Yeah, I'm allowed in at 4:00pm gmt. I bought a new microphone and got mumble, just need to set TKM server stuff for it alittle later. I'll be up for playing any side/class for some of the test, but I think the 2 things i'm out to do for this weekend are:
1) to get the right gfx settings so it runs well sorted.
&
2) create my Consular in the character creator and start taking some screenies for avatar/signiture pics. Print screen + Paint & paste are your friends :D

Will probably be on around 4 ish, as i do have some rl stuff on this afternoon that i'm trying to aim to finish at about 4. Looking forward to it!

As I type this, the client upgrade is taking forever. I hope there are no big queues.

Well aside from the massive server ques I finally managed to get into the game. Had to play around with the gfx options for awhile to get it to run decent. I even tried playing on a U.S server first since it didn't have a que, but holy smokes I don't recommend that at all, lag delays of about 6-8 seconds.

I also have a problem when I log out of the server the game seems to get stuck on the loading screen and won't go back to the server selection screens. Otherwise, I'm going to try to get on abit later, hopefully alot of people won't be logging in late night to it. Also, while it's great to hear people on mumble, I can't for the life of me concentrate on what's being said in game, so I might save my voice chat usuage for raids/pvp when the guild is live.

I have to say I had a real blast testing tonight. I was real surprised at how well the game runs on my laptop, it looks so sweet a low/med settings!

Spent a real long time in character creation experimenting on how I'm going to get JJ to look. Only thing I don't like is the body types. It would have been better with a slider. I would like a body somewhere between 2 and 3.

I also had an excellent time last night. Spent 3 hours doing 2 quests because I was actually using all the time tweaking hot keys and preferences. And also I find it's a long time since I played an MMO...but I found a very satisfying setup in the end, will post it on the setup thread.
Like you JJ, I spent a lot of time in character creation, trying to make Yoonbak come alive. I'm torn between body type 2 and 3 because of how the face looks. Today after work I'll play around with how I can make the 3rd one look a little less HuGe in the right clothes...but I don't know...can you say The Hulk?!?

And as far as the game impression goes...finally an MMO I can play. For years. Finally a deep and vast SW world with charm and awesome gameplay. The lightsaber/force powers combo fighting style was what impressed me the most, hadn't expected it to be THAT fun ^^

Well we had a blast yesterday as well ;)
Have been playing with Tym, Alwarin and Zenosis most part of the evening and we had a real blast. We've been hunting together as Agents & Bounty Hunter on Hutta, and some of the remarks for quests was just hilarious fun :)

Sadly... the server is down for maintenance...
After I went and did a Nekxyu too, slept 4,5 hours... woke up and found my body wanting more sleep but all my mind was working on was: SWTOR, SWTOR, SWTOR!
So... sitting here at my desk, with some breakfast, waiting for the servers.
