Probably down to prepare the servers for the real launch tomorrow?
This is the reason.

Oh fuck me running, that's literally from when I get off work to when I usually go to bed. What a croc of shit.

Midnight launch of the game is tonight, this seems to be their prep for launch rush maintenance (perhaps small patch too)
Yup my whole time to play tonight is gone

They have to unless they want 5-6 hour server queues by the end of this week.

They should raise the server caps, the game is running really well even at max capacity with huge waits to get on those servers. They should be able to put more people on each server just fine.
Though assume they are just going to put up a bunch of new servers tonight as the "solution"
LOL what? Who on earth thought that would be a good idea?

Is there any place with a consolidated list of .ini tweaks?
I'm really confused by a lot of the graphics options, especially how turning textures to high makes distance objects look like shit and turning textures to low makes them look fine and close objects look like shit.

I am loving my IA so much more than my Trooper. Though if that's anything to do with not having to deal with queues, I do not know. Hmm.
Only thing is that way too often my Snipe ability will just cancel itself and then when I repress it say 'that ability is not ready yet' so I'm sat like a knacker for a second or two. Same problem with my heal though it happens less often.

What the fuck! I was gonna get my Legacy Name today! 9pm PST... I guess I could still make it happen.

Gotta prep for those midnight launch events on the east coast.

I didn't take it as jerky
As a crypto buff random stuff is always a misnomer anyway as true randomness is actually quite a challenge to achieve. Three days worth of play is still not enough of a sample set to make a determination one way or another, I'm sure over thousands of rolls it will even out to something more palatable.We saw a couple of staggeringly high numbers like that too, but as with that experience you describe it was definitely rare..

Ugh, got fucking locked out of my account. Shouldn't have been so impatient; I thought I was typing the most logical answer for one of the questions bu I guess not. They wouldn't ask you ones you didn't fill out, would they? How long does the account lock for, anyone know?

Da fuck kinda shit is taking down a server during prime time. If they wanted to do preparatory maintenance they should have done it during the slow hours.
So down today, and weekly maintenance is Tuesday?

Today? And here I was looking forward to getting home from work.
The next 2 are apparently very light on story stuff though
Well shit. :\

They are still good with some more story like presentation than most MMO dungeons, BT just had more interesting world story connections with the whole crumbling cold war and guest appearance by Grand Masters, etc.
I've done BT and Hammerfall Station - BT had way more story stuff. I would say it's a must. Hammerfall was fun but no real story content. I'd still recommend doing it because it is entertaining, but it's not that much different than a Heroic 4 quest in the regular world.
Also, it's weird to be talking to Dark Malgus as he briefs you on the flashpoint missions. He's the sinister silent badass in all the trailers, and then in the game he's downright chatty.

Got my first taste of douche this weekend, I was on Ord Mantell just killing Savrip's. Was in the middle of slaying the Savrip Champion when a group request comes in, I told them I would help them (I was 5 levels higher) right after I finished killing the Champion.
I kill the Champion hit accept, then the guy tells me "well it would have been nice if you had come while we were being attacked, goodbye" and throws me out of the group

He was pretty chatty in the novel he starred in too

You can go back through BT and if you make different choices, parts of the mission will play out differently.
He had a few lines in the Return cutscene, and isn't he the narrator for the Deceived cutscene?
take his name down. kill him in the outlaw's den or whatever it's called.
There are already 3 names on the Hixx List.
Too bad it's not the complete list.
Found two unreachable ones in Tatooine that is not in the list.
Promptly gave up on them and will get them later on.
Hmm, need to choose between Powetech Bounty Huntard and Sith Marauder I think, suggestions?
I know you don't want to hear it, but I really enjoyed my Enh. Shaman in WoW.
I think I more enjoyed the variety of abilities open to me rather than just the DWing part, I actually prefer big 2 handed weapons

Well, Sith Marauder is definitely in the Enh Shaman realm with the dual wielding etc with Force powers.

Found the solution, couldn't have Firefox running or the install would just not launch (wtf).
Thanks EA for changing my Battlefield 3 password to my SW:TOR password too.

Who's brilliant fucking idea was it to take the servers down during prime time?
I get that they want to have the launch go well, but is it a stretch for me to think that the people who would be picking up this game at launch are probably already playing it with early access?

Both classes have a nice variety of abilities available to them. Bounty Hunter doesn't use melee weapons; the melee combat for them is a lot of rocket punch, retractable blade, and point blank usage of ranged attacks. Marauder has Annihilation which is a bleed oriented tree (Short duration dot tree) and Carnage which is a more proc oriented melee tree including a windfury clone.
You can't really have the same tools that a shaman has, however. I will say that my favorite button to press is Q and it's only because that's what Force Charge is bound to (Bonus points for doing it out of midair) whereas BH's only get a charge if they're specced tank.

Some of you are already acting like meth addicts. It's the evening before launch... shit happens, they need to prepare.

Why don't you look at this from a rational perspective instead of your frothing from the mouth mindset? Should they postpone maintenance til after launch? Or perhaps you think the people who work there should work through the middle of the night just to please you?
I only got let in Friday evening. So I got to play this weekend, and I wanted to play tonight but not I can't, so yeah, this early access "bonus" has not been a terribly positive experience for me...not to mention the fact that I had to wait in queue for a few hours during the weekend on top of all that.
Yes, they absolutely should, at least tonight.
