Well I just got the invite (or at least saw I got the invite) for the beta test this weekend. Apparently they are letting the testers in in waves, I hope I get in on Friday, and don't have to wait until Saturday or Sunday.

Drrek · « **Reply #30 on:** November 23, 2011, 05:18:09 PM »

Awesome, I just got the email that I start testing on Friday. Apparently they are letting people in in waves to simulate how they are doing early access.

pick whichever one has the stupidest name possible. Do NOT pick any server with an appealing name. Doing that lost me 2 and a half hours of game time last beta test weekend.

I get to start playing at 10am on Friday.

I work til midnight the night before, but you can bet I'll be up in time to start playing as soon as they let me in, haha.

If anyone wants to group up or whatever, I'll be playing on the Cosmic Turbine server with my guildies that have been in the full beta for awhile. I think I'll be playing Republic for the beta so as not to spoil the Empire quests for the full game.

I can join you to group up. Are we allowed on the regular beta servers though? The fact that they are telling existing testers that new servers will show up and that those will only be available for the weekend makes me wonder if weekend beta testers are allowed on the regular beta servers.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #35 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:50:53 PM »

So what server are we going through?

Drat. I won't be able to play until Monday.... My invite's open today, but my computer's on campus.

My desktop is at home, but my roommate's firewall is currently blocking the game. >_<

So, I can only play on my laptop at work right now, haha.

Shouldn't you be doing... work? (Unless you work for Bioware, in which case, you guys looking for interns?)

browarod · « **Reply #39 on:** November 26, 2011, 11:29:33 PM »

I work in a data center, so most of our job is sitting there in case something breaks so we can report it straight away. If nothing breaks, then our job consists of hourly walkthroughs of the server rooms and then whatever we want to do in between. It's a great job.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #40 on:** November 28, 2011, 09:01:05 AM »

Nice! Sounds like a great job. They give you a computer powerful enough to play TOR?

browarod · « **Reply #41 on:** November 28, 2011, 10:57:52 AM »

Nah, I play it on my laptop on the lowest possible graphics settings, lol.

browarod · « **Reply #42 on:** November 29, 2011, 01:11:50 PM »

So, I'm curious if we have enough people playing one faction or the other (or both, even) that we could make a Redemption guild or something. It would be fun to be able to group up for stuff with you guys and having a guild would make it easier than trying to coordinate everyone having everyone else on their friends list.

Does this sound like something people would be interested in, or should I just stick to my other non-Redemption guild? lol

TechnoEthicist · « **Reply #43 on:** November 29, 2011, 01:13:17 PM »

Highly depends on what server our guild gets moved to, I'll keep ya posted.

The Warrior · « **Reply #44 on:** November 29, 2011, 04:28:24 PM »

A Redemption guild on TOR sound like a really cool idea.

I'd join the guild. I'm planning on playing both sides, and I do admit I liked the Empire storylines a lot better in the beta testing, but I'm still going to play trooper first, and probably bounty hunter second. There's a good chance I could get brother (Redoubter on this forum) to join as well. I think he was planning on playing trooper first as well but I don't know

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #46 on:** November 29, 2011, 09:01:16 PM »

I honestly won't be picking the game up until about marchish after release but I will play either side.

I love the smuggler for the republic, as well as the Jedi Knight (I'm not big on tanks but they really made it fun)
And for Empire I like the Sith inquisitor. I didn't get to beta the empire too much (Only Agent and Inquisitor and It took me too long to realize heroics shouldn't be soloed.... (Did one of the three...but ow...)).

If you guys make a guild. I will join when I get the game.

Did anybody see the article in Citizen magazine about Star Wars going gay? It said that The Old Republic game will include "same gender relationship arcs". Here's a little section of the article.

The way it works is that players will have certain "companions"--not other players, but characters built into the game. When (say) your son Johnny is playing, "companions" may ask him whether he wants a gay relationship.
This wasn't originally in the game: In fact, though it goes online Dec. 20, the homosexual aspect won't be in effect till later. A couple of years ago, the game's maker said the terms "gay" and "lesbian" don't exist in Star Wars, bringing complaints from gay activists ever since. Now they've changhed course, citing strong demand from "fans".

Does anybody know if this is true?

browarod · « **Reply #49 on:** December 08, 2011, 06:20:20 PM »

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Knights of the Old Republic 1 (also made by Bioware) had a possible party member who was lesbian (if you go dark side and kill her, you later run into her lover who also fell to the dark side and you have to fight her as well). Homosexuality is increasingly becoming something media creators feel the need to cater to (comics have been including more homosexual characters in the last decade or so), or at least not shy away from, in order to not alienate the sub-culture.

I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that I'm not surprised considering the direction American society is heading.
