Agree!!

EDIT:
Here it is Monday morning and what a wonderful weekend. All I can say is I love the game! Their is so much story to enjoy with each class, I spent a lot of time listening to the dialog and thinking about my choices. I've played the below classes and in my humble opinion the best story lines are with the Counselor and Inquisitor. I'd put the Inquisitor slightly above, can't say just yet due to the NDA but that will be my Sith class to play.

As I've said in other posts, for me SW is a huge change from other mmo's. I would usually just rush up to the max level and then attempt to gear out my toon for raiding or high end instances. In SW:TOR I won't be rushing anything, I'm going to take my time and enjoy the game and story lines. We all play mmo's for different reasons and for me SW:TOR is a welcome and exciting change from other mmo's. There are still plenty of "go kill things" for those that like doing that and who like to dps stuff to death. The instances are challenging, holy cow the first one you come across at lvl 10 was a pain in the butt but our team got it together and we made it thru.

Smuggler lvl 11
Counselor lvl 10
Trooper lvl 4
Jedi Knight lvl 4
Bounty Hunter lvl 5
Inquisitor lvl 8


I originally said I was going to start with a Smuggler or Trooper.....Just don't know now as the Counselor and Inquisitor story lines are awesome. I have a feeling that the starting zone for Counselor/Jedi Knight or the Inquisitor/Sith Warrior are going to be packed on go live so I will probably stay with the Smuggler. But who knows.

Leveling is pretty easy, I did very little "grinding of mobs". Every now and then I would kill extra mobs just to see what they would drop. From what I experienced the drops from mobs are actually useful and in most cases better then quest rewards. That really rocks!

Yep, it seems they've forwarded to anyone who's got an email address and they need more to test their server capacities. If only the quests weren't so much boring..

Are the que(sp) always that sucky, if so they better ramp them up for when it goes live.


The queues will probably be really bad after launch, this is a highly anticipated game. The only thing I can suggest to alleviate it is to choose a server with a silly/stupid/weird name. All of the servers with cool names like "Leviathan" and "Cosmic Turbine" will be the obvious choices for the LCDs and have a much higher population than servers named "Ape Hanger" (or something, possibly not motorcycle related).

So for a shorter queue, go for the servers with stupid names. :p


Good suggestions, Angel. I'm also wondering if the pre-loaded guild system will help to balance out server loads. I believe that's part of the purpose behind them. I'm hoping our conglomerate of GLBTA guilds ends up on a server called "Luke/Han Slash Fiction" -- seems unlikely though...


God that would be an awesome server name.


Let's petition Bioware for it!
