Im very excited about this update. Was wondering though, since the arenas look to be situated 'in world' is there any chance we could place our toons out side them and watch? Maybe with an option to choose what instance we were watching? Don't even know if thats technically possible but it would be very cool thing to do while you Q for your next match...

Would be nice to see some baggy sleeves...

Hope your taking note of this Bioware

Wondering if anyone else has found this... Since the latest patch I've found warzones to be even more unballanced. In the patch notes it says they had done something to stop this happening, but while before I only ever noticed the odd 8 vs 7 match, now I've seen a few 4 v 8's, really unfair and not fun no matter what side your on (I just finished a game where we literally walked through Voidstar, at the end there was a full team but clearly at least 3 had just joined since they had no points what so ever) Is this just me then? Or just anouther sign of TOFN's demise?

.... woops lol thanks for info

Not everyone, im in the beta and really dont like the game. No voice acting, no agro pulls, **** non-existent story and boring npc's and really poor combat ... everything swtor is not. Cant say anymore tho due to NDA, you'll have to wait n see for your self, but dont hold your breath

This. Its more a remake of the episode where they first meet Kahn, with some nice tie-ins to the movie. And alot of Trek fans really hate the new movies, mainly because they have lost the sophisticated edge and are now more like star wars... bodes well for the future of Star Wars tho

Agreed OP. That would be very cool. They really do need to go back and touch up the gameplay like this, adding cut-screens and the like. Would make great quality of life improvements. If returns is an issue (and obviously it is) I think things like this would hook new players quicker, players not familier with MMO's but just looking for a cool RPG, which I'd bet is the majority of new players these days.

Not trying to cause arguments or give offense, but.... Can someone explain to me why people only focus on PVP or PVE? To me thats just limiting what you can do in the game. I get that to be great at one you need to focus on it and get the right gear etc, but why not just have PVP alts and PVE alts instead of just ignoring all gameplay that isn't your preferred content? Seems to me if thats how you operate then you are going to get annoyed that there isn't enough content, but if you learn to like all aspects of the game you will always be happy. Again, not trying to flame or anything, just curious.

Nice to see a positive post. Glad your enjoying it OP, what class are you going to pick next? Im working on my Bounty Hunter right now, really loving it too. The story itself isn't the best I've played (so far) but the interaction with your crew is what makes it for me, and the great feeling you have of living the life of a hunter. Also seems to have a lot of different branching dialogue trees depending on your choices which is a nice touch and something I didn't notice much in my Jedi knight (both dark and light) or consular stories. I keep hearing the Agent is the best story, but I think i'll save that for last, always nice to work your way up to the best bit. Anyway, have fun! .... seems people forget to do that these days judging from most of the forum posts.

2 words ... gear up If you think about your stats and stay in at least blue gear you can easily run the game from anything up to 4 levels below recommended, tho I'd suggest keeping it to 3 as 4 levels under can be challenging. Alternatively just over level by doing bonus quests, flashpoints ect, but to me is much more fun to be underlevelled. If your struggling, its all about your gear.

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback.

Ditto to posts above ... why does it take two hours to do this? and why did we NEED it doing so badly? Would be nice if a dev could explain that to us

eh? UTC is not BST, we are an hour a head of GMT and UTC right now ... so whats the point in using it? Sigh, hate it when we get such short notice to patches

If this is true you have more money than sense and should be ashamed. next time you get an urge to throw money away give it to charity or someone who cant afford to live. good god i hope you were trolling
