Would there be anyway to post a map of the new Qo'noS? Have you seen one that points out where everything is?

The Office of the Chief of Klingon Affairs

July 22 2011
Hi, I got this idea from Brandon's thread for The Office of the Admiral of Intelligence, and thought it would be nice to have a separate thread with a Klingon twist.

I am General Josh, our Chief of Klingon Affairs. I am here to help all fleet members with the game in general, but specifically I am here for our Klingon Warrior fleet members. If ANYBODY has any questions about how things work on the "Red Side", just post them here, and I assure you, I will do my best to find the answer for you.

I work at home and check the forums often, so I'll try to answer all queries promptly.

Necessary to note that no non-NA or European countries are being serviced at launch. Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South America etc. all have to wait...

Unless we preorder from Amazon or such, we are out in the cold...

"Unfortunately, to achieve the goal of an exceptional game service certain territories could not be serviced at launch."

Much much unhappiness on the topic

Got my CE pre-ordered through local Gamestop after work today. Got the early access code, entered it on the SWTOR site so I'm good to go.

Megan (the clerk who did the transaction) breezed through it like she'd been doing it all her life.

Must be family. ;)


I used to manage a Software Etc. (Before it was Gamestop) and you do end up doing constant pre-orders. The only difficult ones were the big platform machine (PS2, Dreamcast, N64, etc) releases because you sometimes had limited numbers coming in due to the either short sightedness by Nintendo/Sega/Sony or due to them intentionally not shipping enough to satisfy demand so they could force the demand up so they could justify their prices. You ended up having to take pre-orders for release batches, then people would come in every pay check and want to pay a little bit at a time on the pre-order (Which was great, because we had guaranteed sales, at that point, but a hassle because all of our pre-orders were paper slips with stacks of folded credit receipts stapled to them and had to be kept filed and organised with all of the normal preorders.)

The biggest annoyance and hassle with pre-orders was trade-in preorders, especially when people would want to trade an old system in for a new one that was coming out. You had to open everything, hook it all up to one of the TVs and then test it out to make sure it worked. It was never, ever, convenient or easy, due to the layout of the store and the limited counter space.

Sorry... Blathered a bit.

Anyway, yeah, game pre-orders where you're actually paying money are a breeze. Just run it like you're selling the actual product, type in the info, print the receipt, et viola. Once the pre-order process went digital, our customers didn't even need to keep their receipts because it was all stored in the system (though we encouraged them to keep them, nonetheless, just in case of DB issues so they could prove they put X dollars down.)

=edit=

Back on topic, though (sorry I got distracted, there. >.

$80 or so of the CE is basically the Statue. The Gentle Giant statues normally go for $60-$80 each.

Thank you for the summary. Sadly, the most important question has so far gone unanswered: Is the holodancer only female? Or can we have a studly male holodancer, if we prefer?

:silly:


I could care less about the dancer, what I want to know is "Is the exclusive item store" worth the $90 extra dollars? They should give some examples of items in it, at least. If they want my $150 instead of my $60, they'd better cough up some better info.

I'd really like to know how much customisation there will be. Or whether it will be similar to WoW.

What makes you think the dancer will be of a species that has a recognizable gender? Could be a young Hutt for all we know.


Um, the pictures on line? :)

Go here and click on the HoloDancer link under the Collectors and Deluxe editions.

If it were any other company, I'd say female only, but Between the Dragon Age series, the rumors of Shephard finally being able to seduce Kaiden in ME3, and (I believe) direct feedback that same sex "relationships" can be developed in SWTOR, I think there's a good chance you'll have an option. At least a *better* chance than if it were anyone else.

Again... purely conjecture based on recent happenings around BioWare's latest titles.

Still not worth the extra $20 for me though. ;-)

Preordered Mikey's and my copies this morning.

I ordered two collector editions from Gamestop as soon as they opened today. I was the first person to order them in the region according tot heir records. Recieved and etered the pre-order codes only to find out that they gave me the Satandard edition pre-order code. THey will be sending the collector's edition codes as soon as they recieve them. I sent Bioware an email asking how I can change them once I get them. That is the only problem with being the first person to get the codes.
