Amazon.com still havnt shipped...

I still need to be switched over from Knights to Lords. I missed the window apparently. Does anyone know who is in charge of that?

Also is SW:TOR using the same Vent as Star Trek Online? or are we using another VOIP solution?

According to swtor.com there are 63 pre-built guilds on the server.
Adding up the numbers of members in each guild pre-launch we have
1239 Empire players in 30 guilds.
2387 Republican players in 33 guilds.
This gives the server a 2:1 faction imbalance favoring the Republic.

Also on server are Rough Trade and taint.

It's a toxic Cantina from KOTOR. I'm a nerd. But it's better than my friends guild, they got assigned to Space Slug server :P

and it does not have one of those cool "Everyone wants to be one that server" names either.

It lets you do a search of guilds on that server and looks like LOS is on Jekk'Jekk too! Woohoo!

I didn't see any posts about this yet, but I checked swtor.com/guilds and it says:

Assigned to Server The Jekk'Jekk Tarr

I imagine Nick or someone got more info we'll hear about soon :)

I think because each AC can have up to two different roles spec'd people can't just make assumptions like "you're a sage you must heal".

Thank you Xcentric. I didn't know we could "dual spec" in this game! If that's the case I'm definitely going with Sage if I can have a DPS spec and a Healz spec at the same time.

Commando, Sage and Guardian were the three I enjoyed the most in beta so I'll be rolling all three but I'm trying to make myself focus on just one at least at first.

I've got to go commando at some point, though. It's just way too much fun! :P

Well once I actually get access and find out what server the guilds actually on :laugh:

They said that they were going to let us know before headstart, so maybe today? They also said that they were going to give us a server list of all available servers for headstart.

gosh i sure hope so. i am sure the community at large is chomping at the bit to organize and play

hahah love the going commando part. i honestly had sooooo much fun as the commando. that was my 3rd build. he was awesome.

healers in this game to me IMHO was alot of fun. i could still solo very effectively, group well, and still not feel gimped or useless. The fact that i did not have to rely on someone else all the time to level made it very nice.

very true.
though also to be fair it is kinda hard to POWER LEVEL in this game. unless you spacebar thru all the conversations, and have a full group of four the whole time. and believe me there are guilds out there that will be 50 by the 20th. guaranteed.

One thing I like about this game is I never felt in a rush to level. The story content and questing is completely satisfying from level one.
I want to experience that! It's worth getting a second or third choice legacy name for a nice leisurely levelling process.

yeah it took me some time to get to 40 this last time, partly because i knew it was beta and that it did not matter and partly because i was playing empire side. i wanted to see that side of things and it always seemed packed.

wow. for reals? that's... disturbing... I don't like the idea of having to powerlevel if I want to reserve my legacy name. I won't powerlevel. But I guess it does mean focusing on only ONE toon till that point lol.

I think you only have to worry if your heart is set on a particular legacy name, and you think there's a fair chance that others will gravitate toward it. If you have several that would all be acceptable, I'd be less concerned.

While leveling as Sage is it realistic to group as DPS if you don't feel like healing since 2 of the 3 talent trees are DPS? I'm wondering because Sage is going to be my main but I may not always want to heal. It's seems the developers have made the hybrid classes very diverse and I love that. I'm just wondering if I go Sage if I'll be expected to always heal in groups.

I think your role is more dependent on which skill tree you go down. I'm probably gonna have my Sage be a TK specialist. I think because each AC can have up to two different roles spec'd people can't just make assumptions like "you're a sage you must heal".

Quote by techjo

To tell you the truth, I'm having a tough time deciding between Sage, Guardian and Commando. I would rather tank than heal in a group but I like the playstyle and the story of the Sage. sigh.. this is my altoholic self... lol

Which would be the most useful to the guild in groups between those three in your opinion?

Go commando!!! Oh wait, you mean for your class, not whether you should wear underwear or not.

Well, I think the old rule of thumb is try a couple and see which you enjoy most. If you like the Jedi Consular, but prefer to tank, try the Shadow (consular AC), as it has a tanking tree and shares the same story with the Sage.

I plan to try healing again just to see if its more fun in this game (for me). But I (like most players according to a study supposedly, prefer kicking ass).

Also, it sounds like dedicated roles aren't that big a deal till the higher levels, so you have time to figure it out.

Not worried about emails, getting access or anything like that. If there is a snafu and we can't get on this week I'm not going to stress over it. I'm sure Bioware will do their best to make this go as smooth as possible.

I figure I'll get on when I can and enjoy the game as I did in beta.

Gods, you must be the most laid back tor player ive ever met :P

I have my red bull and vodka rdy...

Gaming session marathon here I come.....

I have no idea when I'll get in. I didn't preorder until November because I didn't read the details about needing to preorder really early to get in early. I have Christmas parties this weekend, so it's looking like Sunday might be the first day I get to play (if I'm even in by then). :(

Quote by Samhain

as do i, but if i want to GET to the point of picking a last name before it is potentially gone i have to focus to get to level 30+. that was when i was able to get to the end of chapter one...with help of course...
