When you say massive how many people are you expecting to drop within the first 3 months? 40%?
Well, after work today, I'll be giving DPS Guardian a try. Going up the middle tree looks fun. Get access to Shien form and good buffs all around. Guardian DPS looks like it'll be heavy hitting type of bursty damage unless I'm mixing it up with the Force tree.
Curious if I should switch up professions... hmm....
Also, I sure hope they provide a way to change appearance in game soon. My guy's eyes look...well, he doesn't look right. He's like flat shaded almost. =/

So my cat woke me just after maintenance, and because i am an addict I decide to play for a bit despite it being 4am my time. Major sleepy +healer bad idea.
Anybody having luck selling biochem junk I have yet to sell even one item, I am really starting to regret my choice.
I want to get a Naga or a keypad like the g13 anybody have suggestions?

Which again is a bit annoying, dont get my wrong its a great game but honestly it cant be hard to add in a few more skin colours.
Pretty confused about the Rattataki race i assume its supposed to be so you can create a Asajj Ventress clone but she is one of the Dathomirian. The Rattataki have a very small role in star wars as a whole.

Frankly so far I find the Inquisitors to feel very OP. Besides great healing, they do good damage still and they are not fragile at all. They are already fairly tough and then they got some of the best CC on top of that? Can see why it seems like the most played class, keep getting in groups of nothing but Inquisitors

I use the Razer Nostromo best piece of computer hardware i ever bought since my old 486 dx2
Crafting wise, i would suggest taking the mission skills... diplomacy, underworld trading and investigation, you can get money, darkside/lightside points, schematics and companion gifts, all of which will earn you money and/or character advancement with little associated cost.
Then when you reach 50 and have enough cash to burn, level a crafting skill.
Just finished the Essels and I think it was the most fun I had with an instance. On the downside, I don't think I'll play it again, because it was pretty long because of the story and when stripped of it, it all came to simple tank & spank.
Also, I noticed that print screen doesn't work during cutscenes. >_>

Dathomirian doesn't seem to be a race as they see to have a mix of humans, zabraks, Rattataki, etc. There likely isn't really a race that is native to the planet and it's more of a melting pot of species.
Ventress was a Rattataki for years before the CW created the whole story of her being from Dathomir. At the time of TOR the Dathomirian's likely don't exist yet.

They aren't going to do that this early into it. They basically are just going to open more servers.

Thanks will try the crew skill thing.
As for the Nostromo is it fairly easy to get used to I mostly just want something to speed up skill usage and or targeting, no target of target or assist through target makes healing especially painful at times.
Edit:have a big head start on diplomacy but not had much luck selling the gifts (I just charge whatever the gtn suggests) so far.

How much more comfortable is that thing versus using your normal KB?
I understand that they are most likely not going to allow players to transfer yet. (I'm not even sure they have the technology in place for that yet)
But they know the exact population numbers and they also know how much they would have to lower it to bearable queues (30min in my opinion is fine).
So what they could do is that during a maintenance period move selected guilds to newly created servers to lower the population on Tomb of Freedon Nadd.

Getting the guilds to go along with this will be tough, and doing it themselves just is a mess. Really only hope is for guilds to themselves decided to move. My GF's guild who has over 200+ members decided to go somewhere else early on and basically told all it's guild members they were going to a less populated server, and to one that wasn't full of Goon Squad idiots
It doesn't help that naturally new players will choose to go to a server that is more heavily populated when creating characters than go to a light server since they want to play where most players are. So besides the guilds you get tons of players flocking to where there is lots of activity.

I got in last night with no problem. No waits or anything at 7pm eastern. Hrm.
Sell the low level gifts and store the blue/purple ones to sell later. Economies tend to be sluggish when the game is filled with low level characters. As soon as it matures, you will be sitting in a pile of credits.
Your right when you say healing is a pain, guess we will just have to do it old school untill a proper UI comes along.
Personally i changed the group window to the raid window as default and changed the width and height of the raid frames to be more visible. Also unlocked the frames to be right above my own character frame...
Its not much but it helps
Theres no comparison possible, like night and day really. Im almost as comfortable as if playing with a game-pad on the couch... hard to explain but you have to try it to believe
+1. Never healed before. Super fun.

So I've played a Sith Warrior to level 11, a Bounty Hunter to level 12, and last night I got my Sith Inquisitor to level 9... I feel the Inq is the weakest of the bunch. Do they suddenly bloom in power in a few levels? Because I'm at like 30% health after taking on a group of 2 or 3 enemies with one being a silver elite (or whatever they're called).
I came home at 14:30 hoping to play for a bit. Then do some homework in the afternoon and pull an allnighter in SWTOR afterwards...
It's 16:25 now and I've still got 300 people ahead of me in the queue. I really hope something will be done about this, because at this pace I'm lucky if I even get in before the night starts to fall.
It's ridiculous imho, I demand compensation. *insert I'm a paying customer rant*

Use fraps, it can screenshot everything
Well, it is the first flashpoint. They can't do too much crazy stuff that early on.
High level drop.

First flashpoint on both sides is very easy tank and spank, you can easily do them without a healer too

How do you sell crafted goods besides at vendors? I keep hearing about auctions but have no idea how that system works.
I saw a guide somewhere, but I can't find it.
Basically you can get the color crystal from some vendor gun and put it in your lightsaber.

I will try this as well, the issues I have is mainly switching to dps and back to heal really eats too much time to be worth it on hard fights. Even with points to speed it up, the sage's big heal is kind of on the slow side which compounds the issue.
It´s called the GTN - Galactic Trade Network. It´s basicly the auction house system and works the same as in any other mmo that has it.
Take a look in your map when you reach Dromund Kaas (Empire capital, second quest planet) or Coruscant (Republic capital, second quest planet).

That is terrible. I shudder to think what the queue on my server will be when I get home in 1h.
TBH stuff like that can REALLY damage the game (reputation). Nobody wants 2h queues.. maybe 20m max.

Heh randomness of ebay. Bunch of malgus statues on there with no bid yet theres a couple with high bids already. One for 102 already when theres many not bid on yet
It's the major downside of not releasing a server list imo. By the time I'd learned it was a Spanish/Italian community server I'd put 10 hours into it and then by the time the queues became ridiculous, 20 hours. And they want people who have put all this time into their chars already to pick another server instead of stopping people from creating characters on it for a while or more harshly just giving the Spanish and Italian communities a server of their own. I don't think they'd care much if their language wasn't officially supported and it'd reduce the strain on by far the most popular server :/

Anybody know what the status is for the rest of us on early access? Is everyone supposed to be in today, or has something gone screwy with my early access code or something
Second wave is 40 minutes late for some reason.
Reid tweeted that barring any major disaster, everyone else should be in today. Apparantly we might be in said major disaster right now!

I was in the queue for pretty much the same time yesterday.
Bioware and EA can get fucked if they think I'm going to waste time like this, let alone pay for it. They need a major assessment over population distribution right now.
Yes, I two manned it last night. It's not very hard.
--
Side note, I ended up with two CE's and I'm conflicted. Return for refund or flip?
Yeh not to offend the spanish/italian community but it's really damn annoying to see those guys jamming general chat with their gibberish.
I'm really starting to contemplate switching servers just because of this, but ofcourse that's just what Bioware wants me to do.... so I wont ><
Also my loyalties lie with the GAF guild so I'm pretty much restrained to that server. If the opportunity comes to move, I'm definitely taking up for a vote with the guild.
Bioware should've seen this coming though... it almost seemed like they implemented 50% of all euro pre-formed guilds to the 4 full servers and let the rest just choose whatever server they wanted.
It might be server pop concerns... 1/3 of the euro servers are already full and it's only 3pm.
I hope things will simmer down a bit after the first week or so, either that or they'll have to do something....

'Cause the vendor costs 1,000,000 credits otherwise.
It pisses me off to no end we get nobody races like the rattataki and miraluka when there are interesting races like rodian and calamari that are ignored (even though there are some npcs). Don't give me that "we're worried about helmets clipping" bullshit either, you put friggin twi'leks in the game.
