I would like to say one thing.

When I think of myself in battle amidst the melee and whirl of the dance.

I DO NOT SEE myself switching weapons all the time. I fight with my sword, I fight with my cleaver, Ill fight with my hammer. But God Darn it. Ill fight the battle all the way through with that weapon. Its not realistic any other way. Except for maybe going unarmed to 2h or vice versa. And thats just on rare occasions. I dont like to think that my scrawny ass bothan carries about 400 pounds of weapons and equipment on him, and I play him as such.

Dont lose sight of this game. Its not just about macros and killing lots of stuff. Its about immersion into the star wars universe. Something many of us have been waiting to do for a very very long time. If it werent for the chance of me being able to create and most importantly BE the character I have always wanted to be in the star wars universe, i wouldnt be here right now.

This is also why im not rushing to become a master swordsman, or a master anything at that. And i do play ALOT. I feel that my character is growing up in this world from scratch, and that he needs to experience all professions and understand the universe, although never leaving the sword behind. I feel as if i am a more accomplished swordsman if i stop sometimes and do a few artisan missions or explorer missions. Or even the random missions and theme park missions. Hell, ive gone 8 hours without doing anything really at all except run around and immerse myself in the landscape and brilliance of what this game is. The amount of work involved in creating this game and the worlds is amazing and the Developers should be applauded for attempting such an once thought impossible task. Do it one day. Just go sight see. There are lots of things in this game, known and hidden that you can only witness if you put down your power hungry, super leveling freak weapons and just do one thing....




Hit the Numlock and GO....
