I had an epiphany playing it today

Post by **Xouqoa** » May 3, 2003, 2:06 am

I can't ever log in. Everytime I try (even if "All servers are currently up") I can't connect to the login server. I've managed to play a whopping three times I think so far.

ran into that today...really wanted to create a certain class, and even though the servers were up, it kept timing out...then it did the same trying to log one of the other characters in

woe is me

i'ma go out on a limb here...is EQ2 better than EQ?

miir · Post by **miir** » May 4, 2003, 2:55 am

We arent talking about EQ2.
It's the other game.

ran into that today...really wanted to create a certain class, and even though the servers were up, it kept timing out...

Yeah, huge patch today but it pooched server stability.. hopefully better tomorrow...I wasn't able to play more than 10 mins.

On the bright side, I plowed through most of 56 on my bard today.

What class did you want to try?
I found my calling with Entertainer.

I was working on a Combat Medic, but honestly that game can barely hold my interest... Just waiting for the NDA to be lifted.

I can't see it happening soon

what are the consequences for mentioning the name of a game one is beta testing before one is allowed to publicly mention the name?

are we talking life in prison here?

I don't think it is ready, but the site mentioned it being lifted soon. Personally I think it's a mistake. There is a good "shell" for the game, but that's all I see of it so far.

LOL... some people can get really tight assed about NDAs and I was being excessively vague on purpose.

I've seen people (other beta participants) go so far as to hunt down people...post real name, address and even pictures of people who toe the line on NDAs... eventhough the worst they will do is boot you out of beta, a NDA is still a legally binding contract.

Is that your dog, Miir? Btw... I need to kill you more in PS~

More?

Ebumar · Post by **Ebumar** » May 5, 2003, 3:16 pm

Yes, more. I think I've only killed you twice. >_<

I'm amazed that you even killed me once.
Have they added time travel?
I haven't logged on PS since beta 3.

Ebumar · Post by **Ebumar** » May 5, 2003, 8:56 pm

I'm pretty sure I killed "Miir" twice. And this is only beta 2 or something like that...

Just get the LaunchPad application from someone (you might already have it if you have Tanarus, Infantry, or PlanetSide installed) and run it with:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\LaunchPad\LaunchPad.exe" /game:starwars

You can download it all. You might have to modify the location, of course.

so this is SWG...don't worry, i won't tell anyone

Mawafu · Post by **Mawafu** » May 27, 2003, 8:34 pm

I got my beta 3 email invite last week. I clicked on the link to complete my application and the site says I'm not in beta yet and to wait patiently (or some shit like that) for the email letting me know that I have been invited.

wtf ><

Vaemas · Post by **Vaemas** » May 28, 2003, 10:10 am

Thanks Xou...of course, the bastards want me to order the CD before they'll email me a key...*growls*

oh well...

Please justify paying Sony to Beta Test SWG. I don't get it.

Considering the anticipation and hype surrounding it, Sony can afford to pick and choose who beta tests. I think it's pretty shrewd of SOE to charge people for the delivery costs of the beta CDs.
BUT, judging from the burnout rate of beta testers, they will probably have to start giving away beta access to the rabid fanboys on the public forums.

It's a long ways from release, in my opinion.... but then again I havent logged on in over 2 weeks. The perpetual downtimes, roll backs and showstopping bugs really killed any interest ever I had for the game.

Salis · Post by **Salis** » June 3, 2003, 12:53 pm

Fuck if I'm paying 30 bucks (delivery charge to UK lol) to beta test this bullshit!
