    Anyone playing this yet?
    I'm installing right now.  Hopefully my PC/GFX card is up to the task.

    playing it right now. While the system requirements demand more then what my current comp specs are. it runs fine. Honestly though, I find the combat rather clunky, and find it plays more like one of the cheap free to play games with way too much dialog for everything you do much like the single player old republic.
    I give it a 6 out of 10 rating.
    As much as I hate too admit it, Warcraft is still better.

    FYI you can turn the dialogue completely off. The addition of the dialogue was the huge selling point for a lot of people though. If you are playing to hit max level fast the dialogue sucks. If you're playing for story it goes above and beyond any game (not just mmo) I've ever played. Wow has had 7-8 years in the oven. Unfair to compare the two in this way IMO. But at well over 1 million subscribers already I have high hopes for swtor.

    Hat are you two playing? Imperial agent here. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    Well after installing and updating for a couple hours, I only got to play for about 10 minutes...

    I rolled a human Jedi Knight. Original I know, but I always played horde on WoW so I thought I'd try out the good guys for once...

    As I said, I haven't played it much yet, but you don't have to play it long to tell it was majorly influenced by WoW (which is not a bad thing IMO). As a very casual player, I also like the cinematics...

    I'm on Fa'athra. I have a level 23 Jedi Knight Sentinel (Jiinto)

    I'm really liking this game a lot now. I'm sure they owe a lot to WoW, but they got a lot of stuff right out of the gate.

    My only complaint is the PVP system needs some tweaking. It needs to be more tiered and the classes need a bit of balancing. Other than that, it's a ton-o-fun.
