From SWTOR Dev:
Don't uninstall the beta client. We intend to have it where you can patch to the early game access.

Quick question: so it's set in stone that there will NOT be a scripting language inside since the release, right?

[chaos5061]

If you mean like LUA for AddOns then no there will not be.

For anyone that would like to get the collector's edition of SWTOR but are worried about early access codes fear not. Most stores are no longer doing the pre-order on the CE but you can still get it via Best Buy. Now Best Buy has been having some issues with the codes they send you via email having already been used according to the SWTOR website when you try to redeem it. A simple phone call to 1-888-BEST-BUY and about 15-20 minutes (depending on wait time) will get you a new code that works. Trying to get a new code from Best Buy via email appears to take some time if you go by the comments on their site but a phone call gets it done very fast.

So now even the website has a queue.

Don't know about some of that stuff but I do like the look of the mouse so might consider that one.

[chaos5061]

It's a reskin of the Razer Naga Epic.

[cabby]

Looks to me like the ergonomic design is different from the epic. And I like the smaller mouse wheel.

Someone at Razer's design team is on serious crack with that keyboard. Put a giant touchpad, and a multi-touch no less, directly under the dynamic hotkeys so you can constantly hit your palm on it.

[chaos5061]

I'll doubt I'll ever use it as a touchpad when I get one. I'll use it as screen for info most likely which it can also do. Probably be fall of next year before I get it though.

I didn't even know this was happening:
You’ll be able to begin testing Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ very soon! Your test begins:
Friday, December 2 at 1:00 PM CST
I've been very busy and didn't even know this was coming. I won't be able to play until after work but I did get the 14 and the 15 off for early access.

I'll also tonight be posting the patch notes so look for that.
Couple of things I can say now though. AA is gone from the options. And the game for most people on lower ends says it runs up to 10FPS faster.

From SWTOR Dev:
Your invite for this weekend will not show up on swtor.com/tester - if you don't get an email, you are not invited. Sorry.

[chaos5061]

From SWTOR Dev:
Yes, all the #SWTOR tester emails for this weekend have been deployed. It was a considerably smaller group than last weekend.

[chaos5061]

So just in case you didn't get the email and were supposed to maybe you should try logging in.
