I thought it looked fun too. It would probably be quicker paced if people start passing the ball to eachother more and have other people using stuns to help the receiving player get ahead.

I guess I needed to point out how 3 people are "unloading" on any given target for 30 seconds and said target does not die. Probably important as well to mention the very next gen standing in place button mashing the most boring skills ever and don't forget those great 1-2 cc skills that help create those very game changing/dramatic moments where no1 dies and no strategy was compromised couse refer to the first point made.

But yeah dude lightsabers and Bioware lolololololol, most awesome dialogue and "dynamic" game ever.

You really can't comment on the button smashing. He said it himself, he didn't know what he was doing. You really don't know what skills he needs to use, until you play the game and you learn a correct rotation... In addition, in WOW anyone can just stand there and "button smash" as well, you need a proper rotation to kill. The game is dynamic with and has dialogue, but this is just a pvp arena...

I'm not going to base my opinion of a game on a video, I'll play it first.

I played WoW at 2k, you don't get to button smash, gear aside is a fight to disable the other team. Everyone there was button mashing standing in place to no effect, it wasn't just TB.

That guy didn't a damn what he was doing... then again most people don't in huttball.

I find that most the team doesn't even try to score but just kill each other.. but there is usually a random couple that actually work together and try to score.

What I don't like about PvP is that you can have a level 13 on your team vs a level 30. They raise your stats to make it somewhat "fair" but I find it really isn't. One time I got paired with a freaken lvl 3 (among other lower levels) on my team against 3 lvl 50's on the other. I've never been so owned so badly in a PvP..

No doubt, it's like they're constantly improving. You can tell they put a lot of hard work into this game, I can honestly say I enjoyed questing. It was like watching a movie... O.O

played this game a bit through beta weekend and it just confirmed everything i had thought: this game is amazing. 100% getting it, might even upgrade my cpu a bit so i can run it on higher settings.

really enjoyed questing, the dialogue options are always fun. admittedly i haven't kept up with the info regarding this game too much, but i am worried about how fun end-game will be. regardless, questing to cap will be a blast so i'll at least do that.

Each class has its own story line.. 4 classes on Republic and 4 on Imperial. It's like 8 story different class quest story lines to get to level 50. Questing on all chars will keep a lot of people occupied. But, I'm sure there will also be a lot of stuff to do at endgame.

I plan on leveling 2-3 chars at a time, slowly. This game was meant to be enjoyed..I don't want to rush to endgame like most people do.

Finished downloading the game/launcher as well. Joey you still want to play in the same server with me and my friends? I don't think we got the required number of pre-orders to lock our guild in. All I know is that I want a PvE server that is west coast. That work for you?

(I played on Revan, PvP server in beta. I felt bad owning the Sith on Alderaan.. also didn't like being killed during middle of heroic quests by overzealous players.)

Won't let me preload. When I launch the launcher it doesn't download anything. When I try to log in, it says the password is incorrect. When I try to go to SWTOR.com to check my password, it says the website is down.
