FOV Adjustment:

If you are seeing too much fisheye on your camera, or perhaps the opposite if you feel that your FOV (Field of View) is too restricted, you can hold the CTRL key and scroll your mouse wheel to adjust the FOV without zooming.

This would probably come in extremely handy if I had one of those curvy monitors, I bet.

Space combat gives you credits, sometimes titles, and commendations. Some people complain about it, but I think its a great little diversion, send your companions off on missions whilst you do it, earning even more.

My only problem with space combat (except that it isn't exactly STO standard) is that it makes me feel really sick. I struggle with travel sickness anyway and I simply can not go into a simulator without eventually expelling my lunch so this just isn't a fun addition for me.

Does anybody feel this effect when playing in space?


Not yet, but I can see how one might feel motion sickness because of the lack of control over the camera.

If you are seeing a fisheye effect or don't feel that you have enough FOV, hold the control (ctrl) key and scroll. (I believe it's ctrl).

Doing that will adjust the FOV.

I don't know how many of you are playing Sith on Leviathan but I did set up a guild on that side/server just at the end of the last beta window called "Stonewall Lords".

If you want to get an invite this time round you could send "Halish", "Yezar", "Doogielocks (i think thats right?)" or "Zepari" a message asking for one. Assuming the latter two got invited.


Awesome! I want to test run the warrior and inquisitor. I really enjoyed the bounty hunter but I only got him to lvl 10.

Just click on the "Pending" warning located on the upper right of your UI, above your mission log and you can claim all the rewards you missed due to whatever reason.

Does anybody know if there is a limit to this? I think I had 2 pending in Beta but I was wondering if you can literally complete quests left right and center and claim all your rewards whenever it's convenient to you. It's an awesome addition to the game for sure but I'd be worried that if you have two many pending you may start losing them.


As far as I know, I had 4 pending ones and claimed them all at once... Haven't tested with a higher number than that...

Well technically you could "stack up" all the rewards, and claim them all at once, however, your quest XP is also considered one of your rewards and will also be withheld from you until you "claim" it... Isn't that kinda like saying, "Nah I don't need yo stinkin' XP" ?

Thanks for that! I will definitely keep an eye on it. I did check it earlier today and I just got the 'completed' bit. Just checked it again and got the same thing. I'll keep an eye on it in fervent hope that I'll get in. :)

I just looked on Swtor.com/tester and mine all say completed as well and no weekend test status there but did get an invite so who knows, just keep your client patched and try to login after 1pm Central Time tomorrow, you might be surprised, or sad :blink: lets hope surprised and happy

One of the dev's tweeted that even if you received your email the /tester page doesn't reflect that but you are invited. So even people who were invited still only see "completed".

But they also confirmed that if you didn't receive an email then you probably weren't invited. I'd still give it a shot come tonight though :)

Re: Monitors

December 02 2011
A few years ago I rolled with 2 monitors but I found it quite problematic. Nothing really has "real" support for duel monitors. For example when playing an MMO I believe you should have the game running full screen on the left screen and the right screen taken by all the UI elements that normally block your view (maps could be HUUGE) but this doesn't happen.

The only benefit is so you can have websites or chat programs open at the same time but now I used a laptop for that and my PC power is entirely dedicated to the game instead of trying to display two monitors.

I think a PC and a Laptop is the better option than 2 monitors.

I just logged out from a very boring raid in WoW and checked my email and saw my invite for Tomorrow at 1pm! I actually yelled out loud and woke my cat up.

I'm soooo excited I'm not going to be able to sleep now. I haven't been able to enjoy any other game since I played this past weekend. SWTOR has ruined me for anything else!

See you guys on Leviathan!!

BTW - Will we have a "Beta" Guild yet?

Congrats! If I get in, I'll be there! :D

they needed to dismiss their companions, and that was horrible music (or noise, as I like to call it).


I agree. I hated the music, but it still gave me a giggle. It reminded me why I don't like to go out to certain clubs lol

Oh I will be checking. :) Damn shame I have to work tomorrow but as soon as I walk in the door tomorrow evening, I'll be checking again... and biting my nails at work when 1pm hits, LOL. I patched the game earlier this evening so should be good there.

The sad part is... logged into STO tonight and just couldn't play. Silly, right? Just couldn't get my mind off of SWTOR. If I don't get in this weekened, I intend to watch SW movies and the tv shows. :D


I know exactly how you feel matey, I cant even look at another game right now I am such a huge Star Wars fan, not that I am not a Star Trek fan, I just love all of the great storyline TOR brings us. That and I LOVE my glow stick :)

Just try to login this weekend and see if it works, sometimes the emails have not gone out in a timely manner :) You never know!
