Post by: Tbone on June 09, 2011, 02:00:18 pm: Just saw an interview on G4:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEgUkviW4cs

At the very end he says they just invited 1000 external testers to play the game level 1-50. So there ya go - 1000/1.5 million chance!

Good news is that it sounds like you will be on my server, Tinzzak :)

They sent out an email to non-US residents a couple of weeks ago saying that European invites were starting soon.

I may have deleted it, but here's to hoping!
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tbone on June 10, 2011, 11:06:47 pm: The Furious Angels are officially in TOR! Guild system works pretty well!
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Saint on June 10, 2011, 11:10:38 pm: ah at first I thought you meant we all were in, then I realized you probably just meant you started an FA guild in game. :(
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: ArchNemesis on June 10, 2011, 11:11:53 pm: I didn't get an invite... Instead i got some scam email saying that i won 2.2 Million and that i should give them my bank info so i can transfer it to my account.

God damn Bioware.

lols.

Able to provide pics of the guild/raid interface? Or would that go too far with the nda?
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tinzzak on June 11, 2011, 11:37:26 am: If you're familiar with the WoW guild system, its pretty much like that... but looks way cooler. A lot of the 'bones' of the TOR system are a lot like wow... but they've fleshed it out in such a way its much better. Although i still hate running... WTB Mount!!!
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Fuse on June 11, 2011, 12:57:44 pm: WoW has a calendar system in it for group and raids, hence why i was asking. While it would be nice to have something outside game, keep in mind it would be dual management. Plus I would probably constantly forget to update the website system if I had already updated the in-game system.
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tbone on June 11, 2011, 02:24:18 pm: So far there is nothing that would suggest an in game calendar system.

And yes, screenshots of any kind would technically break the NDA :(
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Saint on June 11, 2011, 02:25:56 pm: Technically its already been broken by some.
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Fuse on June 11, 2011, 04:34:25 pm: Exactly... Your talking about it or "I'm have access to something I can not talk about thread"made it kind of obvious. Was just wondering how much you were comfortable with.
Title: Re: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tbone on June 11, 2011, 06:26:47 pm: You're allowed to say you're in beta. As far as I know, no one has posted screenshots or gone in depth about anything. If so, I'll remove it.
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Kidney on June 12, 2011, 06:37:54 pm: I received the email but am in Mexico until tomorrow night. I will be downloading the game as soon as I get home
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tbone on June 13, 2011, 07:00:14 pm: It's a seven hour download...just sayin!
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: XxUnforgivenxX on June 13, 2011, 09:30:24 pm: no invite here. Congrats too all who got one!
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Revalis on June 14, 2011, 09:58:49 am: According to the EA Webcast this morning, they are currently in a "Mid-scale Beta" with SW:TOR and plan on entering into a "High-scale Beta" at the end of June.

Post by: Adad on June 14, 2011, 12:47:13 pm: :) fingers crossed...
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Tbone on June 15, 2011, 10:25:46 pm: Another wave of "surveys" went out, which determine eligibility for testing:

Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Paitryn on June 16, 2011, 09:38:27 am: didnt get a survey email, but at least that doesnt mean I wont get an invite according to the post. seems to be a guarantee that they get key demographics in the game for testing.

maybe if I throw my Native American Heritage out there as a race card they may let me in.
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: DudeWithGun on June 16, 2011, 10:53:10 pm: Well I went through a few hundred emails and I've never missed an invite so that's a plus right!?
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Subb on June 18, 2011, 05:02:35 am: From Stephen Reid's Twitter:

'Invites will go out next week I believe, but they'll be staggered.' - 12 hours ago. Includes US, UK & EU.

BOOM!

Post by: Anamodiel on June 18, 2011, 08:19:17 am: Please God give me a Beta invite to Tbone's server.
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Broin on June 18, 2011, 02:44:02 pm: Please God let Anna get a key so I can steal it from him...
Title: Beta Wave!
Post by: Anamodiel on June 18, 2011, 05:48:06 pm: I'll share it with someone! I don't mind sharing. My current schedule has me going to bed by 11:30 or so to get a good night sleep most weeknights, and I can spend HOURS on weekends.
