Just got invited into beta. So you might wanna check your email ppl.

hate you.

You might get invited too, doesn't start until friday.

This game isn't getting the attention it deserves among Malaysian gamers. For shame.

I can't wait until TSB or some other retailer stocks up on this.

Too bad need to P2P ... how much per month ? RM ?

That's because a lot of people have been put off by the fact that Asia, Oceanic and half of Europe have been excluded from launch. We don't even know when we will get to play the game. Maybe couple months after, maybe even half a year later. And when we are finally included, by then most people would have moved on to other things.

Did you put your country as US? Because I read only launch countries are getting invites.

I remember having to use some random US address when I first played WoW. Is the SWTOR situation similar to that or is it worse? Eg. no matter what, we cannot play the game and get IP-blocked a la Nexon?

If it's the latter then it's a damn shame. They'll lose a lot of subs to GW2 when it comes out eventually.

Yea i did put US in my profile. I've read that some people in Australia have beta tested it so i don't think IP-blocking in full effect and i remember reading that they're not planning to as well. Unless those players used proxy to connect. I suppose we'll see what happens in couple days.

It's a real damn shame to be honest, if you go to their forum, there is already an elitist attitude among the players. People are saying we're not the targeted audience and have no right to beta or say in anything. Never thought i'd see the day where gamers are being openly discriminated on the basis of their country of origin.

it's Star Wars, the vocal minority will always be bad. In fact some of those calling for only US and EU betas are the very ones who don't have an invite yet. They feel that somehow adding extra countries and regions will affect their chances of getting in.

Yeah i guess so. Feels a bit strange to be afraid to tell ppl where i'm from initially, but after a bit of gameplay and knowing people, no one really cares about your location. And i noticed that the general forum is a false representation of the swotor community. Those general forum fans are really fanbois, where as in beta they're more grounded and not exactly fanatical about the game. Overall, i'm quite pleased with the beta and as far as an online rpg goes, the game has what i look for. Not sure whether or not to preorder it since i'll have to play on a US time server and there still no news whether or not i can server transfer later on.

Edit: Just a heads up, there's another batch of invites going around for the next upcoming beta test mainly for oceanic/asia testers. Check your invites because they can and will expire if you don't accept the invitation.

What logic is this

haha that sounds overly complicated but i suppose it works by you needing to activate it after every 3 strikes.

activate (assuming no gcd)
0s - first strike - 117 damage
1.5s - second strike - 234 damage
3s - third strike - 351 damage
4.5s - Activate Deadly saber (assuming no gcd)
5s - refresh first strike
etc

What I meant is

Since when Lightsabers make people bleed

Ah ok. Doesn't bother me that much. We;re not supposed to take everything too literally as if it's all 'realistic'. I mean a lightsaber in theory should be able to one shot someone whenever it hits the mark, but this is not practical in games where you need to maintain a certain longetivity and variety in gameplay.

Can we even buy and play this game despite being excluded from the launch region?

AFAIK They won't ip block non-us players, but you'll have to import the game itself from the US i.e amazon or something, and they won't guarantee that the ping times would be manageable for overseas players.
