~20GB. I'm on my laptop so I can't give you the exact number.
Damn the performance seems to have gotten worse. I'm only level 7 jedi knight, doing the flesh raider quest just trying to figure out how to even play an MMO. On top of the already poor performance, I'm getting the black screen flashing that others are describing.
Have they acknowledged frame rate issues at least? I'm running it on a 580, and still get janky gameplay.

Performance depends more on your CPU than GPU. That said, I have a Sandy Bridge i7 and the game can slow to a crawl now and then...
This is too weird bc i get buttery smooth fps all the time 480sli. 4ghz i7 8gb ram. Ssd.
Except that in the case of the above, it actually does mean that.
Until they removed the speeder points, people were streaming in all day long to see what all of the fuss was about and promptly getting spawn trapped. I was in Ilum for that entire day, and it was the same thing all day. I managed to avoid getting spawn trapped repeatedly by queuing for Warzones and getting in one after a 15-25 minute queue. Kind of annoying to fly all the way back from the fleet and dodge the tunnel gank every time I died, but meh.
It takes 40GB fully installed for me. Don't let Billy lie to you.

Uhh its 20.6 GB for me. Sure you don't have an older client or something installed as well?
Magenta Crystals are insanely easy to acquire. If you guys don't know hit me up. Can easily acquire with 3-4 (geared) people.
The Artiface patters on the other hand, are completely RNG-based, much like everything else in James Ohlen's galaxy.
Also speaking of Developers, I really hope someone at BioWare comes to their senses and sacks Gabe Amatangelo. Yet another MMO where has proven to be completely incompetent in designing and maintaining PvP combat.
This post in general sums up my feelings on the Ilum / Daily fiasco:

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
That's the same bit they used in the ROFL vid.
I was wavering in the 10-20 fps range until I saw a thread in the SWTOR forums that said to remove the Graphics_mirror.ini and client_settings.ini files from C:/Users/YourName/AppData/Local/SWTOR/swtor/settings and start the game up again.
Now I get like 40-60fps in most places. Still drops below 30 sometimes, I think the game definitely does suffer from memory leaks.

No amusing music backdrop, so its boring. Booooo.
Look, I couldn't compress the file size down so I had to spend 140 minutes uploading that video to Youtube. You damn well better like it!
Pretty much. You could wait, and save the Heroic quests to do with your friend

Crafting will not improve until 400-points items will be BoP and provide significant advantages over not having them. Much like WoW, except creating the equivalent of Jewelcrafting.
The whole crafting system looks much like most of SWTOR now - good ideas, then SOMEONE figured they need to make it like WoW to attract people. So now you have kind of a monster - some great features in principle (sending companions on missions, etc.), without much goal at lvl 50.
:x
Haha, our Empire rival guild was complaining about this in vent today. The only Imps who finished their dailies were ones who camped the armaments for literally 8 hours.
No Pubs in sight, not after what happened yesterday. Almost nobody finished their daily, and nobody in my guild finished the Ilum or Warzone dailies.
Completely broken and pointless. At cap the game might as well be PvE only on my server.

Okay, I took the plunge, and now I've got a bit of a wait while the thing downloads and installs. To occupy my time as I wait, what do you guys recommend as a healing class Republic side? I've read up a bit on Seers and that's about it. I pretty much always play a healer in these things. Any recommendations or things to think about if I want to fill that role?
Sages/Sorcs are by far the best healers in the game right now.
Uninstalled everything. Redownloading now.
Crafting will have plenty of purpose in terms of marketability. It's the rakata items that are the problem, the issue would be moot if it were simply reusable items of the same quality as non-reusable variety (Crafters would make more money, could just spend it on stims/medpacs/etc). I'm fine with how WoW does things, but I'm a big fan of tradeskills being purely economic endeavors - why should you need a benefit? pick one that you like and milk it for credits while spending credits on things you need from the other professions.
I'm famous! Er... I mean, those cheating bastards!
Incredible.
Only way to get the dailies done, I guess.
It's for the valor...did you see that spam? ugh. That's still disgustingly faster than WZs.
They should put Ilum back to the way it was and make it so that the entire faction gets faster crew skill missions for every base the faction controls. Leave the Daily as is, but take away the valor per kill (keep the valor boost for WZs.)
That way you still need to kill, but there's also a big incentive for the faction to control the planet.

Yes.
When we've downed both hoth world bosses they dropped nothing, but the belsavis boss seems to always drop the crit and endurance schematics. I haven't seen the power one drop, and we used to farm him.
No. There's hardly any blades for qyzen and they're all un-modifiable.
Mine is 19.5 GB
Yeah same for me. My eyes revert back to green instead of orange.

Does the the non mod stats (min max damage, armor, etc) barely matter at all? Been hearing that people just pick the armors and weapons they like that are moddable and just stick with those and keep up with mods.
Maybe that's why I never feel any stronger/less squishy after picking up a new weapon/gear or whatever.

Good times on Empire GAF last night. Did a couple flashpoints and then facerolled people in PvP. Scored my first Huttdown too!
I heard someone mention a couple pages back you can craft orange gear for armormech? Where do I get the schematics for that?

Did the patch improve performance?
My PC comepletely died on the day of the patch, I formatted and installed Windows 7 (64 bit), I previously had Vista pro (64 bit).
My framerate perfomance and loading time on planets is vastly improved. Outside of the new OS, I have the exact same hardware

Ah strange, like I said last night there wer 4 crit crystals on the GTN so I bought one, they were all 300k ish, there was 1 power crystal but he wanted 500k for it so I went the cheap option.
I've heard they are quite rare and sell for a lot when they do appear for sale.
I found one on the Auction House (Galactic whatever...) for 3K, lol. Everyone I group with seems to be freaking out as there are unable to find one

While the orange belt and bracers are nice, specially for lvling, a crafted purple with an augment for those slots is far superior at 50.
