SO my impression after beta are

Squeeeeee

must have this :)

p.s. PVP is shit,

Huttball was dull and just fucked up generally, too many environmental traps exploited, Sith/jedi leaping around all over the place, an already squeezed skill bar finding room for a pass skill was very hard.

Attack/defence (cant recall name of the game) was more fun but still felt dull

plus after doing 1 attack/defence i levelled up 2 PVP levels got 5k cash and probably the same in xp at level 10

im now glad i purchased the CE all those months ago :)

ill gladly be shooting my syphilis empowered piss coloured bolts also, until someone makes a better crystal than +4 END (around level 15 from my dabble in Artifice)

Yeah pvp was awful.  But I aint here for that to be frank.  (Their bolster mechanic is for 1-49 etc, no other brackets...).

Looking forward to pre-launch and launch itself.  Good that the guild program basically forms guild and asks each of us as we log in if we require to join etc As 1 less thing to worry on.

I actually really enjoyed the PvP. Huttball was good fun. You dominate as a Trooper tbh. Mortar Volley ftw.

As for Guild launch, hope we get on an EU server with a decent name...

Good point actually. If we get one called Galactic Rose, we'll be good to go!

I'll tell you now, if i'm going to be rolling on the same server as you guys, don't be picking the most gay-arse name there!  :P

Any reason why server name is important?

As said, anything in the top half of the alphabet will become a laggy, dickhead infested hellhole. Full of spergelords and total bads as they cant read names past the first letter.

Last weekends client will be patched to the release client.

Stephen Reid confirmed via Twitter that the Star Wars: The Old Republic testers from the Thanksgiving Beta Weekend will be able to be patch their game client for Early Game Access and Release. As such, players should keep their game installation in tact on their computers. For players who tested the game prior to November 25th, however, Mr. Reid recommends a clean installation of the game client.

Read on for the direct quotes from Stephen Reid.

FAQ: if you played this weekend you do NOT need to uninstall the #SWTOR client. We are planning to patch it to Early Game Access / Live.

That's the Best news I have had all day.

As for impressions.  I really liked the fully voiced quests.  Normally I am just spamming the next button to get the text boxes to go away so I can get on with my life.  But I enjoyed the cut scene style of the quest conversations and the way your answers could effect light side / dark side points as well as Companion affection points.

PVP warzones were fun for me, even though I don't think I was ever on a winning Huttball team.  I didn't get into any open world pvp, so no clue how that's going to work.  Looks like consequences of death will be pretty insignificant.  Item durability is the only real down side.  So It wont replace Eve in that respect.

Overall I had a ton of fun, and could not wait to log in and play all weekend.  That could wear off, but the bottom line is, the game is fun, and it doesn't feel like grinding.
