Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days?

rodrigoandrade writes "I've been invited to participate in the beta testing program for SW:TOR. However, EA's giving out 3-day passes to most testers. A few people are receiving passes for longer periods. Mine will be from Friday 5am through Monday 12am (CST) (i.e. Sunday evening). Since it's a frakking 10GB download (almost 2GB for video alone) I'll use for only 3 days, I'd like to make the most out of it. If you're an experienced beta tester, please post some tips travel-guide style on what I should do, quests I should take, places to visit, etc. TYIA. May the Force be with you!"

I'm in the full beta test, not just weekend, and unless your TOS is different, there will be no discussion here. All beta testers can admit is:
1. The fact that the game exists
2. The fact that you are in the beta test

So yeah, umm... just try it out?

It's something that EA is giving out 3-day passes to for beta testing. It consists of a 10GB download and contains quests.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. A MMO being made by Bioware.

At the very least they should link the acronym to a wikipedia entry or something.

Where to ask

[Divide By Zero]

While you're downloading the mammoth client, ask this question in the Beta Tester forums on Bioware's SWTOR site. There, people who have been in the test for a long time can give you tips without fear of violating NDA.

The kind of nerd who sees TOR and thinks of a secure routing protocol, rather than some game inspired by a kids movie?

He gave:
- download size (albeit wrong)
- beta participation lengths, dates and habits concerning giving them out
- beta access method (timed password)
- method of participation (invited)
- in-game task system (classic: quests)
