I thought you could still download an installer from the website? I didn't think it was required.

Looks like they had no healer at all. Are flashpoints really that easy?

That one is and most players seem to get there at levels 11+ not 9 like he says ( well thats if you do all the quest before you leave your starter planet)

And its a nice flash point as well one I enjoyed .. but for the higher ones you definitely need a healer.

I'm still betting on a 2012 release, possibly a similar release time to STO.

Its going to be a 2011 release they have stated that to many times to change it, well unless they took note of the beta comments and doing some major changes, which I very much doubt.
 
Spoiler alert -





Confirmed in the latest (subscriber) issue, an interview with Gabe. August PC Gamer should be out on shelves within the next week.

Ill say it again.


SPOILERS

Discussing The Eternity Vault

'Gabe Amatengelo: Players drop onto the surface via pods to attempt to gain entry, first facing the automated defences, then giant droids before transitioning indoors.'

Gabe then describes the encounters by evoking memories of the original trilogy.

'There's a certain point where you've got to get your back up against the wall, while your group tries to solve a code to get a door open to progress futher. Its loosely inspired by the Battle of Endor scene where the rebels are trying to gain entry to the base.'

Later, players are asked to win duels while being watched by their teammates.

''At one point, you'll be facing the entourage of one of the uber-Force wielders [Bioware are keen to avoid saying who this is]. Everyone in the group has to pick one to fight. You have this Luke/Vader type moment where it's a one-on-one boss fight but everyone is in audience.''

Also in the article.

Confirmed, the items that dont drop for you (or dont appear in your loot bag) from boss kills can all be bought from the commendation vendor.

Confirmed (if not already) that to access new flashpoints you have to clear beginner ones.

Confirmed (if not already) there will be no pre raid armour grind. You will enter low-level raids in the armour you finished your storey in.

Confirmed (if not already) Loot bags can contain upgrades for weapons and armour.

Confirmed TORs landscapes have had a graphical overhaul. - Writer.

Welp, I brought the CE yesterday. Just waiting for the pre-order code now. Although realistically I'm only really waiting on GW2.. Might as well give SWTOR a spin whilst I'm waiting.. assuming that I'm still not tied up with GW1 and a couple other MMO's

It's going to be difficult to choose which game to invest the most time in, being a Guild Wars fan n'all but both look awesome.

Betacake was hosted on blogspot.com, they took betacake.blogspot.com down. Now Betacake will pay for a real host.

So yea, it has been taken down, but will come back on another host.
 
Tenuous link to the game, but can you gift SWTOR through Origin at all?

Reason I ask is that we're going to be running a competition to win a copy of the game, but wondered if it could be gifted.
 
E-mailed game for when the pre-order codes were going out if anyone doesn't know yet:
