*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****

Just got into playing tonight. so far so good! Level 6 Consular, the GFx isnt great and the textures could do with a polish but its only beta so meh.

Liking the story stuff too but I need to give it some more play time.
 
So fair impressed. I think it looks good, getting frame rates in the 80-100s with everything maxed out.

So fair played JedI Consular, Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and Trooper. The last two surprising good. Trooper more shooting/range based and Agent cover system. Skills seem interested. Seemed a nice change to standard MMOs classes.

No sure I can play a Sith for real, I just too nice. The light side options seems to go against the story line. May stick with the Republic. Might try the smuggler next.

If you want to auto attack just spam the right mouse button, it triggers your first skill which is your basic attack.
 
What is auto attack?? And from what I can gather it sounds a bit lazy to me?

I don't know why people it's surprised it has similar features to WoW... why would you not want to use some features of such a popular MMO and they are after all the same game genre. It's like saying and FPS is a clone of another??

I think the graphics are fine, but agree the textures could be more detailed - but the early worlds are much blander compared to the latter ones - the openess of Nar Shaddaa for instance with all the vegas style lights is awesome!

Still people judging a game from the starter world is a bit harsh; not even got an AC at that point!! lol
 
Loving it so far. Stories are good, and i was a bit meh at first but then got some force powers and it all clicked. I see where the wow comparisons are but i do feel it is a very different game in tone and as pointed out its still only starter world. if you think where wow started (earlier comment made me lol about wow being faster, you should have been in on the grind in vanilla) this is leagues ahead. I reckon we have a long term contender here, enjoying my consular looking forward to getting off-world.

Auto attack is all that white damage you see in WoW and Rift, which is pretty much useless since 99% of the time your pressing a button anyway, I honestly don't see why its a problem
 
Level 15 Sith Assassin and loving this at the moment, still not sure about what to roll at launch tough. It's either going to be a Marauder or Assassin.
 
Have had a busy night, unfortunately none of it much fun but have rolled a Bounty Hunter and ir seems like good fun. A little bit too similar to WoW but I can understand that a lot of people want something nigh on identical but with a sci-fi setting and I was never a WoW fan anyway. Seems like a buy so far, perhaps one of my brothers christmas presents or the old dears maybe.
 
i got to lvl 13 bounty hunter (cant remember what my spec was called but it was dual pistols)
the game seems pretty good story wise but the few battlegrounds i did were really boring and i doubt the game is going to have anything to offer once youve finished the story.

i dont see it beeing ready for a commercial release anytime soon either as its still full of bugs all over and doesnt seem very well optimised at all for how the graphics look
its obviously a new build aswell
Patch Version 8, Built on Fri Nov 25 00:12:10 GMTST 2011
obviously whats going to be the retail client
Star Wars-The Old Republic\betatest\retailclient
retailclient_betatest.version

theres bound to be a patch on the release day but its months from beeing retail ready imo

most expensive mmo ever launched aswell £45 rrp for normal and 60 for deluxe...

if it was £30 i would probably take a punt and hope not to have finished the games story and got bored within a month

Outstanding first night for me.

Approx 6 hours in, level 11 Sith Marauder. Finished the starter area (Korriban) and am now on the Imperial Fleet (mini city). Need to choose my crew skills (aint got a clue) and allocate points in my skill tree (again aint got a clue).

One tip, I levelled from 1-10 with a friend who was playing Sith Inq. This meant we could access each others class quest areas and follow the story. Made a big difference, both really enjoyed it and you gain loads of social points?? whatever they are lol.

zzzzz time.

I'm finding the non force classes much more fun for some reason. Played Sith Warrior to 11 and inquisitor to 10 and both make me feel like i'm waiting for the combat to become enjoyable. Bounty Hunter and Trooper have been fun right out the box so far.

Unlucky, the only( I mean only ) problem I had was crashing once, in 13 hours or something. Great performance on half a 4870x2 (100+fps)

As for other peoples comments about slow respawn timers of quests I don't get it, playing a Inquisitor and the only time I had to wait for respawn was because I didn't realise I had to plant an item. Everything else took about 10 seconds max. Pretty much everything is shared across the team and on other things, if you all click at once it works for all.
 
Finaly got on the euro server gah how silly is that one english server makes no sense. Anyone else having problems when trying to log out to switch chars game freezes on me when i log my char out.
