You must be easterners indeed i am, ontario, in the middle of nowhere, im surprised my internet speed is what it is, sitting around 500 kb/s on average, and just got a 100 gb cap with my ISP, so im happy lol even though i shouldnt be. Now about the beta, i played about 5+ hours, and im so damn addicted, ive played lotr online, a week of WoW, and some other F2P MMO's, and this obviously takes the cake. Literally every quest giver, or npc is fuly voiced, and sounds great. Also, since its star wars, its just an epic story, really draws you in, i picked the empire side, as a Bounty Hunter. Classic really, i will say this is an extremely stable beta, with not a single crash or server disconnect, i only have til monday to decide if i will be getting this on realease day, im not sure yet, as i dont know if its worth paying 15-20$ a month to play the game, but then again, im only lvl 9, so once i hit 15 or so, i beleive we get our own ship, and can start roaming the galaxy, so that might change my mind. Anyways hope those of you who are playing are enjoying it as much as me. GG GL | ||

"Choice" seems to be the thing they are touting in this an awful lot. You can run around as a celibate rule obeying jedi if you want to cant you? I've not even touched the beta so obviously your more qualified to talk about the game then me of course  Would be interested to hear what you think of the games plot, as thats what interests me the most. | ||

Bad is not the word I would use. Underwhelming seems more fit. Considering they trotted around for years going "STORY IS THE FOURTH PILLAR OF GAMING THAT WE ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THIS GAME WITH!" | ||

Enlighten me please. I also never said my opinion was greater than yours. I prob wouldn't have said any of that if you'd have come in and said why you don't like the game instead of just posting inflammatory shit. I'll be honest. I don't even know what you just said. I think you were trying to say that you didn't act like your opinion was greater than mine (even though you said that those who are saying this game is bad should not be posting here, thereby implying their opinion is lesser than yours) and were implying that I have not given any reasonable criticisms for this game and are just mindlessly bashing it -- to which I am not. I am providing pictures, videos, etc. I am quoting people who posted hours of gameplay, posting official reviews of the beta and giving my opinions on such. Now stop grasping at dem straws. | ||

If you want to say it's good, and you have played the Beta to a reasonable amount -- go for it, as long as you provide your reasoning for it just like I will provide my reasoning for disliking it after playing it. However, if you have only looked at some footage that THEY wanted you to see at Gamescom that fluffs the game up a shit ton and makes it look better than it truly is (because every pre-launch game does this), you don't have a valid opinion on the game. | ||

Well, just the ability to fight someone from the other faction anywhere. that said, Objective based world PVP would be ideal. I.e Capture a zone and get a reward (ala Warhammer). But It doesnt have to be centered around it, and a cap limit on pvp zones would be ideal so they dont just turn into big zergs. Battlegrounds get pretty stale, so if thats all they have I cant see myself playing it for long. | ||

I don't see anything wrong with the game either. Yes it's WoW with a SW skin, but the game has potential. Questing/lvling is fun, PvP needs improvement but it's only beta. | ||

Doesnt really bother me either way, its not like they could make the other romances cannon. | ||

Ok so i just logged about 30+ hours on the beta, so id say im somewhat qualified to at least give some insight to my experience, the only thing i have not touched is the pvp, its a beta, im not wasting any godamn time fighting other dudes n shit. Im preety happy with the game so far, not to spoil to much obviously, but just having all the npc's/quest givers being fully voiced, and decently at that, is very nice, its also great to be able to just solo you're way through most of the quests. Some of course, were actually impossible alone, but they give you the option to go in alone if youd like. Now you said "* Outright stating that the Jedi Codex is irrelevant * LOLROMANCE scenes errywhere * Dat bland as fuck PvP" I find it odd since i did not see so much romance seens in my game time, in fact, i dont think there was any time where i could hit on someone, or flirt with them, maybe once or twice. And whats wrong with the Codex? theres an insane amount of detail and lore in this game, if you actually like Star Wars, which, my guess is you dont enjoy the lore part, you just wanted another MMO to play, than the codex are fine, but the best thing is the amount of story given to you're main quest. Theres just a tonne of shit to do, and it all makes sense to me right now, in the context of the story. So in my opinion, its a great BETA so far, its not even done, even though, i havent had a single crash or disconnect, or even a bug that cost me a mission. and people should remember its bioware game, so theres tonnes of different ways to go about every mission, and different consequences for your actions, not to mention the story changed with it. So you were saying its underwhelming, im saying its fun, it draws you in and immerses you, and i think any fan of Star Wars will love it, especially if they like something like a Mass Effect, or KOTOR. Gday. | ||

If Bioware breaks the lore, I will not buy this game, as I am what could what could generously be called a book of SW lore. | ||
