Loving it. Actually changed mains from Consular to Trooper because I love being Fem Shep again, and because I like their play style better.

I'm only 47 but I've thoroughly enjoyed all the flashpoints on the way up. People will space-bar through instances once they've done them a couple of times but heroics are heroics.

Has anyone made it to end-game yet? What is it like at max level? Do the instances get boring after playing them for the umpeenth time? Not that wow's are any better because they are just as boring.
my guild is about to start raiding, there's only 1 50 on the server not in our guild

Oh my. I'm trying to download this game. I've made three or four different accounts across two or three sites. I get constant error messages, I'll set up an account to be told I need to set up a new account to be told I can't use that email address because I already have an account with it...
Have to say, first impressions of the competence of their IT department are pretty abysmal.
And, on downloading the client, which I couldn't do until I filled out all of my account details on swtor.com, it asks me to make a swtor.com account. I mean you'd think they were trying to invent digital downloads for the first time in human history.
Edit: Opening video was
gorgeous
. The actual game itself continues to make a strong first impression.

Alright. I've given in. I'm buying this game first thing tomorrow.
Problem is my friends already have a server they're on. :(

I always enjoy a thorough, articulate and well thought-out argument :)

nope i am NOT gonna play this Swtor because its just *!@#ed up with Fan boys. And i just cant see that Star Wars could be an MMORPG ( just a stupid idea )
Taken from your profile page:
Hello everyone i am a casual Wow player who loves all Blizzard games
You have yet to try it. As for myself, I bought the game last night and I am enjoying it. It's refreshing to have voiced cut-scenes that you can choose dialogue options in inside an MMO. Do you even read the quests you accept in WoW?

SWTOR PvP IRL?

Incoming wall of text!
I've been playing since Early Access started and I've dabbled with a few different classes.
Currently I've got...
lvl19 Jedi Consular
lvl11 Jedi Sentinal
lvl6 Smuggler
lvl6 Trooper
and a lvl11 Sith Sorcerer (just to see what the spell effects were like)
Not really a major amount of time spent, but I'll come to that in a moment.
Firstly, I'm not a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the Jedi Knight games years ago and I've seen all the films, but I'm not a huge fan.
Secondly, I WANT to like this. All my mates are playing it. We were in a WoW guild together for best part of 5 years. It would be nice to carry on the guild, just in another game.
Personally though, I'm struggling with it.
Something just isn't clicking for me. I play for a bit then reach a point where I naturally get tired, log off and play something else.
All my mates are playing as Sith, which I tried but didn't enjoy (dialogue options were mostly A) Be a &*!@ B) Be a bigger %^&* C) Be a massive @#$%).
I've played a fair few MMO's and this is unusual for me!
With most MMO's and almost certainly with WoW I got hopelessly addicted. We're talking, getting up an hour early for work just to get a few more minutes of leveling done.
I'm just not getting that with this
It's not even a WoW vs ToR problem either. I WANT to like it. There's just something missing in it for me.
There are a few rough edges which niggle me while playing, but not enough to spoil the enjoyment I don't think.
Not meaning to be shallow either, but sometimes it looks ugly. Some of the textures appear really low res, then other times they look fab. Lack of built in AA is kind of a shame too. Forcing in drivers isn't ideal.
I picked Jedi Sage as in other MMO's I always pick Mage, Warlock or Paladin.
Sage seemed to be a mashup of the three with a bit of Priest thrown in.
It just doesn't feel very MMO like at times. It's a bit quiet.
Some of this might be because I'm playing alone and not with my old guild mates. However, this has never been an issue before.
There seems to be this weird lag at times too. It's not network either as I'm always under 40ms.
It makes combat feel a little unresponsive at times.
There are also issues with things failing to cast, or they cast but you get no cast bar.
All minor stuff, but irritating.
TL:DR
It's just not quite what I was expecting...
Story is great, everything else is kind of average right now.
I'll wait for a few patches then re-evaluate.

I have nothing yet to add to the discussion except:

I love this game! The only issue I have at the moment is how they keep doing all these little patches, "Dam it man! Once a week it is all I can handle!"

Having hit the brick wall that is Hard Mode Flashpoints and the huge number of encounter-breaking bugs therein, I've got to say that I want
more
patches!
