The whole thing.... just flows. I have very good feeling about this paradigm shift.
Thanks! You and I have "learned to play" . lol. Im sure like you, I love these unresponsive action posts the most. You can't just button smash your way thru SWTOR, like the "pros" think you should. You have to actually time your swings and abilities to maximize your damage.

I love the combat system and hope like heck they dont change it to the "easy-WoW-mode".

Um...no. In swtor, the real game never starts.
Hard mode: Play Republic
Nightmare mode: Play Republic on a pvp server
Are you man enough for the challenge ? Aunt Satele wants YOU.
Republic. No kids allowed.

Agreed. the only people here who disagree are the brain dead WOW fanboys who all they care about is killin and getting "WORLD`S FIRST 50" or "Worlds first kill of (insert name here) and when they saw swtor doesnt have any of those nasty achivements they threw a fit.

They dont understand that MMO RPG`s, are about story first then the rest second. the real reward in an RPG and MMORPGs is the story.

Some people just try to make up for what they dont have in real life in a game which is why they will never be satisfied by one.

I love swtor and i`m sticking around for Years and Years. I like to get lost in a game and keep going and going, i did it once before with another MMO and i will sure do it again and this time i`ll have something else to do other than.

Cheers!

I've been playing MMOs since the days of MUDs, and I never wil understand the 'game begins at 50' mentality.

You get to max level. Then what? What magical new game suddenly appears that made all that levelling worthwhile?

It's just pvp, grind out dailies, and raid. Raid to get better gear, so - that's right - you can raid to get better gear, so that you can raid to get better gear.

Wait a second.. I've killed this dragon three times this week already, just for a miniscule chance I might be the lucky one out of 23 others to get a purple. Why is this dragon not dead?! Why doesn't he get the message and simply find another damn cave to live in??

Then the next expansion comes along, and all that raiding is wiped out by new blues...

Well you know, some people dont realize they are playing MMO RPGS. they assume the reward is in the gear and not in the story or immersion.

Like i said in my earlier post, most of the people who are That way (the people you described) try to fill in a void they have in RL through a game, and that will never happen!

At least there is people like us who enjoy the game for what it is!!! A game.....

In most MMO's the "Real" game does not start until you reach the highest level and begin running the "so-called end-game content". Take the king of MMOS, WoW, as an example. The road from 1-85 is an excruciating one where nothing you do will have any impact on your toon at level 85. It is called a "grind" for a reason. WoW is not the only culprit here. Most MMOs follow this same broken paradigm.

SWTOR breaks the paradigm and sets a new one.

In SWTOR the "Real" game starts the moment you see the first cut-scene of your character. Starting at level 1 the decisions you make FORM your character. Each mission, each answer you chose has an impact. The game starts at level 1 -- not at the level end-cap! People, this is HUGE! It is genre-setting! It blows away the current MMO paraqdigm of grinding to end-cap levels.

This is why SWTOR succeeds. It is ground breaking in its approach. It amazingly combines the single player aspect with the MMO one. Dont let the complainers fool you either. There is an absolute TON of group content in this game. Yes -- It is an MMO in every aspect of the word EXCEPT it breaks the grind.

Your SWTOR life begins at level 1.
You sir, are my hero...for expressing so well what I love about this game...and why I'd hate to see dual-speccing...in game macros...and add ons....(all qq'd for loudly by the people who simply want to see this game be a SW version of wow) get added to what I think is a great approach to the genre...I like the idea/feel that my character has a personality that doesn't change <to another spec> with the push of a button...that there consequences to the choices he/she makes...big thums up for the interactive classs quest lines

The end game is when you quit playing.
This game does some things better than WoW some things worse, forums for example seem budget.
I like the game.
I also like WoW but Blizz decided to cater to the hardcore gamers.
The new raid finder in WoW seems ok but who would re-sub for 1 raid per week ?
If Bioware keep adding to this game I cant see it failing.

For me it started when I got my ship, that's when the real star wars experience began for me.
