How is SW:TOR?

[Husky]

Im pretty interested in playing SW:TOR when it comes out, but not too sure if they are having an open beta. Would like to try before I buy it but not willing to buy an account, just wondering what everyone who has played has thought of the game so far. How does it play out in comparison to WoW?

Buggy? Laggy? Any game breaking graphical or technical issues so far?
how well are the classes balanced?
Is PVP competitive or more casual?

just a few questions I was curious about

thanks

Played around a month and a half ago.
Issues: Not bad at all 8/10
Pvp: Undeveloped(implemented but not worth playing)Very casual 1/10
Class balance: Id give a 4/10.
Story/quests:Excellent. 9/10
Groupimg: At the time you can only do instance once.(Not sure if this is permanent) It makes grouping a very tiresome experience. However I did enjoy doing them.

Id wait till Open beta/release. Unless you plan on doing a mad rush to max lvl. However this is not from perspective of MMO'er(or at least no longer) Played wow for 3 years and burned out. This is just my perspective.
I honestly think swtor will be most enjoyable if you took your time and leveled. Multiple characters using rest exp so you dont have to do any grinding and mainly just do story quests.

Thats unfortunate, was looking forward to PVP in a game like this, hopefully it pans out better at release.

This is from a month and a half ago. Talk to skyewauker for an update. Hes not afraid to spill his guts.

Yea eqzitara, sounds like a real old build. You can do flashpoints over and over if you wish.

PvP objectives on Illum have been implemented now. All 3 warzones are implemented. They introduced like 4 new flashpoints.

Class balance is phenomenal actually lol. I think ranged and melee need work. Ranged dominates. But the mirror balancing has worked so far.

I 100% agree with you that if people rush to 50 by skipping the voice overs then whine about content, they have themselves to blame. The story is 11/10 and won't be beat by any game... ever lol. I literally see this as everyMMO coming out needing this to compete in the market.

The weekend beta was awsome , I hope their raids will be good aswell.
Not sure if the raids was relesed on the beta at all ? If they were , were they any good ?
