Just watched the Gamescom raid footage... mixed impressions. Initially I thought the graphics would've been great but after seeing that, not so much. Much like any current MMO, which I guess they needed to do to keep it accessible for people's PCs. I wouldn't mind trying it out but I'm too into Rift atm. That being said, I can only imagine the mass exodus once this is released (hopefully only for the first month).
Oooo I just got a beta invite anyone else get one?
Downloading client now.
That's exciting
I applied for beta on the first day it was announced, so I'm hoping a little code is forthcoming sometime soon, too!
Do you remember if you registered as being in Australia? Wonder if they're descriminating on that front between users on account of release regions?
EDIT: Just read the bioware forums and apparently invites are completely random, some people have been regulars there since day dot and haven't seen nothing. Looks like you just won the lottery Benc82, you're off to The Island! _________________

The number and frequency of invite waves seems to be increasing. I'd be really surprised if it's anything later than a Novermber release, and given we're nearly at September now I can wait.
Yeah I just checked and I actually have my country set to US. I only changed that a few weeks ago, so maybe its worth doing? _________________ XBL/PSN/Steam: BenC82
Early access comes with pre-order, EVERYONE that pre-orders gets early-access. Must register code, first in best dressed.
Early access will be a few days before release (~3-7 days). There is 5 days grace period after launch to enter in your CD key.
Game client may be ~35GB
No Australian Release Date. No local servers.
Ping is going to be around 200ms because Speed of light is too slow for Aussies.
Yeah, I'll be waiting for my disc to arrive rather than download the client.
The thing that most has me worried right now is maintenance. The maintancen for vanilla WoW was early AM Tuesday for the US, and right in the evening for us down here, regardless of NA or Oceania servers. I'm hoping the servers will be staggered to avoid this for TOR.

I'm not sure the total size. I started the download client before work, it downloaded 1.6gb of video files and then it started downloading 19gb of game files.
Thats where I left it. There may be more after that, such as voice files. Hopefully its all done when I get home this arvo! Thankfully I have a 200gb/200gb monthly quota so no biggie. _________________ XBL/PSN/Steam: BenC82
I just saw another Cynical Brit video following a Vanguard Trooper in a warzone.
I wasn't really that excited until I saw it.
Seriously, it has me shaking at how awesome ti looks. I've lost the link, but a youtube search for it should bring ti up no probs.
As someone who's going to be rolling Trooper I was really interested to see how the class played and the player, even though he was playing the tank AC, still managed to rack up to second on the damage charts, so I'm wondering how the Vanguard will do on there.
Yeah good. Great game , though I only just got off the newbie planet so still low level. Many of the mechanics are WoWish, but thats a good thing imo. Very buggy still though. Fully voiced dialogue makes the story more interesting and engaging for me (compared to wow where i usually end up skipping the quest text).
Dont want to go into too many specifics coz of the NDA....you never know who's reading _________________ XBL/PSN/Steam: BenC82

I hear you man, that PvP was absolutely brilliant and visceral, and it was only relatively low level play. Be really exciting to see how the high level stuff works. _________________

Are you sure? I thought I heard them say this was higher level?
