Who actually is in for Star Wars?

[Syt]

I'm in on Friday, 4pm my time, which sounds rather ideal.

is that 10AM CST? Because then it's the same as me.

[Syt]

Actually, it's 5 pm. CST is -7 for CET.

I guess I'm in for the beta of this dumb game tomorrow.  I've got the client downloaded and all that stuff.

Maybe I can convince my brother to play on the same server as all y'all bitches.

10am CST.

Saturday.



I guess I didn't confirm soon enough.

I just spent three hours levelling a smuggler to Level 7. Surprisingly fun so far. I picked smuggler because it's not a class I would play at release - and if I get this game after all, I don't want to re-do quests I've done before.

It's retty standard MMO fare so far, but the addition of the Bioware dialogue system adds a lot for me.

Usually in MMO it goes for me like this: run to quest giver, click accept, then check the map where I have to go/what I have to kill. Rarely, if ever, do I read quest descriptions in detail.

Having the quests presented in dialogue greatly increases immersion for me, even if it's your standard fetch or kill quests. Though quests so far seem a bit more varied (kill x enemies has so far mostly been a bonus objective in an area) and some of them have a few twists and allow you to make moral choices.

Graphics look fine to me. The texture palette and look reminds me of Clone Wars - which is fine for me, but it may put off others. At 1920x1200 at max settings I usually have 20-25 fps, with a few locations going down to 10, and dialogues often in the 30-40 range.

Yeah, I just jump into some classes seeing the intro and getting a feel for them, because I am pretty sure now that I'll get this.

It is like an exact WoW clone gameplay-wise, but as Syt said the cutscenes, and the class-specific main storylness seem to add enough. Well, beside the Star Wars theme of course.

I would probably not care at all if it was an unkown sci-setting, but hopefully it will be like playing a KOTOR game.

I made a Jedi Knight on BB's server name Arthois.

[Caliga]

I've got a Twi'lek suggler named Nieb Fosca on the Khoonda Mercenary Company server.  Played for maybe 2 hours total today.  Seems ok, but I'm not overwhelmed or anything.

I'll be on tomorrow.

Uh....Belgoth's beacon is server name

[Caliga]

Hmm... are you fools going to insist on a PvP server once again?

wtf is the point in that? The gameplay itself has been done about a dozen times. It's the setting and the story which should be worth the purchase, and how that is made better by being griefed by a character named Yodacansuckit, is beyond me.
