Been focusing more on my Slicing, and I understand why this profession was already nerfed twice. I'm doing 20 minute missions that bring me 2k, 3k, or even 4k credits now. I just hit level 22 and already have more than enough for my mount + training (I'm over 60k and have nowhere to go but up). Guess I'll start focusing on an actual craft now that I can afford it. Since most crafted items seem lackluster compared to what you can get just while questing, my plan is to go Cybertech. It looks to be very similar to  Engineering, which was my favorite WoW profession. It makes a lot of crap, especially for gun users, but is somewhat selfish in what it crafts, like custom mounts that can't be sold.

We finally formed our guild. We couldn't decide on a name, but came up with a simple, obvious one. Look for "Free Companies" on Jung Ma. There have also been reports of ATS members here, but on Republic side. That might produce some extra fun.

I'm a Cybertechnician :)

Yeah, Cybertech provides a good deal of useful stuff, like mods, armoring, earpieces, robot armor and ship armor. Nothing you can't buy with your vast amounts of credits from slicing though :)

Server under maintenance, the unbearable pain!

I'm located in the only RP/PVP server on west coast, so far the community is still warming up for the game, no signs of heavy RP-ing yet.

Dark Sided Republic Medic is pure win.

I'm usually the first one to complain about grind. I can say for myself that as far as the leveling process goes, this is the most fun I ever had in an MMO. The story really spices things up, even though a lot of quests are kill x, collect y, it doesn't feel anything like grind. And the space combat is a fun thing to do if you're fed up with ground combat :)

The class storyline (singleplayer in a way) is great, I did Sith Inquisitor (only to lvl 13) and now doing Bounty Hunter (lvl 18 atm) and both stories are great. Each class has it's own story up to level cap. Side quests are shared with all classes within your faction.

As for PvP, I only did one Warzone (instanced pvp area) and it seemed fine and balanced. There isn't really an overpowered class that dominates everyone. I can't wait to try out the PvP planet (Ilum), looks great and large scale from videos.

Also stuff like crafting and companions make the game a bit more special than your standard generic hotkey MMO.
Am glad you could finally see the truth, brother, that is what I've been trying to tell those ignorant people, WoW is far from accomplishing anything TOR has ever done so far!

Like I said many moons ago...

Do not worry, you do not sound like a fanboy and it is a pleasure replying to your posts. I just expressed my concerns of the game being generic. Does not mean I gave up on it. When I get to test it (some friends already preordered, I will get access sooner or later) and if I deem it worthy, they can have all my euros.

And my euros were had.

Gristle, next time we're both on steam do you mind sending me a name I can contact someone at to get an invite to the guild? I finally made an alt on that server, but I haven't used her much.

Well. The quests are a bit average so far, nothing that hasn't been done in every other game. That said they are still fun :), I just don't know how long they will continue to be. The story is pretty decent so far but im only level 8 so I havent gotten very far.

My problem at the minute is that my laptop that im playing on is a bit dodgy in wide open areas (10-12 fps). Indoor environments are better with about 25 fps but I've heard a lot of people saying pvp warzones kill fps so I may not be able to participate in those, which look like the funnest part of the game. I posted in the forums before buying the game, asking if my laptop would be ok to run the game and I got a resounding yes but it seems as if most of the people replying to me were talking from experience in the beta, which was apparently less demanding for some reason. All the graphics options are on low and Im even playing at a lower resolution to see if it helps.

Specs:
AMD Athlon  II P360 Dual Core ~2.3GHZ
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series

I guess ill just have to see what the warzones play like when i get to them. And out of curiosity, which server does everyone play on?

I'm on Hydian Way/Empire for PvE (due to RL carebear friend being there), and Tott Doneeta/Republic for PvP.

Bought the game today, going to be on the Freedon Nadd PvP server. Been waiting since 11am for the website to come back up so I can register, though..
