Probably a dumb question, but if we have already downloaded the game client to take part in the last beta cycle, do I need to download the game client again?

12/8/2011 7:03:51 PM

Probably depends on the extent of the update, but yes most likely.

12/8/2011 7:10:40 PM

the email i received at the end of beta stated you are 1) required to uninstall the beta client and 2) you will probably have to anyway

[Edited on December 8, 2011 at 7:14 PM. Reason : but they probably only require it cause they don't want a private server up]

12/8/2011 7:14:16 PM

i tried to use the beta client from the last november beta and update it but it didn't work. redownloaded it already though

12/8/2011 9:42:19 PM

Best bet is to uninstall and re-download. I've heard that if you were in beta for just last weekend that all you'd need is to run the startup for a patch. However, I know a couple people that had problems with that, so better to just redownload.

12/9/2011 7:57:48 AM

just waiting to see what days my early access starts then make some characters to get some names reserved

12/9/2011 8:55:19 AM

If your game folder is more than I think 18gig or something you should uninstall, mine was at 60 so lots of useless crap in there that isn't used.

12/9/2011 9:45:09 AM

i think it told me the install was 20gigs the other night

12/9/2011 10:00:06 AM

So early access will start rolling out on the 13th and when you get in depends on when you pre-ordered. I wish they would give more details, specifically what day you'll get access.

12/9/2011 1:08:55 PM

eh, my thought was this:

Pre-orders started in July, so it might roll out by the date pre-ordered

July- Tuesday
August - Wednesday
Sept - Thurs

and so on...so that way at least everyone will get some of the weekend to play. But that's just an assumption.

12/9/2011 1:41:48 PM

yeah, i would assume they want to push as many people through the starting area as they can

12/9/2011 1:56:05 PM

I was under the assumption that every who pre-ordered would start 5 days early. Looks like I'll only get a day or so since I waited so long. Lame.

12/9/2011 2:03:28 PM

should be just enough time that the entirety of people who preorder won't be stuck in the newbie area at least.

that's helpful of them

i just waiting to see what email i get for a date

The site says that if you participated in the most recent beta weekend you just need to run that launcher otherwise uninstall and reload. Ordered this the first day it was available. I was skeptical but I'm really looking forward to the game. Is this previously mentioned BSG guild being formed? I have a solid troll name.

12/9/2011 3:56:34 PM

I'm on server "Darth Bandon".

12/12/2011 8:36:57 PM

For you care bears out there: my guild, Enigma, is on Mind Trick (PVE-EST Empire side).

12/12/2011 8:40:06 PM

For you non-carebears, my guild Anomaly is on Prophecy of the Five (PVP). We're an old raiding guild in WoW that's going empire and we plan to raid.

I'm an officer and will bring in any of ya.

12/12/2011 9:55:34 PM

I will be on Black Vulkars with a group of 7-8

12/12/2011 9:57:07 PM

I preordered the CE on July 24th and I have no info on access. When does this shit open up

12/13/2011 1:35:47 AM

yeah i preordered in august and still no info...

12/13/2011 3:24:15 AM

Have you guys tried crying? I didn't preorder and I have info

I'm krallum and I approved this message

12/13/2011 3:31:01 AM

12/13/2011 4:10:35 AM

"info" as in an invitation or just a guild server name?

12/13/2011 8:32:51 AM

dont fuck with me itt Krallum

12/13/2011 10:11:59 AM

Received my email for early access. Longest workday EVER!

12/13/2011 12:08:36 PM

im pretty sure i activated my preorder codes like on July 24th for the CE. Not sure when I'll get access but hopefully relatively soon.

Haven't really followed the game much in the past 4-5 months, but am looking forward to playing

12/13/2011 12:59:22 PM

july 24th

12/13/2011 7:59:31 PM

apparently you can que up for warzone and get crazy exp/commendations because there arent enough people in the warzone so it just ends but you get the full amount of rewards (exp, commendations, etc). reports of level 30's and 40's already.

12/13/2011 10:12:49 PM

lol

That's a pretty big fuck up. Hope they roll that back.

12/13/2011 11:14:35 PM

According to the community manager the reports of level 30+ people is greatly exaggerated.

Quote :

"Hey all - while we have no definitive update on this yet (that'll come tomorrow, I hope, after our investigation concludes) I did want to point out one important thing. There have been some suggestions of characters running around on servers in the 30-40 range today. We have the metrics here, and the highest level character as of 30 minutes ago is considerably lower level than that. Again, we take this seriously, and we're looking to see if this is an exploit that we need to rectify - but don't let rumor and speculation run too rampant."

12/14/2011 7:29:22 PM

Probably none. Maybe same day.

12/14/2011 8:55:11 PM

anyone have information regarding pvp queue times? is empire in for a long wait?

12/15/2011 12:42:19 PM

I'm loving this. Everything feels very fresh. Wow hasn't given me this kind of excitement in years. I'm hoping it lasts.

The reddit.com guild has been super active, if anyone wants to circlejerk with a bunch of internet nerds.

12/15/2011 2:16:59 PM

Just got my invite!

I ordered mid Nov. That was quick.

[Edited on December 15, 2011 at 2:21 PM. Reason : ]

12/15/2011 2:20:57 PM

it'll feel fresh until the expansion comes out and they dumb it down and make it easier (as with cases in the past)

12/15/2011 2:21:26 PM

I tinkered around a bit this morning. Got my character made and such. I didn't have a lot of time before I had to make my lunch and head to work.

Having to roll a jedi counselor on a care bear server for progression but will be a bounty hunter for pvp.

12/15/2011 3:01:45 PM

just got my email and i preordered november 30th

guess they'll have almost everyone in before the weekend

12/15/2011 3:39:01 PM

they got preorders through 12/8 covered i think now

12/15/2011 4:25:24 PM

Lovin the game so far. Just hit 20 on my powertech.

Roll on server "Prophecy of the Five" and send a tell to Brontu and I'll get ya a guild invite. We've got the two highest level people on the server (Empire side) at 35 and 34.

12/15/2011 6:00:23 PM

yeah I got my early access, very happy with the game so far

12/15/2011 6:27:47 PM

OH SHIT SONS

IT'S ON

12/15/2011 7:16:21 PM

man 400 person queues to log onto the server kind of suck

12/15/2011 9:08:23 PM

I'm on Lost Station or something with a pvp guild, pretty big one. Only 14 so far but I'm loving it - Sorcerer. Nash I may have to roll a BH or something over there if you guys are focusing on PvE.
