Be My SWTOR Valentine

14 Tuesday Feb 2012

ALthough you can’t send your SWTOR sweetheart a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers as a declaration of your love on Valentine’s Day, there are a few easy-to-procure items that still say “Be Mine”:

  • A shiny new speeder. So they’ll think of you as they zip along the planetary byways.
  • A pretty new moddable gear set. If you can’t make these items yourself, head to your local GTN station, search for your beloved’s armor proficiency, with the search parameters of 1 to whatever level your sweetheart is currently at, then sort by the left column, rarity. This will pop up all the empty moddable gear for your browsing enjoyment. Be sure to preview what the clothes will look like by choosing Control+click.
  • Courting Gifts. Sure, they won’t be able to use them if they aren’t actively pursuing the affections of a companion, but it’s a charming gesture nonetheless.

If you are more the experiential gift giver type, consider the following:

  • Take them on a trek to one of your favorite scenic in game spots and whisper sweet nothings in their ear.
  • Give them an IOU for doing their dailies for a week.
  • Make a pledge to do an hour of PvP with them each week until they get the one item they really need (*cough* purple lightsaber*cough*) from the PvP goodie bag.

Happy Valentines Day!

Guess What? We’re ALL Newbs in SWTOR!

The other day, a guildie shared in gchat that his Flashpoint had just fallen apart, after a wipe, with the departing members calling him a newb and dropping group.

I have to tell you, this provoked an actual laugh out loud IRL moment for me.

“ZOMG you SUCK Newb! Peace out!” …says one 3 or 4 week old character to the other.

Really? Really???

Oh, I know, some folks are such old pros because they were in BETA since wave 1 of BETA. And all us new players are such bads. Because we only started during early game access. Or worse yet, at launch. What a bunch of newbs!

GET OVER YOURSELF, NERD!

BETA is not live game. Live game is the real deal with the final talents and the final class tweaks and a whole slew of new folks playing the game for the fun of it. Some of these folks were World of Warcraft players. Some play(ed) other MMOs. But many are just huge Star Wars fans stepping into their first MMORPG and learning the ropes.

But the fact remains, mister elitist player, we’re ALL newbs, including you because it is a new game! So get over yourself. Wipes will happen as folks learn content that is new to them. It will be some time before everyone is over geared and PUGS are able to faceroll content.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the newness of the game.

True, not all of these *are* possible, but who said desires are rational? Leave a comment to let me know what race/class combo you are hoping to play.

Don't Let the Adventure End

I was *sooo excited* to see email in my mailbox from the Old Republic Community mailbox…alas, it was not the much hoped for BETA invite. Instead, it was the above email, encouraging me, as a former BETA tester, to preorder SWTOR. Except, of course that I’ve never been granted the opportunity to BETA test.

And then I saw another email from the SWTOR gang…maybe this time it was an invite?

SWTOR BETA testers post-testing survey email

Oh, no, not an invite. Just a request to take a post-BETA completion survey.

*sniffle*

Ah well, maybe next time!

UPDATE: From the outcry on twitter tonight, I think a ton of folks got the email…like every gamer I follow it seems 🙂 The community managers are looking into it and have promised to report back soon.

9:40 p.m. UPDATE: Still no official word on what caused the email malfunction. Interesting to see how many folks jumped to 1) crazy speculation and accusations or 2) hurled profanity-laced emails and forum posts at Bioware. Yes, it sucks that we got our hopes up for a second, but seriously– it’s not the end of the world!

9:48 p.m. UPDATE: Official response up on the community forums now:

Earlier today, two e-mails were sent to members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic community. These e-mails were sent to a larger group than intended, and have caused some confusion in the community. We can confirm that these e-mails were from EA and BioWare and apologize for any confusion they have caused. Please note that receiving these e-mails does not affect your chances to be invited to test the game. Thank you all for your understanding!
