Don't believe there's a dedicated thread, and since they're starting to release information now, I figure it's time for one.

kaplin42 · 11-08-2011, 02:38 PM

As I was saying to Huff, it would be really cool if it would match adversaries in the pvp warfronts.

That would be an awesome feature to the game.

I'm hoping to add a Gunslinger to the Right 53. But I'm worried that I'm not going to be available enough to be a contributing member of a guild.... I've never really been part of a guild before though, so I'm not sure how that's looked upon. Is there a participation requirement or anything?

Depends on the guild, I'm sure. Ours is going to be uber casual.

You will be required to be my DPS biotch any time myself and my son require it and you are online and looking for something to do. Your job will be to shoot things, and the only rewards will exp, and phat lewts suitable for a gunslinger or an equal split of things no one really needs. I know it is strict, but you will just have to suck it up.

Yeah, I'd even go so far as to call it "half-assed"

Seriously, though, The Right Fifty Three was mainly created as just a place CPers to gather for launch. Help each other out in-game, ask questions in guild chat, discuss the game here when we can't play, etc, etc. As I was telling Kaplin, if it turns into a long-term guild, that would be great. But we're definitely not expecting any kind of commitment from any member. Stay as long as you like. If you play with us for a while and find another guild you'd like to join, go for it.

Anyone is welcome to join, CP member or not.

WHOO!!!

You Have Been Selected to Test STAR WARS: The Old Republic!

Barret · 11-08-2011, 09:56 PM

Well hell, I just got this in from Bioware.....

This is the phase you've been waiting for. We're ready to begin importing* your guild, The Right Fifty Three, into the game. Your guild must have at least four members who have pre-ordered the game and redeemed their pre-order codes at The Code Redemption Center before the end of the Pre-Launch Guild Program††. Check your guild's qualification status now.

But I don't have a "you have been selected" thing yet.

Yeah, I got that same email. It doesn't have anything to do with testing. We will probably be getting another email soon that tells us which server the guild will be on.

Is this PC only? Anyone have a link to spec requirements?

Gratz!, I've been tryin to get in forever, this will be the first MMO I've played that I didn't Beta first, but i think it will be nice going in blind.

Huffmeister · 11-09-2011, 09:32 AM

I'm pretty sure it's PC only. Here are the System Requirements from Wikipedia (the official site is down for maintenance):

System requirements:
Microsoft Windows

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000 or better / Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0 Ghz or better
Memory: At least 1.5 GB RAM for XP / 2 GB or better for Windows Vista/7
Graphics: ATI XT1800 or better / NVIDIA 7800 or better / Intel 4100 or better. 256 MB minimum video RAM, shader 3.0 or better fully compatible graphics card.
OS: Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7
DVD-ROM: 8x or better

And be sure to check out the forums for your testing group (squadron). In the days leading up to the test, I found a lot of useful information in there that really helped me hit the ground running when they finally opened up the servers.

But my squadron had testers from the previous test weekend (like Keg), so I'm not sure how much info there will be for yours.

Are you going to test it with your son? Or are you going to try and keep it a secret?

allen_kcCard · 11-09-2011, 10:29 AM

Yeah, I am going to let him watch and play some himself as well. Still keeping it a secret that he is getting it, but this is perfect because now I can talk to him about it more unitl Christmas.

Only bad thing is we have plans to go to my parents for the weekend, but I'll try to hang at my brothers (mom and dad don't have internet) and play from there on the laptop, which should give me a chance to see if my brother might take up the game as well. I might be my saving grace though...will be away from the wife and her finding excuses for me to not be playing, and will also have some build in breaks so I don't play for all 55 hours.
