And regarding the testing weekends : Q: When do Beta Weekends start? A: Friday, September 2nd. (Source: PAX BioWare Panel) Q: EU as well? A: Not likely, but as said, large wave of invites going out soon (to Game Testing, not just a weekend). (Source: Stephen Reid via Twitter) Additional EU Testing information: Last but not least. We will be adding a large wave of European Game Testers very soon, with Testing Weekends starting later. Likelihood is yes, EU Testing Weekends on EU servers, but TBD. (Source: Stephen Reid, via Twitter). Q: How long is a weekend? A: FYI Testing weekends are just that, weekends, with time for download. (Source: Stephen Reid via Twitter) Q: Will 'regular' Game testing still be going on/new invites sent? A: There will be more 'normal' testing invites. (Source: Stephen Reid via Twitter) Q: Is this "Open Beta" or still random? A: Still random, need to be registered on the SWTOR site. (Source: PAX Bioware Panel.. I think)
EU beta tests proly wont start till 2 or 3 months after US get it, if not more. Ive seen alot US MMO developers mostly rely on the feedback of NA players these past years and suprisingly alot of em struggle to keep their game attractive for more than 6 or 12 months. Wonder why that is
Someone has leaked the beta test client onto a well known 'file share' site Someone give me Log in details so I can try it NOW!!!!
profanity filter applying to voice overs? really? next thing he wants is proly a profanity filter for vent....
you'd end up with not a 50 GB game folder but it'll be 80 GB because they have to add all the extra censored soundfiles too, lols.
