Got an email just a moment ago, another beta weekend:

You?ll be able to begin testing Star Wars?: The Old Republic? very soon! Your test begins:

Friday, December 2 at 1:00 PM CST

Same here. Like just. Did it elaborate 'weekend'? The email said 'final beta testing' and yes, the client from Turkey day weekend still patches up and appears ready to go.

The Turkey Day updater can be updated to final release. It's been said numerous times. I will also be in this "final" test, which makes me quite happy.

Yeah, just to log into your account details.

Hopefully I can get into this weekend's test but haven't received the email yet.

My beta weekend was smooth and I had no queueing experience thankfully.

Got the email as well, woot..... didn't expect that. Now I can play again.. somehow Skyrim is not appealing anymore after the beta weekend :(

Walmart canceled my preorder ( along with a host of other peoples, according to support its an actual cancel ) because I got only the error email have it also preordered on Newegg, so if you ordered from Walmart, would be a good idea to check the status of the order

Dear All who got to test this weekend gone,

I hate you! :D

That is all

I am looking forward to this, and actually quite glad I'm not testing because I just know I would play it too much and ruin it for release day

yeah thats why I was trying to play other classes than what I thought I wanted to play when the game comes out. Problem is, I ended up loving some of those other classes and now want to play them!!

ahh makes sense. Wonder what pre-order numbers are up to? Last I heard they were at like 800k

Last I heard it was unconfirmed at over the 1Mil mark, but that's unconfirmed! The thanksgiving weekend beta hit over 2Mil unique users

With the preorders and anticipation, I hope they don't screw it up As it might very well de-throne king kong

I'll echo Hell's sentiment, of all the ones that have come and gone since '04, this is the first one I've played that could give WoW a run for its base. Like WoW did with its predecessors, it has the sameness while also adding some nice refinements. Plus, light sabers still trump pandas.

I have a strange feeling this game will be played a lot in the first few weeks and then the number of players will steadily decline. The game offers very little outside of voice acting to set it apart from other MMO experiences and it even lags behind other more recent MMO's in its game play (RIFT, STO and many f2p MMO's even). This game will last only as long as it takes for the Star Wars skin to lose its luster.

I agree as well. It is going to be huge at first, then by the time everyone hits 50, thats it.

I'm really hoping the game continues to do well. It wouldn't take much to "upgrade"

the game later on with stuff like proper space combat, etc. Right now, the big draw

to me is Huttball. If they add more PvP "sports" combat like that, I'm in for freakin'

life.

I feel the same way as well.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
