Star Wars Sverige

Förhoppningsvis läcker det ut information liknande hur EA ska lägga upp sina releaser under detta finansår eller 2012 och att the old republic finns med i den infon..

Igår så svarade Stephen Reid, som är Senior Online manager, på frågor från medlemmar av swtor.com communityn rörande den första beta helgen och även hur långt utvecklingen har gått med spelet i fråga:

Quote:
Appreciate the response although no guarantees is not reassuring at all.

Answer:
Unfortunately, there are never any guarantees in MMO development - and even less of them in testing. We try as hard as we can, and that's about all we can do.


Quote:
Well thank you bioware for the info. I am very anxious to know what the new build entails, and if it was a planned or a suprise to you guys.

Answer:
New build was always planned. In fact one of the reasons we did the Testing Weekend on the 'old' build was so we could get feedback on server stability with a flood of new players on a build that was already tried and tested.


Quote:
Does the weekend beta being pushed back affect the Holiday 2011 launch window. This is the question a lot of people would like an answer to.

Answer
 - no, it does not. We're still aiming for a target window of Holiday 2011.


Quote:
Open your eyes and stop swallowing the company line. If they knew they had a new build about to drop the second week of September, why start beta weekends on the first week?

Answer:
Because we had specific aims for the this first Testing Weekend, and one of them was to use the 'old' build (which is the one with the most 'Testing mileage' on it) to stress test the Origin Worlds on a brand new server.


Quote:
It sounds to me like there may be some scalability issues with bringing in larger numbers of players. Even if the game is great, if no one can play it on account of database snafus then the launch will suffer short to midterm harm.

You're right, but we're actually doing fine there. The simple truth is, we changed something, it broke, we fixed it. Last week was actually the first time (to my knowledge) we had specific issues that prevented people who were invited from actually completing their invite.

While the invite process is obviously very important to us during Testing, what's more important is seeing a lot of players get into the game at once. In that regard, this weekend's test was fantastic for us.

The complete game was available this weekend.

What you call 'phasing' we call 'instancing'. What that means to us is, we create copies of planets when they become too full. Part of this weekend's test was to look at just that - to figure out when a planet does become 'too full' (it varies by planet, as they vary a bit in size), to see how players felt about instancing generally, and so on.

We expect instancing to happen, especially during launch when a lot of people are crammed onto the early planets. However we also expect over time as people begin to spread out over the galaxy, instancing will happen less.

An updated interface might be the only thing you were aware of that recently changed, but trust me, plenty more is getting changed. We're tweaking the game, adding small 'quality of life' features and plenty more.

The fact it went off well - Good sign

The fact they already rolled out a new build WHICH WAS PLANNED and not a response to problems - Good sign

The fact they don't have to continue beta testing weekends of the old build is awesome, it shows us things are coming together smoothly.

Pretty much ^.^ this.

De som kommer att spela Star Wars The Old Republic för chansen att klå upp andra spelare så bekräftades det under PAX att World PVP kommer att finnas med i spelet.

Highlights:

   * Many different neutral planets that players can fight over, with territory control.
    *There will be bases, turrets, and other objectives that players can control on these planets (Ilum is one example planet).
    *Can call in bombing runs on the enemy base once planetary defenses are down.
    *Valor (and other) rewards for players who participate. 'Mercenary' commendations can be earned via World PvP to purchase the best PvP gear.

Förhoppningsvis kommer mera info att ges under den närmsta tiden.

Just nu kör man ju med en Logitech G9 med lite vikter i för perfekt balans och två utbutbara skal dessutom 

Däremot har jag funderat på Cyborg R.A.T mössen, dom ser konstiga ut men man kan ställa in längd och bredd och allt möjligt på dom tydligen.

det finns 4 modeller från typ 500 spänn till 1100

Jag måste skaffa mig en sådan där höghatt alltså

Ny info blandad med gammal info helt enkelt

Idag gick SWTOR`s Creative Director James Ohlen ut med att Republic och Sith inte kommer kunna prata med varandra i spelet, varken genom inmailboxen eller chatten.

Tydligen testades detta under betan eftersom att tillskillnad från WOW så pratar ju båda fraktionerna samma språk, men de tog bort det eftersom att folk just säger saker till varandra när det gäller gankning och sådant.

Skulle väldigt gärna vilja vara en allti-i-allo så att man alltid kan hoppa in när det behövs men känner att det är nog bäst om man koncentrerar sig på att bli bäst på en klass så att man verkligen kan vara till hjälp och göra bra ifrån sig liksom.

Main tank känns som ett perfekt val iochmed att man är omtänksam som person och gärna offrar sig för sina kamrater, typ att om någon håller på att dö så hoppas man in och tar smällen, sen är det ju alltid kul att reta motståndaren så att de hoppar på en och vips har man sina dps kamrater där som gör livet surt för nämde FI
