Lol, I didn't rush at all, and I didn't skip a single cutscene on my main. I certainly didn't get powerleveled.

Just because they recorded X amount of hours of voice acting doesn't mean you are going to hear anywhere close to all of on a single character. I didn't hear and of the republic dialogue which is roughly half of whatever they recorded, I didn't hear the dialogue for the other 3 classes, I didn't hear every option of every 'conversation tree', I didn't do every single flashpoint (while leveling) etc. etc.

I guarantee you I didn't skip any of it though (on my main) and I didn't purposely try to blitz my way to 50. It just happened, pleeeeenty of people are 50, it just really doesn't take that long (especially if you've had a lot of vacation recently).

It took me 12 game days to reach 60 in vanilla wow. It took me 7 game days to reach 50 in SWTOR. In the scheme of 6 years of WoW playing, is that really all that much? I do my daily hard modes, daily pvp, daily dailies, and that's about all the playtime I have time for in a given day. It's really no different than when I played WoW.

Wednesday, clear ICC 25 on main. Thursday, Friday, do dailies. Saturday, clear ICC 25 on alt. Sun, Mon, Tues, do dailies, hang out, maybe pvp. That's it. Same Sh*t different mmo. Some of you have such expectiations there is no way you'll ever be satisfied.

When are you guys going to realize that if you play checkers on a chessboard you won't experience chess?

If you play SWTOR exactly the same way you played WoW you are missing the game.

I agree with the sharding comment, I think it's rare you run into someone more than once in your lifetime lol.

Endgame? I don't need it for another 6 months.

"-Too much phasing: There is FAR too much phasing in this game. Almost every quest leads to a phased area. I understand this is done to speed up questing, but it too has far too many cons.

Phasing itself is NOT the problem, in fact it has many benefits. The problem arises when you use it TOO MUCH."

It's cool because we don't have to wait on respawn rates for quest npcs and more importantly we don't keep saying hi to that important character we killed last week.

As for end game, every single MMO I have ever played at startup had very little end game in it (WoW and Rift). Also, I think to reach more people devs are beginning to realize that end game doesn't always mean raiding. Look at the pet collecting for WoW and individual instances in Rift.

I do miss an individual activity like fishing, and I wish we could have decorated our star ships and invited people aboard them.

I am sure that there will be lots of endgame within a few months.
Space Fishing would be awesome. Carefully open the airlock, flick out the line and haul in tasty aliens / fish

There is no endgame for you because you rushed to 50 in the first week. I took my time to 50 and have LOTS to do. It just magically appears to people who level slower.

The problem is not only with combat, but generally everything from mounting up and using quick travel. There seems to be a 0.5 second or so delay on abilities taking effect. This is a SERIOUS issue and needs to be looked into immediately.

i even notice this with my speeder. it's .5s cast but takes 1.5s to actually complete.
