Star Wars: The Old Republic - Megathread/Discussion [Release Day is Upon Us]

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"]

Hop on in! We actually need 3 other people to help us create the guild. :lol:

Maroxad

Oh I will, just got to wait for the 20th.

Just one question, would you guys rather have me a sniper or an operative?

My opinion is going up on this game. Up to level 13. Did my first flashpoint today (Black Talon) and was really really impressed. They did a good job at creating an instance with boss fights and also still having a dialogue driven story in a group setting. It was fun to see how the other ppl in my party chose to respond in the group conversations. Not sure if this will have a lot of replay value, but really enjoying it right now.

Just calculate how many hours just ONE C.lass Story has...then multiply that by the amount of ****s.

Hmm, didn't know that. I know you can decide what to do with the last person you encounter in the instance, but didn't realize that earlier choices changes the instance. Thats pretty awesome! Gonna play it again.

Elann, we need you! :P

Steameffekt

EDIT2: Also need a guild name. :cry:

Haha nice :D To be honest, when you guys were sleeping, I was playing my jedi knight. My Bounter Hunter is untouched at starting point. I'm going to level her up tonight for sure now that things are coming together with this guild. Should be fun doing stuff together. :)

Edit: As for the guild name. I'll throw some name ideas at ya and a few names. Cheers!

I got the special digital edition today. Deciding what to make when I get started, I was a Warrior in WoW for 4 years so it looks like I will be going that way again. Think I am going to go Female Sith Dual Light Sabers, I want to try being a DPS for a change.V4LENT1NE

I decided to go with Sniper. Lag (I live in Europe and western US servers are a wee bit far away) might cripple my healing capabilities, but I feel my dps wouldnt suffer too much.

I will probably go with Maroxad. It wont be my main (my main will be on a european server) and I believe other gamespotters will recognize me more easily then.

Have they let everyone in that pre-orders yet? Wondering if I buy it now will I be able to play right away.

Dual Sabres pwns, loving it :P

[QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"][QUOTE="Elann2008"] Isn't it funny how you can't let go your "go-to" cIass? I was also a warrior (grand marshal), and had an alt pally that became my main later on. I rolled a Bounty Hunter but couldn't put my jedi knight down. He's now lvl 9. :P I want my lightsaber before I start playing BH.kozzy1234

Dual Sabres pwns, loving it :P

What level could you start dual-wielding? Man, Kozzy, with SWTOR, I have no time to play other games lol... I don't know how I'm going to manage (time).Elann2008

As soon as you get your advanced class, and get a second lightsaber(or blaster, if you're a non-Jedi) you can dual wield.

[QUOTE="kozzy1234"]

[QUOTE="V4LENT1NE"] Yeah I started playing Warrior after I levelled a Priest, ended up tanking for 4 years, all through BC, Wrath and start of Cata, was a blast but they just started milking thr hell out of it and I didnt feel the rush anymore. I love being in the front line of a fight though, so with Dual Sabres I should get right in the think of it! :DElann2008

Dual Sabres pwns, loving it :P

I was saying same thing earlyier to my buddy haha. With SWTOR and Anno2070 I honestly get so hooked :lol:

I am level 11 or 12, you get em if your a Jedi. As soon as you get out of the first area and get to the city. When you hit level 10 and advance past the first area can pick what you want to advance as. One of the choices with double Lightsabres :)

Pretty much lvl 10-11, then? I'm looking forward to it. Almost there (I'm lvl 9 jedi knight) :) Thanks mate.Elann2008

Yeah.

Sweet. I'll shoot for it tonight. A couple of more levels to go. :) THanks bud Btw, To the Moon is soooo wonderful. I can't seem to put that down either. Thanks for the recommendation once again.

Well Since my GF and I had a chance to play all day, we have had a lot of fun honestly! We are rolling our first characters, I am consular, and she is a knight. Our Empire characters are 2 bounty hunters. The game is rather fun and engaging! Performance isn't bad either, but that will improve over the next couple weeks/months with patches, and better gpu drivers.

The game is great! Not regretting the Pre-orders at all here. (and this is pre-launch, The game will have lots of improvement in the future, near and far)

Also Graphics and artstyle, now that I have gotten to see it first hand, (while it could use a little touching up, which again over time will probably happen) it is a rather beautiful game, especially being an MMO.

Figured I would report back with how we felt about it over here. We will prolly end up putting a lot A LOT of time into this game. Played it all day as it is, and are only stopping because we are sleepy.

I can see this game being pretty big, despite a lot of ridiculous hate it receives!

This game looks so good but it just costs too much money to play for me to buy it. $15 a month is something I can afford, but not something I am willing to pay to play a video game.SF_KiLLaMaN

If you play the same class with someone, can you mutually complete a class quest, or do you have to do it twice?

Can both do the same quest, and you both get to pick the dialogue choices to (:

Elann2008

Yea, Mercenary is the DPS/Heal advanced class. I am currently a Merc dps (my buddy always commented on how I *always* tend to be the healer in these mmo's so going for some deeps this time) and man, I am just a god in PvP. I think you will really enjoy it. My *only* complaint so far is that the next two flashpoints of Hammer Station and Athiss are very lacking of substance. I was worried that they exaggerated the first instance a little too much, and it seems it may be true. The next two hardly have any story whatsoever throughout them. Hopefully these are 2 isolated instances. (Also space combat is awesome! there is a game in my game!)

Ahhh crap! stuck with customer support... why was one of my security answers changed?! I even wrote it down.. but when I typed it in while trying to log in, it said incorrect. This is bulls***. Fix your security BioWare! Elann2008

Good luck with support...they are worthless. Hopefully they can solve your problem, but from my experience with them, on multiple occasions they failed to comprehend simple questions. However, I contacted them through email. It seems you are doing phone around this time? Heh...tell me if the hold is 2 hours or more.

NO!!!!
:(

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="Allicrombie"] actually bounty hunter isnt that bad. Much better than my sith something or other.trijity

Wow, this is bull****. 2 hours? f that. Why couldn't they just give me another security question maybe one I actually used. Maybe this is a sign. Good, because I'm ready to ship my copy of the game back. It's still sealed.

If anyone is curious, the question is my favorite movie. It's not even one of the questions I used! lol.. I know because I wrote it down because I knew I wouldn't be able to remember all of them. I read on the forums with others of the same issue.. which I find surprising for security questions. Usually doesn't ever happen this way. And you only get 2 chances at it.. and now my account is locked. Errr I'm so pissed right now..

my call just got dropped and I have full bars. game over BioWare EA, thanks.

I apologize for ranting and being immature but as you could imagine I'm pissed. I read that many people are going through the same issues. Hopefully I'll get some help through email by Early Access' end. If not, this game is going back to its rightful owner. A pretty sad day for me. I really, really liked this game a lot. Cheers guys and gals. Have fun and enjoy your new MMOG!

Elann2008

just quick thing to try, the security answer you think it is, try capitals or just first letter capital. One time on Origin that was my issue, I swore it was the right password, and eventually it was but they made it so you had to use atleast one capital. So I was putting in the password but with no capital letters lol.

Anyways worth a try ):

Do you have the product registration code somewhere? Photo that, show it to customer support and that should get your account back. It has worked for me in other games.

Hope you get your account back :)

Well, some class quests only allow 1 person to do it at a time, but they say the moment you enter the instance, or are about it. (says something like only 1 jedi knight/consular can be be on this quest at this time)

But there is an option in the Social tab of preferrences that states (allow same classes in class quests) or something to that line.

Just wanted to say I'm having a blast.

I am sure they will help you, its just they are probably being bombarded with calls, and stuff. I can def understand you being PO'd, but this is still (right before) a launch of a major MMO. I say if you cannot get back into your account, Atleast by the time the grace period ends, then I will start to get worried, because you have to open up your physical copy, which could hinder you reselling/returning it.

I hope you get it back up and running, because the game is great.

My god. I logged on this morning and there were lvl 50's on already complaining about how little there was to do in the end game. The pre-launch is only 5-6 days old and people have maxed their characters already!?!?!??! Has all of the game content been released or are they holding stuff back until the 20th?
