Re: Endgame/Raiding for KOS

December 13 2011

I'm reading the posts and as a former raider (WoW of 7 years) I'm always amazed at what emotions Loot brings about. I've seen loot tear thru a raid team and destroy friendships.

I've been in every system possible from dkp, prioroity lists, officers deciding on who gets what and random rolls. Eventually everyone gets the items they want.

These are your guild mates your running with not some pug that you found standing around a space port.

I understand loot is important but loot shouldn't be the only reason for raiding.

I honestly hope they go with "everyone gets a bag at each boss kill". That would eliminate any problems with loot.

Same here, I had to pull myself away last nite to get some things done around the house. But I'm back at it this morning, hoping to get invited before I have to head out to work.

It's like waiting for Christmas morning to come.

Re: Digital Deluxe/CE Bonuses?

I figured about the e-mail part, any idea on if we'll get those e-mails tomorrow or have to wait until the 20th? It's not a huge deal, but it'd be nice to start early access with the bonuses. Read: Speeder.

From what I've read, Origin is sending it's keys out on the 15-16th. One of the CMs posted that on the official forums, though it's gone with the forum wipe. It may still be on Stephen Reid's Twitter (@rockjaw) though.

More details regarding Origin.com pre-orders

If you have pre-ordered The Old Republic through Origin.com, here's some more details.

For pre-orders of physical Standard / Collector's Editions

For anyone who has pre-ordered a physical copy of The Old Republic via Origin (either Standard or Collector's Edition), Origin will be shipping those copies beginning December 16th, for estimated arrival on December 20th. Depending on your relative location to a distribution center, it's possible your copy will arrive earlier. Origin physical orders are only available for US and Canadian postal addresses.

If you pre-ordered a physical copy, the payment card that you input into the Origin.com billing system at the time of pre-order will be used to charge the remaining cost of the full game, starting at 5AM PST / 8 AM EST on December 13th.

Please note: Origin will not be sending Game Codes digitally to customers who have a physical pre-order.

For pre-orders of digital Standard and Deluxe Editions

For anyone who has pre-ordered a digital copy of The Old Republic via Origin (either Standard or Digital Deluxe Editions), Origin will begin emailing Game Codes from 8AM PST (11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET) on December 16th to the email address associated with your pre-order. Due to the volume of codes being distributed, it may take up to 48 hours for all codes to be delivered via email. If you do not receive a game code email within 48 hours, please contact Origin Support.

Remember, redeeming a Game Code is not required to begin your Early Game Access. Your Early Game Access will begin based on when you redeemed your pre-order code, as originally supplied by Origin.

If you pre-ordered a digital copy, the payment card that you input into the Origin.com billing system at the time of pre-order will be used to charge the remaining cost of the full game, starting at 8AM PST (11AM EST / 4PM GMT / 5PM CET) on December 16th.

Please remember, by pre-ordering on Origin.com you agreed to the automatic purchase of your selected edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you no longer wish to receive your game, then you will need to cancel your order before your payment card is charged (December 13th for physical orders; December 16th for digital).

Bolded relevant points.

What do you guys think about this one?

I really like the holo look, but I think it needs a background image with less blue in it so that it will really pop. Maybe something in muted yellows or browns. Just a thought.

EDIT: Some of the Coruscant scapes would work really well I think.

I'll play around with it. Thanks for the suggestion :)

The big buzz is that male same-gender romances will be an option in ME3. As for which companions your MaleShep can get busy with, rumors say that it will be:

a) Kaidan Alenko (the hottie biotic from ME1 who returns in ME3)

b) James Vega (the beefy trooper that will be introduced in ME3)

c) Both (I don't think my PC's processor could handle all that smexiness!)

Naturally BioWare isn't commenting on any of this, damn them. Looks like we'll find out for sure in March!

I'm hoping for Joker (that pilot guy i think) or Kaidan

Re: drama for ya mama.. I found something..

December 13 2011

I was a member of Taint a few years ago. It was fine. Like any glbt guild they spoke up about homophobic players and chat comments on the server. That could be the "drama" that guy was talking about. Guild chat did get a little steamy at times lol. Eventually I just got tired of WoW.

I was also in Primsatic Order for a few months after Rift released. And joined Stonewall Fleet but didn't STO much. So far all of them have been great with their own character. But I'm really liking Knights of Stonewall.

You'll be able to create and have characters in both KOS and LOS.

You'll just need to get invited which may prove problematic if the officers arent straight in

The general beta I didnt get till hours later. Lucky I read on forums and rsvp'd before all that. Don't get me started on americans thinking we are backward. Did you see the amazing race ep where they went to aust and they had subtitles for ALL the locals!! Gah

The do that for Irish and Scottish English speakers as well. I can allays understand what they are saying. Then again I'm from Brooklyn and we speak kind of funny too =P

But I like the brooklyn accent. I'm worked with alot of tourists and people from all over, Lithuania anyone? Most of the time its not that hard to understand anyone. The hardest to follow, for me at least, is the welsh.

Is there going to be a server wide chat channel for all the GLBTQ guilds?

isn't the a name for the Alliance of the GLBTQ guilds?

hmmm maybe set up a site for the alliance guilds... I feel an idea coming on...

In my experience alliance websites are always pretty dead as everyone favours their own particular guild and as such I don't think it would be worth the time and effort to set one up.

As for the alliance chat room, if it's possible it would be worth doing but they don't work like normal chat rooms in my experience. There's a reason people join different guilds, it's because they have different rules and different play styles. Throwing everyone into the mixer together would create a whole load of problems and some "You can't tell me what not to say" drama.

Alliance chat rooms are good if you can keep them to important information like "KoS raid need 3 more" or "Sith attacking western gate!!!"

I love alliances but nobody should be expecting a utopian society just because we are all GBLT :)

because of where we live....you know we can hardly speak English and still walk on all 4's. The internet we use is 2 tin cans and a long piece of string.

I got my email at 9.28am your time..check all your folders etc. As I didnt preorder on day one I dont expect to get an invite for a couple of days anyways :(
