Words can not express my joy,
God I want to play this game! "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience" |

You mentioned that walking around to hand in quests got tiresome, but I have read that you can use a hologram communicator thing to hand in quests? I always thought this was pretty cool but you didnt mention it at all...is it something you get later on? Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Some of the quests did have holo communicators but it was not for all of them. Most of the quests you had to go back to NPC's.

SpareHiggins = Chris Higgins. It's true. Some quests do have holo communicators, but most don't. That part of the quest mechanic is still here, I'm afraid. I didn't find it too annoying, as actually having large gaps to traverse is something I feel many MMOs lately have left out. I want the sprint ability and the eventual "mounts" to feel like they matter, and the running around in early levels hammers that home. |

Not shabby for a light side user. But we all know who the true powerhouses are in SWTOR. <Evil Laugh> Enjoying all the classes in the beta. Very impressed!

Originally posted by BillMurphy I'm glad that they included large worlds like you said. It will make the world feel more fleshed out and less crammed together with all the hubs thrown on top of each other (I'm looking at you Rift). |

I hate to be a grammar nazi, but did any editor look at this before posting it? Holy crap.
Otherwise, great info in the article itself. |

The objects vary and can be anything from droid bodies to boulders. Well thank goodness for that. I was worried it was gonna be the same engine part throughout the whole game. Call me petty if you will but that would be silly. Roll on Christmas! |

I read somewhere that healing in SWTOR comes with like 2 healing abilties only. Healers rather play like i.e. the ToS in AoC, which is "offensive priest"-like instead of full blown pure healers with two bars of spells at hand. Can anyone confirm that? |

I did not go past level 15 so things could change as you get higher but I had 2 healing skills by the time I was 14. The interestng thing was the last one I got was better than the first. From what I saw when you go up the healing tree it looks like you get more skills but I wont be sure until I get to it and its still under NDA :)

To put it simply, the story for the consular... is boring as hell. Part One: Save some holocrons, especially one from the "bad" guy who helped found the jedi order Part Two: omg your master is sick, find a cure. and then play something else more interesting cause the male voice was getting on my nerves. |
