Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG by Bioware

Sick of beta really just wanna play FOR REAL!

Same here, been playing beta since Mid September. Tired of loosing toons just shy of the end game. Can't wait till head start kicks off!

I have not even been past the teens on purpose. Don't wanna spoil story with a character i can't keep.

I remember reading (thinking) a long time ago that your lightsaber type had to depend on your class.. Marauder = dual wield, Inquis = dual blade, Juggernaut = single blade

Is that true? Because if so, it's really going to blow..

If it is true that is stupid. I should be able to use any type of weapon I want as long as it is consistent with my class. Sith and Jedi should be able to use any type of lightsaber they want. I could in the KOTOR games on the console so I should be able to here.

If not it is tolerable but still really crappy.

Definitely. I'm still hoping to get this game sometime around late Jan-early Feb. All my other hobbies (possible addictions) have been draining the account so I don't have the scratch to get a new computer yet.

Been testing it for the past 2 hours, plays a lot like Dragon Age Origins (not that its a bad thing)

One question though, is this game subscription based or free to play after the initial purchase?

I tried clicking pre-order and it says the game is not available in my region..WTF, Asia not a viable market?

it is, it's a game balance feature.

it's subscription based, and alot of Asia has special laws dealing with mmo games, so until they know 100% how the game will fit, many american companies won't sell to any Asian countries.

hmm..ok, thks for clarifying.
Oh well, gives me a chance to save money & concentrate on my backlog of games.

I just played the beta for the past 3 hours and it is totally awesome! I played the Sith Inquisitor to level 6 and it's pretty fun. I'm gonna try all the classes before the weekend is over to make sure I know what I want to be for my main character.

Well, that is incredibly disappointing and doesn't really make much sense..
They could just make the weapons do less/more damage for whatever class/spec..don't have to take away a MAJOR part of the Star Wars universe.
I can't imagine Maul was an Inquisitor..

 

[Crimsonbob]

Just about to log in again today and i have to say i'm loving it so far

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Sigh..can't ____ing login.

Keeps saying this "This account requires additional activation steps to access the game.? bull____.

I've been looking through emails, can't find anything...can't find anything on their site either.

If I don't get in, I'm not buying this. Not dropping that much money on somthing that I could not enjoy whatsoever.

it has to do with combat statistics, and attempting to keep things balanced. dual weilding allows you more chances to hit. this is more or less what the maruader is based on.

also, i think the marauder CAN use single lightsaber, lightstaff, or dual weild.

Pretty sure that the inquisitor can only got single or lightstaff,

and the Juggernaut can only go single. can anyone confirm this for me?

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

..that changes everything.

I'm fine with Juggy only getting a single blade..didn't care for dual-wielding Inquissy, and the Marauder should definitely be able to use all three..

Hope you're right.

Are you sure your invitation said you would be starting today? Some people are starting today and some are starting tomorrow.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yeah, I got it working..it's DLing the patches right now I think....oh nevermind, it's just a blank, white screen.

 

[jasong888]

can anyone confirm, besides smuggler, who can dual wield pistols and run while shooting? thanks in advance

 

[ATCollector]

Bounty hunters can dual wield pistols.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Uhm, what's the ____ing point in inviting me to beta testing if it takes me over 8 hours to DL all of this bull____?

You're supposed to download earlier in the week, that way when it's time you can just start the game.
