I'm glad you had fun playing the game. It was great to meet you (and all the other fans) at the booth. What you didn't say is that Daniel was the one who was being the baby-sitter while you played! We're just trying to build the best game that we can, and the ultimate experience for us is getting to see people play and enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to come and check out the game!

| JoanneLaroche: General Discussion -> Space Combat in The Old Republic Space Combat is an optional, alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat.

From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars™ space battles.
The Space Combat feature was originally announced during Comic-Con International and various details were revealed in the latest issues of PC Gamer (US) and PC Action (DE). Then during GamesCom, we released a short video showing space combat in action!

| SeanDahlberg: News and Announcements -> Space Combat in The Old Republic! First, thank you to all of you who participated in our Comic-Con Reveal mission! While we didn't quite make the numbers, we definitely saw how excited the community is about this and how everyone came together. After all of that, there's no way we could hold back with our special reveal at Comic-Con!
If you’ve been following the news coming out of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ panel at Comic-Con International, you’ve heard the announcement that we will indeed have Space Combat as part of the TOR experience! But what does that mean? Space combat is an alternative gameplay experience to the primary game of storytelling, questing, and ground-based combat. In space combat, you fly your personal ship to various “hot spots” on your galaxy map. From there, you will blast your way through asteroid fields, enemy fighters, frigates, destroyers, and a variety of other obstacles that will evoke memories of some of the great Star Wars™ space battles. To learn more, pick up the October 2010 edition of PC Gamer which hits newsstands starting August 17th for screenshots and an exclusive interview or check back with us in the weeks to come. Check out the cover of PC Gamer's October edition here: http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/07/23/st...led-in-pcg-us/ |

| SeanDahlberg: General Discussion -> Game Testing and You! [Game Testing Discussion Thread] First, we definitely share in everyone’s excitement. This is another step in preparing The Old Republic for launch and the team is just as eager for this as all of you!
Since there is a lot of questions and discussion about Game Testing, I thought it might be a good time to start a new thread. A few threads you may want to check out, though:
First thing, what we announced is “Game Testing". This is currently underway and will end near the release of the game and happen in a variety of stages. We will be inviting people to different stages and just because you get invited to one stage doesn’t mean you’ll be invited back to another one. Unlike testing that many of you may have participated in with other games, we aren’t looking for people to test “everything". Each of our tests are focused on a certain or a set of goals and areas. We want people to have clear direction on what we’d like help evaluating. The Game Testing Program is all about us validating the features and design of the game. If we find an area that people just aren’t enjoying as much as we’d like, it shows us that we need to adjust that feature. That is much easier to do when you have clear goals and ideas as to what we are looking for instead of just “the game". Another thing I see people inquiring about is what I mean when I keep calling things the “service". While the game is a big part of it, it isn’t everything. We look at the entire experience as the service; the website, the community, the game, etc. This holds as true now as it will once we're done with development and fully launched the entire service. Yes, testing is only in North America now. Currently the service is all supported here but it won’t always be here. Our entire community is very important to us. As you’ll note, with few exceptions, our updates go out simultaneously in English, French, and German. This is because we treat the community as one as much as possible. But we have some time till Spring 2011 (although it is getting closer every day!) and right now, we’re doing what is best for the service in the long-run. We could of just not announced what locales we’re testing in now but we felt it better to be upfront with our community. We also could of held back on testing altogether and not start until we can in all of the areas we’ll be launching the service but I think most of you will agree that we would lose valuable time and feedback if we did that. We’re not announcing just when yet, but we definitely plan on opening up phases of Game Testing to other countries before we launch (and not as a last minute “Open" test). A couple quick notes/answers:
This thread is now open for questions and discussion! UPDATE: Quote:

Being able to have the community help us test The Old Republic is very important and valuable to the development process.

| DamionSchubert: General Discussion -> XP gain in groups We increase the XP pool for each group member in it, and then divide that pool. I don't have the number in front of me, but its something we'll be tweaking as we play anyway.
The general gist is that we want to reward grouping, but not so much that grouping is the only way to play the game (something that is very easy to do if you tilt the table too much, and then balance the levelling curve to that rate gain). That being said, as some have mentioned, grouping with another person increases your killing efficiency and reduces your risk of death substantially, to the degree that being in a group of two is vastly more efficient than 2X killing efficiency (this is like most MMOs). Still, you want to reward grouping enough to help ensure that you overcome the friction associated with grouping (finding groupmates, getting to them, tolerating idiots, etc). Other notes:
Quote:
In our curve, we push that towards being closer to 2-3X. Still a significant advantage, but the grouper has to deal with all of the inertia of forming a group. |

| SeanDahlberg: Surveys and Polls -> What will you do? The situation on board the Black Talon has become critical. Citing self-preservation as his motive, the veteran captain has disobeyed a direct order to engage a Republic ship – an act of insubordination dangerously close to treason.
The clock is ticking down to an imminent attack by a Jedi boarding party. You are onboard as a representative of the Emperor. He will be very displeased if the Black Talon fails its mission and falls to the Republic. The time has come to prove yourself to your master. What will you do?

I would highly recommend that everyone familiarize themselves with this thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=27383 Constructive criticism and debate is definitely welcome here. Personal insults, harassment, and not conducting yourself in a mature manner will get your privileges removed from this community and the entire service. Sincerely, Sean |

| SeanDahlberg: General Discussion -> Welcome to the STAR WARS: The Old Republic Community! Fansite Articles and Announcements
Fansite articles and announcements should be posted in the Community Creations forum. If you run a fansite, you can also place a post about it in the Fansite List thread. Will it contribute to the discussion? Posts should actually add something of value to the discussion. If they do not, they may be removed. This will especially occur when this is used to "necro" or "bump" a thread. Public Discussion about Moderation Any threads or posts discussing moderation or actions taken against an account from the TOR Community Team will be removed from the forums. These discussions should be held with the moderation team and the individual poster. Any escalated disputes with moderation should be sent to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com. |

| SeanDahlberg: General Discussion -> Welcome to the STAR WARS: The Old Republic Community! From time to time, the Community Team must give a member an Infraction. This is a system that is designed to inform a member what they have done to violate the Rules of Conduct and assist them in not doing so again. Users will be notified of Infractions via the Private Messaging system.
For the first offense, a warning is usually given. While a warning does not add any Infraction Points, the warning itself will remain on your account until it expires. Members are rarely suspended for the first few offenses unless it was something overly derogatory or offensive. That said, the more Infraction Points a member accumulates, the more severe the consequences. Having too many Infraction Points can lead to an account being fully moderated (meaning members of the Community Team must approve each of their posts), suspended for a period of time, or even permanently banned. Most Infractions only accrue one (1) Infraction Point on their account that exists for thirty (30) days. If you receive more than one Infraction for that particular reason, they will be additive. For example, if you get an Infraction for "Spam" twice within a 30 day span, it will add 30 days to whatever was left from the original Infraction. That said, more severe Infractions add more points to your account and they take longer to expire. If you accrue too many points, you are placed into various levels of suspension. For example, if you accrue 5 or more points within a timeframe, you will be given a 24-hour cool off period. The more points you accrue after that, the longer the timeout and, ultimately, that account will be permanently banned if the user continues to violate the rules and guidelines of this community. If you wonder how many Infractions you have, you can view them on your account (click on your name at the top of the page) and look for the Infractions tab (you'll see About Me, Statistics, Friends, Infractions, Contact Info). If you don't see an Infractions tab, that means you don't have any! Ultimately, the system is in place to make members aware of conduct not appropriate for this community and our goal is to make a place where community members can discuss the various aspects of The Old Republic civilly without being insulted. |
