, please reference me (and might be helpful to put gwc in there as well so i’ll recognize names)

Fast’cart, Jedi Guardian, Juyo.

I’m slowly getting used to it. The first day, I had major nausea. Others too, but I’m not hearing complaints anymore.

I got a call from Gamestop yesterday notifying me to show up at 11:00 PM for the midnight sale. I’ll prolly go whenever the servers close. (: I expect quite a few of us will since there won’t be much else to do. d:

But, this will likely be the last time I’ll pre-order at a physical store outside of Mass Effect 3 (which I pre-ordered back when DA:2 released).

I preordered on Amazon and got my physical copy last Thursday :smiley:

next time I head on I’ll add you as a friend Fastcart, I WAS planning on playing for a good few hours tonight but I see they’re taking down the servers till midnight to prepare for the new wave of people coming in with the official launch

seriously this game is addicting…I was pretty crabby at work today, I chalked it up to having TOR withdrawal all day :stuck_out_tongue:

i’ve been out of town all weekend and today, and tuesday, and wednesday this week, so think how i feel right now, even though i got in last tuesday in the first round… lol…

we already had a 50 in my guild as of last night and a few 40+ . I’m still 26 :frowning:

anyways, i’m Chilaili on Sith Meditation Sphere

:eek:

well I’m still only level 17 so you’re still higher than me uuber! :stuck_out_tongue:

what class are you?

I’m really digging the class story line for the Jedi Sentinel at least, I don’t feel cheated out of KOTOR 3 anymore because they make it feel like you’re still the one person driving the story in the world around you, really digging the AI Companions as well, as well as the ability for the romance story (always one of my favorite parts of Bioware games)

and yes…I’m totally romancing Kira :smiley:

I so want this game. I used to play Ever Quest then moved to EVE. I enjoyed them both this game seems to to merge both games into one (sort of) but my damn computer is so underpowered for it ill have to wait till taxes to upgrade it.

Question: is space battle even worth doing?
what does side does everyone like the most Light or dark?

I did my first space battle tonight and I actually had a blast with it! can easily see myself doing it again

I haven’t done Sith, right now I’m playing as a Jedi Sentinel, dual wield lightsabers for DPS and I’m having a blast being light side

I can see myself at some point trying out another server and going Sith to give it a shot, amazingly I haven’t run into any dicks yet though I don’t know if you can say thats because of being on the Republic side, but everyone has been very helpful and nice which is far more than I can say about when I started DAOC where if you asked a question you were automatically an idiot (though I started WAY after launch and perhaps with this there are lots of newbies as well so people aren’t so annoyed with questions)

thanks that info helps but unless i can upgrade this computer. looks like i wont be able to play till after the new year.

im going the bounty hunter route watching a youtube vid and seems that class is the all around jack of trades kinda class and ill probably play light side

send me a PM whenever you start up

once my buddy get’s back from Afghanistan I’m gonna start up a new character to level up with him, should be in March sometime (naturally after we’re done with Mass Effect 3 :smiley: ) plus depending whatever kind of guild I end up joining I could probably get you in (I usually join casually friendly guilds since that’s what I am)

thats kinda guilds I want to join as soon as can i will

So I’m gonna play this game! I don’t know what I’m gonna play I’m excited to play something but I don’t know what. Imperial Agent is supposed to be PRETTY rad so I’m thinkin that?

(Heh, just caught myself.) I was going to say those two don’t go together but, then I remembered Imperial characters (where BH falls) can go light side. I have a Light Side Sith Assassin after all. The storylines in this game can kind of make me feel bad about going Dark Side, at least one of the early BH missions did.

Oh, I guess I should chime in too. I’m on the “Sith Meditation Sphere” server with uubergeek’s guild. Half my characters are Republic; half are Empire. My highest level so far is only 17, and he just got his ship last night. I didn’t have enough time to play much with the ship but, it was nice to see that it’s another rest area for me to logout in.

so how many charcters can you have on one account? how much is the subscription?

So Yeah had a super productive day today. Started playing at like 2:30. only stopped around 8pm to play Modern Warfare 3 with Beef and then hopped back on till maintenance. Fffffffffffffffff This game is really good. Level 14 Trooper on Mind Trick in the Giantbomb guild Good Luck Have Bothans (GLHB)

You can have eight per server, which is where I sit on the “Sith Meditation Sphere”. You can join as many servers as you like, even the European servers with the same client. I threw a few name savers on a couple of different servers.
