Oooo, yeah from the basic descriptions I've read, he seemed like he might be a little iffy (since my assassin is generally pretty kind). But yay! Maybe I will like him after all. I think I'm going to get Ashara next, though, if I had to guess. I think I read you get her when you're on Taris or something, which from playing my sentinel I know is a lower-level planet than wherever Andronikos comes from. We'll see though.

I got a fancy hooded chest piece today from The Black Talon. I feel all spiffy now. My character kind of has this goth feel to her, which I'm totally loving. I mean, I'm not intentionally doing that, but that's how she's developing and I love it. And I don't see myself as an Imperial, really. Even though I'm on that side, I don't like how they treat people and all that. Basically, the dark side is just a tool I can use to mostly help people, but also punish the dbags. It's a lot less restricting than being a Jedi. I make it more difficult than it needs to be, but I try to make sure I'm always sunshine and bunnies.

I'm rambling now, I'm really tired.

Taris is only low level for Republic toons, it's actually like a level 30 something planet for Empire characters.

Oooooooooh, okay. I assumed it'd be the same across the board. Well done, Bioware, well done! That helps keep it a bit more fresh so you don't feel like you're doing the same thing on both sides.

I think it's also to help PvP servers out so you're not as much at risk of being ganked by high levels. It also splits you a bit midway to give you a slight break. I know there's other planets like that too.

For Empire, Balmorra is a 16-20 planet and I think Republic encounter it in their 30s or something. Taris is a low level Republic planet and it's a 30 something for Empire. Hrm, I thought there were more but those might be the only two planets like that since I think Coruscant and Dromund Kaas are faction unique like Tython, Ord Mantell, Korriban, and Hutta.

Well, still, I think it's nice, even if it's only two planets. XD

Nar Shadda too.

Actually Nar Shaddaa is a low 20s planet for both factions--it's the first planet you can encounter world PvP on from my understanding.

Sooo Takali is way fun.. I went gunslinger.. I keep wondering if I should have went scoundrel though.. ><

Roll a second smuggler and go scoundrel? Ended up being what I had to do with my inquisitors because I couldn't stop wondering about the second advanced class.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, my scoundrel is level 14 and really doesn't feel like a scoundrel yet (to me). Most of my abilities are still from cover. Maybe it's supposed to be that way, but I was under the impression I'd have more in-your-face abilities. Maybe I just don't have them yet.

So don't feel bad - if you like ranged more, then the gunslinger is probably the way to go.

By level 19 on my original Operative, I was using stealth and meleeing and typically not going into cover once I discovered that Operative/Scoundrel weren't really intended to be that way; but maybe I did something wrong. I was trying to level as Medic spec with Kaliyo and I personally found the overall experience unenjoyable. I still kind of wonder whether or not I did something wrong in my playstyle to make it feel so awful. Granted, level 19's not a whole lot of experience to go by.

Well, I personally love the one ability I have where I whip out my scattergun and blast them with it. I have to be standing behind them, which is a pain for me at the moment since the rest of my abilities are ranged from cover. If I had more melee or mid-range abilities, it'd be fine.

So yeah, I'm wondering if maybe scoundrels/operatives take a bit longer to feel like what they're supposed to feel like? Like with my Sentinel, as soon as I was level 10 and had my second lightsaber, I felt like a sentinel. As a level 14 scoundrel, I just feel like a level 14 with no spec since I don't have the gunslinger abilities, and only one useful scoundrel ability. Maybe they're much more rewarding later on, and you just have to stick with it for a while?

Yeah, I'm not sure since I never got real far with mine. :< Been debating off and on making a second agent and trying it again, or taking my smuggler scoundrel and trying it from that perspective.

I asked an opninion in general chat last night and was told smugglers come into their own a bit later. That if played right at level 50 they can be one of the hardest and most annoying classes in the game to take down. However I do like ranked and the dual pistols are really cool... Idk I just liked the scrapper tree a lot and how it looked. I'm Sharpshooter atm but Saboteur is pretty cool too and Dirty Fighting is their shared tree. All I know is I'm way attached to Corso!

Its weird...I played SWTOR (we ordered it early) non-stop for hours till someone kicked me off the computer. I got three characters (one BH to level 30 something, a SI to level 20ish, and a SW to level 10ish) and leveled them for awhile before I buzzed myself out on it; I literally stopped playing any video games for two or three weeks. Now, I'm back to playing WoW, (BGing, dungeons, raids - with the new finder, leveling proff, pretty much the whole nine yards) again.

Star Wars is cool and all but I miss the fantasy and RP of WoW, I may start bouncing between the two now. It's weird - not that the graphics of SW aren't cool and the voice acting and what not but WoW is in it's own way awesome. And I miss it...

I still play both, there's no reason anyone shouldn't! I like them for their own reasons. Granted, I like SWTOR a little more right now, but I still enjoy WoW.

If you have the money for it, there's no reason you can't enjoy both games at once. If I had the money to upkeep my WoW account on the side, I probably would just for my beloved hunters (but I want no active part of WoW's end game, I got incredibly bored with that). But I can't do that atm so SW:TOR's become my game of choice, especially since my bf and friends are all playing it right now too.

They're both great games and I hope they both do well. More competition for Blizzard is always a good thing too (or, at least more competition that actually keeps a reasonable amount of surscribers) as it will give Blizzard a reason to make sure they push out good quality content.

You nailed it on the head, Tyger. In my personal opinion, Blizz has gotten a little lazy with content since they were the big dogs. Now, maybe they can take a few things from SWTOR and breathe some new life into WoW.

So after research and getting to know him Corso Riggs my gunslingers companion is my FAVORITE companion IN THE GAME. Romance wise as well hes just so cute and endearing and shy.. I adore him so much and Takali will definately be marrying that asap.

Glad you like him so much Vul.
