so aftertwo very lengthy WS sessions i needed to get out an fight....respec'd and hit a few low level things. Time to up the target level. Krayts
So i barely know which icon is which or what they really do, so i just tried em out willy nilly and slowly got a feel for some of them
But after a battle or two I realize I am not really seeing the battle, I am spending most of my visual-time watching my toolbar....err I don't like it. I wanna partcipate and watch the battle as i fight not have most of my attention on the toolbar. Kinda makes those 'visual aids' on states and moves etc etc etc even more redundant, no?
Also found the lack of animations severely disappointing, so even when i did catch glimpses the action it was all rather bland, ney boring.
It's not very fast-paced either, which rather takes away from the excitement and 'star wars feel' of it as well
...okay so three negatives

/agree. I enjoyed watching the fight. Now I have to sit there and look at the icons change colors. I dislike the CU.

funny thing was a few weeks before CU i was watching the movies and was wishing combat in-game was more like that,more fastrpace with more animations
watching em make me want to experience Star Wars more, but when i get in it just doesn't feel err action-packed
more animations and less special effects would be a start
and some form of alternative to watching the toolbar so i can at least experience what is there

I've been master swords for over the last year now. The big thing is they are trying to make classes have roles now. Not just any class can solo everything. They want there to be actual tanks/dps/healers like other games. I don't think it's a bad idea, because it will help the community grow back together since for the longest time soloing or solo groups has been the biggest thing to do in the game.
