SWTOR Beta Ends Here’s Some Tips

Howdy folks, how’s it goin’? So as a complete surprise to me, my wife received an invitation to 1 more weekend beta test for SWTOR, I looked in my email and I hadn’t received anything yet. About 30 mins later I did. w00t!! We logged in and ran as Smugglers this time. We were in the previous 2 weekend tests too. We never ran as the same class before, it’s pretty fun, it makes it easier for some of the harder boss’s. Not that we got very many levels, only lvl 12 this time. We learned a few things though.

First off, ALWAYS TAKE ANY MISSION YOU CAN, you get a lot of XP and most of the starter quests are quick and easy. Don’t pass them up. You’ll be glad you did later on down the road…

Second, make sure you find the bind points so that you travel back anywhere you have bound. They were usually in cantinas and by the taxis. I can’t remember the name of the special to do it but the cooldown is 30min. That worked out well for us.

Third, make sure you click on the taxi droid to have the point stored. Using the taxis is the fastest way to travel at first and a necessity, so you need to learn it right away. They will show you where you can go from their point and the connecting routes for all of the other taxi droid points you have stored.

SWTOR is going to be fun but I’m gonna miss SWG, SWTOR is not a replacement. SWTOR looks good and I hope it does well. I haven’t got into the crafting side of it much and I’m interested to see some end game stuff too. I did try the warzone feature. It queued me up into a group of 8v8 with toon levels from 11 to 50, I was the 11 LOL. I did get a kill and I died few times too. It was fun. The warzone I was in was like a capture and hold map where there were 3 huge turrets shooting at ship in space. The object was to hold those turret points. Pretty fun stuff!!

Well I’m outta here for now, here’s a screenie of the final minutes in the last beta weekend, Dance party in Coruscant!!

Party at the palace

See ya later,
