[Tbone]

In so far:

Tbone (Sentinel)
Anamodiel (Sage)
Lithium (Sage)
Broin (Sage)

Gambit (Sentinel)
Maglorius (Shadow)
Khr0n1k (??)

Setun (Trooper)
Zephic (Trooper)
Twotoeturtle (Trooper)



Objectives:

1. Test out the group mechanics and level to 10 as quickly as possible.
2. Create the guild!
3. Test out PvP Warzones
4. Collect data on skills/talents for individual classes.
5. Collect data on planets.
6. Dabble in crafting
7. Test out heroic content and flashpoints
8. Document anything that may prove helpful for launch!

 I assume there will be a few others. Since I've been in before, I want to be able to group up with some of the others and show them the ropes. My schedule is a not ideal for this weekend, but I'm going to make the most of it, and I wanted to see who would be around when I'm playing. So here's my schedule in FA time:

Friday:
5 p.m. - create character, then I have to run to work
9:30 p.m. - 4 a.m.ish - Play time!

Saturday (working all day):
9:30 p.m. - 4 a.m.ish - Play time!

Sunday:
10 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. - Play time!
9:30 p.m. - 4 a.m.ish - Play time!

Monday:
ALL DAY MARATHON until shut down at midnight.

So when all is said and done, I should be able to get a good 36 hours in. I won't get much sleep or do anything else, but hey, I can sleep later, right?

[Anamodiel]

Friday: 5pm until 4am.
Saturday: All day marathon.
Sunday: All day marathon.
Monday: 12pm-END

Seriously going to put so much time into this it won't even be funny. No drinking for me this weekend, and I have no tests or anything going next week. SO STOKED.

I nominate moving the meeting to Tuesday next week.

Willing to share your account for those less fortunate while you're away?

By the way, if you have trouble with getting the launcher to work like I did:

Here's how I got it working. Basically a part of the setup isn't unraring a section correctly.

1. Browse to the extraction folder (mine was User/AppData/Local/Temp/InstallSWTOR)

2. Open swtor.rar win WinRAR or another archive program.

3. Extract all the data from that file.

4. Open launcher.exe

5. Start patching!


And Fuse, we've already run into that problem once, so I'm not going to risk it

[Tbone]

Looks like I'll be able to roll with you most of the time, Ana. You'll probably just end up ahead of me since I'll be working.

Let's make sure to fill out all the surveys just in case they open up more weekends to some of us later.

[Lithium]

Well ironically my supervisor said if we felt like taking time off next week to go ahead and do so because we're in a 'slow' period for a week. Basically it means take a couple fucking days off. I guess I'll take at least Monday off.

[Broin]

I'm in BABY

[Tbone]

I wonder if it has something to do with us all applying on the same day probably on the same hour? lol

[Lithium]

I'm getting error:

ABORT: Certificate authentication failed, please re-install to correct the problem. (.\winmain.c/449)

I haven't researched the issue yet--but off to a bad start.

[Anamodiel]

Problem with the launcher right now, reports Bioware in the sticky. It'll be fixed tomorrow.

[Mavin]

if you just set your system clock back to either october 3rd or any day previous this past month ie september 4th instead and launch the game again you can get passed the abort cert auth error until bioware fixes it.

[ZephixLeer (Zephic)]

As far as the time I'll be playing... it looks like I'll have the entire weekend to play at the very least.

I'm working on a way to get off early on Friday. Though, Monday I'll be working from 2pm till 11. I'll likely not get much time in on Monday because of that schedule at work. I'd stay up late sunday though, till maybe 6-7am

Friday, if I get half a day off, I'll be on from around 8-9 PM until sometime saturday evening, maybe. Just depends when I decide to sleep.

[Tbone]

I'll know tomorrow if I have Friday night off. Here's hoping!

So initially it looks like we can group up into:

TYTHON:
Tbone
Broin
Anamodiel
Lithium
Evan

ORD MANTELL
Zephic
Setun

??
Twotoeturtle
Khr0n1k

At least until Coruscant..

[Avzeke (Khr0n1k)]

I am in too!

[Gambit]

Got my invite... patching now

Thank god I just got my computer up and running again last night!!
