Bugger, have to change my swtor.com password again. I only did it last week
Your password is weak young one
The only thing I didnt like about it was that you cant move the different boxes around, please tell me they sorted that out with the latest build?
Rift and I think LOTRO are the only ones you can move things around?
Rift was really good for letting you mess with the UI (you could move and resize everything, even the proc counters) hopefully SWTOR will be same, however more videos I watch the UI grows on me

It has been said by numerous beat testers that the UI is poor and very little if any customisation so I don't know what videos you have seen to say that it is "growing on me"?...
I don't mind it, but then I'm not used to anything else either - so hard for me to "miss" the customisation!
New build Thursday... you never know maybe they'll allow movement! (unlikely)
The look and layout of it, yeah I know its not great, but I'm starting to not mind it... make more sence?

I've never understood UI customization, I was once declined from a top PvE guild on WoW solely because I was using the default UI 
I can't believe it made me a worse player.

I used to raid ICC with the stock UI, gotta admit though after making my own UI, I couldn't go back to the stock UI

You can use mostly the stock UI if you really want to, but a custom UI is far, far better in most cases. It's more viable now though with the introduction of proper raid frames, etc.
I love the UI customisation in WoW, though the Rift solution is okay too (everything fully editable/movable).
Who know's about healing then? Going to roll Sage as my main playing with a Trooper (AC undecided) a Jedi Guardian and Sentinel - so I mainly need to heal as Guardian can tank and the other 2 DPS... was thinking this:

Just got a gamespot email about a beta of tor. Got the key and signed up to try it but guess we need to wait for the client and all.
Hope its not too large of a download as i think i saw someone post above its 28gig which lol i wont get if it is.
No intention of subbing for the game just wana see if its anything like the old kotor games or not really.

That's the whole point of a server stress test.
I have to admit, I'm not feeling TOR as much as I thought I would
I'm in the general beta & the game at times feels a little cheap (combat, killing mobs).
Speaking to the NPC's & the quests are great, but when it's a case of "kill 15 driods" it's not that fun.
The character customisation is pretty sub-standard, considerably worse than the newer range of MMO's.
Also, the graphics ingame are nowhere near as good as the screenshots/videos shown for the most part.
Certain large areas have poor texture quality & certain sections have nothing in them - a giant room with one box and plain walls kind of deal.
It's not a bad game, it's pretty decent overall - but considering the hype....
To put it this way, I can't bring myself to spend time away from Skyrim to play the open beta atm.
That's not a good thing, as I love Bioware games/star wars.
