    Talks about how gear will function at higher levels.. The look seems to be somewhat cosmetic but the mods you put on them will be what give you the bonuses and upgrades.. Talks about how the game will work in terms of levelling and questing, etc..

    I like that they're not going the WoW way of making hurdles you have to cross to get point to point.. More customization.. You don't all end up looking the same with uber purple lootz by the time you get to the end of the regular content..
     
  2. The companion system is pretty nice. Some of them can be a pain to keep happy but overall fairly useful.

    Got my ship late last night for the first time. That was pretty damn cool. Ran through one "space battle" mission. Having all your companions on your ship and being able to travel anywhere is pretty nice. Pretty sweet effects.

    Do we have a 'guild' online yet? Just wondering because I managed to remember my login for the TOR website and found out I'd been invited. Downloaded the beta between Friday and Saturday morning and have been playing it since. Got my Sith Sorceror up to 11.

    Name is Sentrosi.

    Don't believe so I don't think enough people are in to start one.

    :( wtb beta, I would even play dark side if they gave it to me :p
     
  6. My Sorc at 12, named Evilynn. Got stuck last night with a bugged group quest. They don't have the group quest completion down very well yet.

    There are supposed to be "open weekends" Lunar, but they will be on a different server than beta I think.

    Open weekends does not mean Open Beta for all.

    Just means they are allowing more and more in for the weekend events. Still need an invite.
     
  8. If you haven't tried Hutt ball yet its awesome. Has to be some of the best instanced mmo pvp I've ever played. Finally a game where they handled varying levels well.

    Game was constantly ctd for me yesterday though so got pretty annoyed with it.

    Revan is the server you're on, right Daleon?
    Just wondering, because most of my issues last night were caused by my PC. Getting random bad sector areas, so I'm shut down until Wednesday, probably Thursday when my Raptors will be delivered. Luckily I put my games on a seperate physical drive, so I won't have to re-download the entire game (which took me almost 36 hours!)
     
  10. I guess so, haven't really noticed where the server name is listed.

    I saw you on and send you a few tells heh.

    I take it you're Daleon there too?
     
  12. I've got all the classes up to 10+ except for Smuggler and Councilor.

    My Sorc is a chick named Evilynn.

    "The size of the game client is currently approximately 27Gb."

    Wow, games just aren't a CD's worth of information anymore are they? :p

    Officer
    Yeah. ISPs throttling downloads = longer waiting times.
     
  15. Looks like no more playing for a while.

    Sounds like that's just until they go over their first big stress test weekend data.. Apparently they're going to open it up to larger groups as well, and with a new client potentially..

    Video of the smuggler, who was my least favourite concept, until...

    Man I hope one of his talent spec's is that "nut shot" where his special attack is kicking the guy in the grapes to stun him. :p

    Though the Indiana Jones references throughout were fun too..

    Sentrosi Protocol Officer Officer

    Officer
    Yeah, and that guy looked eerily like some other scoundrel we all know.

    But still not my cup-o-tea. I loved the Sorceror. Didn't get far with the last beta test (like 17th level I think) but I did get to experience space combat the other night for the first time. Interesting. A definite diversion if you're bored questing.

    I think the next go around I'm going to work the Jedi side of things.
