It's the demand made by people like you that I fear will cause this game to suck. Why are they even including Jedi from the start? It makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever, unless you're hideously underpowered for a considerable amount of time/grind.

Welcome to your typical MMO where every person is the "superhero/superpowerful/superwhatever" and thus no one is.

I agree with you though. I find it offensive that the other classes will be as powerful as the jedi/sith.

What class are you picking? Fill us in with everything you like/dislike.

And remember to test the **** out of the game, try to go into ridiculous places and do ridiculous things, your aim is to try and break the game so it can be fixed before release rather than to play the game. Although you might aswell have a good time breaking it ;)

Jedi Knight more than likely. Sith Warrior is tempting though!

Actually, the aim of this test is to play normally, as if today was release day. Then I *must* remember to fill in the survey the following day, otherwise they can kick you out of the test :(
 
I will certainly be trying as many characters as possible to see which I like best.

I doubt they kick you out if you forget a couple of surveys tbh, but I suspect they would if you don't fill in any at all. The survey is annoyingly long though with the same questions everytime you start a new one :(

Apart from the excellent trailers, I haven't seen much of this game, so it will be interesting. Have given up on MMOs, so hopefully this will be good enough to pull me back in.
 
Have had to exit the game and re-install everything due to some characters missing from my game. Won't be playing for another 24 hours probably :(

Random thoughts so far:
- Shockingly poor graphics with few options to change them (but I can only assume that it is early days since a lot of the textures are missing)
- Have had to force AA through CCC
- Voiceovers are incredibly well done and it is great to have a Mass Effect dialogue system
- I haven't seen much combat yet. Very similar to the old KOTOR games.
- The worlds are pretty huge and it is great having different starting areas depending on your class. While instanced, it hasn't felt instanced at all yet.
- The Sith are more fun than the Republic
- Character creation options are very limited, I hope they GREATLY expand upon this.

Very much a mixed bag so far. Not much else to say for the time being.

From videos and screenshots I've seen, as well as general feedback, the graphics look to be the most polished and impressive of any MMO released yet, by some distance. Very surprised CaptainRAVE called them shockingly poor.

I am waiting before making too many comments on the graphics because there are a couple of factors:

- My install seemed slightly messed up
- It is a beta (of course the beta argument only holds up for so long and has been applied to so many other MMOs).

So watch this space. Based on what I have seen so far though, they are barely better than the old KOTOR games. There is enormous potential though, the worlds are huge and really well designed.

If nothing changes when it reinstalls, however, I don't see how anyone can say those visuals are good.
