Jumping in this game just isn't fun. I can do it, but it isn't fun and I can understand how people wouldn't be able to, because it's downright weird. When I did that mission I had to pull a groupmate along with my Extricate. I didn't mind doing it though, the less people put through that experience the better.

I am big TES fan, and I greatly enjoy MMORPGs that try something different (like The Secret World). TESO disappointed me on both counts. It felt as if they took Skyrim, picked out all the worst parts of it, and made a new game out of those.

It isn't. Every skill executed by spamming the same button. edit: As in, the keyboard doesn't do the next step without me actively doing a keystroke. It just automatically decides which ability to use.

I hate to break it to you, but making macros in this game is already quite doable, if you feel like it. I can have my keyboard automatically do my whole rotation perfectly if I feel like it. This is also doable.

Khem is my personal favorite. I'd marry him if I could. His storyline is great with you gradually earning his respect - this being a creature that basically views you as food at first - and at the end, was goddamn amazing. Not to mention his own story and how it ends. Xalek seems like he's not going to backstab you despite being your apprentice. I can appreciate that. Or maybe he's just more cunning than me and I end up with a lightsaber through my face, I can't really be sure about my fellow Sith. Oh well, that's how it goes, if he pulls it off he's earned it. Who do I not like? Ashara. I could only tolerate that terrible twi'lek by reading the romance as my inquisitor ruthlessly manipulating her. She has absolutely nothing interesting to say and I'd sacrifice her loving arse the first chance I get. Vette. Yes, please give me rage-fueled warrior a quirky, snarky idiot who disapproves of everything I want to be as a Sith. That doesn't feel limiting at all. Corso. Creep-tastic, even as a male smuggler.

You could easily make a very hard tactical flashpoint, just have it adapt to the group in question. If it's all DPS, it'd be a DPS race; if it's all healers, then it could have the healers outlast the enemy, or have them heal an NPC fighting for them, and so on. The trinity idea is an outdated standard that SHOULD be challenged. Flashpoints don't need to be trinity-focused to be exciting, they just need some work put into them.

Perhaps they'll be hard enough that a hard mode is not needed, and the "story mode" gives usual hard mode rewards? Yeah, I'm deluding myself, aren't I?

The upside is you get a huge clan of idiots on your side. Also, apparently some people think the mandalorians are awesome due to some lore I've totally missed. Yeah, no. No upsides.

Why even bother playing republic? The republic, as you know it in SWTOR, will fall as well. Both organizations live on in different forms, though. That's reason enough for me,

If you don't take it at face value, Ashara + inquisitor is nauseatingly well written. I say nauseatingly, because she seems incredibly naive and the evil inquisitor is more or less manipulating her fragile mind into undying loyalty. What attachment? I don't feel the slightest bit attached to her despite all my "loving words". The game gives you so little reason to be attached to her, so little genuine affection from the inquisitor's side - it's an incredibly abusive relationship. You say all the right things to her, but the inquisitor is far too cold for it to appear genuine.

I don't remember the warrior starting as a slave and through sheer willpower clawing his way up the ranks, with every single person he meets trying to kill him. That said I'm fairly sure Nox would win, given that he has five force ghosts enslaved within him. I have a hard time imagining the bloody emperor himself being more powerful than five ancient ghosts AND Nox himself. To say the lore paints him as being overpowered is understating it. Of course, when it actually comes to in-game combat I have the hardest time beating maras.

Easily Lord Kallig's Scorching Lightsaber for my sorc. It not only looks the best, there's lore reasons to use it.

This'd be more easily fixed by simply automatically locking topics that are, say, two months old.

Better necro a pre-existing topic than make a duplicate one.

Sorcerer. 2.7 seems to go a long way to fixing that, but then it's too late.

Thing here is a lot of classes are severely underpowered in PvP and I'd have to reroll to really have a shot at a great ranking. Any class can be good in PvE. This game isn't balanced around PvP in the slightest.

The comparison between a rancor and the PvE-exclusive mounts isn't really fair, though. All of the PvE ones fall into the category of "Yet Another Speeder" whereas a rancor is pretty distinctly unique from the other living rideables.

Assassin is a fair bit more durable than Sniper or Sentinel given that you have a tanking tree (in my experience, anyway). You'll do fine with a DPS or tank companion, more or less the whole way through.
