This request has been around for years, and BW has never cared to add something. I agree that there should be something, but BW certainly does not agree.

LOUD NOISES!!!! Anyway...I like this expansion too. And I think people are being far too critical. It's okay to offer feedback, but it gets to be so much whining about so many minor things. In a game played by so many, from all walks of life, you can't keep everyone happy. IT. IS. A. GAME.

Male consular voice is horribad. There is no life in it whatsoever. The only voice I have ever heard that's worse is Peter Dinklage's voiceover from Destiny.

Agreed. At the very least a rationalization from BW would be nice...instead we get silence. How do companies just not understand how working with the MMO community works? Ridiculous.

Both! When I started I thought there was NO WAY I would EVER play an Imp. For over a year I just stuck with Pubs...wow was I missing out. I decided to try a couple Imp classes and now, they are my favorite classes to play. While I agree with the overall ethos of the Republic, playing Imps is too much fun! The way Jedi have been written they are so boring in SWTOR...but the imps have personality and range...especially playing light side choices. Don't just stick to one side, play em both and thank me later.

I have rated both story and personality of character. Not enough people really talk about the voice work and dialog selections, but it is a factor. Some are complete some in progress, nut all are level 20+: Sage (Consular), finished: Story 4, Character 3 Mercenary (Bounty Hunter), finished: Story 7, Character 8 Sentinel (Knight), in-progress: Story 6, Character 5 Operative (Agent), in-progress: Story 9, Character 7 Commando (Trooper), in-progress: Story 8, Character 8 Warrior (Juggernaut), in-progress: Story 8, Character 8 Inquisitor (Sorcerer), in-progress; Story 6, Character 6 I think it is important to note, at least in my own experience, that your character have some kind of back story. While it is great that there is a narrative and unique story line for each class, I found that I got *MUCH MORE* out of developing a persona for each character. By this I mean what is the motivation? What is their look? Their race? Their type of armor style. What kind of mount suits them best? This accomplishes a couple things, it gives your character depth, and it gives them framework to stay within. If you are an altoholic like me, having character backgrounds gives each a unique flavor. Hope this helps.

I feel what you are saying--and I wish BW would allow more weapon freedom...but maybe this photo of Jesse Ventura kicking *** in Predator will help. http://mitteleuropa.x10.mx/files/FILM/predator_foto_documentary_jesse_ventura_gatling_minigun_AA_01_01a.jpg

This is a fantastic thread and I just wanted to thank people for the very thorough replies. Helps a newb 50 merc like myself greatly!

So in your world, when you pay for goods and services, you aren't entitled to good customer service or to have any rights as a customer. Wow...it's people like you that companies love. #fleece

I am only level 44, but I don't believe you have to go heals unless you want to be that for grouping purposes. You and Blizz can both be DPS and clear mobs MUCH faster working together.

cxten gave you some excellent advice. For me, more simply, and from a lvl 44 perspective, I tested both DPS builds and found that Arsenal was more fun, but Pyro was more consistent with damage, both aoe and single target.

BW needs to be accountable too. If a user makes an honest mistake then BW needs to show excellent customer service and fix the issue and educate the player. This is what Apple does all the time. And I read happy stories from happy customers how Apple resolves so many issues by simply showing excellent customer service. This is [artially what drives Apple sales and retains customer. Unfortunately, customers like yourself, are why companies like BW don't address these issues in a more positive way. They take advantage of the people that just roll over. We are the customers. We aren't always right, and we aren't entitled to have BW cater to our every whim. However I don't feel the OP was making an unreasonable request. And he is a paid subscriber. And instead of coming to the forums with a story of how BW made it right and possibly retained him for several more months because of excellent customer service; he instead came in here with a complaint that makes me question my own sub from a company that treats its customers like that. /soapbox

Sign me up as loving the new perspective. I was hoping it was a bug only in the sense BW was rolling it put in the near future. I have always hated how zoomed in the intro is. We have great armor and great ships...I want to see more of it!

I have HK-51 on my healer sage at 55, and my 29 sorc is using him, also in heal spec. I have yet to test it in lightning spec--but my sorc is tearing things up since HK kills so damned fast and can take a punch. HK is just a nice option to have...I like Khem enough...but hate almost all the other sorc companions...HK offers you just that...variation. Plus he can be a decent crafter if you decide to shelve him.

What about leveling with HK-51? I've been using him as heal spec and we tear through the content..although I do need to to try lightning spec with HK--maybe the heals I have at base will suffice.
