There's more players in the US, I believe. And if they'd done 2 seperate time slots, people would have rushed back and forth when the other servers were up, and led to massive queues and complaining.

Also, I'm willing to bed the reason they picked this time was by looking at the server lowpoints globally. After all, most people play in the evenings.

Raphael · 27-12-2011 7:03pm

12 o' clock update is.... still no update. More information at 1pm CST, so 7pm GMT.

degrassinoel · 27-12-2011 7:13pm

i wouldnt count on getting in at 7 either, thats just an ETA update.. maybe.

Inquitus · 27-12-2011 7:15pm

These updates are more them checking in every hour to tell you there's no ETA lol!

Currently downloading the game, am as far as this- English Assets 1, its aout 4.8gb. This is roughly 20 hours after starting the download. Anyone any idea how much is left? If it helps, i got disconnected and restarted the launcher again where i was asked to accept the EULA etc today for the first time....

Not sure what order it downloads the individual files, but the total SWTOR folder size for me is 19.7gb. If you check your own folder you should get at least a rough idea.

BigEejit · 27-12-2011 7:26pm

Mind you i dont think the whole download is as much as 20GB, I downloaded the whole thing in an afternoon.

Assuming you mean the full EA folder, it's 23.3gb ATM

TOR is the only occupant of it so that's pretty much the size.....

23.3gb. I'm beginning to hate this game before i even play it

degrassinoel · 27-12-2011 7:29pm

servers are up now

Kiith · 27-12-2011 7:51pm

And i won't get to play now for about 4 hours

Well then, just quest and gui fixes.

So I can continue making loads of credits sending my robot slicing (and kaliyo when travelling/flying spaceship)

Spoke too soon, slicing got the arse nerfed out of it

Ornate medium credit case just now gave 1394, last night 2700 .... iirc it cost ~1200 to send them off on that quest

BigEejit · 27-12-2011 8:22pm

Just sent the robot to do the "be careful what you read" slicing quest (bountiful), it cost 1175 and took over 18 minutes. Got back a gilded medium credit box that gave 1402 = 700 credits/hour.

Well and truly nerfed. :mad:

Varik · 27-12-2011 8:23pm

72 in queue now and and if your planing on playing on Basiilisk droid you'll have 55m wait.

Kiith · 27-12-2011 9:17pm

I hate when they change things like that and don't mention it in the patch notes.

It was a crazy money maker though.

It's mentioned in the official patch notes: http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes/1.0.1/12272011

Kiith · 27-12-2011 9:33pm

Ahh, didn't notice that. Thanks.

Gummy Panda · 27-12-2011 9:54pm

Varik · 27-12-2011 10:18pm

is it my imagination or did mail about the AH used to tell you who, what, and how much you items were.

Get loads in and need that information to alter future prices.

ibFoxer · 27-12-2011 11:46pm

So i kept getting booted back to the start of the downloader- wrecked my head so i got the full firectory off my mate, deleted my old files, placed his in, now i can sign into the game with loads of sound and NO PICTURE!!!! Also cant ESC past the first FMV. Anyone any ideas here??

Varik · 28-12-2011 1:16am

Anyone done the quest

Reconstruction effort - Final stage Surface problems.

To get the skull eater's claw?

NO idea how to get up to that pipe.

Make sure you buy your ship upgrades in the Galactic Trade Market area on the fleet ship.

Also in all space missions theres never a reason to stop firing your blasters, just constantly hold the left mouse down and just fly around.

Wouldn't hold it down all the time, let your shields recharge from time to time!

Kiith · 28-12-2011 12:48pm

I thought your shields don't regenerate when you are firing?

I upgraded my ship as soon as i got it, and now the missions are easy enough. Did them al last night, and one of them got me down to about 25%, but that's it. It's a great way of getting xp though. Went up about 50% of a level by doing the dailys and two other missions.

I never even bother, I have'nt failed a space mission apart from the first time doing each mission to learn how it works.

Also dont forget to DO A BARRELL ROLL! (space bar).

Kiith · 28-12-2011 4:29pm

Can any Smugglers or Troopers tell me how they are finding healing? Going to reroll a ranged class tonight, as i'm a little tired of melee. Just not sure which class i want.

Also, how 'For the Empire!' is the Bounty Hunter? Is he all business, or is he more of a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter, with a code and all that?

He is not mandalorian by default. He can be whatever BH you want him to be.

Imp agent healer would be closest to Druid healer except with my hard casts. Merc healer would be more like paladin.

Healing on trooper is hard but easy if you pay attention you really start to shine as a healer at 30+ though early on it a a ball ace
