I have normal BT ADSL so I download at 500kbps. That's roughly 16 hours lol.

My maths is shit but at 5mbps that's still 3.3 hours

Its less than 3.3 hours, I can download 16gig in 1 hour and abit at max possible speed, no idea how its calculated

 

[BloodOmen]

How much do you guys pay for that plus vat?

I pay £39 a month thats for phone + broadband/fibre off talktalk, been with them ages now ever since my 24mb adsl off them now have optical fibre off them and i've had no problems with them at all, they've not once throttled my download speed since I started with them and i'm a heavy downloader.





thats 6.6gig in 27 minutes and I can still get another 1200kb/s on top of that

Fuck my life Moving to London soon hopefully so will have to hope the new address has r0x0r speeds

i've just got the optical fibre recently was a nice upgrade I must say, I got 900kb/s max on my old line hopefully they'll start upping the optical fibre speeds soon, i dont care much for 100mb/s theres just no point in it, i'd be happy/probably stop at 10mb/s.

I live in the middle of nowhere, so anything I get relies on BT's lines and thus it is shite...

If im lucky i download at about 700kb/s but got to be extremely lucky for that. But even so that doesnt bother me as should get a few days to download anyways.... even if I do it on laptop and leave it on overnight before transfering it across to PC. As is I probably have to try play it on my laptop (arghhhh) because I be at the inlaws for xmas !"

Star Wars: The Old Republic - Beta Key
Between BioWare and You

BioWare
06:35 AM 2011-11-17 You've been invited to the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic Beta.

Your beta key is : ****-****-****-**** (I'm not telling you my beta key)

To be invited into the upcoming test you must redeem the code by 11:59pm on Friday, November 18th, 2011 at:
http://www.swtor.com/redeembetacode/

Once the test date is set you will receive an email from the SWTOR team with instructions on how to start participating in the beta.

Got the email saying i'm in but still not received my code :/

 

[Gumbo]

Hugey great patch (20Gb) coming down my line at the moment for the full testers. I guess there wasn't a lot of point letting the weekend testers download a large version that they would then have to patch anyway.

Patience my young Padawan, your time will come.

Got the email saying i'm in but still not received my code :/

Check your social.bioware.com account, i got my beta key there, not by email... >.<

 

[svartalf]

In case you don't know, Bioware is a company that seems to like giving people random bonuses for stuff. If you sign up for beta, there's a chance they might give you some fluff in-game. So even if you don't bother to download and play, I would recommend you reigister a beta code to your account.

The latest big update has polished the game really well, and also, they've lifted the NDA so expect loads of new videos and stuff to come.

 

[Aada]

Still waiting for my sodding key.

That actually gave me butterflies tbh which hasnt happend in a long time from an MMO. Looked quite good, I assume thats a dungeon or raid instance then?

Log in there and check your PM's.

Can almost guarantee that if you received the first email that you have been selected, the beta key is in the inbox there...

 

[BloodOmen]

Core i3 M370 with 3 Gig RAM

It's a bit clunky, but more than playable. Really enjoying it. Almost tempted to stop for a bit though as I'll cry when my character goes at the proper launch.

 

[BloodOmen]

wonder how it'll play on my current pc

3.4ghz quad core
8 gig ddr3 ram
ati 6850

i'd assume I can run it at full everything given the date of the engine.

 

[Sneakybollox]

Rule of One - recruiting for launch. Will be playing on a PvP server, expect to have 50 members for launch, mostly former DAoC players from Prydwen and Excal plus a few Warhammer players. Anyone interested should have a look at our SWTOR guild page...

http://www.swtor.com/guilds/237719/rule-one

Oh, we will be playing Sith, should mention that!

 

[Aada]

I'll be playing mostly on a M11x i7 4gig ram 335m NVIDIA so the card worries me most.

 

[BloodOmen]

Legacy system....

Hey Everyone,

This build has our first iteration of the Legacy System! At its core the Legacy system is about allowing players to create a family tree of characters. Family is pretty important to the Star Wars universe, with the Skywalker family having one of the most interesting dynamics in movie history. This version is just the foundational components that we will use to build upon in the future. Here are the features of this iteration:
Once your character has completed their Chapter 1 storyline, they will be able to choose a Legacy Last Name. This Legacy Last Name must be unique and is shared across all characters on that server - so choose carefully!
Once you have unlocked your Legacy, any and all characters on that server will now contribute to that player's Legacy Experience Points. Much like normal experience points, when you reach certain Legacy thresholds, you will increase your Legacy Level.

We already have plans for how we will expand the functionality of the Legacy System in one of our major post-ship patches. This will include being able to shape your Legacy's family tree, and give you a reward for all those Legacy Levels.

We look forward to reading your feedback on the Legacy System!

--James

Legacy system....

that actually sounds quite good.

 

[Sockstuff]

I wonder when they will start sending out the download links for the upcoming test. I think 30 gig will take me quite some time to download.

 

[Sockstuff]

HA! Just as I post this I get sent and email asking me to activate my testing account and download the client at www.swtor.com/tester

 

[Fafnir]

How much do you guys pay for that plus vat?

21:50 Euro a month for 100 mb/line, could get 1000 mb line but thats almost 90 euro, not really worth it...

 

[Starman]

If anyone is in this weekends session its now available for download.

 

[LordjOX]

Were people that applied for testing earlier supposed to get keys? I didn't go to any commercial sites to get a key, because the mail I got said:

As part of this test, we will be partnering with games industry sites to distribute additional beta codes as necessary. This will help ensure we meet our population goals, so we can effectively stress test our servers in preparation for launch. Please do not acquire and redeem one of these codes as it could jeopardize your ability to participate in this test.
