Players are lazy, if they have to do something again to get the result they want, they will stay single, which will impact grouping. If that does not happen too much, they will certainly play flashpoints on their own.

Way to go Carolyn!

Thanks for all the exciting new info.

Lots of storytelling and quests is all fine with me, but...

...where's the playerdriven content?

Where's the guild vs. guild warfare, territorial conquest, ressource harvesting, crafting and economy?

This game sounds like there won't be any content for large guilds, but only some 5-man groups.

Where's the possibility for my guild to stay neutral and don't align with either side and claim a little area of Alderaan for my own business?

Sorry, but storytelling and a playthrough with various classes is better be played offline. I don't need a monthly sub for that.

 I agree with this. I like Dragon Age and Mass Effect if I play console games. I can't see that style working for an MMO. I had really high hopes for ToR, but I have decided to look elsewhere now.

Thanks for the article.

 

Now for a moment of nerdrage...please learn to spell Mandalorian, Alderaan and Consular before writing any more about Star Wars.

 

But I do love your hardware reviews.

 That's the one annoying thing about MMORPG -- here, an editor actually reading through and editing an article for spelling, grammar and content hasn't happened for years. 

Thus, every article has errors that could have been easily corrected had the editors actually did their job.

I've mentioned this before, but was dissed as "picky" and told something like "that's the way the author submitted it .."

Hey, whatever.  Edit the damn thing -- not only is it an editor's job, it's the professional thing to do and props this site's credibility.

I want an in-game companion like HK-47, and hope he doesn't try to kill me :P

Your death will be swift, meatbag. 

^^ This made me literally LOL. 

As for the 'not being able to switch sides' they better not!  The second you decide to make it possible for people to jump ship in a pvp game you make it so that the cowards will always win. If they make it so that all pvp is small scale even number battles, instead of open pvp, then I wouldn't mind them letting you go through some painfully long, complicated process to join the other side as a level one character of the corresponding class. But that's about it. Especially in the realm of dark versus light. The powers are not compatible and there is no logical reason a Sith Master could somehow become a Jedi Master. He could become a really nice Sith Master on his way to becoming a padawan learner and that's about it. You can't have the rage necessary to be a sith and still be a jedi. Same for the jedi. They use totally different techniques to learn their powers. I could see letting them keep their crafting skills and ship but everything else would have to go. They would also have to make it so that it was a one shot deal. The other side npc's would permanently hate them as well. Do that and I might be ok with switching.

This game looks totally badass, though!
