While most of us Star Wars: the Old Republic fans were sitting at home watching the Imperial Agent (not Smuggler as pre coffee me wrote) progression video you see at the top of the page, a number of lucky fansite publishers were packing for a trip to Austin for Bioware’s second SWTOUR fansite tour.
Thanks to Darth Hater’s SWTOUR link roundup, I was able to live vicariously through these other bloggers, and gleaned a few interesting tidbits on PvP (which seems to have been the current content sharing focus):
- Guild versus Guild operations are limited to 24 players. But it seems that # may not be set in stone.
- In unbalanced open world PvP zones, such as 100v20, the smaller group will receive some sort of buff to assist them.
- Warzones are always 8v8, and pull from your own server, and you can not go in with a full premade team.
- Operations (raids) are expected to take about 3 hours.
The TORWARS team has a couple of videos from the fansite event, including this CE unboxing. It’s a good thing I can’t upgrade to a CE without losing my spot in the early access line… Enjoy!
Inquisitor's Roadhouse 
We cancelled our CE pre-orders because the charge for it kept bouncing on and off of the card which was really jacking with our budget. There’s some good stuff in there that I’d like to have, but we’ll have to see whether we go back to CE once we get closer to the date or if we go with a cheaper option instead.
I think that kills my chance of getting into the beta, but at this point we’ve only got just over a month before release anyway so it’s not like waiting is going to kill me.
Dec 20th will be here before we know it! Which reminds me I need to start planning my cookie baking…
Hahah.. exactly. December 20th will be here in a second! Looking forward to this. I guess I better get my bootcamp drive in order.
It’s going to be awesome to have a whole new world to explore, for sure!
mmm some nice info here too, especially if you’re trying to choose your class for pvp! http://www.swtorarena.com/page/story/_/swtor/choose-your-class-r19
