I'll double check now, tried the launcher and nothing.
Edit: Just as I typed this i got my email, thank god!!!!
Except that people are waiting on their invites, anxious when it will appear. Some might stay up late, others might wake up early. I know when I've preordered, but I don't know if I can play tonight, tomorrow or on a friday. It makes scheduling stuff around having a free night incredibly awkward.
They know what their waves are going to be, no-way is this not planned. Why not share the information with the people anxious to play?

Where the heck are all my Sith GAF brothers at? So lonely on Keller's Void.
Tons of servers are already full though.

They seem to be doing that, but slowly to see how the servers fill up. If they reach capacity already they are going to have to stop and deploy more servers as it's going to get worse

See! Congrats, lol.
Hit level 13 after running Black Talon twice. Taking a small break as I've been playing since 6AM. Having a good time, grouped up with another Gaffer (Smith in game) the whole time and racked up social points, etc.
Imperial Fleet never had more than 12 people, Dromund (sp?) only had like 10, Hutta was getting crowded as I logged off though I hear (only 1 instance of each). Can't wait to get more gaffers in and start running flashpoints.

Get in line, I've been waiting since it's announcement
Wither I'll still be playing SWTOR or Rift (the other P2P MMO I've played and enjoyed) when GW2 is out is still to be determined though

Yes, keep putting in more and more folks until it breaks!
what are social points for?

Thats kind of the point of these staggered wave releases of early access. They get to see how heavy the demand is. If they have to they will surely be putting up more servers.
When you group with people, you get social points. They are basically a form of currency and you can use it to buy unique things.
Sith Assassin has a positional ability (Maul) and a stealth opener (Spike). From personal opinion they seem to have one of the least interesting rotations in the game but they still do great damage. Since the other assassin tree is a tank they are innately a bit sturdier than a rogue would be as well.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
"Full" is a pretty fluid metric. I wouldn't be surprised if they are keeping the "Full" threshold relatively low today (and throughout the early access phase) to try and get people to spread out across servers before the 20th when servers will get really, 3-hour queue time full.
nope. 4 waves a day
Like I said if you up your system ram (which is super cheap now for your model) you should be ok to play. You should be able to set the settings to low-medium and turn off shadows and bloom
Of January.
You're right. They should just cancel everyone else and stop sales of the game, be happy with what they have so there's no risk of things breaking. They have to do it sooner or later, and I'm sure they designed their farms to handle far more than the known EGA amounts anyways. Keep trickling them in and adjusting of the fly.
I don't think their servers are actually "full". They're just capping it to spread people who didn't guild-deploy to other servers more evenly. If servers were true, and they screwed over the guilds, well they're going to take flak.
I logged in this morning for a short while. Make sure to say something in guild chat as the guild info does not always correctly display how many people are actually on.
Im thinking about rerolling and using my GAF name since I'm in no way RPing this.
They didn't slow down leveling at all from beta? You still hit that wall at around 20ish I guess then?
On a side note, Origin's authentication servers took a shit. Can't play BF3. Wonderful.
Yes, sooner or later... as in, before the game officially launches in a week. If you guys wanted in, you should have preordered earlier imo. Preordering was free and has no risk!

Woot, I'm in (AgentG, a license to kill)! But how do I enable more AA?

Legacy system lets you have a serverwide last name. Opens up after Act 1.
You get a family name at around level 32 I think, so keep that in mind before you make some crazy name

They have maul which is one of their bread and butter moves. You have to be behind the enemy to do it.
Whatever you do, don't go marauder, it's going to be a class that ends up being overlooked for raids. It has 3 DPS trees and brings absolutely nothing to the table that can't be brought by another class

Cool thanks guys, that sounds alright

Operative is a lot more like a wow rogue than a assassin imo, sure assassin has some things but operative have more things that benefit coming out of stealth,
Every MMO has some of those classes and usually it's fine.

Yeah Operatives are definitely more rogue like than Assasins.
Not really, as an example. Wo...that other MMO, rogues in their initial state brought nothing other than DPS and threat dump. Difference being that other MMO's rogues DPS pretty much shitted on other melee classes and they could threat dump which made them very viable.
Marauders so far...their DPS isn't any better than most other classes in TOR. Why bring a Marauder when I can bring an Assassin who can also tank in case we need them to?
Meh, your Warrior/Jugg tank will keep sunders up anyway. =P
I forgot they got that ability. I guess Marauders are like enhance shamans circa BC.....you only need one for the buff :lol:

Ask us in four weeks time. Launch day isn't exactly the right day to draw any conclusions yet.
Sleep Dart and Hidden Strike. That's the list of abilities that can only be used from stealth or benefit from being in stealth. Assassins have Mind trap and Spike. They're identical abilities (Sleep Dart/Mind Trap and Hidden Strike/Spike). They're functionally identical as to what they do from stealth, and it's not very much.
Operatives are only more rogue like in theme than Assassins. They're identically roguelike in the way that they play; if anything the assassin has more tools for actually killing people than the Operative does.
Thing is I don't think there's a debuff... the more you can stack them, the better. Each one is going to add more rDPS than probably any other class in the game because of that.
Marauder is the trap class. Looks cool in game, destined to be the least wanted.

Is there any way to increase the Interface size? Playing on my HTPC and I wouldn't mind it if things were slightly bigger.
DPS slots are going to need to be filled, and it's impossible to guess the state of the endgame this early especially considering that they can be patched. Playstyle will always trump viability unless you're a minmax nerd.
If I ever play this game, though, I'll look forward to all the whining about how a 'pure' dps class should outdamage the 'hybrids'.
