Hit 21 on the Sith Marauder, and 18 on the Sith Sorc, like 5 on the BH and 3 on the IA. I can say this game is a blast. Only one major gripe I have is when running flashpoints over and over and over and over in the beta, I seem to get a person who is doing it for the first time and they want to listen to the entire conversations when we do the multiplayer story chat. After hearing it 90000000 times it tends to make me crazy, I just skip it all and wait at the "waiting for other players" screen so i can make my choice and then wait some more for the next text block. The few times the group agree'd to skip it all it was quick, easy and a blast.
The bosses are no joke, if you do them at the level it becomes available you better have your dicks in a row. Kind of unforgiving in the first instance. There is a boss that requires the tank to kite it, while someone peels adds off and DPS's them down. Tons of AoE damage. Watching people who have never played an MMO or newbies to the game try it the first time is FUUUNNNNNNNNNNYYY :P
PvP is a riot. My test group is all over the place level wise, so they put everyone from level 10 to 50 in the same bracket and gave everyone a modified bolster buff. We all do the same damage and have the same health, only difference is the amount of skills players have dependent on their level. There are the 3 warzones, and each one is fun. Huttball makes me the angriest due to people being tards.
Game scales real well on machines, we have people in our test group playing on single core pentium D's with nvidia 9800gt's and they say they are getting 25-30 fps in the open world questing, but pvp and large cities drop frame rate a bit.
Still plenty of bugs, nothing super but what you expect to see in a game at this stage. some items have no art yet, or models, some have no name just place holders.
Sorc's are OP as 2 lesbians in a frat house in PvE when it comes to questing alone, they just never stop. Warriors are well balanced in my opinion. Marauders do not get much in the way of utility in the early levels so PvP can be frustrating if you are trying to be John Wayne.
I do not know much of the story, I skip most of the sequences when questing, not only for time saving but to save something for launch.
Hrm... I would rate my experience in the past 2 weeks of beta at 7. It would be higher, but I would say half the people in my test group are stupid asshats that have no idea what it means to be in beta and refuse to use the forums to look up issues or read FAQ's and deserve to be fisted with a hammer.
