Thanks for the tips, I'm just starting out a Vanguard too and this helps. For leveling, is it better to go with the Endurance heavy items or Aim? A lot of the mods will either be 10 Aim / 8 Endurance or 12 Endurance / 6 Aim. It seems like Aric does the most damage and I just stand there soaking it up, so I'm not sure if I should be tankier or more damage.

Well if I pronounce something then I'm saying it out loud, so I say "The Old Republic". I also don't say OMG or *** in real life either though, so your mileage may vary. Oddly though, I say WoW in real life but usually just type out World of Warcraft. To be fair though, WoW is more ingrained in people and culture now though, and SWTOR has just come out.

He does bring up a good point though. If Bioware succeeds at failing, have they succeeded or failed?

Wearing it on what?

Why do I have to pay first and last months rent upfront?! It's not like billions of people have stayed for 29 days and then left without paying!

- Check map and find person on it. - Determine their location and if they're moving or not. - Wait a few seconds for them to get there or kick them and find someone else. - Problem solved.

Game cards cost whatever the subscription costs. If it's 14.99 a month then you get a 60 day card for $29.99.

Currently, the only use for dark side and light side is because of gear. You'll find equipment that either requires a certain rank (Dark Side I or Light Side III) or that you can't use if you're a certain side (Dark Side forbidden). There is no such thing as "grey" side as far as equipment goes, so you'd be missing out if you don't pick one or the other. Also, the Dark Side currently changes your appearance as you rank it up.

I've seen people with the Black Bisector title but haven't achieved it with any of my characters. What am I missing?

It's an option in the preferences menu...

It's not a lottery, it's a lack of reading comprehension + laziness on your part. They said on day one of pre-orders that the day you redeemed your pre-order code would determine your place in early access. So there is no "lottery" or randomness to it, those of us who took the time to read 2 sentences and order in the first few weeks got in first. It doesn't get any fairer than that, unless you'd rather no one got in at all which is what every other ##$(*#($* game does.

What's screwed up exactly? There aren't any problems in game, and the servers haven't crashed. I think you should actually play it before you start complaining about a bad launch. Or is this just another, "Waaaah, I didn't pre-order early and get to start playing with everyone else yet" thread?

What exactly is not fair about Bioware saying, "the earlier you pre-order, the earlier you'll get into early access" and then doing that. It's real simple. If you wanted to get into early access on day one, you should have pre-ordered on day one. Period.

Considering it's his personal account and not the official Bioware SWTOR twitter, he can say what he damn well pleases. And no it's not a real issue. They said from day one that early access was determined by when you pre-ordered. Besides, once all the whiners get in to play they'll magically forget about crying and just enjoy the game.

No it doesn't remind me of that because getting a golden ticket was extremely limited and random. Getting into early access just required you to pre-order right away instead of procrastinating.

Hitting F5 is unnecessary. All you have to do is open the launcher and see if the PLAY button is lit up. It's possible your ISP could delay an email for hours, or it could get lost in the spam folder.

It will be in the box for your game if you ordered the physical edition. You'll get the items then since you can't actually prove you bought it until December 20th when it releases. You got the crystal because that was a PRE-ORDER bonus, and you redeemed a pre-order code.

That would be your $5.00 pre-order fee plus tax. Not sure why it was refunded though.

From what I heard in game earlier, September was the cut off for today.

I don't know what list you're looking at but EVERY server was listed as light, except for two that were medium. It depends on the time of day too you know. Check during prime times to see the real stats.

Or you could, you know, start on one of the new servers they're opening on launch day. But that wouldn't be as dramatic as you're making it out to be.

I bought a laptop just to play this game at work while we're slow during Christmas. While sitting around during pool league last night, I left my laptop open with the game running. One of the bartenders came up and said "Holy #$)( is that Knights of the Old Republic 3??" It was fun explaining it to everyone that wandered by. Except the drunk people. No one likes talking to drunk people.

There is no such thing as a "digital CE". You can either get the Digital Deluxe or the Collectors Edition. Whether it's worth it or not is subjective and can't really be answered for you.

In the history books? Whatever. It's a common marketing term that covers a few options instead of just one. Like "while supplies last" or "limited quantities available." It's just stupid to expect them to change all their advertising on a day to day basis when they probably weren't even sure how many people they were doing for each wave. Are you so entitled that you think they should have changed all the ads to say "Pre-order now to get in on wave 3 on the 4th day." No wait, scratch that. "Pre-order now to get in on wave 6 on the 5th day." Yeah that makes so much sense.

Are you aware that you think they're letting in five ways a day based solely on how the first day went? Are you aware that you have no idea how many people are getting into each wave? Are you aware this could have been avoided if you pre-ordered sooner than later?
