Star Wars: The Old Republic

If I play, it’ll probably be as a bounty hunter. I already played trooper, so might as well check out the mirror class.

Wallapuctus:

Just make a new account and tell us why we’re all wrong.

I’m not going to break the NDA, anonymously or otherwise. As soon as they lift it, though…

The urge to join the beta is very strong here, but I know the asceting virtues will ultimatelly pay.

Playing the game now means get spoiled by a big fat chunk of the game. Being forced to repeat content wen the game release. And suffer the break of bonds with your beta character wen the beta to release wipe kill it.
That character you are playing now, will die, and will be lost, maybe forever.

Is better to stay the hell away from the beta, and wait until the game release.

Can anyone else in threevil confirm they have NOT received a key? It’s sounding like the guild got an invite, except I don’t see one.

No invite here.

Bluto · 2011-08-19T11:13:25.000Z

Me neither. You do get an email, right?

Wallapuctus · 2011-08-19T11:31:13.000Z

I applied to the guild. I figured since no one in the beta will tell me how wrong we all are I’ll try to experience it for myself.

I want to be wrong, I really do! But… Juggernaut is absorbing the damage.

There’s something to be said for this, especially in a game which is supposed to rely so heavily on story. However, I’ve got no problem at least running the classes, especially the Imperials (I’m playing Republic at launch) through some starter areas to find out what I want to play. And if the content is 100% different between the factions as they’ve claimed, then there should be less harm in leveling on the Empire side for a while too.

If the guild was getting an invite, I’m pretty sure it would go to Jason McMaster (or for the TRN, me!), and then they work it out or something. But guild leaders are the point of contact for the guild-based invites according to what I know.

Here neither.

Yes, but it doesn’t come from Bioware directly; they use a marketing firm that injects annoying advertisements into the message. Try looking through your mailboxes for emails you may have dismissed with subjects including things like loan, mortgage, herbal viagra, length, girth, c1@l1s, russian hotties, and stamina.

They have a large staff sending the email from two separate offshore distribution centers, and it tends to come from either Russian girls’ names (Rebecca, Sandy, Cherry, AppleAss, RosyNipples) or Nigerian professional gentlemen (Barrister Steven Ngumbo, Dr. Aristotle Mandagma, Master Ronal Chid Jones).

Good luck.

I’d rather get into the beta so I could figure out how the hell the tradeskill system works before launch. Would dislike to start the rush to endgame without having the full details on which skills would be the best to pick for myself and my companions. How Resources/Recipes are handled, BOE/BOP etc.

This is totally going to be a meme.

That’s so cruel. And hilarious!

There’s a really wealthy prince who wants to deposit 10 million dollars into my bank account, and then he will withdraw it later, but he’ll leave $250,000 in there for me! I wonder if he is the guy who also sends the invites for the beta?

stusser · 2011-08-19T15:20:11.000Z

No, no, those are scams. This is real, dude. BELIEVE!

I got my invite from a beautiful classy lady named Natasha, who thought I looked cute on my facebook page and wondered why I didn’t call her back. That’s weird, because I don’t have a facebook page, but I figured my PC must have taken a picture when I signed up for the beta in 2009. Anyway, apparantly all the guys in Russia are drunks and she wants a real man who’ll treat her right back in the good ol’ stars n’ stripes. Sadly, her landlord is being a dick and our burgeoning relationship will be cut short if I don’t wire several thousand dollars US via Western Union to cover last month’s rent and her sickly aunt’s medical care. Also, she advised me to play a Sith Marauder and provided a beta code, but I had to flirt with her a bit and buy her a surprisingly expensive purse to get it. We’re getting married in-game in Nar Shadda, then she’s flying direct to Toledo to meet my mom and dad! We’re sooooo in love!

How do I apply to the Qt3 guilds?

Jason_Townsend · 2011-08-19T22:40:18.000Z

You have to kill Stusser.

Periastron · 2011-08-20T00:42:24.000Z

Since EA has seen fit to burden me with two Origin accounts, I used the other one to apply to the eeeevil guild! Pericynthion.
