BioWare should have done what the first Final Fantasy MMO did. You have buddy keys and the only way to get on the server you want is to get a code from a friend already on the server, otherwise you'll be placed on a server automatically, ie low pop ones. However knowing this community, that would be seen as the worst thing ever and the crying about being forced on servers would be non-stop. Sometimes people just need to realize whats in their own best interest and let the dev do whats best.

All you have to do is put all of our stealth abilities, yes all 2 of 3 of them, next to each other. Presto! You have yourself a Stealth bar! Your Welcome.

I would try something more like this http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200Mc0MZhGMRkhMrtzZc.1 Like others said you are absolutely doing it wrong if you are using Dark charge in a DPS spec. and in PvE more force regen and lower CD on a agro drop is more important then a better Force slow so move points from Static cling to Fade.

Not sure what alignment has to do with it. The Double blade you get when you pick your AC is Orange, just update the mods every so often, which is very easy to do with commendations on each planet

People calling exploit need to get informed http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=222258#edit222258 If someone wants to lvl that fast then so what? Its none of your business how others choose to play.

Personally I think madness is better for lvling. The bottom tiers of Madness there are talents that directly effect Damage output, while for Deception the good damage talents and abilities are higher in the tree. I'll be lvling as Madness then at some point in 20's or 30's will be switching over to Deception.

Others covered the the "Up to 5 days" part. What I want to ask the OP and anyone else who agrees with him is, what do you think you have paid for so far? Most Pre-order retailers don't charge until the game ships, and for those that charge a $5 fee, that fee is just a pre-order charge and that $5 gets applied to the cost of the retail box. So what you paid for is the game and nothing more. Early access was a privilege not a right.

Yeah because those getting in now and Today are the only ones that will get in for the rest of Early Access... oh wait.

This is a re-post of the SI info thread from the previous forums. posted it here as this is a general SI info thread. Enjoy. All info contained here is taken from direct dev quotes and officially released media, interviews, hands on demo's etc. Sources to the info as well as videos and concept art are at the [jumpto=Links]Bottom[/jumpto]. Advanced Class Specific Guides Assassin Sorcerer Class video Holonet Page Sith Inquisitor Aspirant to the Dark Council “Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.” General Starting Planet: Korriban Class Ship: Fury-Class Imperial Interceptor Based off Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine) and Darth Maul (for melee combat) Can be ranged DPS/Healer or melee DPS/Tank Advanced class choice made at level 10, where you gain access to three skill tree's Uses force points for pacing mechanic Able to deflect blasters from front or back Uses Single blade or Double bladed light sabers Whether the Inquisitor wields a Lightsaber with lightning-sharp attacks, or just Force Lightning itself, it’s always a dazzling display of deadly energy. Expertise in conducting Force energies further allows Inquisitors to draw upon the life essence of themselves and others. This energy can be channeled to bolster their powers, harm their foes, and even to reinvigorate their allies. An Inquisitor’s skills with a Lightsaber are equally impressive. Often wielding a double-bladed Lightsaber, Inquisitors use quick, guileful, and lethal maneuvers to strike their enemies down with astonishing speed. Channeling this Force energy, Inquisitors are capable of draining the life from their enemies and using it to feed themselves and their allies. Voice Actor's Female - Xanthe Elbrick Male - Euan Morton Advanced Classes Sorcerer The Dark Side holds dangerous secrets – and immense power for those who dare to uncover them. The Sorcerer reaches into the darkest corners of the Force to harness volatile energies that can wreak devastation on his enemies and bolster or even heal his allies. The air around a Sorcerer crackles with dark energy, and those foolish enough to get in a Sorcerer’s way soon learn a new definition of suffering. Ranged Damage Dealing, Healing (Based on Palpatine) Single Saber Force Lightning / Force Drain Ranged DPS or Healer Lightning and control powers More of a sorcerer than you are a lightsaber-wielder. You operate at range. "When you decide to specialize, you can really focus on the lightning abilities and being more of a longer range character and a support character you know, where you get to like take out five guys with a giant lightning storm or lift them up into the air and then crash them down into the ground." Skill Trees Lightning - Channels the Force to overload the Inquisitor's enemies with blasts of lightning. Corruption - Uses dark power to maintain allies' health in battle, and protect them from enemy attacks. [*]Assassin Speed and deception are the tools in the Assassin’s arsenal. Whether using stealth to infiltrate a Republic base and remove a high-profile target or tactfully entering a large-scale battle, the Assassin’s dual-bladed Lightsaber flashes with deadly precision to provide a relentless offense and when necessary, a formidable defense. The Assassin can channel the Force just as easily, mentally assaulting an enemy and manipulating a confrontation to ensure his side maintains the upper hand. Melee Range Damage Dealing, Tanking (Based on Darth Maul) Wields the Saberstaff/Double Bladed Saber Burst Melee DPS Uses Stealth - Has both a toggle to go Stealth and a in combat Stealth. Tanking via "Darkness" Skill tree which includes abilities to increase defensive Lightsaber capabilities and area-of-effect damage. The Sith Assassin's tank spec is more of an avoidance type in PvP. You'll end up blocking, dodging, and that kind of stuff as opposed to having natural mitigation within your armor like a Bounty Hunter or a Trooper Vanguard. The Sith Assassin can, if skilled appropriately, be just as effective in a melee combat as a Sith Warrior, but both have their own set of gameplay mechanics and abilities that set them apart. The Sith Assassin may use the Force to approach unseen, wield a double-bladed Lightsaber, chain Force attacks and strong melee finishing moves for burst damage and gain access to powerful positional attacks that require the player to plan their movement carefully. Still have some lightning and other dark powers, but you’re much more effective when you leap right into combat and engage in melee. "If specialized in melee, would a very devious controlling kind, he doesn't have much armors, but he has full use of the Force and he can use it in all sorts of exotic ways to boost his own survivability." Skill Trees Deception - Enhances the Assassin's stealth ability, helping him sneak up and dispatch his foes. Darkness - Focuses on defensive techniques to help protect the Assassin and his allies. Shared Skill Tree Madness The ‘Madness’ skill tree, shared between both the Assassin and the Sorcerer, has received considerable upgrades with the goal of creating a range/melee hybrid gameplay option. Increases the Inquisitor's mastery of the Force to drain and corrupt his enemies. Playable Species Pureblood Human Zabrak Rattataki Twi'lek Story The Sith Inquisitor begins the game as a slave, plucked from obscurity and toil in a highly stratified, unforgiving Empire because of his Force-sensitivity and sent to become a Sith or die. The Sith inquisitor reports to a Sith overseer as part of the slave caste--a group of low-born wannabes who are not of proper Sith bloodlines The Inquisitor is about the darkest of dark side secrets. The Inquisitor is about power not (solely) through brute force and intimidation, but through manipulation, corruption, and knowledge. The Sith Inquisitor is about the individual at odds with the community, and whether to ultimately embrace that community, transform it, or act in defiance of it. Companions Khem Val Dashade.

Yeah I had 1 day option picked before and it was auto switched to the release day shipping. Not complaining at all about saving about $10

Might want to check your order pages for some really good news. Checked it this AM while waiting to get in the game and it now says Estimated delivery date of 12/20 and the shipping method is now release day shipping. So really good news for some of us, though lots will still have to wait.
