Oct 13, for 2 accounts (my son's and mine).

During beta, I could see all companions' items while I was on the ship with them. There was a right/left arrow when you clicked on the companion tab.

Oct. 13th. Hoping for first wave!

I think it's different for every player and it also depends on if you are playing on a PvE or PvP server. Then there is also the fact that some players have already heard most of the dialog (in beta tests) so they will skip or speed through those parts. I'm level 0 right now, hoping to get in with the first wave today. I only play PvE and will be speeding through some of the starting areas, but I'll also be playing with my son most days so I'll have multiple characters. He's only 6, so we will take our time and see/try everything we can. But he's also been playing MMOs with me for 2 years and was even in 2 of the beta tests.

I like how people ignore suggestions on how to fix a problem and continue to complain. Thanks for the tip Khelien! I never had a problem with the graphics, but I may try this out just to see if I'm missing anything.

Yoda is from New York, and I'm pretty sure I'm related to him in some way because my wife and mother-in-law talk just like him.. minus the whole "wisdom" thing..

I am confused about the "paying" for early access. It makes me think that the people complaining aren't the one paying the actual bill. Or, you haven't looked at your bill perhaps? I bought 2 copies of the Digital Deluxe game from Origin and on both receipts I have 2 charges: 1. The game for $74.99 2. The pre-order fee $5.00 Then if you read further, you are given a credit/discount for the $5.00. I have already payed the full price (as expected) for the games, but the pre-order fee is just a method to track when you ordered and generate a unique code to enable your chance at early access. I don't feel mislead in the least about my purchases, and if my son ever acted the way some people are on these forums right now, I can promise you he would't be playing that second copy of the game any time soon.
