Star Wars: The Old Republic

Not 100% sure what you mean by this, but having purchased a CD key from a US retail version of TOR doesn't mean you'll be able to see ocianic/aus servers when they're up.

Example - WoW EU, while being the exact same game, is not compatible with US/oceanic servers and visa versa.

Hi wowfag,

Please note in games that don't cater to 12yo using their mum's credit card simple things like being able to connect to any server in the world are quite common. You can already connect to all NA and EU servers with the same version. If there are (real) Oceanic servers at some stage they will appear in another server tab so you may have to perform one extra mouse click, I will admit this may preclude some users from joining an Oceanic or other regional server.

On the topic of the Oceanic Servers.

According to EA / Bioware, to coincide with the Australian release of SWTOR, they are looking at finalising a location for an australian based server?

Most like will be offering free transfers too..

That being said, I need to buy the damn game as I'm getting itchy, already downloaded the client and installed it.. can't buy a damn key from swtor.com itself..

apart from ebgames who are importing them in low numbers .. anyone recommend anyway just to purchase a key / game itself?

or anyone know where i can get my hands on a copy in melb?

You love it

But really, you can already hop around NA and EU servers, it's fine.

Well look at it this way: as Australians, we get absolutely ripped off on games. If a US copy can play on AU servers, why would we pay more for an AU copy? By disallowing it, they force us to pay more. Kinda makes sense.

There's no region locking on the game to begin with so it wouldn't make any sense.

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

What server is everyone on? Im on the full us one.

The Harbinger, republic side.

After going through all the bullshit installing and patching I'm finally on the jek jek tar server. Bit of a learning curve for a non wow player

[Trozzle]

Good luck, haha. Even coming from ~250 days played on wow, it was still a bit to get used to TOR. I'm now lvl39 and have shit under wraps.

Except for chat. That shit's retarded.

well fk, what chance do I have.... I played KOTOR but this entirely different. I can use 1-5 numbered ablities easily (ex-hon player) but any above that I have to click which I am reallllllllly slow at. On top of the I am not used to the whole click and drag to mouse look...in battle I usually end up looking at the sky or the groud ARGhhhhGHHGH!

Gotta learn the hard way I guess. From the couple of hours I have played it looks like a pretty wicked game.

Perhaps you need to invest in some rebinding of the standard hotkeys, using things like the function keys F1 - F5 or so, as well as ALT+[key] bindings. This is my current bar setup for a Jedi Sage:

Yeah rebinding the keys is pretty important when you have a wide variety of skills to use, like you do in the later levels.

This is mine, there is still a little bit of mouse clicking for some things, but not too much because i have all my important skills in 1-6 and ctrl+1 - ctrl+6

Also for the record, CTRL+SHIFT+F will show framerate, though it's a bit hard to read since it's half over your companion frame and really small lol

Though yeah you've got the idea consider the F-keys as well, it's really an extra 4 or so keys that are easily in reach

[sonnyQ]

I've got a logitech keyboard with 12 gkeys on the left, I was thinking about using those. I do hate taking my hand away from my precious wasd though.

In other news, this patching business is painful!

[Trozzle]

WASD is essential. I'm finding it not so necessary to have my fingers on them during a fight as a caster, but back in my WoW days playing a rogue it was PARAMOUNT to be mobile while fighting haha

sarcasm?

Anyone having trouble installing the patch? Mine keeps asking to repair and then failing...

[T4NK]

Yeh i have already quit TOR, got bored lvl 50 in the 1st week the game was put out the PVP is boring only so many times u can rape the repubes B4 it gets old, once they bring out new BG's and rated stuff for PVP ill start playing again, lvl 50 Mara on Wound in the force Genacidal is toons name.

Nah not sarcastic at all. If I didn't think being able to strafe/move quickly while fighting was essential, I'd rebind even more keys and reposition my hand somewhere I could use more abilities without clicking.

[-FIGJAM-]

so it was released here last night. Apparently there is a server based in Sydney.

Anyone know how to transfer your characters around?
