1. It's possible to have 4 hotbars on the screen at once. Two at the bottom and one on each side.
2. Choices are more for alignment than anything, true, but there are some choices during the main storyline that affect how it plays/ends. IA is a great example of the different ways your story can go. (I'll refrain from spoilers but if you haven't played the Agent class you absolutely have to! Best story an in MMO by a mile, even beats a lot of single player stories imo. It's a MUST play!)
3. Crew skills are basically split into 3 categories: Gathering, 'Comp Missions' (basically gathering but there aren't nodes, only comps can go out and get), and crafting. If you look in your codex at a crafting skill it will recommend what two gathering skills to pick from. Might be a little overwhelming at first, but it's quite simple once you get the hang of it.
4. I do agree gear progresses rather fast which is why orange gear is the best! Just keep upgrading that baby via comms/crafting/gtn and it feels very Star Warsy imo.
I definitely enjoy this game and sounds like you would as well, if you aren't too bothered by a sub. I really haven't had any issue timesinks in this game as much as I have a few others. There's so much content in this game, solo and group, that I'm still finding new things to do. As long as you join a server with a good community then population issues that people complain about on here won't be an issue. The last week the game has been very active, I've seen several servers with short ques even.
If anything you should check it back out when 1.2 hits.
I'm still enjoying my time in TOR. I thought about the Tera beta, but I'm looking for something I can jump right into. Besides I'd like to get my current char to 50 so I don't feel guilty about re-rolling when 1.2 hits.
@Tizmah You haven't been here long have you? It doesn't matter whether or not the criticism is constructive, if it isn't positive about what's 'hot' (and until it releases that'll be GW2, then it'll get turned on for not redefining the genre) you'll get downvoted regardless of how valid your opinion is.
You're free to be a fanboy all you want, but don't insult others because they aren't.
Although if it was strictly items like you'd see in the Pokemarts (balls, potions, evolution stones) I'd be all for it. I just wouldn't trust anyone but myself to develop the game. I would never ever forgive for ruining the Pokemon IP!
I was going to say Pokemon, but F2P? No, just no. It would break my heart to see Pokemon for sale in the cash shop! A sight like that is one that would make me forsake the entire genre.
Is this the Lethality that was active in the TOR community when the forums were first released (probably after as well but I know I stopped going there after about 6 months)? When we had that awesome mIRC going before the trolls stepped in?
If so I'd love to hear your take on the game! If you don't mind, that is.
