This is the main problem. I like my towns full of people, regardless of whether or not they're idiots. The first 'M' of MMO is hardly being fulfilled right now.

Yeah - at what point is this game just guild wars?
Do they do that for traffic and stability purposes? Like could Bioware potentially, once initial release traffic dwindles a bit, make zones 1 instance?
They already do that now. No world has a set number of instances. It depends on the player count and server latency. If you go to the Imperial Fleet there will be 200 people in a pretty small area with no multiple instances.

I have a friend playing the game with me right now who keeps sayings this is the case, although I've never actually read anything about them eventually consolidating all the instances or whatever. Does anyone have a link to anything that points to that?

A lot of people are in the 20-30 range, a lot of us have out leveled the majority of the players.
Only 35 people above level 40 on KV right now.

Sounds like a casual server is all, yeah. being higher than the curve always leaves you with less people. That's normal, nothing Bioware can do about it. On Helm of Graush republic there are 98 people 40-50 atm. Figure about 75% of them are smashed into 3 planets, you're bound to run into people.
I got a hooded chestpiece at like level 10 on my Sith Sorcerer. Sucks for Juggernauts!
This is both terrifying and awesome. Too bad my main doesn't slice. Heresy, I know.

Nothing in the Patc Notes about disabling the sticky cam. I am disappoint. Clearly Bioware doesn't have their priorities straight ;-)
I'm loving the game very much right now and I hope they reach another million sooner than later.
I'm currently in level 20s so the zones have lots of people in them. Over 100 according to the counter at top-left of my screen.

I don't even bother outside of official threads anymore, too much stupidity and cynicism, feels like it's gotten really bad the past year or so and I've been here for over a decade. I have my complaints with just about everything but the older I get the less I give a shit about peoples whiny, rage filled bullshit.
I havent got to play much last couple days, and I've been lazy on taking shots AND I've been messing with an alt so mine are a bit older now but I figured Id post some for fun.
I mostly just posted the first one because that fat twi'lek guy is awesome. When I left off I mostly just wrapped up Nar Shadaa, played a bunch of huttball, did the last flash point again, forgot the name and started in a Sith Warrior to goof around onfor a bit while things are hectic here

Hahahaha it is so bad, it was censoring anything you could vaguely twist to make offensive. I think some iteration of PSO was the other game I can think of that had such an insane filter.

I've reached Taris yesterday and... I'm bored out of my mind. Run here, kill these, pick that up and bring back here.. or wait.. drop it off there. And no, I don't run into too many folks. Or maybe its because we are all sprinting pass each too fast to even notice there are other people occupying the server. Fatigue has definitely kicked in and the fact that it really doesn't seem like there is much going on... sure I can play PvP or keep doing the same flashpoints over and over. I just sick of these dang "Cities", I've been ready to see something open-world-ish 2-3 cities ago. Tatoonie looks awesome though..
Ok, this game isn't above criticism (of any type apparently). But some of it is definitely warranted and true, whether you like it or not. People complain there is too much bitching going from the inside while from the outside, a LOT of these official threads are Love-ins/circle jerk fest (and both are true -- either completely or to an extent). Take the good with the bad folks. Seriously, the game isn't perfect.. what game is? one of the reasons we see so multiple threads: one if the official, lovey dovey one and then you have the angst/roid rage filled one(s). I haven't see a thread in a while where there was a healthy discussion coming from BOTH sides. If someone brings up a valid point about a shortcoming or whatever, why can't it be discussed in said thread instead of shot down with another form of discontentment in not agreeing with said statement. And no, what I said doesn't only or mostly pertain to this thread.
In short: both sides of the argument are fucked.

I think a forum admin will have to grant your account permission to post. Took a while for me to get the privilege, also.
What a horrible policy! I would never post on a forum that does that!

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous that you have to do this, something about it not being optimized yet but come on.
Anyhow, go to:
C > Users > [your PC's Name] > App Data > Local > SWTOR > swtor > settings > client_settings.ini.
When you open it up, you'll get a list of visual options you have configured:
Like this, sort of, depending what you have of course.
Add the line: AntiAliasingLevel = 2
You can change the 2 to 4 or 8 if you wish, but its not really optimized as said, and fairly taxing.
Lol
I rolled a Marauder and was kind of regretting it. Thought i should have went Juggernaut, but now that i have a new companion that heals I'm liking it a lot more. Part of me still wishing i could wear heavy armor though.
I do indeed regret not going heals on my Jedi Consular though :/

Whatever, it's not like you can't discern that on your own :lol Mine just happens to be the same for both.

Definitely get a bit of a PSO vibe from some of those screens up above though. Really kind of dig it. A bit of Omega or Illium from Mass Effect 2 as well.

so i know you can't change your class, but can you respec your skill tree down the line if you find out you made a terrible mistake?
skill tree seems a little weird in that i have points now to upgrade an ability that i'm not eligible to train for until 25 levels from now. can't decide if Scrapper or Dirty Fighting would be better for my Scoundrel since I don't really know what any of the abilities do yet, so I'm hesitant to spend my points.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
Yes, I posted this a couple pages back, but here it is again. Giantbomb Interviewed the lead writer, basically just PR but they did specifically address the empty spaces, instances, and dark/light side points when it comes to min/maxing.
It's a good interview if not a little fluffy.
Yeah, I just switched to a healer on my Smuggler and I really hate that I can't play what I want to, when I want to, without forking over a ton of credits after just a few respecs.
Not having dual specs might not be that big of a deal for pure DPS classes, but for those DPS/Tank or DPS/healer classes it hurts. Personally, if playing a healing Smuggler is significantly slower in leveling up than a DPS spec I probably won't try healing again. I can't afford it, even though I'd like to play the role of a healer sometimes for FPs when needed.
I agree with the corridors. So boring. :[

There was Zone instancing on all the worlds in the beta given the day....
All the other info was just half-truths or out right lies.
I personally find the copy and pasted generic cave worse. If you've played the game for a decent amount of time, you should know the cave that I mean. I've seen it used for a quite a few instanced quests.
It doesn't bother me too much though, especially considering how massive the world is. It certainly isn't at Dragon Age 2's level of copy and pasting.

I wouldn't risk posting anything bad on the official forums. They might ban you from every EA game for 5,000 years.

Hell yeah finally found a way to get the game!
Too bad I was so excited that I made a character last night without look g for which server gaf is one. No way to move characters either. Oh well that is too expected in launch.
Just remade my consular on kellers void. Anyone got a new character that wants to run early quests. It's so boring a third time lol

Loving my BH so far, but I'm starting to hope this is the worst of the storylines.
