Release date is set for 12/20/11.

Are you playing? What are you playing? Where are you playing? Wanna start a guild? What's your dad like?

OMGOMGOMGOGMGOGOGM

Excited.

[ZOMBEET]

i read about this and i jizzed....i needssssss

[my-name-here]

i will be playing... will probably exchange my pre order of collectors edition to standard (what was i thinking) i don't know the answers to the other questions.

i was quit surprised when i got the e mail. i didn't think it was going to make it this year.

[DoseOfLaughter]

I already have a pre-made guild. I already have it pre-ordered. I'm pretty excited.

Did you also pre-**beast** your pants, and if so, how many times?

[Blah_canbespanish]

Yes. Imperial Agent I think, not 100% sure yet. Probably on a PvP server. Maybe. Deadbeat drunk.

Surprised they haven't said yet when the pre-launch stuff starts. Hopefully you can continue to play without a CD key a few days after release - even with one day delivery Amazon is saying I have to wait till the 23rd

[DoseOfLaughter]

I've been je­rking off to this game for about two years now. I've released nearly every ounce of sem­inal fluid from my body at the sheer thought of this game.


To say I pre-came to the release date of this game is a huge understatement. I fo­ndled my pro­state while I was at it too.

[DoseOfLaughter]

I'm rolling Consular. Going to be a healer. My friend is rolling Commando and he's going tank.

[Blah_canbespanish]

I am a bit tempted to try out tanking as a Inquisitor/Consular but from what I know they're selfheal/avoidance oriented, which can be a real pain in the ass to balance. Not a fan of going back and forth between under/overpowered every patch.

A tank with stealth sounds very fun though, especially in PvP.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Ehhh. Despite what BioWare has said about tanking, I still believe that there will be a clear "This class will tank, this class will dps, and this class will heal" kind of thing. Getting rid of the triangle of Heals, DPS, and Tank is going to be a hard job to do. Consular seems to be the "healiest" class...plus, getting an object that glows in the dark when I want it to will be entertaining enough, also since I tend to lose focus sometimes while healing when my tanks are really good. Something to distract me during that time will be awesome.

[panic]

Anyone get a beta invite for this weekend?

I didn't.

[my-name-here]

nope

[DoseOfLaughter]

Invites for this weekend won't go out until the 7th.

[crapshot2]

I have a friend who got in one of those weekend stress tests

and from what he said he really put to rest my fears.

[DoseOfLaughter]

Dude, this game has been worked on for years. It's literally BioWares pet project. I don't know what fears you had, because I've had none.

I know of two people who have already received them.

[AMirrorUnrelated]

ima pass on this game, it'll just be another WoW and make me end up hating KOTOR while ruining/killing me irl.

pass

[crapshot2]

because I'm skeptical and don't just accept everything that is thrown at me.

besides, da2 **beast** huge donky balls.

[distorted_reasoning]

im not too excited about this game.

first of all, bioware has been pretty meh lately.

also the fact that the game is an mmo just makes me want it even less.

[DoseOfLaughter]

If you've followed anything on ToR, such as reading the news feed on the main website for ToR and watching the videos, you'd see there is no need to be worried whatsoever.


Plus, DA2 is definitely going to get much better with the release of the several upcoming DLC

[crapshot2]

just like they improved DA 1 with expansions. well the first one was pretty good.

no, DA2 is broken on a completely fundamental level. they would have to completely redo the entire game and factor out all the streamlined bull**beast** for it to be good. an expansion is just **beast** added on to something that is allreaddy out.

[SwimOdin]

I've been going back and forth for forever on whether or not I'll get this, but I love BioWare so much that my distate for MMOs will most likely be superseded.

After what happened to Dragon Age II, I became immune to this feeling. I see BioWare like everyone else.

Over time, all change. Mostly for the worse.

Final beta weekend coming up, anyone who has ever signed up for beta is invited. Head to swtor.com/tester if you haven't RSVP'd yet. They are letting us in in waves based on when you do so. NDA is also lifted, and there's a ton of information floating around.

I only got to play for a few hours on the 11th-13th weekend test, mainly due to horrible queues and of course Skyrim. I liked what I saw though, got a BH to 8. Last half of that was almost solely from group quests, which are very fun.

Gameplay is smooth and nearly every enemy comes in packs, so you never really get bored during the combat. Looking forward to playing some more this weekend.

[DoseOfLaughter]

I got mine plus an extra that I gave to my friend.

I'm just boss like that.


Also, me and a friend of mine are going to be playing on Iron Citadel server. If anyone wants to join us, I can distribute our vent information.
