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

I planned to finish Skyrim before getting this but 80 hours in I feel I have not touched the sides so got it anyway, installing now.

Just need to work out which class and server hoping for guidance.

Previously I was a hard core WoW player Vanilla -> Lich King.

Played as a druid which while weak in vanilla was great later on, a master of all trades (tank/heal/dps). I would like to be a master of all trades but as the game is just released it will probably be a jack of all trades and master of none. Is there a master/op class? And is their a shortage of certain classes?

With regards to server I would prefer to get in a very active server where there are a lot of hardcore players, which servers are these and what are the queues like now adays on them?

Also where is the biggest OCuK guild?
 
Sorry one last question, I was PVE in WoW but fancy PVP as it adds an extra element to the game. Are there much problems with newbie bashing and corpse camping in this game while leveling?

Welcome - there is definitely a lack of healers/tanks in the game. The most popular class seems to be the Sith Inquisitor/Sorcerer - you need to decide whether you want to be Republic/Imperial, PvP/PvE, Ranged/Melee - that will narrow down the choices :)

There are quite a few large guilds, see the first two posts for info on these. You would be welcome in any of them :)

Can't tell you much about PvP, but I am sure others can add to this.

I thought PvP was faction v faction, but yesterday I was against my own guildies in Huttball... who are lvl 50 and I'm 22 :s

Huttball can do games with same faction if theres not enough of the other faction queueing.

The no brackets thing in PvP works decently until you get in a game where half of the Imperials are lvl50 (and in same guild) and your the only person over lvl40 on Republic. Add to the fact most of the lvl50 Imperials on Frostclaw are bloody Inquistors of some variety and it just gets wrist slittingly depressing.
 
went to play today downloaded the latest updates then got an error :mad:
gonna have to repair the install not a happy bunny this is my last day off for a week.
 
Still having fun with this game, but can see what others are talking about when they say it plays like a single player RPG. Finding it hard at times to form groups for flashpoints ( less so for heroics ). There is plenty of single player content, so it's not as if you become completely stuck for things to do ... but it is nice to group and have fun with others now & again. I think to get full enjoyment from this game it will be essential to choose a server where you know there are plenty of friends ( or OcUkers ) that you can meet up with.

There is certainly a lot of single player content. From what I have seen, I think the problem is that a lot of people are doing the group content with their guild (I only do flashpoints with guildies, and in future won't be grouping to do heroics with randomers), so there are very few people looking for groups in general chat. Grouping with guildies is both more fun, and more coordinated :)

By a mile which surprised me.

Surprised me too - throughout the beta testing phase the game seemed incredibly balanced between Republic/Imperial. Then as soon as release came, most people rolled Imperial.

I can understand it a little though, from my experience I found the Sith storyline to be so much more fun than that of the Jedi. The Jedi were just too "goody goody" for me tbh - I guess this is quite fitting for the era.

Would be interested to see the most recent stats on the distribution.

Just playing the MMO mini game... find a decent name which has not been taken!

It's so annoying! I ended up picking a last name I always used in Guild Wars, now I find out with the Legacy thing you pick a last name.

Now I'm kinda screwed haha!

All because the names I usually used have all been taken. Ugh.

Wishing there was a name change function now and more character customization.

yeah those player vs player arena matches really aren't pvp are they. what with all that pvp action

You said it yourself, arena matches. Contrived, safe, in a rut. PvP to me is open world PvP, guild groups fighting, dealing with adds, being taken off guard & overcoming odds.

Battlegrounds are a distraction, pvp-lite if you will.
