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.
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!!!
-
That's awesome... Hopefully more from FA will get in.
-
just got my invite and downloading now
-
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. =(
-
Got an invite. System probably can't handle it... woot

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...
-
Oh they teasin ya now...
-
Especially considering that apparently guild invites did go out today:

Those BASTARDS

Edit: Already deleted

Skry got in as well...
-
I finally got a weekend beta invite for this next weekend, I'm really excited to be able to figure out my character build and do some testing.. This will save me alot of time on making my avatar on launch day..
-
Holy shit... Time to uninstall Starcraft. I'm in.
-
Shit. I'm going to be in Chicago all weekend. Boo.
-
Aequitas invite obviously!
-
I received an invite too.
-
Shit. I'm going to be in Chicago all weekend. Boo.
Aw man, guess I'm gonna have to take your account TOO! No thanks necessary!

I would, but I was specifically told by our commander we shouldn't risk it due to problems we've had with sharing in the past.
hehe. :)
-
Too bad mine will not install, this is pretty disheartening. What a waste.
-
Didn't get in. I think I'm dead to the pain, now...*sob*
Can any of you lucky ba...ahem, fellas do me a favor and show me what kinds of options you have for rolling an elderly (or at least aged) black jedi consular?

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!
-
Cool, i'm in. Too bad i'll be working throughout the weekend. I'll be up all night playing this though.
-
I'm in. I have some personal business during the day on Saturday, but I'll be up all night!
-
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.
-
Bah. I'm in for once too. Although I was making plans for this weekend.... maybe not now, I don't know. BAH!

Why not invite them over to your place so they can hang over your shoulder and watch?

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.
-
I'm IN!!

Didnt Adad get an invite too though?
-
didn't Adad get an invite too though?
Yes he did ;)
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?
-
... For whatever reason, once I have the SWTOR_setup.exe and I click it, I can get no further in the process.
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.

Again, I really have tried everything, this step i repeated about 7 times last night.
-
Yeah, it was about 21Gb or so...
Adad, party at your place Friday night?
I would invite everyone to my place, but I have to be in Chicago this weekend. I'm going to the Bears game and then Monday is my wifes birthday.
-
I already have plans with people from work, we setup a few weeks ago, but gave lith the details. we'll be at Mad River at 7 friday.
-
I had to perform a pretty pain in the ass work around, but it seems to be patching.
-
Hooray, got an invite!
-
what was the workaround ?
-
HELL YEAH USER ERROR FOR THE WIN BABY....
So when I first signed up on the forums I regeisterd under my hotmail account and Tbone said that those are usually slow on acknowledging so I then did it again with my gmail account.
I've always been using my hotmail account, but guess what I just got in my gmail....
BETA INVITE FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!!
-
Nice old man
-
what was the workaround ?
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.
-
Got my invite. Also downloading.
-
Sooooo I think I'm putting off the drive to Chicago until Sunday for the game.
Sorry Adad/Lith. Priorities call.
See you guys in game 5pm Friday.
-
No problem. Have fun!
-
Let the patching begin!
-
I managed to snag an account for the weekend! I'm in!
-
And.. I'm in!
-
AUGH! This would have been the best weekend to get in! Just started a new job, and after this weekend my sleep schedule is going to go crazy. Just my luck.
-
Yay! I managed to get an account, too. I LOVE MY LIFE!
-
You need to change the title of the thread then, punk.
-
Broin changed it because he's cranky.
-
I am too.
-
Hackers!
-
I am in! 11-13
-
My alt account (made purely to enter different regional info) has been given weekend beta access.
Given I have full access already, I'll offer it up to the first person to PM me.
-
Done!
-
NoCry ended up with other commitments so it's still on offer.
-
I received an invite today for this weekend. Woohoo!
Anyone know If I need to download a new version since the last weekend test?
I really hope not... But I guess it doesn't hurt to be sure, eh?
-
I had to uninstall mine and then reinstall because it didn't work... But my weekend was awhile back
-
I received an invite today for this weekend. Woohoo!

You will have to download the new version since it is a new build.
-
I got an invite for this weekend as well. Really looking forward to checking this out.
-
If anyone has an extra invite they are willing to give away, I have the entire weekend open for testing. Elianna is working all day on Saturday, and the only other commitment I have is Sunday World of Darkness campaign.
-
Hey guys i'm in for this week, if you could though i need the teamspeak server name info so i can be able to log on and talk with everyone.
-
A friend at work got into the game, but his computer won't run it... so he gave me his account infos. ;)
-
Hating all of you right now.

It's the same it has always been: followtheangel.org
By the way, several of you have not done our final check in (http://thefuriousangels.com/index.php?msg=111412) yet. If you want to play with us at launch, you will need to do so.
-
SWTOR.com have announced that several sites (http://www.swtor.com/news/news-article/20111111-0) will have beta keys to give away.
-
EU PEOPLE! Check your e-mails! Just got in!
-
I just got an email inviting me to what I assume is the open beta.
-

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
