Got stuck trying to board the falcon, but what I noticed so far:
All the clicking for combat was making me nuts... if I were going for a combat character I'd go insane from the noise and kill my finger
The profession window seems very non-intuitive to me. Hard to tell exactly what everything meant and how things worked
Not sure if its just for the tutorial but I couldn't figure out how to get a chat window for the life of me (so I couldn't do / commands)
Artisan specialty of Engineer is non-intuitive for WS skills. I would expect that to be under munitions (and I could see players choosing munitions thinking that get WS without reading the descriptions)

Looks good Tiggs, apart from the profession sheet. It looks very unprofessional IMO... Looks like someone went overboard with MS Paint and the "Star Jedi" Font.

Another can't board falcon and lost my spot. Niiiiiiiiice.
Can't get back in because their are only two servers when apparently there should be five. Plus the raised limit to 201 (ok that is a bit of sarcasm) people isn't helping. TC2 is in a constant state of "creating character".
As far as the tut goes, the voiceovers are good. Running actually feels like running. The single click on objects isn't a good idea. This should be dbl click.
Graphix look good. The docking bay is a nice touch.
One thing though. You promised "fast-paced gameplay". Ummm taking 5 minutes to kill a 500HP ST with a 2-10 dmg pistol and then have to do it 2 more times is not "fast-paced". Better "CURB" the hams or you are gonna end up with a FPS with the slow pace of the first CURB.

Well, I have to admit I'm rather disappointed... I'm stuck in the opening room, and the Surgical Droid won't acknowledge me.. and I'm about ready to drive my boot through C3P0's face if he tells me abuot using the WAS & D keys one more time....
Also, where's the Chat window? How do I send tells?

Some things are nice, some are not so nice. I like that you can stil remap some key functions. I have always used the keyboard for movement so that is neat. Wasn't on long enuogh to find out if i could go into combat without holding mouse down though
Ashis/Ebus/Thelkyyra-Wanderhome You name it Ive probably done it. Except Jedi but close. "Do or do not, there is no try, " Words to live by.

Pretty sure that was a lag issue.... my wife killed em slow, I killed them lightening fast.
Here's an idea, stop giving out quest rewards to species if they can't wear it. Wow, what a concept.
I created my character on TC2, he is a Mon Cal, and after completing Learning the ways of the force quest I received a quest reward, Auric Symbol, (melee defense 2) but I can't wear it. That is crap, if every species can't wear something then either stop giving it out to them or give them something they can wear. What a waste of time. I'm hoping this is not what i have to look forward to.
I thought the new "over-the shoulder" view was a refreshing change. We'll see how it plays out when I can stay on for any length of time, I also had a problem getting on the Falcon...had to log. I also found a couple of other issues. It took me about five-minutes running around 2-1B before it registered and let me talk to him. The combat was interesting, that's all I can say at this point. I assume firing speed will get better as the characters level up and get better weapons. I like the new interface as well, at least the look of it. Since I didn't try much other content I didn't get to manipulate it at all.
The help window didn't allow me to scroll down using the scroll bar or my mousewheel, I sent a /bugreport on that. Also...no chat window?
I thought the new player quest was awesome...getting rescued by Han, Chewie and R2...great touch and the music definitely added to my excitement of trying out the new enhancements. Let's keep more of the same going...and get the Falcon fixed of course so we can continue to test.
