good to know. i tried logging in earlier and it kept saying my username or password were incorrect, but its patching now. Now im just hoping they post the authenticator app on itunes soon.

Thank you all for this VERY informative post! I'm sitting here after work eating my pizza reading every bit and learning things I didn't even know I didn't know! :woohoo: +

(this is better than the other guides I found on-line).

Don't think this is particularly important, but... I opened the SWTOR launcher and it updated the launcher then patched the game. Once that was all done there is a message on the bottom of the launcher stating:

There is currently no active subscription on this account. Activate your account here.

When you click on the 'here' link it just takes you to the main page of the SWTOR website. I went through 'My Account' and there isn't an area (YET!) to add your subscription (monthly plan, etc).

Not big news but I wanted to share it. I'm so damned excited for this game to get going that any little bit of action is awesome. :) I know it's silly, but I keep hoping for earlier Early Access!

Reduced xp while grping with higher level toons.

Did two tests in this last beta as I was curious to how grping with higher levels would effect your xp.

Test 1
Group make up - Lvl 12x2, lvl 19x1 - xp was almost a third of what I was getting when I went in with toons one lvl above or below my lvl. We where getting 26-54 xp pts for gold crown mobs and regular trash. Bosses where just around 100 or so xp. My lvl was 12.

Test 2
Group make up - lvl 11x1, lvl 14x1, lvl 36x1 - xp..um what is that. LOL we got 1 xp for regular trash and 16 xp for gold crown mobs. Bosses where around 24 xp. My lvl 14.

One thing didn't change was the social pts. Still got the same number of social pts no matter what level character I grp'd with.

Enjoy!

People who haven't beta tested at all but pre-ordered still need to install the game. We'll probably receive instructions before the 15th.

I hope they do and before the 15th as I'm one of those who have to down load the new client. For some reason I have the 10th is when they will send us the link to download the new client. I just don't remember where I read or heard that date.

As a straight male, I'd avoid France and focus on where the ladies need it the most. Ty for the heads up (pun intended) ;)

If they were inches I would definitely not be living in the USA anymore B)

Someone please tell me those are not inches... and we all know how the French boast about the size of their equipment but their cannons could not shoot past the Maginot Line. ;)

BioWare specifically said that they would be granting Early Access in waves based on when you pre-ordered. That's why they said the earlier you pre-order, the earlier you'll get to play.

Sad to admit but my friends and I were all up at 2am or whenever it was to make sure we pre-ordered asap. lol They have been pretty quiet about the delayed release tho so I am def going to avoid the forums for the inevitable flooding of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T PLAY YET" posts.

There's a unofficial patch for that. Even for the steam version.

I tried this and it quasi worked for me, I had to shut off all cinematics and the game would still freeze/crash on me sometimes. So I guess it's success varies but it's worth a shot at least.

Speaking of books, I def recommend Deceived for those who have not read it. Pretty good book and really enjoyed learning more about Darth Malgus.

I understand we EU folk will be joining the USA server now, so pleeease let me know what server you end up on as soon as you find out, and I'll try to make my toons there... hopefully the ping won't be too bad...

Is it going to be the same server for Republic & Empire?

Ah, good, another European!

Latency wasn't an issue during the two beta weekends, at least not for PVE. Didn't try any PVP. I currently play LOTRO, the servers moved to the US a while ago, there have been no problems at all.

If i remember correctly we'll receive an email with the name of the server on witch the guilds will be created. As soon as we get them, someone is bound to post that name on the forum.

If they create the guilds (allies and adversaries) on different severs, then no doubt we will move servers.

Well, I just uninstalled the old client and any residue that it left and went to download the new client, but now I cant find the download page =/.

It used to be on the swtor.com/tester page. But that page doesn't exist anymore.

People who have been testing previous to the 25th, received an email. I'm sure someone here can post these instructions for you.

I tried playing KOTOR on my comp as weel, but the resolution just does not hold up very well, but that may just be me.

There's a unofficial patch for that. Even for the steam version. Can't remember where i found it, you'll have to google it. Worked fine for me, the game looked ok.

I see what you mean. It just looks.. Old. I just couldnt get into it. Oh well, atleast it was just $10. And yeah, the book was great. I was thinking the same thing about rescuing revan sometime in the endgame. Guess we'll see.

I love visiting all our castles especially ruined ones

Since we still have 9 days till head start, i thought i might kill some time by playing through KotOR again. I havent played it since it came out in 2003 so i figured why not. Its only $10 on steam. Besides, reading the revan book that came out last month kind of made we want to play it again. I hope its as good as i remember and it holds up to time.
