Still having a lot of fun. Leveled a sniper to 50 along with my powertech. Going to start a republic toon next, but probably on another server. Need to find one with a good republic population.

If they could add some convenience features, like cross server dungeon finders and cross server warzones, it would help a ton. I spent a long ass time LFG trying to do flashpoints after I dinged 50 the other day.

there is a LFG system, but people don't use it.

In the who panel, you can flag yourself as LFG and search for others that are LFG...

Yeah but there's something to be said for having a system that enables you to not have to sit in a zone looking for a group for an hour. They need a cross server dungeon finder. They'll put one in, too, once people start complaining enough.

that was a feature from WoW i could appreciate, auto group queue and all..

I'd like them to start with just a server dungeon finder as opposed to cross server.

The cross server LFG tool almost killed any sense of server community that WoW had left, LFR put the final nail in that coffin.

I still enjoy the game, though I can't say there's a lot to do at 50 once you've gotten everything you need from daily commendations.

I started up a Jedi Knight and got him to 50, that story was MUCH mo bettah than the Inquisitor storyline. Next class to 50 is either going to be an Operative or a Powertech, not sure which.

The imperial agent storyline is pretty good. I enjoyed it more than the bounty hunter story. But, powertechs are a lot of fun to play. Lots of cool abilities with fun animations, and tanking as a PT gives you a ton of abilities to stay alive and convenience abilities for tanking.

Glad to hear you say that about the jedi knight. I think that's my next choice. I gave him an 80s haircut with a big ol stache, too. Just to feel like I'm in the movies, heh.

I agree with Vana. I dislike cross-server stuff (although I obviously see the benefit of having it). I already feel a much better sense of community on my SWTOR server than I ever did in WoW.

As far as not having much to do at 50, I kind of disagree. If you like to PVP, obviously the race to Valor Rank 60 is there. There's also the daily stuff in Belsavis and Ilum (and one space mission now, ho ho ho), as you mentioned. There are hard mode Flashpoints as well. And, of course, there is raiding (normal, hard, and nightmare modes). I could be wrong, but isn't the cooldown for normal mode raids just 24 hrs? Granted, you'd need 7 other people, but having the option to raid on any night of the week is pretty decent, although you may get tired of the fights after a while. So far, I still haven't been bored with any aspect of the game, which is nice. And I've barely even touched alts.

Maybe I just played on a terrible WoW server (which is probably the case), but WoW never had any community whatsoever for me. Especially coming from EQ. I'd rather have the convenience feature.

The server I played on pre-LFG was pretty damn awesome for community. You knew who the good players were and sought them out for heroics/raids.

After the LFG tool, it became a lot more convenient but it lost any sense of a personal touch because you'd never see those people again.

And yeah, the dailies are okay -- but like i said, once you have your stuff from the commendations, why bother with them? it's faster to just do ALL the space missions and make 110k credits for an hour or so of work.

I haven't tried raiding, just no interest in it yet. HM flashpoints are still a little buggy too from what I can tell.

Nah, the flashpoints are fine now. The game breaking bugs and imbalance issues are fixed. There are still bugs, but you are missing out on a large part of the fun if you're not doing them at all. Just the last encounter in False Emperor alone feels more epic than most WoW encounters.

Kaon Under Siege, in particular, is a new level of immersiveness in my opinion.

The dailies suck because you can get better mastercraft implants with a slot than the rakata ones, if you can find them. I do dailies more for credits after gearing up a second 50 than for the daily commendations.

I've done all the flashpoints except Kaon, but not all of them on HM.

I may have to start actively playing my sorc again.

My sorcerer is 50 but I just use him now for making biochemical stuff and selling on the trade network. Im leveling a mercenary now with scavenging bio analysis and slicing. Selling most of it for a healthy profit. There isn't much of a community on my server. Warzones suck at 50 due to the tons of premade battlemaster geared people that score one goal and farm you the rest of the match.

Ilum pvp sucks for me due to the lag. I don't understand.d it. I go from 100+ fps with my setting all the way up even in a warzone to 10 in Ilum. When the message pops up that so and so has control of a check point its freezes me up. Was looking for a way to have that not pop up but no luck at all. ( yes I get those bad frames in Ilum with my settings all the way down).

Besides that the games not that bad. Getting a bit bored though. If I could stand to lose all the tradeskill work and my credits id refill on a different server. Hope they add a transfer option soon. And server forums to make looking for a raid guild easier.

There are server forums, sorta. They are grouped up by the first letter of your server's name, so they are kind of stupid. As far as the frame rate issues in Ilum, I don't know if it will help, or if it is even worth it for you to try, but many people have reported success by changing to DirectX 9. Apparently, the game was coded for DX9, not DX11. It seems it's a 10 FPS increase, at bare minimum.
