and it looks like an xbox game graphic wise

1st impression = 2 thumbs down

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)

Not happy with it at all. I am, as others are, stuck in the New Player Tutorial. I cannot board the Falcon, but the biggest things I saw were "he who stands still while shooting will win" and crates were being shot through to hit me clean. Also, NO CHAT BOX! What the hell is that? I saw no way around using the WASD keys to move. Despite us being told we would not need to press enter to chat....that is exactly what you have to do.

There is no way in the fiery depths of hell that this will be ready in time for the 15th. For God's sake, STOP RUSHING CRAP LIKE THIS.

I to made it to the falcon only.

Wow, action paced combat - something I could have in over (just a guess here) 1000 diferent video games, including a host of star wars video games, with no monthly fees.

>no way to chat or communicate with friends or group members while fighting?  What were you realy thinking, please be honest for once!

>seems like the community aspects that held SWG seperate from all the rest and made it worth paying for is gone.

I'm dying to get past the falcon to see the live interface.  Hope my instincts are wrong, but I think I f'n hate it so much that I want revenge!

Tiggs, I'm kind of mad, but happy. The graphics are great now, and the way it works is pretty cool so far. But Han was stuck on saying "C'mon, get over here kid" or something, and he was that way for 10 minutes and wasn't registering me right there, and I try to log out and fix it, and I cannot get back in. If I could get help it would be greatly appreciated?

The movement is jerky, and the controls will take some time to customize. . . but it actually FEELS like Star Wars which is what I've been wanting all along.  I can adapt to everything except for maybe the choppy movement if its ACTUALLY Star Wars.

Also, you might want to reconsider the killing of Storm Troopers in the tutorial for any future players who start the game and want to be Imperial.  I am aware of the tacit bias against the empire by the development staff, but I think its distasteful to build it into the beginning process for newbies.

• Graphics look largely the same with the exception of some HUD changes 
• Good voiceovers
• Based on the 3 troopers I was able to fight, first impression of combat is that it stinks.  You now just click on a target to shoot them, which to me is far less tactical than the current function-key style.  Of course, I'm not able to use specials or anything at this stage, so I can't say for sure, but this looks like carpal-tunnel city to me, and boring.
• The player speed increase is nice

Hmmm, well considering I seem to be trapped in the first room you start in... I am supposed to interact with the medical 21B droid but can't seem to initiate any kind of interaction, when using the ~ option the only radial menu i get is "Examine" and that does nothing, obviously.  Any help here would be appreciated.

Other than that... In character creation I sat there for about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to customize my characters look, even going as far as clicking randomize a bajillion times before finally saying forget it and seeing the customization options on the next step, which was kind of misleading. I would suggest adding a mouse sensitivity slider in the options menu, the panning and view movements are a bit twitchy and fast, more so than I find comfortable, I tried adjusting joystick sensitivity but this didn't seem to do anything for my mouse sensitivity.

Woa... odd, while I was writing this post, the "Talk to the 21B droid" -mission- finally ended, it seems as if they game wasn't recognizing my characters position in the room... just speculation at this point.

Anyway... i find the general UI kind of bland and generic, could definitely use some sprucing up. I'd also suggest a variety of selectable mouse cursor schemes, including the crosshairs to suit each player, some might prefer different styles.

The Skill progression screen (I choose to be a Jedi) is, quite frankly, lame... I'm not sure how comfortable I am seeing Luke everytime I open that window (not a huge fan of Luke )

I'll post more when I've experienced more... back to the game

Just finally got to really looking at the class progression screens...I'm kinda bummed. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of choice on your skill progression if any at all. Combat is based on clicking as fast as you can, so whoever has the best gear and the lowest server latency wins!
