Really not sure what to play yet, only played the very start of the sith trees due to my hardware not being capable yet, will probably start & lvl most classes up to 10 and then see where I fancy going from there, although do fancy a Sith Assasin & Smuggler!

Tim who are you going to be playing with? Guild/server etc.

Probably the same people I played SWG with back from 2003, speaking of which, you should check out our guild's old videos (Youtube: Winsdspire entertainment) most of which are dance videos :D

Not sure on server yet, will go where the guild takes me, we'll have republic on an EU server, Empire on a US server :)
 
Well im deffo going to be rolling Twi'lek Inquisitor Sorcerer. Such a fun class to play. I really wanted to go assassin. But god damm Sorcerer is awesome !
 
I have found my class. Sith warrior. :D The quests for this class are amazingly good fun. I am trying to resist playing but its so damn hard im hooked already and its not even out.

Well done bioware you have got me back on the MMO train.

Oh and on that note - any sith PVP guilds? Have extensive experience in WOW (joint first to warlord on server 6 months played from release) and dabbled a bit in Aion and Rift but they didnt hold my attention after the free month.

LoTRO also had lifetime's from the start. For me is not having to worry about whether or not I'm subbed before I can play a game. I've never paid a monthly sub before, and I'm not starting now.

Especially as their attitude was "We (Bioware/EA) get more money from you, if we don't offer lifetimes" (quoted from a CSR @ Eurogamer in Sept 2011).

As regards targetting, it just didn't work for me.. I had to manually click on my targets to target them. Yes I did check the options and they were set correctly, they just didn't do it. Didn't have an issue when I started a Republic Commando.

typing /stuck also kills you (your items suck some durability for this), so it's penalising you for getting stuck.. not fun.
 
Well im going to stop playing until the 20Th of Dec. I started off wanting to like the game played lvl 1-5 and was not to fussed and hovered over cancelling my order, i pushed through 5-10 and it started getting better enough to make me think about keeping it. lvl 10-15 oh yes that's what i was waiting for the game opens up and are now bordering hooked like wow vanilla days. I just hope the game gets better and they listen to fan base on what the majority want :D
 
My main gripe with this game (may sound stupid) is the camera pivot. Why when i spin my mouse infront of my character and then move forward with the directional keys does it reset back to the rear of my character. I have looked everywhere to change this setting, anyone know how?
 
Levelled up a Consular Sage to 15 with a friend who did the same with a Knight Sentinel in the time we had available, and both enjoyed immensely. Story and VO really engaging, can't believe how fast the time went.

Really like the art style personally, although can see why not all would like it. Tried some PVP which is not something I have done much of before (only previous MMO played is SWG pre-destruction) and got my ass kicked, need to learn how to get better at that! But combat was fast and action-packed, looking forward to playing again.

Once we got our ships we flew to some other planets for a peek and they are massive. And this is my only concern, I'm wondering if the servers will hold enough people so that there are characters all over? Don't really want to be wandering round areas that have no other players most of the time!

Also, space combat pretty naff but think it'll be good for a bit of light relief here and there, mix things up etc. :D

I found that LMB allowed you to look round your char whilst not affecting your direction, whereas RMB reset when you moved, so both options available as default.

Smart Camera can't be turned off yet unfortunately. I'd agree it's very irritating, especially in PvP.
 
Weird thing about the lag spikes is two people playing from the same connection we get it at different times. Brother will be running on spot, can't do anything and I can, then it'll switch later on.

As for ranged classes in this game, amongst my two friends we've played sorc/agent/bh as tanks/healers/dd mix and they're just so much more easy in PvP to kill Melee. :( Going to hate fighting sorcs when I play JK-G on live!

I never had any lag at all on east coast US servers, tried english/eu server yesterday & had a few - not many like, but it was definitely a worse connection.
