What kind of companion is Blizz, tank/healer/dps?
Edit: Ohhh, he's a ranged tank, perfect.

I love Nar Shaddaa. Reminds me of Blade Runner. Just need some Vangelis synth as background music.

Yay! Game makes computer crash. I try to login again: "Hello 3 hour queue!"
Will this be fixed for the official release? It's crazy right now.

Loving Mercenary so far. Wasn't a huge fan of rail shot / tracer missile but now that the talents are starting to build up they're great for elites / strong mobs. Just finished chapter one. Absolutely love the class quests.
Faced a first real challenge in this game yesterday - was healing in hammer station as a lvl16 sorcerer. Every fuck up was immediately punished, tank aggro management needed to be perfect as well as my CC and healing skills.
We needed to try final boss 4 or 5 times before finally besting him. was oom in the last minute of the fight, only me and tank survived, was killing last adds with my lightsaber.
Good times.
Managed to reach 18 yesterday and got my ship. go damn, its huge.

Textures are not very compelling in this game

I don't think the high textures are working yet still.

I too, at first I thought Merc was pretty weak, especially in PvP, but I'm learning as I go, and getting some nice skills. Now I can hold my own pretty well in PvP, plus I can last a long time.
Btw, Sweet helm.

Game is still not flowing well on my overqualified computer. I got specifications to run games alot more demanding than this without problems and I still get severe fps drops in most places in the game. Is this a problem alot of people have?

I was joking in some ways (Tri G reference) but, yes, I noticed that the textures look awful for running "High" settings across the board. Can I enable them in an ini somehow like Anti-aliasing?

Wow Nar Shadda looks really awesome. I was hoping Kaas city would look like that but I'm happy with the atmosphere there. Can't wait to get to Shadda now. I know little to nothing about the Star Wars lore and other than what is in the movies, which I haven't watched in a while, but I'm really enjoying reading the codex when new entries pop up. Right now the Sith lore is far more interesting to me.

That's pretty reassuring to know as a fellow Merc. My problem with the game so far through lvl15 is that it feels like I'm still in the nursery, insofar as that every merc looks exactly the same. Tough to build any sort of BH atmosphere when you're wearing whatever was available at the Sith GAP

Anyone know off hand what level or where you can get some nice headgear for a Trooper, I am on Coruscant at Level 14 and only found one head thing while killing random enemies. Tried both the marketplace and the Galactic Trade network but do not see any helmet/head options just implants
Post I wrote up on swtor.com to vent some of my feelings about Bioware/EA's handling of the server queue.
I came home from work to see a 2000+ queue again today, so I had nothing better to do than writing this thing up.

Bioware put us on that server... read the article if u need arguments.

weird I hardly have queue issues on kellars 15 minutes at most.

This argument ...
... holds true for most people on the server. There is no solution for that. People will always flock together.
I'd leave this server as soon as I get the chance. Sadly I'm just not that rich in spare time to create a new character from scratch.
If they offered free transfers then the queues might not be too big of a problem. I am certainly not going to start up the exact same character and go through the exact same content just to get back to where I was already.
People saying "roll on a different server" don't seem to understand two of the major points. 1) Going through the exact same content does get boring and 2) A lot of people won't want to give up time already invested in their current character.
It's really that simple.

Anyone else having error where it looks like the game is about to crash but then you get the TOR screen and it comes back? It's almost like it's resetting the UI.
Had that happen two or three times during the beta but now it will happen everywhere from once an hour to six times an hour. Doesnt matter how long I've been playing for either. Really damn annoying in the middle of fighting.
GTX470, by the way.

Is anyone else doing a Sith Warrior character that they're doing light side responses for instead of just dark side ones? Or vice-versa with a Jedi? I'm about to start on that for one of my alts and I'm just wondering if there's an actual difference in how the story plays out or if it's completely irrelevant.
I fucking love my little Sith Inquisitor.
I can't step away from this game. Must. reach. 50. GAH.
Hey. I think we're relatives.
On my level 25 Juggernaut I've chosen both Light and Dark options. The rest of the quest can play out completely different depending on your choice. For example in one quest, my friend who's also a warrior decided to kill this person, and so his quest ended there. I spared them, and instead had to go off and kill another person. I also got another scene when I went back to the person I saved. It doesn't change the over all plot though, no. It's local to that quest pretty much, bar the dialogue references in other quests.
It is absolutely Bioware's fault. They need to manage server loads. Either upgrade the server capacity (which seems to be pitifully low), or allow for free transfers off the server.
With the amount of instancing that goes on in SWTOR, and the seemingly sparse population in game, I can't even begin to comprehend why the queue times are so long.
We're posting characters? Here's my Sith Asshole:

Server queue is soooooo annoying, and why did my guild have to be assigned to the most populated server.
Yeah....no.
Every server was on light when I started playing. It's totally my fault.
Also textures on gear are getting worse and worse or they never considered anyone actually playing a character with body type #4.
I would actually like to know this also because it seems like there a few gaffers importing it to Australia.
yeh
Man, this game looks so good in places. In others, it looks so low res that you can mistake it for the old x-box KoTOR.
Also, in regards to the gratuitous character pimping, can we at least keep the shot size down a bit? lol.
Click to compare.
Excellent taste, my friend. Such a fun class.

Quick question:
If I were to go to Gamestop today and Pre-Order, I'm assuming I wouldn't get my physical copy until the 20th (even though Amazon says they have it in stock).
So if it thats the case, how do I go about getting my early access to the game and would I even feasibly get access before the 20th launch if they are still sending out waves?

So, does anyone have any experience Tanking with a Sith Assassin? How much does it rely on rogue-ish elements? I ask because I love tanking and would love a double-bladed saber, but I've always really disliked rogue classes mechanics (stealth, combos, etc).
