I didn't feel ripped off when the movie was over, so I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but I didn't think it was a very good Star Wars movie. There was nothing really memorable about TFA. Not to mention, it was almost a carbon copy of the original film...seriously, when I saw the empire had another giant, planet destroying weapon, all I could think was "ugg, AGAIN?" Comparing TFA to the original three films, people really connected with the characters in the original movies Luke, Han, Leia, Yoda, Chewie, etc. Yoda was a PUPPET in the original movies and had more gravitas and memorable dialogue than anybody in TFA. Not to mention, Darth Vader was an ICONIC villain. TFA had what? Our villain is Kylo Ren, the emo Vader wannabe who can't defeat a couple nobodys like Finn and Rei. A movie can only be as good as it's villain, and this guy wouldn't even make my top 100 movie villains list. The big "finale" fight in TFA was just ridiculous. Kylo Ren should have snapped his fingers and defeated them, that would have been far more believable. Either Kylo Ren is ridiculously weak with the force, or Rei is Luke Skywalker multiplied by over 9000 with the force. I can't even believe they went with this ending still. That was just bad. Who else did we get in TFA? Finn, the cowardly lion. I could care less about this guy. Also, there's some cocky, hot shot rebel pilot guy I guess I'm supposed to care about, but I don't even remember his name already. Rei is about the only new character I liked. If I was a kid again, and there was no such thing as earlier SW movies, I'm sure I would have thought this movie was awesome. Being old now, it just seemed like a rehash of the first SW film, with none of the heart, charm, or memorable dialogue of the earlier movie.

Quinn is a bootlicking imperial stooge. I can't stand him. Even bugman is more appealing. If they ever get to adding same sex romance options, Quinn will definitely be one of them. I agree with the op though, bugman is a lousy romance option. I'd rather get with Kaliyo than him.

Yeah, vibroknives are pretty sad right now. Armstech can't RE to make better ones, so I used mostly green ones I could craft on my armstech and the occasional blue one that dropped or from commendations. I was actually stoked the other day when a schematic for a L37 blue vibroknife dropped for me. One because I have never seen any other armstech schematic drop, and two because it's a blue vibroknife! Vibroknives and armstech are both pretty sad really.

I have fun playing my op healer, but yeah, I do feel a bit weaker than my BH or sorcerer healers. Merc and sorc healers are pretty ridiculous at all levels in pve, I don't feel that strong on my op.

I went 100% dark side on my powertech, you still get affection pretty easy with her. You just lose some for the really evil things you can do, but you mostly gain or get -1 for most evil decisions. Light side definitely has it easier though, my LS healer merc already has more affection with her at L32 than my evil powertech does at 44. Getting smacked with those neg 30's and the occasional neg 120 adds up I guess.

Scatterguns and vibroknives are currently bugged for crafting, you can't RE them. So there isn't much you can do except look on GTN or get commendation ones.

Beat him today at L30 as a full healer operative, but it took me 4 or 5 tries. There are tons of line of sight problems with pulling him, so you bascially have to just get clobbered to start off to pull him down the stairs. Put your companion on passive until you get him to come down the stairs. I used Kaliyo to tank, but she would die even with constant healing by the time he was down to 40% or so. Then it's just me kiting and hiding behind things to heal myself until I finish him off. Keep corrosive dart running on him while you run and hide. Gets easier after you kill him the first time though. It's definitely the hardest L30 solo story fight I have seen, I thought bounty hunter, warrior, and inquisitor were all much easier (I beat all those in 1 try).

Yeah, it's definitely annoying. The worst being the fly to fleet, click on guy with no dialogue for some puny amount of xp, then tells you to fly to dromund kaas and do some more pointless speeder riding and running before sending you somewhere else. Seriously, can't we just holoterminal most of this?

I would say sniper and operative seem the most uncommon on my server. Don't see many powertechs either. Don't know why, I play a powertech and an operative. They are both fun. Sniper is the only one I haven't played much personally, I tried, but I can't stand the whole cover thing.

It didn't take months to get to L50 when WoW came out. Took me maybe 2 weeks, then I had nothing to do for a week or so because WoW had basically no endgame at all when it came out. I said the same thing about WoW that people say about SWTOR now. Then I canceled before my free month was finished and went back to playing EQ1. Oh, and I was done with college working full time also, so it wasn't like I was playing 80+ hours a week to level either. WoW was just retarded easy after playing EQ1 for 5 years. TOR is just as easy, but it has a lot more endgame at release than WoW did. And arguing that SWTOR should be released with as much as WoW has now is just silly. If that were the case, we would all still be playing EQ1 because there still isn't another MMO that even comes close to the sheer ridiculous number of raids that EQ1 has. Not to mention the enormous level and alternate advancement grind to even get to a point where any endgame raiding guild would want you in EQ1. People complain about lack of content in every MMO I have played...go play through EQ's 16 expansions worth of raiding. It will probably take you at least a year of heavy playing. Sure the graphics aren't that great, but sadly, it's still a better MMO than 95% of the games made since. The truth is, nobody wants to play a game like EQ1 that consumes a huge amount of time anymore. People just want their pvp playgrounds with easy to get purples. Well, now you have it...congrats.

Agree with you on space stations and elevators, they are both quite annoying. I do like when my droid tells me I am looking fit and deadly though. Reverse engineering would be my number 1 fun sucking leech that exists only to waste enormous amounts of time and credits, but there are already plenty of threads about that elsewhere. Running hour long missions and making things with 30 min craft times just to break them apart, then repeat that about 25+ times to get 1 random schematic that you probably don't even want...I'd rather fall down an elevator shaft and die.

^ this Played WoW when it launched for the first free month then canceled. Was L50 after about 2 weeks and there was nothing do but 1 instance pretty much. Canceled and went back to playing EQ1 which had a gazillion times more content than WoW (and still does by the way). TOR already has way more content than WoW had at launch...it could use a lot more sure, but anybody who says WoW was way better at launch either didn't play it at launch or is remembering wrong.

I dunno, I turned on subtitles and read the dialogue mostly. I skip some of the voice acting, although there are some pretty cool cut scenes and voice acting for some missions. A lot of it is repetitive though, especially for side quests. I'm not really interested in the story behind why I have to kill 20 sand people, I'd rather just get busy killing them and move on. Anyway, I don't think voice acting in MMO's is the wave of the future or anything, I would play a game that didn't have any and it wouldn't bother me at all if it was a good game.

Crafting sucks in this game. RE is rubbish. Luck based crafting just doesn't do it for me. Been playing MMO's since EQ1, and this is maybe the worst crafting system I have ever seen. EQ1 was pretty bad too, it took forever to skill up crafts, but your failure odds weren't nearly as bad as they are in TOR with REing. I wish they had just ripped off the crafting system from Vanguard or some other game that had a good crafting system.
