So much this. I'm playing an Operative, and Stealth saved me so many frustrating moments. I skipped one quest on Balmorra, went to Arms Facility, did that, turned in all the quests, noticed a new one, that required me to go like that:
Firelands ---> Facility ---> 2nd Level ----> Outside ---> Adm. Bulding
I was able to stealth all the way through without attacking a single mob.

My companion does when I start convos on speeder...
This, they won't always visually be there cause of it, but I always get the appropriate affection regardless. Worst case, just hit esc and redo it
Just put out my last PVP video before I start making tutorials.

Top the scoreboards when your team loses and people bitch you out because you were "going for last hits and trying to AoE to pad stats".
Yep, sounds like the Republic. (Didn't use a single AoE the entire match, all it does is hurt my output because they never hit anything anyway. I only very rarely use them on Voidstar. Last hits have zero impact on stats or medals outside of the very first one you get, not sure why I'd care about those either.)
The salt is strong with so many people over PvP. Reminds me why I love it.

You still can in 'Dance Zones'.
Quick question: If a buddy and I both end up rolling Troopers (Him tanking, me healing) will we be able to duo the story missions? With they count for both of us or would we have to have to have one person zone in and complete his mission, then zone out, reset the instance, and have the second person zone in to complete his mission?
Also, how is Trooper Tanking? Is ranged tanking really weird?

I think that you are only allowed one trooper in the story bits @ one time. If not it definately won't count for both
you may have to do it twice, if its allowed and i dont think i tis.
otherwise you could just grind the crap out of them with groups.
Vanguards are melee tanks.
You can duo the mission, but it will only count for one of you. Everything will have to be done twice. I would really recommend playing two different classes.
Yeah, I'm so happy I played a stealth class first. Some areas are just stupid. Bioware just really loves to throw unnecessary amounts of trash at your face.
Rank 45, opened over 70 bags.
I must be at 20 bags and all I have to show is a stupid hat.
Man, that's so incredibly depressing. I only want to play a healing class, but holy god I don't want to be a lame Jedi. I've already got a Smuggler.....damn. Oh well, I'm just going to be the worst Republic Jedi that I can. Straight.Up.Evil. Now I'm just excited about murdering everyone!
It's pretty fun and not too weird. You get a few skills to close the distance between you and the enemy, and most of your damage comes off Stockstrikes/High Impact Bolts.
Sucks bro. Fight the good fight, you'll beat the RNG eventually. ;_;Yeah, I'm so happy I played a stealth class first. Some areas are just stupid. Bioware just really loves to throw unnecessary amounts of trash at your face.

Sages are really incredible. Fantastic damage dealers and the best healing class when traited and geared properly.

Agreed completely. Killing 50 mobs just to get a quest objective is grindy as hell. I like stealthing to quest objectives. It makes the game a lot more enjoyable to me.
+10000
WAY to many mobs.
I got to the point where I would just run through dungeon to where my objective was, let the 500 mobs chasing kill me, respawn, trigger the objective, then QT out.

The worst is when it's not a 'green door' quest and you have to fight your way in, do the quest objective, then fight your way OUT because they all respawned behind you. So frustrating.

The amount of mobs is really not that bad, the game makes it usually really easy to sneak past most mobs even if you don't have stealth abilities. Found more direct confrontations and mobs in Star Trek Online which made no sense. Game has least downtime between fights due to the auto recovery abilities everyone has, you plow through mobs much faster than most MMOs.
Most story quest instanced areas don't respawn enemies at least.

Healers are always one of the slower class types to go through confrontations outside of group content in MMOs. At least here you have companion to help you through the fights.

Plus stealth to completely avoid it.
Mando healers don't get stealth.

It was confirmed as canon that Revan was a male and that the Jedi Exile in KotOR II was a female.
Oh I don't doubt they are great healers....I just hate Jedi. I'm sure I'm going to be more than pleased with how the class works and heals.
Another question: What is the earliest that a Trooper and Consular could meet up? I remember leaving Ord Mantell way before I got my ship, but I don't remember how, where I went, or what level it was at. Was it straight to the fleet, then a shuttle to Couruscant? So around level 10 or so?
1.0.2b Patch Notes 1/5/2012
General
Fixed an issue that could cause in-game chat channels to stop functioning for some players.
Classes and Combat
Bug Fixes
Social emotes (like /getdown) can no longer interfere with combat.
As soon as you leave the starter planets, which means each of you will be around level 10. Theoretically you will first meet on the fleet.
Might be able to go earlier using the emergency fleet pass.

Lot of it was confirmed a while ago, plus they go into alot in the Revan novel
Wouldn't that skip part of the class quest though? I guess I could just power through class quests only. Hrmm, I might run an experiment and see just how quickly I could get a Consular and Trooper to the fleet and still be able to progress the story.
You can go back at any time.
I was ticked at myself the other day because I accidentally chose medium armor over heavy armor for an orange robe from a quest reward on Coruscant. But now I have received 2 more orange robes from quests in the subsequent quest hubs. Now I have to decide whether I want to be cape Jedi or robe Jedi.
Also, why do Jedi robes give you massive badonkadonk? In the preview window it looks normal but in practice I could sit a cup on that booty.

They mentioned it in the q&a with Reid on Reddit. Seems to be an animation issue that is causing it to puff out and look like a big ass, they seem to be aware of it too. Hopefully they try and fix it.

You don't kill Revan. You get him down to about 8% and then he's like "I'll get you next time!" and then peaces out. This is in the foundry, btw. I have no idea if you fight him again later.
Yeah that boss fight is the first boss fight Me and my friends found tough, took six attempt (four had disconnects heh). Great dungeon that and I got the mount drop
