Early days but so far its excellent.
If the content is there which should be it will be a long term mmo for me.

With the majority of us now in the game, I hope you all have a great time playing and we will hopefully meet you in some warzones, or catch a few of you when you are questing :P

so whats the game like? just another wow copy or is actually a good game? i loved kotor 1+2 but seeing as this is a mmo is the story crap?

It feels like KOTOR crossed with WoW; KOTOW, if you will. I like it so far, looking forward to getting to play for a decent length of time, I'm a Sith Inquisitor. I'm only level 3, so I don't know about the story yet!

After you enter your code and sec token thingy you should get your stuff straight away if you are in game already. If not there is a thread in the customer support forums where some people havent gotten their things. You should post in there and / or open an ingame ticket. For anyone straggling making a decision - If you enjoyed Kotor and would like it to be on a bigger scale, get it.

I got mine after an hour or so, but they did arrive. Haven't gone to see the CE store yet.

It's pretty much a new KOTOR game that's more action orientated. At the moment, I've been playing it just like a singleplayer game. I've only levelled 3 characters to about lvl 11 at the moment, and so their stories are only really getting started, but they're well written so far. It's worth getting, even if it's only for a month to see how it plays.

Loving the game. Got my Merc to lv12 last night. Did some pvp just for xp reward but soon loved it and kept queuing. Handy for leveling crew skills as well as you just send off companion while you pvp.

Has anyone bought a retail copy and then been able to play, or will it not work until the 20th?

MikeyJoyce

It wont work until the 20th you can input your code online now but you need Early access to play before tuesday

Turns out none of my machines want to play the game too well, so I've put in an order for a new machine that should be available early next week. Bit of a waste of an early access pass really, but I suppose I can spend more time working out what kind of classes I want to roll.

I did manage to log in last night briefly, but the game was dog slow. Basilisk Droid looked to have a heavy queue going, doesn't bode well for general release.

Every game like this had had queues at release i would worry about it they are releasing allot of new server today , hopefully that will ease the server queues more

Sure, I'm sure it will be fine. I won't be losing any sleep over it, I'd like to play on the same server as some Boardsies though.

I understand that man i crashed back to the queue last night three times took three hours to get in

Icyseanfitz

well if this game feels like kotor and has a decent narrative for the characters (ive heard its a different story for every character?) il have to buy it god knows how il get time to play it with skyrim mind, that game is literally sucking my life away

degrassinoel

each character class has its own specific story. They're all different

Bioware are legends for really good storytelling in their games. This is no exception.

Icyseanfitz

yeah ive been a fan of bioware since baulders gate, DA2 has shaken my faith in them though

Wonderful game. Currently on lvl 14, plowing through Coruscant at the minute. Love the Flashpoints and warzones, great fun.

I assume the game comes with a months free game time or so? I dont want to have to buy the game and a €25 game card at the same time!

Stev_o

Stupid question but I bought the boxed version in game today but i take it that I won't get early game access right?

If they gave you a pre-order code and you applied it then yes, you will get it tomorrow or Sunday

Yes the game comes with a month free game-time BUT you will need a 60 day game card or a credit card attached to your account for it to work, similar as RIFT(from what i've heard)

Quite a few of us are playing on Basilisk Droid so i'm going to suggest that there are players on imperial and republic from boards, in terms of classes i'm not too sure its up to yourself.

Most of us seem to be on Basilisk Droid. Depends on how you want to play, but there's a shortage on tanks and healers. Nearly everyone is going DPS as usual. Also, depends on whether you want to be a Jedi/Sith or not

Ah i see, sadly I just got the boxed copy no extra things, would it be (long shot) on the receipt?

V9

Ah and it begins... The queues... An hour before I get in

KINGPIN

Yah alot of irish on basilisk droid, its why i rolled there. I think its worth sticking with even with the server queues. They will go over time !

As for advice play whatever you want and have fun !

Im trying all classes up to around lvl 14 to get a feel for em before I progess futher.

Was playing huttball and my latency went from 35 to 150k but wasn't lagging on teamspeak, and then I got d/c :mad:
