Ok, guys and gals, species of all planets, it's coming. If you don't have testcenter installed, there's a link in that post about how to set it up.

First off, don't be surprised by quit a bit of delay with both the download and login. Some players have been chomping at the bit to play this for months.

Second, some wise words from Okram (the armorsmith correspondant):

However there will be some important things to keep in mind, TC will not be lke anything you might come to expect. There will be frogs, however they will not be the usual pick any skill, get weapons and buffs, and go at it type of frogs. They will be very strictly controlled by devs to make sure testing what needs to be tested is done. Further the current plan is that as each testing phase is completed, the test center will be reset multiple times to create a new clean start for each testing phase. This will inhibit our ability to "hoard" a large sum of resources in a testing house. However during each time we will have two major objectives:

Primarily: Assist the developers with the current phase of testing. If they are testing brawler skills, pick up brawler and test 'em out. If they need comments on pistols, help out with pistols ect.

My goal is to re-fill the food chart with any changed food effects as quickly as possible, and keep it as up-to-date as possible if numbers get tweaked. I'll be uploading a CU version of SWGChefTools.xls up for download tonight (I'm going to do a quick scan through the skill trees to check for added/removed schematics). It will initially be empty, I hope I can count on at least some of you to help me fill it out. The "min/max range extrapolation" calculator on the "More Tools" page will be the key to our success. I'll be starting a thread here for CU data collection when I get home tonight.

Just as a side note: I have a hunch that the revamp data collection I did last year had a lot to do with my getting picked for correspondant. If anyone going for that position wants to build a rep...

Finallly.... I'm going to be out of town this weekend. I'm flying out to upstate NY tomorrow morning, and won't be back until Monday night. My forum access is going to be minimal, and I'm almost positive I won't be able to get in-game. This first phase of testing is going to be without frogs, focusing mainly on low-level combat (I suspect to allow players to get used to the new systems), so I'm hoping I don't miss much. I want you guys to behave while I'm gone.
