I tested over Thanksgiving weekend. Do I need to delete that client and preload on orgin where I preordered or can I just leave this install on my machine?

No, just keep your current client updated, you're ready to go.

 

[Alex]

Whatever.

Best mouse! It's just so good all around. I hate Razer designs (and build quality) and lots of Logitech's other mice have some problem with buttons or contours or some horrible sharp metal scroll wheel but this one is just right.

 

[sykoex]

Whatever.

I wish I could find a version of this where the scroll wheel tilted left and right.

Me too! I used to use some random Logitech a friend gave me and it has that feature.

That's the mouse I use, the scroll wheel tilts and it has just about the same design as the pic, but it's blue and wireless. At this point I'd prefer it to be wired, but it's not a big deal and it's been doing me find for a couple years now.

The G500 does that, but it's to use the left and right-clicking of the wheel as extra buttons.

 

[Spiritreaver]

So I was wtfing at you guys discussing the moving scroll wheel, and out of curiosity pushed my mouse's scroll wheel to the left, and it indeed clicked left and right and lets me scrolls horizontally... my mind is blown.

 

[commish]

It is. I won the Naga in a contest, and I don't really like it. I went back to my MX.

This is what I use, part or cordless desktop set, works pretty fine for me for MMOs.

Apparently, if you make changes to your profile, your security questions get borked and the system starts asking you security questions from other accounts.

Good show, Bioware.

 

[LowParry]

Ahhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

 

[Kintaro]

So far, I've spent a hour on hold waiting to speak to someone from Bioware....

 

[erragal]

Ahhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

Aesthetically those are beautiful. I really wish Razer would make larger versions of their products that I could actually use.

 

[mxgt]

Ahhhhhhh yeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

Best

 

[Moaradin]

Still the best mouse made by man.

 

[Kuno]

You're all wrong, here's the best MMO mouse:

Logitech MX-1000. 7 buttons including the tilt wheel.

It wouldn't work with SWTOR unless I ran Logitech's SetPoint software as Administrator, so that was kind of a pain to figure out. Worked great once that was set up though.

Anyone else following the preorder implosion over at official forums? Between europe getting the game before the US, the reneging of an early access grace period, and people unable to get their CE's flagged for release date delivery, there is quite the outrage building.

None of this surprises me at all. Sadly Bioware/EA have not handled this game well at all from a PR standpoint. These last few issues are just the proverbial straw.

Took me an hour and a half when I had to call them to fix my password problem. Make sure you keep them on the line when you go into your questions to edit out.

 

[Emitan]

So the European launch is officially moved up? So when does the |OT| go up?

The 13th. Day one.

Here is some nice history. This is what the game looked like in 2009

Got through to them and resolved the issue. Whew.

All systems are go.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Usually the things I worry about with MMO launches are login queues, logins not working, server crashes, lag, glitches. Not simple distribution fuck ups. I feel like we're going to have the smoothest post-launch scenario of any MMO I've played, but these pre-launch shenanigans are downright embarrassing.

 

[theta11]

I prefer the cooldown indicator in the video than the present one. lol

Am I the only one who thinks the overall UI looks better back then?

I called on Monday and they answered immediately.

But that was before the shit storm apparently.

that UI was terrible.

 

[Wallach]

It seems almost the same to me, except the addition of a lot of black space obscuring the bottom of the screen. The frames and size of all the other elements don't appear to have changed much.

Seriously. But there seems to be an unwritten rule that cooldown times need to be hard to spot or something.

Hm didn't notice the black space. Without them then I think it looks kinda more neat.

Also wtf at actually having your character face show up 2 years ago yet in the build I played in September/October that wasn't there.

Agreed, it looks awesome, and much easier on the eyes I think. I also found that special locked door amusing.

Your face shows up. This is a more recent video and it's the same area as the video from 2009 btw.

Yeah I already know they fixed it in a build AFTER the one I played.

God, I'm giddy.

I've read the OP and last couple of pages without result, sorry if this has been brought up:
I was selected for the weekend beta 21st of November. I had a lot of things to do so I couldn't play it, and didn't accept it. Now all links etc are dead. Is there any way for me to play this weekend?

There is no access until the 13th and that is going to be limited, beta is over.

Just saw it on the official forums, thanks for the response!

They still only say "Up to 5 days early access" on the official web page, though their forum post says 7. No biggie I guess.

MMORPG.com:
Will server names be released ahead of launch? The pre-launch guild registration system wasn't able to facilitate the RP-PvP crowd and I imagine this group of players would definitely appreciate being able to plan ahead of the chaos of launch day.

Dallas Dickinson:

Certainly we’re going to be announcing them during Early Access, but I think we’re going to announce them slightly before Early Access, so people will be able to have some dea of where they want to go. I can’t tell you the exact timing, as that was actually up for debate as of this morning, when we would fully announce at least the opening list of server names. We’re not going to announce all the server names; we’re probably going to only announce the ones we’ll be running during Early Access, and then we’ll announce more as we ramp them up.

Wtf does this mean for the guilds and whatnot? Aren't the supposed to be put on servers before EA?

Stephen Reid said they are planning on having all servers up that contain pre launch guilds and before Early Access we will get an email stating what server we have been assigned. I just wonder if they are going to email everyone or only the guild leader.

 

[theta11]

It means that all the preloaded guilds will be on the early access servers which makes sense because to preload a guild you needed to have 4 preorders on and they don't want to commit to a set number of servers when they don't really know how much they need at this present time.

I suppose that makes sense, kinda.

Comfort of MX518 + Precision and function of G9X = Alienware TactX

Superior in every way. Couple that with a SteelSeries SX pad and a Razer cord holder, you get super smooth tracking, and the benefits of a wired mouse without the hindrance of a wire.

Anyhoo... For those of you saying your CE already arrived; where did you order from? And umm.... PICS?!!! Please!

 

[Dunlop]

After you preload the game and try to login does it tell everyone they do not have an active subscription?

Seems to be the case, gotta wait till you get your early access email.

that's fine, I lost a crapload of time with a bad install on the last beta (even thought I had no issues for 2 beta's before it), just want to make sure whenever my date is I'm good to go

Is half a day going to kill you? Don't you have school or work or something along those lines that could kill the time? A girlfriend maybe?
