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?

cjs-cdkeys.com is where I got mine.

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.

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

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

:mellow: sarcasm?

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

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.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
