Gameplay wise(non-pvp pov); Most fun I've had was as marauder, my guardian comes close 2nd, 3rd is sorc, the rest are jumbled up with the exception of operative/republic equivalent. For those classes the combat feels incredibly clumsy and it really picks at like level 40+ and even then feels a lot less refined than the other classes. Story&everything else: My IA operative comes in first. Because the story and compadres. 2nd would have to be the guardian(playing ds) 3rd is trooper, oddly enough the rest are jumbled up in a limbo.

LS Agent story is amazing. LS Warrior story <3 DS Knight story <3 DS/LS Inq story is bad. DS/LS Consular story is bad. DS/LS BH the story is fine. DS/LS Trooper story is ok, but can be very mind-numbing at times. As for smugglers...I stopped playing at level 20, too friggin DULL.

If I'm playing a class that can heal others; I use tank companions. If I can't heal others; I use healers or someone with control.

I personally suggest enabling the p2p option in the launcher.settings. Go to the folder where you installed SWToR Open launcher.settings in notepad, at the bottom there is a line 'P2PEnabled' It's usually set to false, change it to true. If it says 'true' then I suggest you try changing it to 'false' open the launcher and proceed to the point where it starts downloading and then close the launcher switch the p2p option back to 'true'. My speed went from 200-300kbps to 1000-2000kbps

With my playstyle; not doing flashpoints or heroic group quests and ignoring some 'bonus missions(pure exp)' , doing 2-5 warzones a day, doing the spacecombat stuff...well...I'm level 26 and I'm in tatooine. Outleveling that place much right? Didn't think so...The leveling speed is fine. It's too fast for your personal tastes, for your play style. Slowing it down would FORCE others to do all the side-quests...note...SIDE-F'ING-QUESTS, in order to reach the level they'd need to be at for the next planet(without being in warzone queue 24/7...also note that there's other than PvP servers there kthx) The only places I can think of easily outleveling, without trying to outlevel them is Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa....And outleveling balmorra is ok in my books, that place sucks.

Behold, The atrocious suggestion of having the main theme start at the server screen rather than on character selection screen! Bleigh!

I wouldn't mind a proper lfg system rather than the scrambled /who thing(that doesnt even work all the time, gg) Now on regards of automatically creating the group...Nope, that should stay out.

Now as we all know, queues will still continue happening, especially during the peak hours...but, have you noticed how eerily quiet it is? With only the spacecraft swooshing by every 30 or so seconds when you're in the line, waiting to get into the server? Now here's the suggestion: Let the main theme(character selection theme) play in the server selection screen, so we can have something nice to listen to while we wait...maybe some other themes aswell after it ends? Should not be hard to implement to the game, right?...Unless you've hardcoded it in a funky way or something... That way you'll atleast have something nice to listen to while you wait. So yeah....suggestions forum anyone? Could be easily placed under the community service forums....Unless it already exists somewhere...

You want hard? Chapter 1 ending for imperial agent, do it at 29, I dare you! Or maybe soloing the 2man+group quests... Or something along those lines. Otherwise the game is fairly easy. So...hard, under the normal circumstances....where? what?

+2GMT/+1CET here...Oh the absolute joy of WAITING FOR 6HOURS. ''Go out'' 1. Raining 2. Cold 3. Already did that(note exercising) ''Get a life'' Read what I just said, sure I could go over to my friends house, be dripping wet and cold when I arrive and then we could discuss about how the damn maintenance sucks. Or I could, you know...do that via skype or something? Doi. ''Play something else'' I've pretty much finished all the games that I own...so yeah... ''Do something else''...what? There's reruns on TV...I've already watched a movie...'twas ok, but I was still dulled out because of the fact that I was doing it to simply pass time....Exercise? I do that every morning...so that's out of the picture... ...I wonder why they didn't start the maintenance at 1/2am CST, that'd saved a lot of headache on the EU side... So yeah, that's my whining for today.

You want difficult? Finish chapter 1 as IA operative/sniper before hitting level 30. I'm not complaining about it though, it was fun.

I personally hate the idea of the social points and social levels...It rewards being in group 24/7... Now I don't mind grouping with strangers, but having to stay in group pretty much throughout the entire game is...GAH. I prefer to level solo, hell, I even take on the 2+man heroics -solo-(It's slow, but doable) Grouping takes away half the challenge from leveling, turning it to a boring grind for me, as I prefer to stay quiet rather than focus on babbling all the time....very sociable, right?...also having to click 'begin conversation' gets annoying after a while They seriously need to make this stuff easier to get(or remove it), not everyone of us wants to group up to level...not to mention if you get to 50 and want to start getting the 'levels', it'll be a gargantuan pain in the bottom to do so. It'll be a long, LONG grind that'll mostly consist of doing flashpoints all the time.

At level 29 operative; Interrupting the big nukes, letting lighting pass if interrupt not off CD, Stun, CC, At second last phase I used the 20min cd, keep stims up, let your energy recharge, had no need for the pillar humping, keep your companion(Kal) up at all times... I also suggest you use your stun straight off the bat and use the flashbang to get a moments reprieve... And if you honestly don't have revitalizers as operative...what the eff man...what the eff? Oh and suggesting you get a lot of medpacks...Those things are just awesome(2k health back every 90 seconds/1.5k hp to you and your companion...oh yes) I wouldn't suggest trying him alone as healer...You'll run out of energy way too fast and it'll take ages to kill him. And save evasion for the times when your companion gets CC'd.(Also try to interrupt the damn whirlwind)

Here's a question; Why would you trust anything written on -metacritic-? It's nothing but a one gargantuan trollfest that just keeps on going and going and going....

Atleast the CE store will get updated. The VIP store will not be updated.(Most likely) The sec key store will most likely also be updated, after all it brings them $$ and is good for advertising the sec key to anyone without it. Atm the only reason VIP cantina exists is for mountw***** willing to dish out 2.5(1.5 with DDE) million creds for a -mount- and CE owners. Oh and to change the cantina music...totally worth the 1 million credits. So many people keep whining about the CE store, yet they never seem to get it to their heads that the store will receive new items, just give it some time, it's the damn holidays and all that too.
