[Kai]

I pre-ordered first day available.

SWTOR > WoW

Got a toon up to lvl 13 after a couple of days of play. Enjoying the leveling much more then I did with WoW.

[xellos88330]

SWTOR is pretty bad ass. Lvl 17/15 now

[Kai]

Got a lvl 26 BH Merc and 14 SW Jugg. Lots o' fun for sure.

[DarkReign]

Totally forgot about this game until 2 days ago. Played in the last beta round and started a Jedi Consular. Level 9 atm, just got my lightsaber.

Damn you've put alot of time in. I'm only level 17 with over 20 hours of gametime played. Granted I haven't PVPed nor do I skip the story cutscenes.

[TDMVPDPOY]

is it p2p?

[Spurtacus]

is it p2p?

Yes. You get 30 days "free" with purchase of game. After that its 14.99 for one month, 13.99/month for three month subscription, or 12.99/month for six month subscription.

There is already over 1000 hours worth of content in the launch game imo (if you play every class on both sides). They will keep adding stuff over time.

This is the best MMO I have ever played and I have played a lot.

Mind you, I am not a hardcore player in any sense of the word. I do not dedicate to anything that is time consuming (PvP, End game, etc). I am the very definition of casual gamer.

Companion system is just plain awesome. Just got my ship and 2nd companion. lvl 18 Jedi Shadow.

[DarkReign]

Now lvl 24 (like I said, casual player...no time).

Game is only getting better, although I will say, I have every action bar turned on (left, 2 center and right) and I am starting to run out of places to put my new abilities.

This might become a problem if it continues.

What's your class?

What's your class?

One post above the one you quoted.

Jedi Shadow.

Bought it a few hours ago. Got up to level 2 mirilian smuggler, but the game started glitching a bit and i left. Seems fun, though i assume it'll get better when my friends start playing with me during the week

[jman3000]

very fun when you're not playing as smuggler. I switched to a trooper and it's a lot smoother. Hopefully they patch it up.

[Spurtacus]

Tried only two classes so far. Sith Assassin at level 27 and Jedi Sentinel at lvl 10.

This game is a long grind to 50 if you only do missions. I know alot of people are pvping for XP but I don't see the fun in missing out on the storylines.

8.0 w/ a user score of 8.7

Lame

[jman3000]

I had no idea the flashpoints were so damn long. I kinda figured it was a short, intense mission... the first one i did took nearly an hour and a half.

First big patch out today. I don't care for the new content since I'm not at max level but it looks like a lot of bug fixes.

[Spurtacus]

Finally hit 50 yesterday.

I cooled off on the game the last month. Story is solid but leveling was way too long. I'm not a fan of PVP since Huttball comes up 80% of the time for me. I'm probably just going to level an alt instead of endgame content.

[Kai]

Solo queue PVP = zero fun. I love Huttball, btw.

I'm guessing Bounty Hunter? Its no fun as an Assassin. Just when I'm about to finish someone I get knocked down a level.

I've played six matches at 50 and lost all. Funny enough Huttball only came up once.

[DarkReign]

just cancelled my subscription after it just renewed for another 6 months.

Good game, nothing wrong with it, but its the MMO treadmill so many love/hate.

[jman3000]

Have a 45 sage. Dont really play all that much because of work, but I do pretty well in warzones. I'd say I win MVP 4/5 times. Probably just because I'm a healer and can usually get mid 250 thousand healing.

[jman3000]

Had a game a bit ago where I was over 400000 total healing / damage. My buffed crit % is 39 and I'm not even level 50 yet. Not bad.

[phyzik]

got a lvl 50 Jugg tank and a lvl 50 BH healer plus various other characters in their 20s and 30's...

havnt played in a week or so but it gets boring doing 8 and 16 man HM ops missions... Done Palace and EV so many times it gets to be a drag. Thinking about dropping my subscription, most likely gonna do so once Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 come out.

[Spurtacus]

Patch 1.2 killed PVP.

I'm probably unsubscribing once my subscription is done in August. I'll level a Jedi character and wait for the game to be free to play. Bioware screwed up badly.

[Spurtacus]

Going for full PVP Battlemaster set on my Assassin.

But this game has become boring. I'm sitting on the imperial fleet right now and there are only 26 people logged in. One PVP queue popped in 30 minutes. Bioware should have merged servers months ago.

My subscription is done in August. Definitely unsubscribing. I'm done with subscription MMO's.
