Has anyone received an email stating that they have been selected for a beta weekend test? I received one in the past but I didn't participate because I read the email after the test period ended. This time, I received the following email:

Greetings Anaron,

Your account has been selected to participate in an upcoming Star Wars?: The Old Republic? Beta Weekend Test. If you have previously tested or are currently participating in an ongoing test, you will be invited again. Additional details for this upcoming test will be announced soon.

I logged into my account and went to the tester page but I don't see anything other than "Squadron 367 | EXPIRED".

Anyway, this is the first invitation I received (in early-October):

I got another invite (already played through the first invite I got) and has the game balance changed much? Up to level 15 at least, the healer is the most powerful solo class, able to do pretty much everything solo, and the others started to really lose their edge in solo situations. Is that still the case? If so, its a shame the developers haven't done something about it......after playing through one beta, I just don't know if I can play through another.....it was just that bad IMHO.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GOT A NOTIFICATION, BUT NOT AN INVITE!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a huge stress test coming up, and that's what you'll be invited into.

The invites aren't out yet, obviously, but they're coming. So don't panic...

grab your towel and chill out, it's wasn't a mistake. :)

I'm a level 10 sith warrior now, been playing it since last night. I'm impressed with the game. Although I've died like 6 times already, I am finding it to be more fun than LOTRO. (and I'm a LOTR nerd, not a SW nerd)

I don't know if I'll have the time to keep up with this game though..

Still havent gotten an invite, been signed up over a year ago, preorder put in earlier this month.

Bit ohnwell, not really worried about getting in beta, wont be able to actually play at release either as walmart shipping sux.

Grats to those that got in, im planning on planing a Sith Assassin, or Jugernaught.

See you on the other side next year ( when i get the retail box )

If you were invited to this weekend, chances are you will be in the next weekend beta (which will be the final one).

Affirm this was confirmed by the Dev team. After this past weekends test I can't wait till the game is released.. My only problem now is, during beta weekend, I didn't want to play the class that I plan on playing on release (which is Sith Sorcerer) so I played a Bounty Hunter.. problem now is, after playing BH this weekend and getting him to level 18, I must say I am REALLY digging BH now.. So much so that now I can't decide which I wanna play at release. I have played Sith Inquisitor on my last beta weekend invite about a month ago, but I only got to level 10 and stopped..

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
