Empire is the new Alliance!

[Loniel Bonewalker]

Empire is the new Alliance!

I disagree, both sides will be even out when actual launch hits. And well being the new Alliance would be a insult, as Horde was where it was at.

As I've heard, Empire is the new Alliance. Insult intended.

Therefore and thus... when WoW went live, Aliiance was what was rolled the most, because everyone wanted to be Uther etc etc and each side was off in proportions for 3 years before they just finally made all the queues for every server hit which ruined pvp per server.

SWTOR goes live... everyone wants to be Darth Vader... and there you have it. Empire = Alliance.

Thought I'd give my initial thoughts on the game and my main class Jedi Guardian.

Love the game, love the storylines. They keep you interested in the story rather than what level you are. It is a plus in my book. Maybe that will wear off after the the 3rd or 4th alt, but for now it's great. Hopefully with expansions they keep that up.
I love the semi sandbox world with datacrons, hidden quests ect. Exploring actually pays off again.
The Jedi Guardian.
Initially, this class seems a bit lacking out of the gate at level 10. If I recall, you don't even get a taunt until 18 or so.
That is a major flaw IMO. From 10-14 or 15 I was having serious doubts about the class. However, power thru those levels... the rest so far has been well worth it. At 26 I am really starting to love the class. I can actually tank well now, and do decent damage. The Talents really start to bring you into that roll. It's a fun and enjoyable class, plus I get to waive my saber around alot which I know Wsp enjoys!

Anyway, my quick thoughts, back to work. I would be interested to hear what everyone else thinks so far of their class.

Some of the class roles come even later - for Sith Assassin, some of the 3 roles the class can do with talents don't start emerging until llevel 20.

That, said, I agree with Rhedd, even if he is playing a Republic weakling.

[Rhedd]

I will put that on your tombstone as I pull my saber out of you Coral. =D

[Lonskils]

I really hate that they put Rogue/Heal/Ranged Caster on the same damn class. I wanted to be a nuker, but looks like I'll be pigeon holed into a healer with no other options really. No pure caster sucks. Love the game so far though, but thinking of end game I'll be stuck as a resto druid was in MC.

[Rhedd]

Ok someone explain to me what I'm missing. I keep hearing about slicing and mules ect and how much cash it brings it. Why? I can do lock boxes with treasure finding. What's the difference? I did try slicing but its the same with treasure hunting. It's about 50/50 wether the lockbox you receive gives you more or less than the cost of the mission.

Slicing is "better" because you don't have to pay for the mission. You just see a terminal and slice it.

Screw the healing tree!!
I have a lvl 21 Trooper Commando and I went full dps spec. They want a healer, let someone specced for it do it!!
Trooper single target dps is not bad, but their AoE is mmm...mmm.....good.

[Lonskils]

Welp, just doubled my RAM and got a GTX550ti, let's see the game try to do "pauses" now...

[Andaas]

So aside from the Space Slug queue's, how's SW:TOR panning out?

[Rhedd]

They just released the authentication app for android. And it's going well. I think those of us playing it, are enjoying it. Hoss is a bit split up atm. Republic/Empire side, so we might have to merge eventually for raiding. We do have quite a nice mix of dps, tank, and healing atm.
