When excatly does the weekend test start? Can't seem to find anything more specific other than just weekend. I also got an invite to this "weekend" and I asked myself the same question, didnt find anything unfortunatly :> I tried to look for a source that I read this morning but I couldn't find the thread. This beta test will be staggered based on when you RSVPd. First access will start 10:00CST on Friday. Second group will start at 10:00CST on Saturday. Third group will start at 10:00CST on Sunday and the beta will close down Sunday night.
This, here's the link for anyone wanting to see for themselves..
SWTOR beta test weekend times
Or if you're too lazy to click the link..
Hello everyone! We are excited to have you joining us for Beta Testing Weekend! We can’t wait to get you all into the test. If you just received your invitation today, you can visit www.swtor.com/tester to download the launcher and begin patching the game. To simulate a launch environment, testers who have accepted new invites to weekend testing will gain testing access in staggered intervals based on when their invites were accepted. The first group of testers will be able to log on beginning on Friday morning (11/25) at 10:00AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin). Then, Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin) the second and final waves of testers will gain access. Please watch your email for details about when your phase of testing begins. This will come in a separate email from your invite. To our existing testers: at 10:00AM CST on Friday 11/25, you will notice several new servers appear in server selection for the weekend test to accommodate all our weekend testers. You are welcome to create characters on these new servers, but please note that they will only be available for the duration of the weekend test, which ends on 11/27 at 11:59PM CST (11/28 5:59 London, 6:59 Paris/Berlin). All testers share forums at this time, so please welcome our weekend testers, who will be active in these forums for the duration of the weekend test!

Nah, I'd rather play Skyrim... 20gb?
26ish, actually.
I knew it was somewhere that someone said that it was well over 15gb of audio files alone.

Their website is completely down.
Can't log in to download the client.
Kind of don't care at this point. I just hope that this isn't representative of their launch.
|
Their site isn't "down" because it sucks persay. Its down for maintenance which they even announced in the beta test email that we all received this morning. Downloading typically for these betas wasn't enabled until Thursday.
As far as worrying about the launch, the game has been amazingly stable for me. I keep getting asked if I lag/DC, etc etc but so far the game has been a pleasant surprise.

I wish they gave specific instructions for downloading this beta weekend into their email. I left my old 11-11-11 beta weekend game files in and figured it would just patch or overwrite the older game files when I downloaded this weekend's build. Now I'm stuck with a 50 gig game file folder becuase I don't want to download the whole 20 gigs over again when my ISP charges extra for exceeding 95 gigs per monthly billing.

What do you mean you are stuck with a 50 gig folder? I had the same client from 11/11/11, logged in and it patched around 16 gigs. My game folder is now 36gigs.

Sweet concept but i think the game overall is just not the style it should be. I tested it over their beta weekend and it was so cookie cutter i'd rather grind games on starcraft.

Hm... well that sucks lol, oh well I'll be reinstalling the release version on launch day anyway. For some reason having that much HD space occupied really bothers me.

Well i received an email that i was eligible for testing.
I d/l the client and receive another email saying welcome to the beta tester program etc etc.
Is this only for this weekend ? email doesnt specify any date , it just sais that i can log and play( plus the usual pass from tester forums to give your feedback and such ) but after installation im not able to play
Is beta going on or is only for weekends now?
|
You're part of the weekend beta stress test this coming weekend. At this point, I don't think they're inviting anyone else to the regular game testing program. Release is too close now.

You know the SWTOR forums? They answer it what with being the official forums.
The OMGMASS email is for the beta this weekend. You can DL the client now. It'll let you log in when it goes live. Also if you check the dev tracker you can find the post that gives even specific times of when it starts.

I haven't decided which side i'm going to play at launch. So depending on which side I choose I'll be playing either Jedi Consular or Sith Inquisitor.

I played in the beta a few weekends back. The pvp just didn't seem crisp to me. The abilities had a slight delay while waiting for the animation to start up and it just felt sluggish to me. It could have been lag I guess, but it just didn't feel as smooth as I think it should have.

Last testing weekend I played jedi consular to 12 and bounty hunter to 8. I think this time I'm giong to try the smuggler and sith warrior.
I had the most fun with the bounty hunter, probably also because the jedi starting area was really overcrowded it made it hard to feel immersed with being a jedi. Watching 10 other jedi spawn camping quest objects and mobs looked real silly.

When I played in the last weekend, almost all of that was gone from what I noticed. It's pretty fucking smooth now.

Im in on Friday and my girlfriend is on Saturday, I think everyone is in on this weekend so hopefully servers can handle it, we want to figure out if we want to get this at release or just wait for awhile on it, or not get it all.

Good, looking forward to continuing then. Couldn't tell if it was lag or not, but there seemed to be some very slight queue of abilities that made it also seem less reactive. I'm assuming it was something like what Rift had (but it was toggleable in rift) so I'm not sure either if that was lag or not. Guess I'll see this weekend.
