Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

Don't think I'm going to pre-order but I'll probably grab it up as soon as it's released. I played through the Beta and was pretty impressed with the story line, voice overs and general combat of the characters. UI was a little cheesy but hey, never really had one that didn't get modded one way or another

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

I broke down last night and went ahead and pre-ordered. Main reason I didn't before was I didn't want to waste 10 days of free first month game time while I was on vacation around the holidays. I found out last night that you don't have to put in your registration for the final game until release (the early access is kindof a free "gimme"). They're also extending a 48 hour grace period on registering after retail hits the 20th, so you don't have to go live with your retail game until the 22nd, which happens to be the day I leave for vacation.

Yay--I can wait until I get back to register with retail but still potentially get some early access before I leave. Guess I'll see you guys as soon as they let me in.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

For completeness in case I decide to fiddle with an alt (because I NEVER do that....nope, never):

Cynia - Bounty Hunter (Human) - Armstech/Scavenger/Investigation for professions
Solonra - Sith Warrior (Cyborg)
Tylista - Imperial Agent (Chiss)
Draaci - Sith Inquisitor (Twi'lek)

Now to decide what roles to have them be...

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

Those names sound vaguely familiar.

I will probably show up as a Sith Warrior with some form of the name Stoke.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

With my pre-order last night, I now have my early access invite today to start playing. Can't wait for queues! I'll probably roll initially with a Sith Inquisitor Assassin. Whether more tanky or more stabby--I don't know yet. I'll invariably have one of each major class, though.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

We are getting a pretty large contingent of ATF to play. I'd like to suggest a different server than Jung Ma its over populated with long que times. I am not a fan of waiting 30 minutes to play.

I suggest either the server the guys playing right now switched to randomly or the server Swads friends are on so that we can team up with another group.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

As someone who hated malganis queues, I would prefer moving. Its still just preorders that are playing, I can't imagine what the servers will look like on Tuesday. But that's my 2 cents.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

This is another reason I am not playing yet. This happens with any big game and went thru it with WoW. Like Shadow said wait til Tuesday and even more servers are going to have ques so kinda hard to jump ship so quickly for a game that hasn't hardly been out. So discuss with CDL or tell us what server Swad is playing on so we have some choices. I don't want to be server hopping. I know with CDL we will have more people to team up with and don't want to fall into us moving to a server where we will have numbers for awhile then things dwindle off, don't know how many are in Swads group. But I do understand about the ques.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

Things are very chaotic with the queues at the moment, and a big question mark is what BioWare is going to do about it. Jung Ma is, sadly, far from the worst server for queues in the game; some servers have queue times in the 5-6 hour range (I like playing with you all, but yeah...not that much...no offense ).

It's hard to decide because while CDL gives us people to work with, the queues make it unpleasant on those days that the Internet just sucks. Imagine if we let Skillet tank, he d/c's (like Skillet always does when the hamsters get tired) and it's a 45 minute wait in whatever we're doing just for the queue, and 45 minutes again every time he disconnects while waiting.

Shien has been ok so far, but what surge will we see after Christmas? I'm not thinking the 20th will be a HUGE surge; most people who get the game on launch day are likely pre-orders anyway.

Swad might be friends with other folks, but is that a party we can crash? Seemed like they were RL friends and we know how Swad is ashamed of us; he just sticks around for Fate's cookies. So forth and so on...

We do need to decide though, and thanks Gryph for pinging CDL so we can try to coordinate.

Re: SW:TOR Pre-order

I'm just waiting for you all to sort this out after I get back from vacation. Seems every server is dying right now from queues. Last night when I got on, I saw a grand total of 5 servers *without queues* on the list of servers that was displayed (didn't scroll the whole list, was just looking at the 30 or so servers on screen w/o scrolling the list). Two of the three servers I have characters on right now have queues.

Bottom line is it will only get worse after tomorrow if EA isn't ready to both deploy new servers *and* provide a means for those who want to to transfer off for free. Let's hope the devs are prepared with character transfer means, and EA realizes they need a LOT more servers.

As for me, I care not to deal with queues in the long term. If it's a short term pain that will go away--I can manage that. I get on and off a few times in a given weekday evening due to supper and whatever else that might have me logging out for a while. I want to spend time playing a game, not sitting around staring at a decreasing number for 30m - 1hr. each time I log in. Wherever we end up, I just don't want to see queues for the long term (and this issue we might not see resolved until a week or two after release) or land somewhere by ourselves (don't feel like playing on Shien because there's nobody there we know).

Also, on a side note, I'm not going to push that we go where I have a couple friends I know (playing with about 30 others I don't know). I'm sure each of us has friends playing somewhere else and we could go one of a dozen different places. Bottom line, though, is I think it should be somewhere that we can have another group we can team up with--whether CDL or some other group.
