This game will be amazing period... You can do that by just beating SWG which is VERY easy.

This and ST online are going to make 2010 a VERY good year for MMOs

Surprisingly Wolf, we agree for the most part.

Why not? Who made Lucas a god above mortals?

Lucas is no God. But the persistent belief that he's necessarily some kind of "hack" and that Star Wars was made by the production crew is just untrue. Remember it was Lucas who left A New Hope to be completely written by his staff and the resulting movie was so terrible he had to completely re-write in a few weeks. This became the wonderous Star Wars we know. What annoys me is that the fans seem to think Lucas shouldn't own his own series. Even though he's proven that he *is* a talented writer.

I think Lucas's problem is that he doesn't seem to listen to his editors. The worst scenes in the prequels are usually the ones that simply serve no relevance to the plot. Thus what the prequels needed was the removal of scenes. Not the addition of pointless referances only EU fans would understand.

But this is starwars. It would be nice to have a story with tramp freighter captain flying in the universe smuggling while avoiding the politics. Or a bounty hunters life? who knows...?

My thoughts exactly. The problem nobody bothers with that. It's always "dur jedi this and that" or "mandolorian this and that".

I really enjoyed those Han Solo novels from the early '80s.

Just had another look at the site, and according to the FAQ, most of the came can be completed offline. Only some elements require MMO to complete.

Voice acting is playing a large role too. Even your character is voiced.

Sounding better to me all the time.

I have been beta testing this for the last few weeks (just learned the NDA lets us say we are testing, just not what we are testing lol.)

I am pretty sure I can get away with saying that if you like BioWare games like Mass Effect, and you like Star Wars then you will love this game. I have never seen such a high percentage of the testers praising a title.

I know alot of people here are not into MMOs, but if this one has been tempting you then you will probably like what you get.

11-18-11, 04:22 PM

Beta testing SWTOR myself.

There's alot of free keys out there for new testers good until 11:59 PM CST tonite.

Details are here............

Highbury · 11-18-11, 11:12 PM

You enjoying it privateer? I love it. It is not a pure MMO, but a nice blend of a BioWare game and MMO elements.

NDA has been lifted BTW so alot of new pics/vids should be available soon.

11-21-11, 05:41 PM

This weekend will be my first actual testing!

(But I have been looking at the files!

)

Highbury · 11-21-11, 05:56 PM

I will warn you though it is a stress test weekend, populations and lag will probably be heavy.

11-21-11, 06:19 PM

I expect that from the keys that were given out!
There were 8000 left at the site I got mine from and the list of sites was HUGE!
But that says they are pretty confident it will go OK.

From the files I've looked at, and what I know of the Hero Engine?
It looks good to me.

My system is below specs on the CPU only but I'm going to give it a try anyway.

Falkirion · 11-21-11, 08:24 PM

I just got my invite for the stress test too. Might check it out, I'm not around much on weekends so my gaming is pretty much limited to midweek a couple of hours a night.

Highbury · 11-23-11, 07:47 PM

A little tip I can give for the Stress Test Weekends..

Being a stress test they intentionally do not put up enough servers, they want the population maxed for as much of the weekend as possible. Last time this led to actually queuing up to get on servers. If you logged out to go have some lunch, walk the dog or whatever, it could be a few hours before you get back in.

So if you are going to take a short break but intend to come back to it, do not exit the game! Just log out and you will be left at the Character Select screen but you are still in the server. That way you can just sit down and play again when you are ready.
