The toolbar limit is a bit much, kinda gives a bad first impression, as a returning player your first experience is cramming everything into 2 bars... Otherwise it's a good start.

I enjoyed this thread, it was an excellent read. Admittedly I play this game on an old laptop, and aside from the evident snags during resource acquisition plus the @#%$# loading screen (it sits and does nothing at around 20% for upwards of a minute loading anywhere except fleet/my ship), the game is playable. I'm still currently subscribed but have found it increasingly cumbersome to log in recently due to the above issues combined with being stuck on one of the dying servers. I don't expect to get awesome performance, but I have observed a number of sources of slow downs. Quite a few (those discussed earlier in the thread, people coming into view and what not) do seem like they could be related to accessing slower resources (hard drive/network), the OP's conclusions would explain those. Others may also be related to that problem but less obviously, such as particle effects, I've also observed huge slow downs due to those. That may be a separate issue entirely though. While I don't expect the game to perform perfectly on my older machine, I'm of course all for squeezing anything I can get out of what I have. I had high hopes for this game, I really did. As time goes on, though, it becomes more apparent that this game is driven more by the MBA approach than that of someone who's truly passionate, who has a vision. As the status quo remains the bottom line, destiny will be bathed in mediocrity.

Huh? I got Master title on my Knight for finishing the story line. Consulars get it much sooner.

Bah. Wish I woulda saw this sooner.

Hah yea, some dude was a heroine addict neglecting his son or something. And some chick that didn't look bad when she was younger but I guess the Vodka made her fat or something. For some reason it made me think of WoW.

Lol. I guess I'm weird, but this makes me think of that Intervention television show that was on earlier.

I hear ya. I already turned in my grades for Autumn quarter earlier this week (exams were last week) so I'm sitting on a lot of free time myself until next year. As far as trying for world first or any of that, I'm just too old. Not saying it's a maturity thing, more of a I just don't function as well as I used to when I try to replace sleep with caffeine. If someone wants to make that their goal, hey good for them. Not my cup of tea though.

I did in beta, it's all quite redundant to me at this point. Once you've heard most of it, especially more than once, you already know what they said. Missing the main story line is for sure missing the meat and potatoes of the game. There are some missions, though, that aren't part of the class story line that are pretty cool. They tend to come in chains, and even though I watched those cut scenes already I intend to watch them again.

I really don't see how he could be serious man.

Surprised he didn't use 10 different fonts and 3 different colors to add emphasis to his trolling.

Lol, QTF.

I'm not really rushing, but I did this in beta already so unless it's class specific story line it's kind of redundant at this point.

To a dark place this line of thought can take us. Great care we must take.

I am wondering this as well.

I completely agree. Though there is another discussion about this very topic here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=30752
