Nepenthe Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I got a beta invite to SW:TOR, too. I gave it away. Is it really that alien a concept to you that someone could have optimistically signed up for the beta earlier on, only to lose all interest in the game later? "I am thinking" that you're just trolling at this point. Considering the location and people involved, I'd say it is a pretty alien concept. "Trolling" gets thrown a lot around here. That's not trolling. This is trolling: Moving on, the size of this game is a real problem for me. I'm really not feeling a new PC at the moment (1760e was the size of my last shopping list), and my windows partition is absolutely tiny. Insult to injury, considering how fast my (unlimited) connection is. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Raithe Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Heh, what I'm finding as twistedly humerous, is that when I attempt to login to the SWTOR website.. I get this message : "This page is not available. This may be because you are not currently logged in." "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Calax Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I must say, what I've played of TOR (yes, I got in) makes me happy. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Calax Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 well... effectively it feels like Kotor with the questing and such being fully voiced (although I could see that being annoying the second or third time through). although I'm only at the low low end of the leveling curve still. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Maria Caliban Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 Will this be an actual beta or just a two day stress-test?Don't want to channel Morgoth here but I agree that wasting a week of download time and gigabytes of hard drive space for a 48 hours of lag-fest doesn't seem like a good deal. Stress test. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
kirottu Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I got in too. Now I finally get to hang around all the cool kids. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Calax Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I just hope they put it up for long term stress testing soon Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Rostere Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 So, apparently I'm also in the beta now. Neat! "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Hurlshort Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/choose...itor-vs-trooper If you can get past the nerdy developers gushing, this video highlights the two classes I find the most intriguing in the game.
Maria Caliban Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Just so some people know: BioWare/EA sent out 75,000 beta invites to people who never signed up to be part of the beta. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Volourn Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 They keep sending me a message to change my password. I keep ignoring it. Go beta test or your own game. IF I buy it I expect it to work. If I test it I expect to be paid. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Niten_Ryu Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 They keep sending me a message to change my password. I keep ignoring it. Go beta test or your own game. IF I buy it I expect it to work. If I test it I expect to be paid. Haha agreed! I haven't beta tested a game since the Asheron's Call 2 (was it 2002 or something) and it's so much pointless frustration that I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Hurlshort Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 It's funny, we've had all these security breaches lately with Steam and SOE, but when Bioware tries to be proactive in upgrading their system to be more secure, people whine about the emails.
Malcador Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Are they actually uprgrading their system or is this just a reminder to change your password every X time units ? In any case, first negative reaction to it I've seen has been from Volourn, and he's not even on about the reset specifically Edited November 15, 2011 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

In any case, first negative reaction to it I've seen has been from Volourn, and he's not even on about the reset specifically I think they set up new requirements for the passwords to fill, so everybody who'd registered before those went into effect have to change theirs. So I guess "upgrade" is closer of the two alternatives... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Zoraptor Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I'm not sure people who think "12345" or "password" is the height of security really deserve to be saved from themselves, though I'm sure they'd find some way for it to be EA's fault if they got hacked.
Raithe Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 SWTOR had over 1 million hours of testing last beta weekend "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

As your forum account is the same as your game account, I wonder if being banned on one will have an effect on the other. Edited November 17, 2011 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Hurlshort Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Well it's pretty easy to avoid finding out, just don't be an internet ****wad. edit: decided to censor myself so I don't get banned Edited November 17, 2011 by Hurlshot
HoonDing Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I just received an invitation to the SWTOR beta on the BSN, even though I never even bothered to even register for it. Anyone want the beta key? I'm not interested in this anyhow. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah, I just received a beta key as well. If anybody is serious about this just send me a PM and I'll give you the key.* * Requirement: You'll always have to be nice to me from now on. Rain makes everything better.
Hurlshort Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 It seems like they are really rolling out the invites for this last month before release, I think I saw them on Fileplanet as well. I really recommend giving it a whirl if you can handle the 20 gig download, it's very polished and worth seeing in action.
Malcador Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah, I just received a beta key as well.
