Basically, beta players only want to be in a beta to play early, they dont look for, or point out any bugs they come across.

As a powertech, I have to use SO MANY FUCKING abilities in order to kill mobs and PvP it's ridiculous. I enjoy being a BH, but in a WZ when a Jedi Consular just casts that one channel ability OVER AND OVER...and BEATS ME. When he's 1 level lower than I am...it's fucking ridiculus. It was a total 1-1 and he beat me with 10% left and literally all he did was use Telekenetic Whatever and that instant cast spell.

What I have to do as a Powertech?

Let's see my abilities by heart...

3 (channel, 15 sec cd), 5 (15 sec cd, explosive dart), 6 (Rail Shot, Long CD 15sec?), 8 (interrupt, 10sec ish CD), shift-2 (Melee range only, 8-10sec cd), V (no CD, melee range only though, fire attack whatever), X (my stun, min cd), shift-4 (charge ability)

He literally just did 2 things over and over and over again. I had to run around and do all this crazy shit. Felt like I was playing SC2 with that micro.

Also, Powertech has no knockbacks that work on players so far (lv 36). It's stupid as fuck in Huttball etc when I get knocked back by everyone else, but I can't knock anyone back.

There is a "class" storyline that will take you all the way to level 50, essentially. This is unique to each class and obviously to each faction, making for 8 separate class stories. They all generally take you to the same planets though, and you'll find that classes in the same faction get the same area quests as each other. For instance, on Tatooine you may have 5 quests at a time, 1 of which is your class quests, and 4 of which are other quests that everybody is doing.

Obviously quests are different for Republic/Empire, and in a lot of places they quest in different areas as well, with some overlap as you progress through the zone in order to encourage some world PvP.

Generally, on alts you'll want to spacebar through conversations you've already heard, or level through PvP/Flashpoints while only doing your class story. Or if you really want to hear all the quest chat again, you can go that route.

This is very misleading. For the first planets your class quest will pretty much take up your entire time. However By level 10 you'll be moving t into more shared quest. Once you hit the stride where EA stop caring (about balmorra for sith) Every planet gets very formulaic. You have 4 Sections to each planet each has about 4-5 quest that are the exact same plus your 1 class quest per zone. So on average about 20-25% is some what unique, though many of the class quests are much shorter than the actual planet quests, by about thirty i had just started doing the class quests first on a planet and would have the entire story line section cleared out in about an hour. However tbh towards the latter half of your way to 50, the class quests get eerily similar.

That said, there is a set path of progression, you will follow exactly for the whole faction. The only real variation is level up on opposing factions, but even then the majority of planets on the latter half will coincide with the other faction.

So you said exactly what I did, except that it sounds like you're unhappy with this model. How does that make what I said misleading? I even said your class quests will be about 1 in 5 of your total quests (which is, gasp, 20-25%!)

My bad half asleep still, had gotten the impression from the first part you were saying the class quest could take you through to 50 alone

I really dont care about the % of the story though. I have a 44 sith jug that I kind of got bored with and made a new char to mess around with. Even though I have to repeat all the world quests again I am having a lot more fun with my operative than I was with the smuggler I made just because I actually wanna see what happens next in the agent story and I didnt care about the smuggler.

If that was the case, I'd definitely pick the game back up and play through it. I'd pay for an offline version of the 8 Class Quests if they were adjusted to give enough XP so you can play through each one directly without side quests, heroics, FPs, server infrastructure, etc. I doubt they would ever do that since it would lose them potential subscribers but dang that would make it awesome for people just interested in the BW story and not the MMO portion of it all.

That's essentially what I'd be playing for as well. Which is why I figure I can wait until they do some big sale or w/e once they're out of the paid beta testing phase.

For anyone who's finished their class story, does it feel the same as a real bioware RPG storyline, with appropriate romancing, companions, and an exciting possibly twist ending? Or is it watered down too much by the constraints put on it by an MMO engine/world?

Any1 else a little burned already on this game??

I was loving it, then out of no where I just felt the grinding nature of the game. I have a lvl 22 trooper a 12 sith warrior and a 16 sith inquis. All of the main Story lines are pretty sick, but you cant level on that alone. I hate how im on a "pvp server" but I dont get any open world combat even tho im lvl 20+ unless I go to some planet. Warzones are still to buggy and laggy to do anything fun as well. There is no challenge to the game either which is a bit annoying. Ive had some good cutscenes that really get my adrenaline going only to rape the mob in 3 seconds.

Bleh.
