Darn. I did burn the last of my pto starting the 16th so I'd be ready. BioWare, you pulled a fast one! *shakes fist at the sky*

:blush: I'd feel ashamed of using the time for a video game if six other co-workers hadn't done the same thing for Skyrim, CoD/MW, and other games throughout the year.

Okay here they both are...

Good Morning All,

I'm looking for the connection information for Ventrilo. I see the little web app status box but I couldn't make it give me the details for the real client, heh. I also couldn't find it in the forum, probably my own failure.

I was going to split my play time between the guild and my brothers (who are playing with their old WoW guild I can't stand, on another server) but one is waffling and the other just got fired. As terrible as it is, it means I can now not feel guilty by focusing on this guild instead, heh. I'd like to lurk on ventrilo in the near future to talk to and get to know people before early access/launch.

We have a post going on this and these would be great to add.

Look down a few posts...Tips and Tricks.

Can we get these add to the Tips and Tricks post?

I've read thru that. We still need a place that has just links to stuff.

Well sorry that folks get so worked up over this and no I don't live in a red zone.

I'm probably just to old to get all worked up over pixels and access to a mmo. (that's just me thou) I do like mmo's and I get just as excited as the next person on release and so forth.

I just don't take them to heart as others do and I won't let it get me upset. I save the rage for stuff like the fact my company is going to have layoffs in the next month (yeah....merry christmas) and many good people are going to be out of work while a bunch of over paid executives get to keep their jobs.

Again sorry you guys are not getting on as early and no need to apologzie for being upset and venting. If I could ship you a game I would but not sure how that would work.

Thanks. Those will come in handy :) Looks like the jedi knight companion Lord Scourge is the same one that was in the Revan novel. Interesting ;)

It took maybe a week or so to get really used to it, but now i dont think i could go back to clicking.

I hold you personally responsible for spending $70 to replace my $90 (albeit 5 year old) Logitech G9x with the original Naga. :) I had a few set-up/startup issues, but it might have had something to do with the fact that there were 2 mouses plugged in at the same time.

SW:TOR will be the first game that I will be using to put it through it's paces, so I'm hoping learning a new character from scratch with the mouse will make it completely natural.

I'm not a huge fan of where the "Forward/Back" buttons are, I actually put one of the nubs on the Back button because I found myself having a harder time hitting that one than the 12-button grid.

I figure with it being Christmas, I've got about a month and a half to test it before I need to commit to keeping or returning it.

I had the same thought about the back forward buttons when i first got it, but now its instinctive. when i use my BF's logitech mouse, i find myself trying to hit the back button in the wrong place all the time :P Im sure you'll love it though.

Well I don't think its as simple as that. A vast number of players are in the red zones and can't get access to the game after launch. For eg, in australia there is no way to get game access unless you import from sites like amazon. No digital option, no way you'll get it before xmas. December if you're lucky, and even with the pricey priority shipping.

This is so frustrating. Such a simple problem, they know I've preordered, they can have my cc details, I'll pay 3mth/6mths/whatever!! Why can't we play at launch like the yanks and euros??? Is it really that hard?

No what this is about, is getting people to cancel where ever they have preordered and order from origin, so EA gets more $$$

Yes, I do get your point Van, you're right, it's not a life changing problem, I should just build a bridge and all that etc. Its just very frustrating to be put to the side, yet again, for the priority zones. Red zones got left out of most of the beta, I registered from day 1, I would of even PAID to play beta. I've been waiting for ages and planned and set aside time this xmas period to get my gaming on, only to be shafted yet again!! It just absolutely sucks. I'm not the only one, there's massive threads all over the place.

So please, do not trivialize my nerdrage. Unless you live in the red zones, you do not know how powerless AND SUCKY it feels right now.

** sorry for ranting **

I think the thing that set people off the most was Stephen Reid's implication that we (the players) misunderstood something when it was clearly shown that he had posted an faq about it.

Something I was playing around with... still working on how to make a metallic look all shinny and metal like :)

The type says:
Lords of
Stonewall

I really like that :). is it sad that i could read the aurebesh?

Heres the one i made. Actually it was kind of an accident. I was trying to copy the tor icon and was scrolling through different gradients and found i really liked the rainbow one :woohoo:

Nick, if you didn't use a gradient to colors those, what did you use?

Got the same msg, will do the download tonite when I get home.

To funny, thanks for that vid.

Ya know what...after the 20th of December most of all this anger is going to go away and folks will be playing the game, having fun, laughing at how many times I've crashed my ship into something durning space combat and over all enjoying the game and each others company.

I know lots of folks are going to say "but I was told I was going to get early access", if you don't get in till the 20th or the 22nd, that is okay as the game will be here, your guild mates will be here and the galaxy will go on. Just think, a year from now I wonder if anyone will even be able to give specifics on all this complaining.

Thanks to Fauxy for reminding me to check my email. The instructions from BioWare was there with the button to download. I'll do that tonite.

As they said they will start early access on the 13th, I do not expect to get the invite for the 13th and actually hope I don't as I have to work next week, with the exception of the 16th which I have off. I figure a 3 day weekend will be enough.

See here: Just say no to gradients.

Interesting point. I will give this some thought regarding my own sig.

Does anyone besides me think that movie should be made "best in history", for all of the versions that have been made so far? :lol:

Good idea

Im still gonna hang fire for a day or so and see what transpires..still hoping on a grace period or a statement from amazon.
