Star Wars: The Old Republic - What do you prefer?

[ihaveaproblem]

Considering buying this.
Cant really decide. Not sure if it's my sort of game. I watched a few videos and the pvp didn't seem great and it seems to be all quests ?

Has it launched yet? How smoothly did it go?

Yeh its all out, the launch went well mostly, there are a couple of servers with big queues but most are fine.

How's everyone getting on with SWTOR now?

I'm a level 50 Commando Medic - really enjoying the end game OPS/Flashpoints.

Doing the Imperial version myself, 50 Bounty Hunter Mercenary (DPS). Had good fun levelling, about 50/50 solo or with a friend, both are viable and fun and if playing with others the game manages the fact you are on different "stories" (if you are different classes) really well. With the addition of companions you can pretty much level solo as any spec without too much difficulty.

Tried the easiest Operation yesterday which was fun if a little simplistic after playing WoW for so long (but it was on normal mode). Also the last boss did manage to keep us all in combat after he died so no-one could get any loot which was a touch annoying.

I actually think they have a lot of nice ideas with the warzones at the moment. The commentary you get in Huttball is especially amusing, and it is actually useful, keeping you up to date with whats going on in the Pit (who has the ball, failed passes, ball resets etc). They have said they are going to be doign a lot with PvP in upcoming patches included new warzones as well. The world PvP zones are a complete failure at the moment as they have no real point to them, this is also going to be changed soon also.

It's still pretty raw compared to its established competitors but with the fanbase and initial interest there is it could go a long way.

PVP on my server is awful seeing as the population seems to be 70/30 in favour of the Empire so I'm sticking to PVE for now.
