Got my invite! …stupid maintenance.

Woo, got in last nite. Says I am in for this weekend. I am kinda torn. I don’t really want to spoil it but I do want to get a glimpse of the game.

Question- after the dl, when I hit the log in screen I just get a frame and a blank square in the middle- I assume that is because everything is currently down and it will populate once the new test starts?

Aaaaaaand I’m…

hating all of you.

I actually got in, but there is no way I’m playing it over Skyrim. :)

I hate you most of all, Scarecr- BleedTheFreak.

“I’m in but hey I’m playing Skyrim” is being pretty cruel to the non-invitees. (Particularly the ones who also don’t have Skyrim.)

Are people getting repeat weekend invites? I got into a previous one, but didn’t get an invite for this one (I’m also not in a guild yet AFAIK, though I applied to Tatooine Royal Navy). I’m under the impression that you only get one beta weekend, but I can’t remember where I heard that, and they may have just been making it up.

I am not playing Skyrim this weekend, so I will be putting this to good use. I’ve been very ambivalent on TOR over the last few months – I look forward to trying it out personally.

You asked to be in the beta and now you’re not sure if you want to do it?

Unless you applied in the last couple days, you’re in the Navy.

Well, actually this is the first time in like 5 years I have been picked for a beta. Ok fine, I suck. And ok fine, I’ll play, not just look. woo

I think it was on Monday.

I’ll check once it’s back up, but then you’ll be in.

Yes, you seem to be in on the joke now. :)

Sending out a batch of beta invites and pulling the site down for maintenance is an even better troll than the mistaken email they sent out a while back. Bravo Bioware, bravo.

OK, no worries, I figured it would get seen eventually.

oh noez, I got an beta invite on the weekend of skyrim… what am I to do…

play skyrim on one monitor and SWTOR on another…

ImaTarget · 2011-11-09T10:00:38.000Z

Even If I got my invite now it would probably be too late to finish the download in time for me ANYWAY. Yea. I keep telling myself that.

Yeah, I don’t think I will buy Skyrim this weekend because of the weekend beta.

too late, I already purchase and preload skyrim before I got the beta email…

I expect if I got into a weekend beta this weekend, I would download the client and never play it. This weekend is all Skyrim, all the time.
