Heh.... Life can be a bitch sometimes.

I got early access the 14th and I was ready to log in and play till my eyes fell out... Only to find that my new rig couldn't play the game smoothly.... Actually it was so slow in crowded area's that I had to close the game and walk away. BUT I AM SITH AND I WOULD NOT BE DEFEATED!

Day one) I went to the nearest larger city and stormed every Data/hardware shop there only to find that they didn't sell graphics cards. At all... Lord Karrth was not pleased. After wasting nearly three hours hunting through the city I found a gamestop and demanded they tell me where I could upgrade my puny rig. They told me I could go to the other side of town where there was a shop that sold graphics cards (Yay!) But they closed half an hour ago...

Day Two) ... Went to the shop located during the crusade the day before I acquired a new graphics card and then went and picked up my copy of SW:TOR. Nothing could go wrong now!... Until I got home and opened the tower and found my Power unit to be some weird Chieftec thingy and that the former owner had neclected  to send internal power cables along! I had no way of powering my new card! After calling around to all the places that dealt with computer parts I knew of I found that no one had the required parts (was getting somewhat angry at this point) and after further calling around I got a hold of the company that, in their time, had sold the computer in the first place and they claimed that they did indeed have the parts. Problem was they where some 100Km away...

Day Three) a friend of mine had to go to the general area where the shop was located (finally some luck!) and after work we went there. After navigating the traffic we arrived at the shop and this is where I might have lost my temper a bit when one of the employees told me that they had never claimed to have said parts but he could sell me this fine new power supply... After negotiating a bit he went to the storage and looked around and behold he found the things I needed and I went home with a smile.  

So yeah, my week have been shitty but I'm ready to go now Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent.

I have the same problem. I do hope for the company I bought the my copy from that they will send it and not chancel a few days before hand ... Because by god there will be thunder if I can't play during Christmas

thanks a lot guys Ì'll post the details here when I've run one of the programs.

Not half as much of a surprise as it was to the muppets.......

What are we? Sith or mouse?!

Lets bring forth a new tide of darkness and we shall start with the muppets who's daring name stealing has sealed their own fate!

awesome mate, saves me the trouble of going out and getting my hands on new hardware

Thanks for the advice

I think the machine is pretty new (about 6 to 8 months)

Right now I got one of my own Harddrive's in the machine. It's an 1TB. I know it's not the optimal for a system disk but I've got nothing else atm

CPU: Intel(r) Core(TM) i7 3.2GHz
Memory: 6GB (haven't been able to figure out what type though)
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4670

I have to reboot the machine to get the name of the motherboard I think but this is what I've got so far.

No I haven't had a chance to buy something new. I've been trying to get a computer up and running.

The thing is, I knew my old computer was about to kick the bucket so I had talked to a friend about buying his, he's always traveling and stuff so he more or less only uses a labtop anyway.

But when I tried to boot his machine today it gave me a lot of trouble because of an error with the SATA raid drivers not being fully installed. But I did manage to get it working. (sorta )

I'll post the system spec's as soon as I've found them and if you guys have the time/desire then post your opinion about them

well... I've just been forced to do a complete upgrade of my gaming rig... It didn't make it through the beta test

so I might be coming in and asking about computer parts later  this week

Hey guys.

I'm not sure if this thread belongs in this part of the forum so if not please do the moderator/admin stuff and delete it and tell me where it's supposed to go

anyway I've decided that I want to gear a little up for the game release in form of a new keyboard and a mouse.... I've been looking at around the web but I'm not sure what to pick. I've head lots of good things about Razer products The naga mouse looks good and I remember that someone talked about it or a mouse like it during the wait time for accessing the beta servers last weekend. Not sure I have the money for it but the Anansi MMO Gaming Keyboard looks awesome too but a bit expensive though. As someone who has never raided I have to ask if the keyboard is needed for it's macro'ing or if the mouse will be enough for starters?

Anyway any advice on the matter would be very appreciated!

Karrth.

Only thing I'm worried about after browsing the site is if they (Bioware) decide to allow switches between AC's... Thats one mean breaking of their game motto "an MMO with real choice" But the article is based of a forum admin's post. So it might not even happen, Still it could break the game from my point of view.

very nice site you linked there KKND

Not that much new information in it when I've tried the beta but still it's a good source of information.

I am not sure about the beta but I also got the mail

Interesting.... I just got a funny email from Bioware telling me I got into another beta weekend. Anyone else got this?

EDIT:

I was ninja'ed!

I've spent some time as a Logistic pilot (healer in EVE) but that's a far cry from what I understand is needed during a raid.

I'll probably just go with something simple until I get the hang of this type of gaming. Still I have to see the end game of both inquisitor and the warrior... What little I saw of the storyline during the beta forces me to do this.
