Nope. No interface scaling or changes at all.
I want conclusions from the beta... not launch day low level characters or in 4 weeks after unknown updates.
Pretty sure I saw videos with high level characters.

Marauders have the Bloodthirst buff (Think weaker bloodlust), which is why you bring them to raids. Sinceit doesn't have a 'exhausted' type debuff you might see marauders the only class that's actually stacked.
EDIT: And marauders can't be a 'sunder bot' because they don't get sundering assault at all.

Yeah, well, they probably aren't sitting 10+ feet away from a 60+ inch screen. It's just the font on some stuff (like the smaller font on tool tips) that I'd like to be a bit bigger.
That is probably me #1 request, the text is just too damn small since I am using my HTPC in the living room on a 46" HDTV
I don't need it much larger just a tad bigger
Some of the vids I saw with high level characters did not have much to go off of. Not everyone was max level and the player talked about how big a difference some mod was making to his build but I dont remember specifics. He was pretty powerful but not indestructible.
Snipers and Assassins were really popular for their burst damage. It's impossible to determine any sort of balance before there's been at least a bit of meta gaming.
In fact the worst trap most MMO devs get into is basing early changes on immediate player feedback instead of giving the community time to adapt strategies and see if a particular class/build is actually overpowered or just a hard counter for bad players.
Marauders look to be in extremely short supply.

This is crap.
Firstly what is this wave thing for, i mean surely you have the servers to support the amount of CD keys in the market and you have tested those servers with the beta's if not then they really should of its bad form to say the least.
Secondly this should have been made MUCH more public, i expected to get in on the 13th like MANY others and by the looks of things despite spending £130 on this game it looks like i wont get in till very late possibly release date which means ill be missing out on things like grabbing good names and easier leveling ect.

That's unfortunate. Annihilation tree playstyle looks awesome; there's a lot to keep track of and very strict timers you want to maintain. They also get the fury mechanic which adds a lot of complexity and crazy tight rage management.
If i didn't absolutely LOVE the theme of my rage-build juggernaut, marauder would be my first alt without a doubt.
This is the way I'm looking at it--they are STILL advertising pre-orders with early access where you MAY get up to 5 days of early game time. That means, while not guaranteed, some will get 5 days early game time if they pre-order TODAY. If not, they'd be lying.
Early Access is not the official launch of the game, and it was always intended to be done this way. Not to sound harsh, but I think you should have researched the pre-order benefits if you were expecting to get in before the game officially launched.
This is a black eye for Bioware. They will rue the day they did this in waves.
Probably less than 100mb.
EA lying? That would never happen...

Well if you have the build from the last beta weekend (release build) only a few hundred megabyte update.

I highly doubt this will matter in the long run.
I'm pretty sure his statement was tongue-in-cheek.

DPS slots are the least of worries for SWTOR trust.
Amazing how hard it can be to tell sometimes, especially when it comes to stuff like this lol.

I'd say cut them a little slack. They have already extended this by two days to try and smoothly get in as many as they can by the 15th. I'm saying this as someone who didn't preorder until November 25. This will mean F-all in a week's time from now.
No they won't. It will have no impact on this game at all. The -response- today is going to seem really awful but truth is anonymous humans love to exaggerate how 'put out' they are by things in the hopes that they'll get what they want. Reality is far less irrational and the wave nature of this has been known for quite awhile now.
When someone pre-ordered it said very clearly 'Up to 5 days' early access. If you cared about the 'up to' part then you could have done the research to find out about the details. Right now people are actually getting 'up to 7 days' early access. There's really nothing in particular to be upset about other than selfish demands and jealousy that 'OMG THOSE PEOPLE CAN PLAY AND I CAN NOT, RGAE RAGE RGAE'.
edit: Apparently I responded to sarcasm? Good show Paches-EJ!
Side note: Why don't we have a 'early access bitching' thread. We could have had a good discussion about specs that gets completely sliced through with whining.

I no longer can tell the difference, ugh.

It was very public. When you went to order the product, it states as such that early access was going to be done like this. When you go to their site it says so as well. It says so on preorder marketing. It notes it as such also when you get your codes sent to you, they have stated it in multiple places that it was going to be this way as well for months now. The emails being sent to people about the beta and early access stated it also. It's been talked about to death. Also they had originally announced only 5 days of early access, which they extended the period by 2 more days, so people are likely going to have a chance at even more early access time. It was talked about to death during beta and all the discussions leading up to it.
Mitigation-wise, they're very similar in the mean, with the Consular making up more from their avoidance than their absorption. I think you can safely pick whatever appeals more, the tanks show more iteration on the back end than any of the other roles.
I should have wrote false advertising.
It's hard to gauge to be honest. Since in beta I was leveled into the 20's, I faced lvl 50's in PVP. Now, while they median stats for everyone, that doesn't stop the higher levels from having more abilities and upgrades, so if you met someone with equal skill, you'll be slaughtered.
From playing though with those that were around my level of different classes, it was very-very unbalanced. But this is "low-level pvp" so it's hard to gauge as it's prevalent in every MMO to be unbalanced around then.

Is there a list of the titles you can get by class? I want to configure my name around one lol.
There is a live chat with some devs via Best Buy @ 8pm EST.
