I think the real question is.... why do you need it? You can lvl just as fast now as you could back (ok maybe SLIGHTLY slower, but not noticeably) then I find if you do your planetary hcs (which actually you don't really need to do if you're skipping them every alternate planet or so and using the free exp boosts you get...)

I just want to highlight two things here..... 1-You're saying that you think WoW has more Lore than SWTOR?!? Obviously you have absolutely NO CLUE as to what lore really means then because the Star Wars universe has a HELL of a lot more lore in it than the WoW universe (you can compare books, fan-fictions, comics, etc and easily come to this conclusion).... thats just such a silly point it doesn't even begin to make sense as a reason 2-So you think mages, paladins, death knights, warlocks, priests, monks etc wielding magical weapons and armour (while being able to invent guns, cannons, aircraft and submarines) and continents situated on the back of a giant sea turtle is more realistic than space ships, blasters and high-technology? Ok.... that word realistic doesn't mean what you think it means (even those things like the Force, stealth, etc have explinations beyond "magic") Also as i've already highlighted, you don't need to sub to play SWTOR so they are not mutually exclusive games (furthermore if you're paying real money for the WOW sub after you've hit lvl cap you're literally throwing money away as you should be able to earn enough gold to buy tokens for game time soon after capping 100)

issue is at the moment there are only certain companions you can unlock right now and as the expansion progresses you'll be able to unlock more. (i.e. on my jugger at the moment I've only got one of my original companions back)

So... based upon your original post.... you prefer EVERYTHING about WoW over SWTOR except for the storyline? In which case, the next question is, why not play both? You can access the full original lvl 1-50 storyline in SWTOR for free so why are you acting as if you're forced to choose between the 2?

No it really isn't that surprising and I don't really see why you're finding it so hard to grasp this basic concept. It was always said and 'sold as' the idea that you'd get a lvl 60 without having to DO the lvl 1-50 storyline chapters, not that you had DONE them. Achievements, funnily enough, are awarded to those that achieve things in the game... spending money on buying a lvl 60 isn't an achievement its a shortcut (i'm not slandering ppl who use those tokens btw, merely pointing out the difference). If you want to earn things like the legendary achievement, etc, you'll need to EARN them, not BUY them.

Just to clarify, is this above thread being made from a PvP or PvE perspective? I just wish to know because i've always prefered Burst over sustained DPS (even if sustained is 'better' in longer PvE fights... i prefer spiky big numbers to overall better damage... and i often find burst>sustained for lvling as well)

1-Pretty sure they said from the outset that you only get early access if you subscribed back at the beginning of August (the 10th I believe it was). 42 days only puts you at the beginning of September. 2-They also stated you'd not get the SoR release until the latest expansion fully releases, so tying that in with the above comment thats why you're stuck at 55 for now. 3-It really doesn't take long at all to get from lvl 55-60. 4-We are all struck by the Server downtimes (though so far there have only been 2, one Tuesday and one today) 5-Games take time to upload updates. So either leave your PC logged into the launcher so it does so while you're at work or get a better internet connection. 6-BW has no need to refund your money since you would have 'lost' the game time to updates regardless AND its not their fault if you didn't subscribe in time to qualify for early access. 7-If you REALLY can't wait another 5 days to start lvling from 55-60 then buy SoR expansion for around £11.99

No offense.... but YOU@RE FRIGGIN SITH!!! All Sith do is kill their masters! What did you think would happen at the end? that you'd run off with your master skipping into the sunset holding hands? Granted he should have put a spoiler tag on it, BUT, it doesn't change the fact that if you couldn't guesss within 2 minutes how it would end then... i dunno you must have been raised in a cave or something to be so naive as to how Sith work To the OP, yes you went to the wrong PvP vendor. Did you never wonder why there are 4 sets of the identical quality vendors? OR that the gear with cunning looked completely different from all other Sith PvP armour?

Doing your DAILY pvp however, is still worth it all the way up to 49. Basically if you want to maximize your exp gain per day you do your daily PvPs, FPs and Space missions, and then preferably ALWAYS do missions with 2 or more people except for your class mission series as you will clear content faster and gain more exp per kill in groups due to the group exp bonus.

done it 4 times, twice in beta, twice after release. 2 times on each Sith class and i've never died doing it. Quite simply i used all my CD's and medpacks and i defeated it each time with AT LEAST 25% hp left, in fact on my warrior once i managed it with a comfortable 50% hp left. Sorry, its just obvious that you're not using the class to its full potential rather than the missions fault.

Alderaan is before coruscant. You'll notice in the Alderaan clip the main 'sith (the surviving sith from the 1st intro clip) gets a grenade blow up in his face, ruining it. Not only does he survive the encounter of being thrown into a cliff he then goes onto lead the attack on coruscant personally. The resperator on his face at THIS point and from then onwards is because of the grenade blowing up half his face in the 2nd clip.

Most rewards also give the option of commendations. You can use them to either buy companion gear since you don't want it OR chests for random stuff to sell OR mods to sell OR mods for your companions.... OR gear for yourself for the looks then upgrade the mods in it to make it useful to your actual level.

Logitech G700 mouse and G13 gamepad here. Why the G700 mouse? because it feels great BUT because it 'only' has 4 additional buttons it doesn't overwhelm you unlike the Naga series which can result in you simply NOT using all the buttons for a while simply because you need to convert the way your brain thinks to using your fingers on your right hand more than you often would (plus its cheaper )

So basically you skipped half of the game so far? No wonder you are always under-leveled. You do realize that the bonus missions, daily space missions, daily pvp missions, pvp and flashpoints all give HUGE Exp boosts as well as lots of credits and commendations right? As in the PvP gear is often a big upgrade to PvE gear available at the time, so is flashpoint gear.
