well seems they are currently testing their log in queueing system ;)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

So somewhere someone here said that it didn't feel like a grind.

Is that because it's SW, shiny and new? Or are the quests actually different from WoW and LOTRO's kill X for Y and get Z?

Please indulge my need to play this game vicariously through you.

there are ofc the quests to kill x number of y and take it z. It just doesnt feel like a grind as the quest flow is phenomenal

My only gripe is there is still quite a need to return to quest givers between sections of a quest, its very rare you see any sort of holo/comms type usage, which is a shame really. I can understand returning at the end of the line if they have an item or similar for you, but currency and xp could be done remotely.

But other than that - which is a gripe I even used to have when I missioned in EVE (im in a spaceship, why do i have to come to you to get a mission to kill ants in your backyard...), Garry is bang on with how good the questing feels.

Also, the fully voiced aspect of the game makes you care about the quests you're on. Makes you feel involved, and therefore it feels a lot less grindy.

Also, the majority of the 'kill x amount of mobs' quests are integrated as bonus missions. You'll be given a quest to go do something, and when you kill a mob while getting to that, a popup will appears saying 'Kill X amount of these mobs'. Completely optional, but theyve obviously done it so that if you're going to have to kill a load of mobs to get to the main goal anyway, might aswell do this for some bonus xp too. It completes instantly when you've completed it, so no running back to hand in. It's well done imo.

Thing is, is there any none humanoid (ie 2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head all attached to a torso) sentient races in Star Wars, other than the Hutts?
