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

I have finally received the game today! Have rolled a JK for the mean time to keep at level 10 then I will roll a SW with my mate later. I know it's come up a few times about OcUK guilds, but I really want to join a Sith guild on a PVP server. Would be great if we could get an updated list on here.

EDIT: Just realised the list has been put up by the OP silly me.

Think I wanna switch from a Marauder to another class now so that I can continue to DPS while I level up, but can switch tree to a healing one when I'm at end-game. Sorcerer (Corruption), Imperial Agent (Opeative) or Bounty Hunter (Mercenary). Hmm....

So many of my mates seem to love this game but i am having a hard time seeing why its so good?

Giving my perception on it.

I feel the games graphics doesnt suite its cartooney effect and correct me if im wrong but comparison in terms of graphics i feel wow may be better? in terms of gameplay it feels too automated. i played the open beta to get this first impressions of the game i feel diaglogue wise it was far too cheesy for my tastes and when in combat with my trooper i felt it was abit of a flick fest with shooting enemys but found it very undramatic and basic. i feel the game doesn't really offer anything particularly unique asside from being in the star wars universe although can be said as a majority of mmo's do copy off eachother.

Essentually i do want to like this game but i am having a hard time doing so can someone atleast correct my wrong impressions of the game or explain in the way it would appeal to me more? as i dont want to purchase for £40 and realise just as i did in beta its not my cup of tea, i do like star wars lore but given my points above is the only reason i do not feel the need to buy it.

Has anyone discovered how to get the battlemaster pvp gear yet?

You get tokens for it out of the bags from the daily quests, need valour rank 60 to open them though. I've just been accepting the champion bags as a reward until i hit that as it's pretty good anyway, only 9 more valour levels to go :)

Switched to Republic, Jedi Sentinel with The Immortals.

Loving the game but really need to be in an active Guild with an active community.

Level 14 at the moment and I find the Sentinel does so much damage. Seems a bit OP imo.

Also, theres no Combat Log. Is this somethin that can be made with the Chat Tabs or will it come in soon?

I also heard that the instances were only temporary and will be removed. Is this Fact or Fiction?

What are The Immortals like? Is it a busy guild? As I said earlier, the OCUK guild (Black Sun Pirates) on ToFN hasn't really shown many signs of life since I joined it yesterday, and especially considering it seems to have the longest queues of any server in Europe, it doesn't seem worth it to me at the moment.

My problem is that I'm pretty dead set on playing a Bounty Hunter, and I desperately want to be on a PvP server. The only OCUK that catered to those wishes were The Black Sun Pirates, but for whatever reason (probably the queues) most people who'd initially signed up to it don't seem to be there anymore. I'd probably be willing to make a Republic alt and see how I get on in a busier guild.

Thanks Haggis, good to know. I haven't started with the daily quests yet, currently level47, got a fair few of the other bags ready for when I hit 50 though :D. Currently at valor level 27 or so. Better get doing more pvp ;)
 
I am pootling along on Ludo Kresh no queues ever, and just enjoying the single layer experience right now. Might join a Guild later, if I decide to do end game stuff, but for now happy just levelling my toon and her crew skills.

I love that SWTOR is so solo friendly but I am sure I will want to do heroics at some stage.
 
Currently lvl 17 on my Sith Marauder and I have to say it feels pretty crap, I seem to do way less damage than others my lvl, and the talent trees confuse me :/ I know I'm not picking tanky talents but I'm not sure what to do otherwise!

Anyone advise? If this is just how Marauders are I'd rather change now while I'm still low lvl!
 
Nooooooo! It didn't arrive. Seriously tempted to pick up a copy tomorrow from a shop and flog the other on MM when it arrives. Balls. :(

Edit: Alternatively, is it possible to return it under DSR?

Hopefully fact. Keep instancing until you finish coruscantthen drop it, would be ideal!

Also wait until you hit 20 with sentinel. It goes **** :( I'm 34 and it's picking up a littlebut still very tough. Struggle on heroic mobs, especially they have an add with them. Justgo combat and interrupt everything (and pray) and you might be ok

Crap, I was thinking of going Sentinel at level 10, yet to specialise.

Our World Boss run last night Nar Shaddaa
and again on Tattoonie
.

Funny buggers thought it would be a laugh, to attack the boss when I said I will tab out to read if we need to know anything, payback is a bitch :D

We also done the Courusant boss before these 2, and we tried to be clever, new player in the guild, and to MMO's a tank, we sent him to have him die he attacked the world boss, we ran away, for the bugger not to die migrate all the damage to us and like 7 or 8 of us to die while he was still alive :P

What guild you on mate? And would you say vanguard is a good range dps class?
 
Much happier with my Sith Juggernaut with his level 30 abilities, plus the addition of my new companion :)

Interested to see where the legacy system goes.

Keep getting the urge to rush to 50, but am trying to savour the levelling experience - I always rush to the cap then regret it! End of chapter 1 for the sith warrior was absolutely brilliant!

Spent 30 minutes hunting a couple of datacrons on Nar Shaddaa. I've never liked platform games, but it's kinda turned in to one for a while this afternoon!

I'm glad no one was in the area watching me try to get across one nasty jump as I died twice. Would've been embarrassing. :D

Still, 2 down, 1(?) to go.

To be fair both are a bit **** when levelling though I am not sure what they are like end game.

They are probably one of the classes in for a nice big buff on a future patch, its either that or nerf every other class in game so they are all on the same level. I am not too fussed which :p

I do like a good challenge rather than facerolling (feels too much like wow) but at times it can be frustrating watching a trooper mow down a room of enemies without breaking a sweat while I struggle on more than 2 enemies at a time :rolleyes:
 
Really annoyed at this one point in Jedi Knight storyline.
We have to kill a 24 Sith Inquistor guy with abilities that can halve my hp and have very short cooldowns, and very quick casting and able to incapicate us quickly, has more hp than both me and my companion combined and I'm a tank, and seems to take very little damage anyway.
I could be able to kill him if I was level 24.
But I cannot because Nar Shaddaa never gave me enough quest EXP or bonus quest EXP for me to get to even 23, which meant I had to pvp and space battle level my way there, and I cannot defeat him at even that level, and unless I go back and do the heroics which were so far spread apart that it took around 10 minutes to travel to all of them, not including time actually fighting, that I'd still not be able to complete it today.
Really frustrated at this, as I did 95% of every single player quest on Nar Shaddaa apart from one that I found, and then it still isn't high enough to get me to a level where I can defeat him.

And Jedi Guardians feel very, very week in terms of damage output, and still take a ridiculous amount of damage even with heavy armour and high endurance. I've seen sentinels doing quests and in PVP and at my level they do far more damage than guardians and take a similar amount of damage if not less. Really regretting choosing guardian now.
