Title: Beta Testing Weekend Nov. 11-13
Post by: Amarantus on November 08, 2011, 05:17:21 pm
Even though I was 100% sure I wouldn't see this game before release, it seems that I will be in this weekend test.

Did anyone else get in and if so do we want to set something up like those in the previous beta weekend did?

*Edit*
Edited the date for the beta test.
It is going to start Friday the 11th at 5pm FA time and ends the 13th at 11:59pm FA time.

So lame that we aren't getting the additional play times the previous two builds got. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Nothing yet, but considering I've already been in a weekend testing, I'm not really expecting anything. I'm hoping a majority of our members get in, though!

On the plus side looks like those of us in the long term beta testing will be able to make characters on the servers y'all are able to, at the very least.

Quote from: "AmberGreen (BioWare - Game Testing Coordinator)"
Hello and welcome to game testing! We can’t wait to get you all into the test. If you just received your invitation today, you can visit www.swtor.com/tester to download the launcher and begin patching the game. Then, on Friday 11/11 at 5:00PM CST (11:00 London, 00:00 (midnight) Saturday 11/12 Paris/Berlin) you’ll be able to log in and play!

To our existing testers: at 5:00PM CST on Friday, you will notice several new servers appear in server selection for the weekend test to accommodate all our weekend testers. You are welcome to create characters on these new servers, but please note that they will only be available for the duration of the weekend test, which ends on Sunday 11/13 at 11:59PM CST (Monday 11/14 6:00 London, 7:00 Paris/Berlin).

All testers share forums at this time, so please welcome our weekend testers!


It is not real clear if weekend testers will be able to make characters on the servers we are on but if you can make your characters on Darth Malak server, the majority of us have characters on the imperial side.  My Sith Inquisitor is the Mirror of the Jedi Consular, the skills and attacks are named different, and the effects may be different but they play the same.

Unfortunately I can't get into the game right now as the servers are down... but from memory the names of some of our characters are:
Paitryn
Jintoll
Ragnarok
K'lia
Aikell
Tinzzak

Hope to see you all there!!!

Broin! Can you call my new job and tell them I am needed for some highly classified Military something-or-other? At this point, A Military excuse is the only thing that can get me out of work because calling in sick on my probation period is instant termination. =(

FINE, I guess I'll have to play on your account FOR you. Twist my arm...!

I got an email from Bioware titled "Prepare for Deployment". Clicked on it and it started talking about our guild and I thought for a split second "Guild beta invite!"

Nope...just telling me about the Phase 3...sigh...

Haha, it's only sharing if YOU use it as well =P

Strod, what install problem are you having? I'm sure there's a fix or at least a discussion about it on the forums if there's some kind of bug.

Make sure you guys get down information about the crafting. It's gone through a few changes, and I want to make sure we're up to date on it. Also, if anyone is going to play Sentinel, let me know if they once again have Overhead Slash!

I'm mad. I was supposed to go up early Friday to hang with Adad and Lith. Might have to pass on that now though.

This is really a test of how nerdy I am. I can either hang out with people in RL, who are gaming buddies, or play a game with gaming buddies. sonuvabish.

The people you would be hanging out with in RL would probably understand if you'd rather play the game that you've all spent over a year waiting for.

Yea, I've looked up and down on the forums and nothing that has worked for people has yet to work for me.

I got my email last night and went to the website to download it.

(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1983/swtorsetup.png)

I click the button above.

(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/190/extractingg.png)

This pops up and extracts until the bottom bar if full. My computer then asks if I'm sure I want to let this program make changes. I say yes and the box goes away and nothing happens.

I have uninstalled AVG and nothing else seems to work.

Is your spyware/virus scanner snagging it? I had to completely shut down my PCTools Spyware Doctor because event though I added permission for the program to run it would still kill it. Shutting it down solved the issue and I was able to install just fine.

Trying to get windows to work again on my mac pro so I can play this weekend...no fucking jokes about macs.

I'd have a new one if they'd release one.

Also waiting for SWTOR.com to work again so I can download it. Anyone able to tell me the total size after update?

Delete the download and download it again. Sounds like you may have a corrupt or incomplete file in the bin.

I saw posts last night while looking for a solution to my install problem (still not working) saying that it was like 20 gigs.

Well, I said pain in the ass because it's pretty lame I have to jump through hoops to get a result I shouldn't have to jump through hoops for.

In the end, after countless attempts to "fix" the problem on my end, I said fuck it and just installed the launcher on another computer and then transferred that to my main rig and started patching it there.


So, any idea of where we are going to meet up. It seems like some people got in but most are busy.

To clarify this...
It was patching when I left for work. It appeard to be working. However, I don't know if I was part of the same weekend you're considering. There was a new build released before my last weekend... so maybe I got lucky.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know here if it doesnt work. :P
