Am I missing an option to alter that? I noticed it was doing windowed fullscreen like WoW but I can't seem to get it to traditional fullscreen.
EDIT: Ooops I was wrong. Here are the correct instructions.

To turn off windowed fullscreen in favor of regular fullscreen:

Preferences -> Graphics -> Uncheck "Full Screen Exlusive Mode"

How are you guys liking your WoW clone?

So how much of the game is just like WoW, seems the same just a different skin and nice graphics.
Thanks for adding so much to the discussion, gentlemen. Your opinions have revolutionized the internet.

Should we rename the FPS genre to "DOOM clones"? No, that would be stupid.

Taking a break for now. I'm a level 10 Powertech tank and I'm ready to do the Black Talon.

Naw, today's standards are COD clones. That's all us FPS gamers play is COD.

My friend and I both tested the game for the first time last night and spent a good few hours playing. We made it to lvl 9 and got our Sabers. My friend and I both agree that this is a very solid game, the Story telling is top notch and the quests are fun to do. Very immersive world when everything is fully voiced.
I'm very glad I pre-ordered this game and I can't wait until the full release. I'm wondering if there is a Gaf guild that will be playing on a pvp server in NA, Light or Dark doesnt matter.

Holy fuck! I got a beta invite this morning, been waiting for this game for years. Unfortunately, my main comp died earlier this year and I'm stuck on a piece of shit laptop, so I can't try this game out. :[

Mayhaps I need to borrow my room mates computer.
 
I know it's a beta and all, but holy shit, what is up with all the bugs that won't let you complete quests? That seems like a pretty important thing that needs to work.

That's what you're there for. To report the bugs to get it fixed :D

Umm what lvl are you and where are you reffering to? I played to lvl 10 and not once came across a bug where I was not able to complete a quest.

Luckily for me i havent encountered any game breaking bugs. Game is Fuck awesome. It froze on me once when i ALT-Tabbed out. Thats pretty much it. Other than that a few times the timer that comes up during a convo gets messed up, but doesnt really screw up any of the choices. WoW is such a joke in comparison to this game right now. Too bad its a month away. Attempting to play WoW for this remaining month will be hard but at least my sub end around when this starts.

Tried PVP.. it was fun.. but i was level 10 and there were some level 25 dudes running around. Not too much of a level playing field there but eh, dont care. Had fun regardless.

Just finished the first flashpoint. Having so much fun with this game. The voice acting actually helps me get into the story A LOT more than just clicking accept quest. Loving that part.

I just had finished the first one before i posted as well. Yea the voiceacting is superb. Makes sooo much of a difference. Plus the options you even have with those choices especially in the flashpoints... this seems directed more to a bit older crowd.
 
this game is great, definitely going to keep my CE preorder. I have one issue though. the UI and text is too small, even on my 42"lcd. Is there anyway to scale the UI or at least increase the text size?
 
Bah, I log off for a while to make some food and now all the servers are packed again, sigh guessing tonight will be riddled with queues again

Yeah I haven't been able to get back in the game at all today without queues. Installing Skyrim now. I have seen enough of this game to make me want to pre-order it.

Ditto on loving the game but also about the UI,I`m playing on a 55 inch screen and it`s readable but damn I whish I could make it bigger...like you can choose the font size for the chat window or something...
 
Queue wait last night was horrible, but since I made my character I've been able to get in without a wait.

Level 10 and just became a scoundrel. So much fun...
 

Windu

never heard about the cat, apparently
i logged in, queued up and created a new character, watched the videos etc.. and then got stuck on a loading screen, so i quit the game and now my play icon is greyed out. boooo

Well I'm a 13 Marauder right now.

I want to love the game. Star Wars is certainly helping there. I just haven't been wowed yet. Someone told me it gets better later, so we'll see. I might drop this guy and try BH sometime soon. Or play this guy until the end of the beta Sunday night and do something else next weekend.

Play is greyed out because of some 'short' maintenance.

restart the login thingy. Just got in, and no queues! Only a couple of the servers looked like had people on them anyway. So if you hurry, you might not have to wait.
 
I must say, I am extremely impressed with what we're getting access to. This is downright incredible.

On the flipside, if this doesn't pan out and ends up getting crushed by World of Warcraft like everything else has, I'm going to feel really bad for the people at Bioware. It's obvious an unbelievable amount of money, work, and time went into all this stuff.

It doesn't really need to compete or be crushed, it just has to get itself a player base that is willing to pay for it for a long term investment to make it work out. It will never compete with a game the size of WoW in terns of numbers, but it can succeed in it's own right like some other games have.

So am I the only one who hasn't had a single problem? No lag, No login problems and its very smooth playing this.
I've only had super minor bugs in this build. That includes the time I was playing before this weekend.
