Star Wars: The Old Republic anticipation thread.

[Garrett]

I got my early access a few hours ago, but I'm at work still. I won't be able to play for a few hours. I don't expect to actually be able to get in today, anyway. The server my guild is on has been full since about 9am Eastern.

EDIT - I will be on Jung Ma whenever I am able to actually get to playing the game.

 

[Chaos Descending]

Got in today. I'm up to Level 8 (Sith Warrior, Hyperspace Cannon Server) but now I have to go to work.

 

[sojourner]

Actually the way EGA came about works pretty well for me. I would like to know before the actually go time, but I took Thursday and Friday off this week (had some time to burn), so I don't have to worry if I will get in by then with an 8 August pre-order unless some spectacular happens.

I'm hoping that it will be tomorrow so that I can play until 4AM, but I can deal.

August? you'll get in tomorrow easy.

I was in the first wave of EGA invites, so I started playing after I woke up late this morning. My Imperial Agent is at level 10 right now and has one more side quest to finish up before I leave Nal Hutta for Dromund Kaas. Can't remember what US server I set up on, but I'll edit this post with its name and my character name later in case anyone chooses that server and wants to group up.

Edited to add: My agent's name is Co'lariss, and I'm on the Shadow Hand US-PVE server if anyone ends up creating a character there and wants to add me to their friends list.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I got in w/ wave four.

I just gobbled up some names on a few different servers to be safe. I still haven't fully decided if I'm going to pvp or pve yet.

 

[sojourner]

I'm in. Pre-ordered beginning of september if that helps anyone.

For those interested in additional security for their accounts, BioWare Community Manager Stephen Reid confirmed via Twitter earlier today that, although the iOS version of the Mobile Security Key app is currently available, an Android OS version will not be available until sometime after launch.

 

[sojourner]

After lunch? that doesn't seem so bad...

 

[Chaos Descending]

I keep asking people in game "what's the Security Key Vendor for"? And they all answer, "Its for people who have a key, duh"!

Can you give me the lowdown real quick??? lol

 

[sojourner]

Which vendor exactly?

[Chaos Descending]

Ummm, it's called "Security Key Vendor".

Its not on your list.

From TOR community manager

Today (yesterday), we invited people who had pre-ordered up to the very beginning of October (roughly). Tomorrow (today), we're going to be inviting the same number of people again; that will take us up to the last week or so of November. On Friday, we'll be inviting even more, and we'll give you an update on that tomorrow.

I should get in today in wave 2 or 3 since I pre-ordered the game at the end of October.

Could somebody upload some gameplay footage up to youtube on Voss or Belsavis for me?

Or take a screenshot of a Voss which i could use as and avatar?

This page should give you the information you need. BlackBerry and Android versions will be coming at some point after official launch; iOS version is available now, and of course you can order a physical one if you prefer. You can also find additional information here in the FAQ.

Belsavis is a level 41-44 planet, while Voss is a level 44-47 planet. I'm not anywhere near being ready to visit either planet.

Anyone know how you send guild invites in the game, at the moment Bioware not added in something simple as an ADD button . I hear its something you type in chat but with TOR forums down and no one answering in public chat...

At a loss to find out.

 

[PsychoPere]

Took a little time, but I think I finally found the answer in the official forums:

/ginvite <username>

 

[Chaos Descending]

PsychoPere, thanks for the link.

Also, first Wait Queue since launch!

 

[sojourner]

You mean "first wait que till launch".

Guild formed. If your ever sith side on Keller's Void, lookup The Darkrider Corp. Just gonna be me and some RL friends. No grandiose schemes for now.

 

[Skywalker]

I wonder if there's a guild called the Jedi Knights of Good.
