I'm about 50/50. I rolled republic toon on my server to see the q difference and it was instant, it was awesome.

Yea on Taro Blood on Empire I have to wait 15-30 min to get into pvp. Rep on that server I get in almost instant.
Rep pretty much always wins the civil war map on my server. The others not all the time. Too much luck involved there.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Yeah, I'm about 75 hours in an at level 29. I like to take my time and explore and not do quests at a breakneck pace.
At first I thought the leveling was way too fast and there were way too many quests because I was already over-leveled for Nar Shaddaa by the time I completed Taris but that's because I'm a completionist. I ended up skipping a lot of quests on Nar Shaddaa and now I realize that having too many quests is a good thing because the next time I go through with a character I can ignore half of Taris and I'll do all the quests I skipped on Nar Shaddaa the first time so I'll still have fresh content to go through even while leveling.

There is. Screws over empire players who have to fight each other in Hutt Ball while we always get the empire on the Pub side.
I kind of did the same thing in skipping a lot of NS quests, but then I hit Tattoine like a brick wall. It's definitely a LOT harder to me than NS was. Dying quite a bit and doing every quest I can (except Search & Rescue... fighting groups of 5 elites at the same time isn't fun to me, even with a group).

Lol, I was wondering that. ON empire side I always play my own side, yesterday played republic and played against Empire.

I've been duoing the entire time and we haven't done much of Tat yet, just got out of Anchorhead. I'm actually hoping you're right and it's a bit harder since we steamrolled through Nar Shaddaa and I would welcome a bit of a challenge to be honest.
Too bad the story is sort of lackluster for the first entire act.

Can you check your hours played anywhere?
Damn. I went male consular so without repeating the entire class (not likely for a long time) I guess I shant be hearing that.
Yes, just type in /played

Game difficulty did seem to ramp up quite a bit when I got to Tat

I'm 18 and I have already too much for my gunslinger. And all are the same kind of attack with small variations (consuming energy, having high cast time, having high cooldown, with possibility to stun, with possibility to stop...)

Aren't you playing with friends? Guild-mate to group with? If you're a tank, finding groups should be pretty easy. That is if you want to truck through potential bad pugs.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yup, that's it, I think I'll be done with my Jedi Knight after act one. Sentinel is just SOOOO bad. I seriously can't beat this Act I boss at level 33. Guess I'll get on PvP tonight and grind for hours on end. So lame.
I was playing with friends then they decided to re-roll and play another class so I've got me, myself and I for the next two months while they hit cap. I am playing healer but I've already been put off by horror stories from a friend's G/F who has been cap for a good couple of weeks. Telling me the groups are on par, if not worse, than your average WoW PUG. So people standing in fires, not interrupting or running out of AoEs that kind of thing.

Geez, are they in for a hurt with hardmodes then. They're pretty challenging.

Really rushed through this game, 50 last week already? Yikes.
Anyways never really had trouble with groups, as long as your willing to talk to people. You simply talk and explain what to do and it gets done *shrug*. Course PUGs are always going to be random in how they work out, always is always will be.

So what is the general consensus on best class right now pve ie: class story with least difficulty spikes, solid skill progression, least amount of bugs, etc.

Probably won't get a straight answer out of anyone. A lot of people keep saying Jedi Knight but it seems fine to me.
On Republic side Smuggler has seemed really balancd and fun. I'm 21 almost 22 Gunslinger and have had no real serious issues.
Yeah, this is totally ridiculous.
She bombed through the content, she's been playing it since beta.
My problem is not to much with grouping as it is getting the groups. If I spend 20-30 minutes trying to find a group only for it to fall through at the first boss because people are brain dead I'll just /ragequit and uninstall.

Time to cancel
Seems pretty reactionary over such a trivial thing. Groups fall apart all the time in MMOs, even with group finding tools. Playing with guildies/friends is always best of course, taking a break might be for the best.

Way to miss the point entirely, while stealth bragging and throwing some elitism in there for good measure.
I DID do the Mu'ru fight albeit in the 2.4.3 nerf, even then it was too easy because the fight just requres gear. The game should be about raid cohesion and intelligence instead of farming for gear. Anyone can get well geared, even when it was super hard. Mu'ru was a super easy fight, you just had to not stand in voids and kill adds.
Try to go into WoW and do a SWP group, people will still die on Kalec and Felmyst because the mechanics themselves are hard. Shit should be about who is playing, not what their character is geared with. Like it is now in WoW.
Don't worry you'll have plenty of credits by the time you need them.
Not really, I did this for many, many months playing DPS in Vanilla WoW. It was the worst most soul destroying experience I ever had with an MMO. I wouldn't be so bothered if I wasn't forced to sit in the capitol like a pillock.
It's all about the people you play with in the end how much enjoyment you are going to get out of the game once the leveling is done.
I am playing with the same Guild that I played with the day Galaxies launched and its just as fun just shooting the breeze while we dominate huttball as it is just doing dailies or other random stuff

Yep, is some kind of crazy... but that's videogames (specially MMO or RPG games). In Skyrim you get less money killing a dragon in the start of the game than carrying a bag of food to some monks later, in WoW you get more money and XP only to talk to someone that is 10 meters away than from saving an entire town in the earlier levels, etc.
About the game, for me is not so much a MMO than a multiplayer RPG. I don't care at all about warzones or huge raiding at level 50. I'm playing the game solo or with some people to finish some quests up to level 50, and then I'll continue with other characters. Or probably I'll level several characters at the same time, to use the crafting. I love the full custom items.
Ya, just weird considering the context.
In Skyrim, no one ever says "kill this dragon and you'll be set for life" that's the difference.

Well, they probably are in recession, also. Is funny that, as a smuggler, I always ask about the price and everybody says "you'll get a ton of money", "you'll be very well compensated", "the republic is rich, you'll get a great reward". I asked how much I will be payed, tell me the credits that I'll get and I'll decide if i make or not the damn quest.
I kinda like not knowing what the rewards will be. It adds some intrigue and is a different way to go about it. It's kind of exciting to go back to your quest giver and see what you're gonna get.

And then you have the great Dragon Age 2 mechanic of additional weakling mobs jetpacking in from nowhere after you aggro a guy.

Don't worry, if money is all you love then that's what you're going to get!
I'm liking the BH quest line.
Me too. I'm doing the three bounties to get in the melee part and so far it's been rad.
Is there a soundtrack to this game? There's a lot of good music and you'd think they'd release one. Also, is it just me or the music that plays a lot in flashpoints and warzones sound just like Wrath of Khan? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=T7BsRGnJXQk#t=14s
Edit: Also, fuck the cunt that spoiled the boss in the foundry. OH HAY GUYS ISN'T *major spoiler* HARD TO FIGHT OR WAT? Fuck you, piece of shit.

Comments are from beta, I'm guess this is the item you need but as to where you get it from details seem a bit sketchy. I assume you've checked the GTN?
