Leveling with friend(s) can be hilariously funny LOL. Kudos to writers. They created absolutely terrific leveling experience for me. As soon as I am done with one toon, I am itching to create a new one.
More character slots please BW.

And Thank You Developers... for allowing me to experience this amazing journey. I love youBioWare!!!!!!!
Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

It is hard to see the difference between different colored humans, glowy swords, glowy pistols, and people shooting lightning out of their fingers and different colored humans, non-glowy swords, non-glowy pistols, and people shooting lightning out of their fingers.

Funny thing is that many of the SWTOR voices are also in GW2, yet they are so much worse in GW2. Pretty sure the voice for my female Jedi Knight is same voice for the female Human noble. The actress is in the credits for both games.

If the best defense for playing this game is because it's a Sci Fi game and not fantasy... then we're in trouble.

And the reasons you mentioned are part of the reason why people get irritated when the company does things that don't make SWTOR's strengths strong and its weaknesses weaker.

The fact is the Star Wars franchise is arguably the strongest backbone any game could ever ask for, its timeless in the same way that Tolkein fantasy has supported orc/goblin/elf games for so many years. The problem is they are not taking fully advantage of the potential here and the engine is preventing them from it.

To me, the most important aspect of the SW lore that is missing is the epic conflict. The whole thing is a battle of good vs. evil and epic at that and this game is missing the epic part. Epic space, epic ground, epic story. They put all their chips into the epic story and may not be able to afford to keep it that way.

I like to feel immersed in MMO's. It's difficult to feel that way in this game when every planet feels like a fake movie set piece. Worlds should have day/night cycles and alot more going on. Hate how everything is so static and lifeless.

Would be nice if they would expand on selected regions instead of creating new planets such as Makeb. There's literally nothing to do or explore unless you wanna redo the heroics or spend hours everyday doing daily missions.

The definition of SWTOR.

SWTOR: A mediocre MMO that has gone through two rounds of layoffs, resignations of top developers, lack of exciting new content, massive negative press, mediocre user scores on sites like metacritic, subscription declines. SWTOR is also known to have boring lifeless static worlds with no exploration or vistas. The user forums are also filled with unusual forum negativity.

No they can't.

Oh and the super secret space update? It's really more Star Wars Fox.
