First off if this game was any good when it started it would t be F2P at the moment. Let's just get that out of the way now. If anything in its current state 15.00 a month is 5 dollars more than it's worth to play it IMHO. The only reason I subbed was for the credit cap unlock and various odds and ends even unlocking everything in the CC is ridiculously expensive and I'm not talking races and aesthetics either, I'm talking all the passes, artifact gear, not looking like an ******e. Stuff like that. I mean he'll the artifact gear unlock is like 11$ alone. F2P shouldn't be rail roaded into subbing, no one should. This game is just obnoxious unless you throw money at it. Cell phone games aren't even this bad. And your xp isn't reduced by 50% either, you don't get the xp bonus that subs get. Which is one thing about the F2P model I actually agree with.

Stopped reading at Rift.

This is an excellent thread. Very good information.

I am leveling as shield spec right now and I offset the ow leveling with doing a copious amount of flash points. The queues are almost instant as well. One could level at a decent pace just from flash points I would assume at least till level 45 or so when the levels get long.

I agree with some sentiments of the community but I am going to reserve judgement until I know more about what it contains. But most seem to be convinces that it's 10$ per planet. However this is a 20$ "expansion". So it may just have 2 planets. Honestly I would be happy if they added more to the planets we have more high level areas. We are playing with planets here not continents, they are huge. Though I have to admit I would love to see some new places.

I tend to agree with this one. Though I did make a commando I really didn't like it that much. Now that I am on my Vanguard I am loving it.

Personally I thinks it's awesome with the snowblower attachment.

Yeah, after the bind period is up.

What about a talent that adds 50% of our defensive stats to our offensive ones? Would that work? I.e, a skill that takes 50% of our TOTAL armor (including buffs) and increase our damage by that much. Make it a passive ability. I am in no way an authority on Jugs as I just started one but I am just using armor/damage with arbitrary numbers to define my idea.

Honestly I wouldn't mind a HoT timer. Would be nice.

Anyone else in a queue for this server even though its a light load? Never had this issue before.

Wow. This has been quite the read. Back at launch all anyone ever talked about was how Ops just wrecked shop in pvp. I don't really don't mind not being top bill on dps I'm past that stage of my gaming career. So far the story is cool as well. I played a Merc BH and a Sage Consular at launch.
