LOL, I ETS'ed 2 months before Saddam Insane went into Kuwait, only desert I ever saw was Fort Irwin in CA.(NTC - When Russia was still considered our OPFOR) As for trolls they are kind of like zits, if you keep them clean and ignore them they will go away after a short while. Nothing wrong with the Light Side, as long as you know peace is a lie... P.S. As far as my oldest,(leaving for basic in 2 weeks) I really do not want to make any comments. I have an EXTREMELY negative attitude on using a military force as a police force, this creates too many conflicts of interest, which results in a lot of unnecessary deaths.(on both sides) I am gonna start rambling for hours, so I will just stop this now

1. I do not do end game PvE, as I am a PvP player. WHile I have been to KP, it was only to get Biometrics.

1. At first it was Sorc, until I seen that it was way overplayed, so I switched to Operative. I did take them all to PvP just to get a "feel" and feel that Operative is the most fun to play in PvP. I am really disapointed in the end game and with all the changes coming next month, it might just kill the game for me.

1. Remember I was not in any of the beta tests, when I paid for the game(in late Dec.) I did not even know that Imp and Pubs were nothing more then mirrors, let alone that Sorc and Assassin shared the same story.

1. Really do not have a favorite class, most of the classes can hold their own in PvE, IMO the Sorc is the one that has the most versatility.

1. Did not mess with them at all - I knew by the time I hit 50 with all the classes, a guide would be posted with all the loc's.

1. I am permantly disabled because of something I did in the military, however it was not related to military duty.(Driving at speeds of 120MPH+ is not a wise thing to do on a motorcycle, truth be told I was not at fault for the accident, however that does not help me) The wife is the bread winner in the family, although I have coached soccer for many years my youngest(twin 17 year olds) are about out of the house, so I do not coach anymore.(She still plays soccer, however because of being disabled I cannot anymore, the disability gets worse with time)

1. As of this post level 35.

1. Best class is a matter of playstyle. If you do not like to tank, I would go with Sorc for ranged DPS, off heals and you get a tank as a companion at the start. If you are more of an "in your face" type of player go for Marauder or Jugg.(offense spec the Jugg, not for tanking) If you like stealth I would pick Operative over Assassin as IMO Operative as slightly more of a "rouge" feel to it then Assassin. BH Merc NOT Powertech is also a fun ranged DPS.

1. Built myself - 8 Gigs RAM - Q6600 proc - 80Gig SSD and a 120 Gig Raptor.(Put SWTOR on Raptor - no idea why not on SSD - did not know much about game so did not know if I was going to play through it or not) - GTX 550 TI - Windows 7 Home Premium. Only lag I have seen is in end game PvP. 2. No, but I should... 3. I don't like having 30-40 different skills, with only 2 hot bars in the middle. Was surprised it did not have auto attack, however have not played DCO. Mostly though when you hit 50 you only really have a rotation of 4 or 5 skills. 4. No. 1.12 has quite a few things I do not like.(I really do not like the attempt to homogenize the player base) I am looking forward, somewhat, to Diablo 3 in May and also I am hoping that the dev that picked me up, moves on his project. 5. I have commented before that I did not like the crafting system, extremely easy to level(which means everyone will do it, which means no robust economy) and in order to craft the decent end game items you are forced to PvE.(I am a PvP player) It is not horrid, just rather "dumbed down". 6. I liked having the different companions, even though I did not use all of them. I did do their quests, had relationships, and send them on tasks all of this adds to a positive experience. Also none of my characters use healers for end game OW PvP.(although the server I play on is dead in OW pvp, so I nascar Ilum when I am forced too) Did not use ship droid as he was useless at the start and useless at the end.(for PvE/PvP play) I feel the intent of the devs concerning him was to be more of a crafter/lobie mission runner, which he did just fine. The Assassin, I just sucked it up till he got his healer. If the droid as a healer worked for you let me know, maybe I missed something? 7. Did not really have a favorite planet although Tat was kind of cool. I did play KOTOR many years ago, however I played SWTOR as an MMO not really looking for things to fit into the movies/game. I am sure the game stays true enough to keep players happy that have followed the movies/game. 8. This is why I PvP, because of server resources, only so much can be put into mob AI, so I never really expected a challenge, and did not get one from the AI. I did have a couple end game boss fights that I needed a friend to run through with me. You have to remember the devs have to make the game so that "everyone" can do the quests. While I was not challenged, this is an expectation in the MMO industry, however this usually changes in end game raid content, since I PvP, I cannot comment on the PvE end game difficulty. In PvP I know that I will be challenged every time I go into a WZ or Ilum.(if the server had a population that could support Ilum) Yes sometimes you "violate" the other side, and sometimes you face a premade when you are in a PUG and get violated, that to me is fun and entertainment, I would be absolutely bored out of my mind if I did end game PvE. Monotony destroys my brain and makes me wanna pull my hair out.(LOL) 9. Of course But for me it was all about lowering downtime between pulls, thereby increasing the rate of exp gain and leveling. I will be the first to admit that is is MUCH more fun to play with a non-healer companion. I really like Warrior/Wilsaam and BH/Blizz. 10. I view the game a little differently then most, I think. I see each character as a "black box" that can cause/heal/mitigate "X" damage over "Y" time. Don't get me wrong, while I may not attach myself to any character or class, it greatly adds flavor to the game when you have companions, relationships, side quests, storyline etc... As an example of this I really enjoyed the Sorc storyline over the others, even more then the Assassin. You might ask why over the Assassin, because they share the same storyline. The Assassin should assassinate people, but the Sorc had that constant power struggle with her superiors and destroyed them all in the end, much more value of that storyline to the Sorc then the Assassin. 11. Strictly as a gamer, I feel the thing that needs changed the most is end game PvP, and with 1.2 it seems the devs are going the wrong way with it. Ilum needs a complete overhaul, and removing the gear differences simply destroys all the effort of all the players for all the time they have PvP'ed up until 1.2.(You will be able to buy champion like equipment for coin, players will all have the same gear to start, etc...) Here is some 1.2 info so you can see what I am talking about. http://feature.mmosite.com/swtor/upcoming_1.2_update_in_swtor_and_beyond.shtml

1. I have not lived with my mother since 17. 2. Being loney with a wife, 4 children(grown) and 2 grandchildren is humanly impossible. 3. I am not "rich". 4. on the 7th and 8th walkthrough of each planet it did get a little monotonous.(However since I have done this before that was to be expected.) 5. Well there is this street corner in town...(LOL - Life without a sense of humor is not life)

1. Well, I never grinded any characters, just run them through the quests on each planet.

1. Ven Zallow

1. I grabbed someone in zone and had them help me with that on my Marauder. I solo'ed most of the end game class quests, however that one I oculd not. This has nothing to do with gear I simply think that it is a little out of balance. Grab a friend and run through it with him.(Even with a friend still use a healer companion.)

1. I have never lost any companion forever.(You "might" lose one for a short time, but not forever)
