SWTOR Beta Report: Black Friday Beta Weekend Madness!

 It's notorious Black Friday. If you can manage to get off the couch after all the food yesterday, it is shopping time. If you are registered for SWTOR Beta then chances are you have the opportunity to get into Beta on a Weekend Invite starting today!

 Some of you it will be your first time, others have been here on other weekends. Then there are the regular testers like myself who have been around for a while. Seeing how this went last time try to log on as quickly as you can today and stay logged in if you want to play during primetime. The servers are going to fill up fast and there will be a login queue to wait in. I seen the wait queue up to almost 6000 people on Darth Malak Server last beta weekend.

 If you are waiting to download game, or stuck in a wait queue take some time to read the beta forums to try to get some of you questions answered before you get in game. This cuts down on the questions asked in game. Trust me, every question will get asked 100 times over every hour. After a while people get ignorant. If you try to get your answers before hand not only will it save you time in game, it will keep the general chat less clogged and more free of repetitive questions.

 Starter Planets: They are going to be busy this weekend. There is going to be competition for quest items/creature spawns. Try to get in a group with other people. Most of the quests will share credit when one person loots. Eventually you are going to have at least a couple group quests (Heroic Quests) you will get these done easily while in a group.

 Note: If you are the same class as somebody you are grouped with. You have to do your class quests separate. You do not have to leave group. you will just appear in an different instance of the same quest as your groupmate. If you are grouped with a different class, they can go to your class quests and you can go to theirs. This is kind of cool as you can see bits of the other classes story.

 Thats about all i wanted to say about Beta Weekend. Get in game, enjoy the content. If you have any particular questions for me in game, you can find me in game on Darth Malak Server. Look for my Bounty Hunter named Chosen.

For the Empire!
