Lol yea I just find it easier to call'em rebels, Barak.

Playing different factions on different servers I guess is acceptable, just the idea of doing it on the same server is silly to me, dont take the whole it being dirty thing real serious or anything, I just like to immerse myself in one faction or the other, and well the other becomes the enemy regardless of whos playing it.

I like to see people having pride in whatever faction they side with, which you dont generally see from people who switch sides, I feel they should have enough story on each side to keep you busy for a long enough time that they can release more and keep you going, so you dont have time to roll a new guy and try to figure out the other story, but thats just me.

In every Star Wars game the nonforce users are typically on the lower end of being played, because people have a huge boner for the force. Personally since SWG days, I refuse to play any sort of force using character, while some people think its amazing to be a jedi and use lightsabers, I think its much much more amazing to be better then/on par with those same people and yet have no force powers at all.

Personally I hope smugglers/agents stay the least played, I do hate seeming my class being played by everybody.

 

P.S All these people talking about playing different factions need to figure out themselves, you gotta pick rebels or empire, theres no room for flipping and flopping back and forth between the sides, thats just dirty, choose where your loyaltys lie already. I you can play both factions on the same server I will immensly disappointed.

No rebels here. I'm sure you know that, but I figured I'd point it out just in case.

no imperials either..  as those didnt come about until after the clone wars etc.. .. shame there isnt the 'underworld' faction.. as both the smuggler and bounty hunter really belong in it..

i want to be  a smuggler but my friends will be in the dark side ....so my first toon is BH...but my second will be Smuggler

Yea they coulda added in a hutt faction of some sort, but I think it woulda made it hard for them to come up with nonforce using classes for the other factions. Had hoped to see sme tech specialist classes, some driod characters, and stuff like that as in the PnP RPG, but I'm fine with what they have brought to the table as it is.

Republic - Trooper least played followed closely Counselar.

Sith - Imperial Agent followed by Inquisitor

For Republic I choose Trooper, because #1 they don't have force powers, #2 they are tanks (yes I know they can be dps as well), and #3 the smuggler gets a wookiee companion so that places them above a generic trooper.  I picked Counselar as #2 least played just because they will be the primary healers.

For Sith I chose Imperial Agent because they don't have force powers or the Boba Fett factor pulling for them.  They are a generic spy class.  Classes with light sabers and jawas beat them to the punch.  For #2 least play I would go Inquistor.  Again for the healing factor and no jawas.

I think the most played will be your saber wielding DPSers(knight/warrior), followed by Bounty Hunters, and then maybe Smugglers/Inquistors for the tie.

Personally I want a heavily armored Trooper Vangaurd to tank and then for my Sith toon I want a Imperial Agent Operative as them seen to be a good support class.  I'm also a little tempted to play the Inquisitor - Assassin as my light saber class of choice.  My preference tends to be for the non-saber classes though.

Personally I think the jedi knight is more of a tank then the trooper, but thats just me

I think the Knight-Guardian and Trooper-Vanguard are supposed to be equal tanks on par with each other.  They just tank in different manners.  I prefer the trooper since he's a heavy armored mother that doesn't need force powers.

I think we can say with confidence the masses will flock to a lightsaber wielding class. But I'm curious to know what you guys think will be the least played class from each faction?

I'm thinking Agent Operative from Empire Side, and Smuggler Scoundrel from the Republic.

Not to say these are "bad" or boring classes to play. Just from previous MMO experience. Maybe this is too obvious though.

 

Thoughts?

official site forum polls shows that the least class will be the smuggler
