Yes....much better to lurk on the official boards and daydream about a game you can't do anything with..

Looks like next week is the big announcement about the release date. Q put up some neat pet animations that creature handlers can teach animals. Silly stuff!

Where has Ammon been? Didn't he say he would post stuff here for us to drool over?? I wonder if he ever comes on anymore..he used to post like, EVERY day!! Long time no see!!

Shrap,

I just realized there are 2 beta testers that occasionally post here, and we've had NO new reports for a while now. Either the game is REALLY immersive and they can't pull themselves away to post here, or.....well, that must be it.

Can't WAIT!

Hiya guys! Sorry for the delay but i've been camping up in the montana rocky mountains! Its really pretty up there, nice green undergrowth and tall trees, bubbling streams and high mountain peaks, ah its gorgeous fun. Ever since i quit smoking (6 months ago) cigarettes i have gotten my smelling ability back and have raised it by 50 points! eheh. point being: stuff smells nice in the wilderlands.

As for SWG, i am playing but waiting on the next patch to fix a few things that i think are important gameplay-wise. Appearantly new patches fix LOTS of errors but they also always present new problems that were not there before, so i am waiting for a patch that should be out [edit].

About the game. Its gonna be awesome. Right now its pretty damn good, but its not perfect. After release its going to be our true next addiction. I can hardly wait to play my main character FOR REAL instead of playing this character that is gonna be deleted within a few [edit]s. No i do not know the release date. And yes i have been able to experience the game mechanics. They are top-notch. Sorry for being so vague but i am under an NDA and i cant afford to get sued since i am on a fixed income. And yes this is the longest game comments section in rpgdot except for gothic maybe

anyway, "just hang in there for a few more seconds" (Star Wars, Death Star Run, Red-5 ? pilot) ... "just a few more seconds" ... "its away!" Ack! just a peckin on the surface. it didnt go in

Seriously though, my pc machine is top-notch and the games graphics are also top-notch. very nice stuff. welp i had a long trip and am tired, cyu guys later! (And i am sorry you didnt get in to beta guys; just hang on for a little while longer and we will all be meeting up on Intrepid soon enough!)

Welcome back Ammon~ glad you had a nice trip! I've been to the canadian rockies before, but never in Montana. Sounds like my kind of place

As for the game, glad you're still enjoying it. According to Q on the official boards, next week is going to be 'announcement' week. Several people, myself included, take that to mean the release date will be announced..here's hoping!

Keep us informed, keep up the hard work, and do us all proud in beta!

Glad you guys have someone in beta that paints such a rosey picture.But giving an opinion is breaking the NDA amon77.

I to am in beta and I will break the NDA a little too and say my picture is not as rosey.

Its gonna really be interesting when this game does go live.

Actually, there's another poster here that occasionally visits...unless you are he/he is you...

And, about the NDA, I think there are lots of sites out there with blatant violations, and they've not really been shut down. I've seen screen shots, read several beta tester's opinions, and even seen a site that detailed character skills, etc.

I don't think the tidbits of information we get here are blowing the NDA out of the water. Besides, the NDA is to keep the game from getting negative publicity...and that has not been the case here.

Saying the game is cool isnt breaking an NDA. Everyone is doing that, even on the dev forums, so get over it. I've been saying the game is a cool game for 2 years now, so why should i stop saying that now that i have actually played it and found out that i was correct?

ANYway, SWG is a cool game, and the developer who said that "its not everything to everybody" is also correct. You can make the most perfect game imaginable and there will still be people who dont like it and complain. Thats the result of God's desire for wonderous variety. And keep in mind that this game is still in beta. Its a work in progress...

Well, of course no game is going to be the "end all, be all of games." There's just no way that you can please everyone all the time. You can please some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, or all of the people none of the time. That's a fact!

Now..on to the good stuff...did the last patch help the game any? I hear they're still tinkering with balancing skills, etc..I hope they can get it right! I think Wed. will be the day Q comes out with the release date info. Stay tuned!

sorry to say this, but i have said basically just about everything i am allowed to say about swg beta without getting in trouble. im afraid this NDA thing is starting to make me a little nervous, heh. so i better not say much unless its something that can be gleaned from the official website. i like the game enough to not want to get kicked out!

NDA should be down tomorrow. Looking better then I thought. At least it won't be AO2. Still issues, but, if they can fix stuff fast enough, maybe nobody will notice.

More tomorrow...

Yes indeed! 6/26 is THE day I've been waiting for. Glad to hear that things are progressing, even from test's viewpoint. I know you've always been somewhat of a ... realist about the state of the game; nice to see that it's finally moving along and getting the kinks worked out.

Does anyone know if the game has gone gold yet? Are they stamping the CD's and having a massive patch up on that day or what? I hope the NDA drops tomorrow. Can't wait to read REAL stories!

Hey! You mean to say im not realistic? haha j/k, its true that i am too well medicated! woohoo! seriously, the game freakin [edit], despite the ugly [edit]s. I daresay it will not be as perfect a [edit] as DAOC or AC, however it will be far far [edit] than AO's [edit]. Heck, if i shot my cat and sold him in Chinese EBay, my cat wouldnt get as bad of a [edit] as AO did. And thats talking generously. They eat cats in China, fyi.

I can imagine it going [edit] any [edit] now. But who [edit]s? we know the [edit] date already. It dont matter much to me when it goes [edit]. but thanx for asking, heh.

Oh and dont forget to ignore all the ex-fanboys that are disa[edit]ed in SWG not being their celestial vision of the perfect [edit]. Give it a rest, boyz. I bet $5 you will be back again. SWG in a few years = [edit] !!!

wow this is the most pointless post i have ever achieved!

heh..right on. Half of the testers that say SWG stinks and they think 15 bucks a month is a ripoff will be on the servers with the rest of us.

What package are you guys gonna get? I will but 3 months first ($14/month) to make sure it's worth grabbing the 6 month subscription. I don't anticipate any problems, but ya never know!

Oh, and Ammon, you don't have to edit the words release date..they've been released officially...otherwise, nice job!
