Is it smooth?

I know people are already level cap, how is endgame?

Did you guys get into the groove of leveling by like level 30?

I don't know if I like the "single player" feel of it with the cinematic in person chat and decisions, it is really that bad?

How are bounty hunters? I def rolling one.

How is the economy? What professions are becoming most viable in the release of the game.

Basically post anything here to persuade me that this game wont be a waste of money.

The power leveling seems to be PvP. You get good xp and credits for doing so. Combine with class quest for elite gaming status.
You can PvP by level 10.

The game feels smooth if you have a decent gfx card.

Personlly I like the class quests and the other quests associated with the worlds. I find after 3 days of questing it gets old so I switch it up with PvP to keep it fresh and not to "beat a dead horse"

As far as crew skills go, pick a crafting skill and then the other two must go with it. Any of the skills will be good. There is just a secret to crafting that I shall keep in order to take full advantage of it :ph34r:

ok so i made my fortune time to share this and see if it gets removed pretty soon, i was selling my pvp emblems for the random item container and selling those for 800-1.2k credits each(20 emblems cost), the trick is u have to sell loads of craps to remove them from buyback cause they are unique gg qq

selling them to other players or back to a vendor? im guessing because the line about buyback, that you are referring to selling to a vendor. I'll look into this a bit more once it is back up later tonight.

i will say this, i have imo a pretty damn nice gaming comp, i can run most games at max settings (mass effect 2, GTA 4, Rift, WoW, etc.) and this game puts it to its knees.

I have everything on medium, with a good distance view, and ill normally have a good 30-50 fps, but sometimes ill move in a way that the game doesnt like, and the fps will drop to like 10-15. I had it on max settings for awhile, but the drop in FPS was happening to much so i dropped settings, now only happens rarely in couple of instances or cities)

That being said, the graphics in the game arent that stunning, they're not bad, but nothing mind blowing. Seems the engine they use is kinda meh. Played other games that look better and are not as harsh on my system.

Other then that, i was pretty bored of the game by lvl 15, seems redundant quests, that took forever to get going due to listening to them talk. And so very few quests actually gave dark/light side points.

But then i started PvPing with some people, cordinated teams, and only did mainline quests or instances, and also go my ship to do spaceship quests, and it became alot of fun. I know can do pretty much anything i want. If i want to go do my main story quest to advance my character through the game, i can. If i want to chill by myself blow shit up in space, i can. I can get a group and go into an instance where the bosses arent pure tank n spank, i can. Finally, i can go into PvP with just 3 other people and win every single game cause its so easy to carry, i can. All of which, give XP, credits, and other stuff (items, commendations, etc) and im having an absolute blast with it now. Mainly, cause i can do anything im in the mood for, and still move myself along (XP, Credits, gear, etc.)

Right now I'm in the transition of rerolling like fucking crazy friends were so uncoordinated when I started so I've done everything twice. But I liked the quests and story line enough to do it again without being too upset with it. I'm by no means a guy who follows Star Wars but was simply looking for something else to play. It's a fun game I can't say I'm a fan of the flash points, they seem boring to me but everyone will have their own opinions. I heard PvP is much faster like a lot of people said but I like to quest on my own.

I didn't think I was going to like it but decided to try it with some friends and I think it would be worth it to give a shot the single player aspect I don't like in instances but I feel more involved when doing quests and I kind of like that. But you'll have to try it yourself I'll keep you updated on how it is for me as I keep leveling.

If you're running a ATI card might want to get the new drivers that were released a few days ago, I'm having no issues except I get a quick spike that is less than a quarter of a second when I open my bag. Other than that the graphics are by no means insane like you said but they're not hard on the eyes.
