I thought it was just a glitch in the email system and was intended for this weekend. Works for me... assuming I can get in tonight. No luck so far. I saw the toon builder once, haven't made it into a server yet. |

Welp played the game for a bit yesterday and have some observations.
The combat system is a little sluggish/laggy. With no auto-engage feature, you have to manually target each new enemy and if you are playing a saber wielding class this can bleed precious time with having to turn around, target and engage them. With enemies often spread out you can find yourself in a world of hurt as you have to close the distance with each. Suffice to say my first play through with a Sith Inquisitor was not enjoyable. Graphics are about 5 years out of date. Even with everything turn to the max it does not look any better than KoTor. Storyline is pretty good so far. It gives the feel of playing KoTor in an MMORPG instead of the normal grind like WoW. Voice-acting is superb, and you get lots of good lines to choose from during cutscenes. Moral decisions are also pretty good and you can lean pretty far in terms of light and dark in either faction. Gear- Meh, maybe I have not got far enough, but when I get a hutt-ese jacket, and then get a spicer -reinforced jacket, they should look different when I put them on. Character creation- sucks ballz. If you want to be a human its decent, but every other race is bad, the twi'leks all look the same (you can't even reposition their lekku). Cyborg is a useless filler race (humans with metal face jewelry), and the others are just as bad. So far I give it a 6/10. Good, but not great. Nothing really innovative besides the full voice acting. IMHO they should have taken the combat system from Tabula Rasa if they wanted things to be exciting. |

Cyborg is a useless filler race (humans with metal face jewelry), and the others are just as bad. There's an option to auto-target nearest enemy when you attack. It greatly speeds things up. Turn that on, then use the lunge attack to right up on 'em. And, yes, the character creator sucks bad. Hopefully they just threw something together there. I'm pretty sure we're looking at simplified graphics. I've seen some screenshots I probably shouldn't have seen (friends at Bioware) and they looked way better. Today I'm going to try something, though. Atl-enter to go into a window, then drag it across all 3 monitors. Usually that blows up whatever I'm running, and I expect the same this time, but it'll be really cool looking. |

That was fun, but it's about to make my life expensive. I need at least one new monitor so I can run the thing in 4320 x 900. I got to level 12 with a Jedi Sentinel and a pair of red sabers and all that damn running got real old, real fast. They need to add personal vehicles. When I started SWG the mounts and vehicles were new and not everyone had one. I spent the first couple of weeks running everywhere. Screw that.

This is going to sound nuts, but one of my fondest memories of WoW was running my L1 Orc ALLLLLLLLLL the way across the barrens so I could start in the Tauren start zone with my wife's toon on launch day. In vanilla 1.0, roads were not safe and I died a dozen times along the route trying to dodge the barrens critters. Running around an MMO is not *all* bad. |

I just had a bad thought. They're gonna make it do nothing but replace whatever speeder you get from the travel pad things, which means I'll still have to run my ass off all over the damn place. |

Biggest complaint right now is the Anti-Alias is disabled. Getting tons of it when I visited Kaas (?) with all the sharp edges.
Anyone seen an advanced class tree "configurator"? With 40~ advanced skill points to put into 3 trees, I was hoping there would be a website out there that lets you do a simulation of applying your advanced skill points to see where all to put them ahead of time instead of making shit up and hoping to pick a good path. I do think you can respec your advanced class, but rather do it right the 1st time around. I want to do the Sith Sorcerer with main focus on the lightning tree and some in the healing tree. That way I can still dish out dmg and heal group members. I know when I played SWG there were a few sites setup to let you simulate it and show you want you end up with. Looks like I found a calculator http://r2-db.com/skill-tree/calculator |
