Not 100% sure what you mean by this, but having purchased a CD key from a US retail version of TOR doesn't mean you'll be able to see ocianic/aus servers when they're up.

Example - WoW EU, while being the exact same game, is not compatible with US/oceanic servers and visa versa.

Hi wowfag,

Please note in games that don't cater to 12yo using their mum's credit card simple things like being able to connect to any server in the world are quite common. You can already connect to all NA and EU servers with the same version. If there are (real) Oceanic servers at some stage they will appear in another server tab so you may have to perform one extra mouse click, I will admit this may preclude some users from joining an Oceanic or other regional server.

On the topic of the Oceanic Servers.

According to EA / Bioware, to coincide with the Australian release of SWTOR, they are looking at finalising a location for an australian based server?

Most like will be offering free transfers too..

That being said, I need to buy the damn game as I'm getting itchy, already downloaded the client and installed it.. can't buy a damn key from swtor.com itself..

apart from ebgames who are importing them in low numbers .. anyone recommend anyway just to purchase a key / game itself?

or anyone know where i can get my hands on a copy in melb?

cjs-cdkeys.com is where I got mine.

You love it

But really, you can already hop around NA and EU servers, it's fine.

Well look at it this way: as Australians, we get absolutely ripped off on games. If a US copy can play on AU servers, why would we pay more for an AU copy? By disallowing it, they force us to pay more. Kinda makes sense.

There's no region locking on the game to begin with so it wouldn't make any sense.

Good luck, haha. Even coming from ~250 days played on wow, it was still a bit to get used to TOR. I'm now lvl39 and have shit under wraps.

Except for chat. That shit's retarded.

well fk, what chance do I have.... I played KOTOR but this entirely different. I can use 1-5 numbered ablities easily (ex-hon player) but any above that I have to click which I am reallllllllly slow at. On top of the I am not used to the whole click and drag to mouse look...in battle I usually end up looking at the sky or the groud ARGhhhhGHHGH!

Gotta learn the hard way I guess. From the couple of hours I have played it looks like a pretty wicked game.

Perhaps you need to invest in some rebinding of the standard hotkeys, using things like the function keys F1 - F5 or so, as well as ALT+[key] bindings. This is my current bar setup for a Jedi Sage:

Yeah rebinding the keys is pretty important when you have a wide variety of skills to use, like you do in the later levels.

This is mine, there is still a little bit of mouse clicking for some things, but not too much because i have all my important skills in 1-6 and ctrl+1 - ctrl+6

Also for the record, CTRL+SHIFT+F will show framerate, though it's a bit hard to read since it's half over your companion frame and really small lol

Though yeah you've got the idea :) consider the F-keys as well, it's really an extra 4 or so keys that are easily in reach

WASD is essential. I'm finding it not so necessary to have my fingers on them during a fight as a caster, but back in my WoW days playing a rogue it was PARAMOUNT to be mobile while fighting haha

:mellow: sarcasm?

Anyone having trouble installing the patch? Mine keeps asking to repair and then failing...

Nah not sarcastic at all. If I didn't think being able to strafe/move quickly while fighting was essential, I'd rebind even more keys and reposition my hand somewhere I could use more abilities without clicking.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
