Chill and Teo are joined by Skove and Sylveste, our favourite paladin tank, to discuss the fourth and not-so-final Beta Testing Weekend.

1. Introduction

2. Question to the panel

• Given what you experienced in the Beta Testing Weekend, what class will you level first when the game goes live?

3. Trivia question

• Give the Star Wars terms for the following things: elevator, toilet, clock

4. The Holofeed

• One more smaller-scale Beta Testing Weekend happening now
• The weekend testing and all general game testing concludes midnight Sunday 4 December CST
• Do not deinstall your client from the Beta Testing Weekend! It will be patchable to the live client for Early Game Access

5. Force Feedback

• Tweets from @Buggerwow, @TheManbone, @cypher_x, @stucaluck, @bytorsnowdog
• Email 1 from Snowy:
• “Just a quick question about companions. I know that a jawa is one companion but a quick rundown of available companions would be good to know.”(You’ll find a complete list of all classes and their companions here—avoid if you want who turns out to be your companions to be a surprise!)
• “Are there any guild perks like wow? Benefits to being in a guild other than playing with people you enjoy hanging out with?”
• Email 2 from Wingy:
• “In regards to your companion, can you equip them with gear / weapons like you can with yourself?”
• “Have any hosts watched the whole six Star Wars movies in expectation of the game in the last few months? ”
• “How beneficial do you think it is for players to go through these movies before playing the game?”
• “I love the trivia question, but i am keen to know more. Are you planning to or can you do a lore segment?”
• Voicemail from Rubb
• Email 3 from Bugger:
• Overviews of the Sith Inquisitor, Jedi Consular, Trooper and Smuggler
• His (negative) experience on the Pulsipher server, and much more positive experience on Whitebeam Run and the Mother Vima servers

6. The Sarlacc Digest

• Beta Testing Weekend impressions and information
• Initially on east coast Whitebeam Run server on Friday, most moved to the west coast server The Mother Vima
• The toons we leveled over the weekend
• General experience and tips running Flashpoints
• Specific experiences with Black Talon and the Hammer
• Bugs (including the map bug and the dreaded orange pixel!)
