    That seems quite light for abilities.
    My druid in WoW had something like 60 binds that I used relatively often.
    My rogue had somewhere around 80 after the focus macros.
    This was all for pvp though, my pve rotations were bound entirely to the 4 mouse buttons.

    Having 21 binds in a regular tank rotation sounds really interesting. I will have to try it out after I try both specs of the consular and inquisitor, the gunslinger, the commando, and the mercenary.

    And this is why I'll never be any kind of hardcore MMO player.

    Well unfortunately, because of the way a lot of the abilities are made/balanced/timed... it's really very clunky. I have no problem with complex characters (I mained an Enchanter in Everquest an an Affliction Warlock in World of Warcraft).... So long as the payoff is there. Right now? It isn't.

    Even the Devs have said they see it and that the Juggernaut is the FIRST AC to be getting attention/reworking from them.

    I'll try to keep the forums updated with news and changes.

    I'm lvl 26 at the moment with my Jedi Sage. While the start in Tython was meh, I'm beginning to enjoy the game.

    What are you playing, out of curiosity?

    Origin was dumb and sent me an extra game key.

    Who's been a good boy this year?

    Careful - you have one "pre-ordering" key, but later you'll receive a second "final" key which you need to activate the game.

    Hope you don't give away you're "final" key or you're screwed ;-)

    So far I've got a 27 Sith Juggernaut, a 20 Sith Assassin and a 15 Mercenary. They've all got interesting storylines, and funny characters (though Vette, the Juggernaut's first companion, annoys me.)

    I'm thinking of starting a trooper or a smuggler on the republic side.

    Got a 46 Sith Sorcerer here, and I love the story line for the Inquisitor.

    I've been solo questing mostly and I really do feel like I'm playing an extension of KoTOR. Shit is addicting.

    How's everyone else enjoying it so far?

    I'm not. Fucking 3 hours downloading patches. This is some fucking bullshit.

    edit: By patches, I mean assets, videos, and assorted other fucking nonsense that should have downloaded when I FUCKING INSTALLED THE GAME EARLY TO AVOID THIS BULLSHIT. I installed this game 3 days ago and now that I have a key and was able to log in, 20GB downloaded and counting.

    20gb's isn't patches. Thats the size of the entire game. For some reason, you're re-downloading the whole thing.

    Tried opening the game a dozen times since I downloaded it and installed it on Saturday, but this is the first time I have been able to start any updating, and it gives me this fucking bullshit.

    I think they are running low on bandwidth for their servers. It won't even let people purchase the game digitally, at least not in Ireland.

    Not working for me either (Im brazilian). But at least I found a reseller that accepts paypal. Price is the same as the Origin store too. Google g2play dot net, if you're interested...

    Jung Ma (Empire). Which is an RP PvP server.

    RP servers are full of RPers, sure, but they tend to have a more mature/literary crowd. Unfortunately Jung Ma is popular enough that a bunch of kiddies joined it too -eyeroll.-

    @Churchey: That's really fucking odd, honestly. But yeah, it seems like something happend to the data you downloaded and installed before, because that's the game entirely re-installing, not just patching.

    You get in finally?

    Got in around 4:30 my time, when I first logged in at 12:30. 4 hours of install. And that's at my parent's house with fiber optic internet service.

    My computer can't handle this game though. I'm using my hp hdx model and with everything turned down it's pretty choppy most of the time. I handled wow on nearly max graphics just fine but this is giving me tons of issues.

    Some gripes about the game:
    1. Ambiguity of some alignment choices. Sith Inquisitor/Warrior questlines involve one where you can find a guy's research or sabotage it. Sabotaging it to wrongfully discredit him is actually the good-side choice...da fuq?
    2. Miraluka-All of the fucking blindfolds are so retarded. Let's make the icon for the race a woman with a white cloth blindfold on, then have nothing similar as an option. Unless you want to go full-out headcover, your options are between really retarded sunglasses and buffalo bill style leather wear. Ruins all hopes I had for making a miraluka anything.

    I think I found your problem..

    On another note, does anyone know if anyone's compiled a list over the servers physical locations yet? EA and Bioware being paranoid dickfucks refuses and I'm not particularly keen on picking one randomly and ending up in lag-hell because some countries are assbackwards neanderthals that can't be arsed to build a decent infrastructure.

    If you mouse over the options before clicking you should get a "Light" or "Dark" symbol in the middle of of your circle of choices. Makes it easy to at least know if you are going to get points for one or the other. I know that doesn't make up for your concern about the ambiguity, but at least it lets you know what you're doing so you don't have to worry about sorting out which one is which.
