You played the wrong classes. The Jedi are shit.
If you buy a CE, yes.
Judging by how long it takes EA to get a mobile app in the app store...I won't expect mobile ones for months.
Yeah I agree here. So boring.
I get the impression that all stories are too streched out to stay interesting and it really depends on the player character to keep it somewhat entertaining. Jedis just don't have anything to offer in that regard.
If you think the bh story is trash, try the trooper. For the portion i got to see it was much better.
Trooper was too "military" for me. Played too many of those games, and Jennifer Hale's military voice... ugh. I wish she had another role.

Seeing a distinct lack of healers questing in the 4 group quests on DK

Healers aren't really needed for those quests. Pretty much any 4 people should do.
On the story, front I think I'd rank them, including the highest level character I'd played of that class:
1) Imperial Agent (10)
2) Bounty Hunter (27)
3) Sith Warrior (10)
4) Sith Inquisitor (10)
5) Jedi Knight (16)
6) Trooper (10)
7) Smuggler (10)
8) Jedi Consular (50)
Of course this could all change in the later acts. I thought the JC story was absolutely garbage until the latter half of Act 3. Getting

Wow I just read a summary of the Revan book. ...I don't know how to feel really...
Poor T3 getting wrecked. But I didn't expect the Exile to get fucked like that... She "lives on" in Revan but we'll still never see her again which sucks. I guess it really does fit based on the end-game spoilers that someone posted before.

Where can I find this good summary?
Did you join on the website? CzarTim has to approve it.

You can't anymore. Bioware closed guild registrations yesterday. You'll have to wait until the game launches.

So basically he is locked in stasis in Kaas City in TOR? And, is the Jedi who died the Exile from KOTOR2?
Kotor 2 > Kotor 1

So I need a quick clarification on this. I don't have a ton of interest in this right now, I'll probably never buy it but who knows.
Is the retail version of this still Origin free? I remember a long time ago I think they said it was but the digital version was only on Origin. If that's still the case that's a big check mark in the buy column for me.

Do you only get flashpoint missions from the fleet?
Giolon

No version of the game is free. The digital version is only available from Origin. However, Origin is not needed to download or play the game (an Origin account=Bioware Social account= EA Account is though).
All Flashpoint missions can be picked up on the fleet, but they also tend to appear at the Spaceports on level appropriate planet and direct you to the fleet.
Yep. Kinda sucks.
Open world PvE bosses look so amazingly boring. Warning: Awkward video intro.
You lucky people in for the last weekend, let us know if they happen to do anything special in-game when the beta ends.

I cobbled together a video of things MMO players should know when starting up and going through SWTOR.

Hm? There seemed to be a steady stream of missions from 1-30 that I witnessed.
Also are there "bonus" quest series on every planet? I found the storylines for those to be on par with class storylines, though I only did Nar Shadda and Tatooine.
lol I do number 2 all the time. I have no idea who's the idiot at Blizzard (or whatever MMO did it first) thought that A and D should be turn.

So playing a consular up to level 38 I'm going to say this.
Dark I = Smart ass
Dark II = A Dick
Dark III = You're basically one cruel hateful asshole.
There is a quest where
It's SOOOOO much better than the light side it's not even funny. Light side is way too detached and passionless for lack of a better word.

So what is the Sith equivalent of Coruscant in this game?

First thing I do in an mmo is make A and D strafe >.< It seems crazy to me for it to be any other way.
Coruscant was pretty boring >_<; in fact most of the Republic side stuff was kinda... lifeless?
I dont know, it just seems kinda crap.
Also they neeeeeeeeed to make run/sprint whatever it is a lvl 1 ability, you pretty much spend 95% of your time running in the earlier quests.... its just lame to arbitarily make 'run' a lvl 14 or whatever ability.
Also why the hell do you have to 'find' each 'hearth' or whatever you call it spot? Its such a stupid system where you end up kicking yourself if you happen to miss a spot accidently.
I dont get why Republic seems worse, they just do. They managed to caputre their lameness and reinforce it with unexciting quests characters and worlds to explore.
Also I really hate the 'capital' cities in this game, its like an even bigger iron forge for both sides with some slight tweaks to it flying through space. Why the hell isnt coruscant the capital for the Republic? Why is it a lvl 10-16 questing hub? Same goes for Empire.

It is. More varied environments and better quests. Also the world design is better as it isn't so segmented.
Coruscant doesnt even feel like a city >.< its weird.
I really hate it, I went through it last beta, and its probably the main reason I wont play a Republic class if I do get the game.
Also wtf at having no choice? Why is there only one 10-16 zone? One of the things I like about wow is that you have so much choice, especially now, of where you you want to lvl... here its much more of a linear experience >.> And thats less fun in an mmo imo. (although the new 5 zone expacs are kinda killing that at high lvl >.<)
I hate that the 'story' apparently also means less 'stuff' fewer worlds and areas to explore, because they have to voice every single side quest. I would much prefer to simply have the main 'class' quests voiced, and the companions, and just leave the rest to good ole fashion reading if it means we get more stuff to explore and more variety in what we can do.

but light side is good for playing an asshole disguised as a good guy. In this, Bioware is master at sarcastic-arrogant dialogues
I've been thinking about getting this after watching some playthrough videos (not sure if my computer can handle it...). It looks like a great game for an altoholic like me (I got most classes in WoW up to level 30 at least). What percentage of the quests are actually class-specific? If I reroll a bounty hunter after playing an imperial agent am I going to be going through a bunch similar quests in between the main class-specific quests?
The class quests are very limited. (But very fun) Basically most of the game is just grinding through WoW/MMO type grinding quests. They do have stories, but you're not going to get too involved in them unless you're trying to get with the quest giver.
Republic and Imperial both go through the same set of quests after level 10 all the way up until level cap. Each faction has it's own set, like Horde and Alliance in WoW.
Thanks for the info. Kinda disappointing that the class quests are limited, but I'll probably still get the game.

I personally found the pacing pretty good as far as i played (up to 16 with IA and SI).
When you get your class story quest there is usually 2-3 other quests in the same place that you pretty much complete with minimal fuss. So its just like playing the main quest most of the time. No idea on higher levels though.
