I'm currently playing SWTOR and it is becoming a little stale. I noticed it is on sale on Amazon and was wondering if it is worth it. Also what is good about this game in your opinion? I have a rather large Guild and I have to check with the community and see opinions on it before I can make the decision so I am trying to see what people overall are saying.

How is the PvP?
How/what is the Endgame?
How is the community?
How is the leveling experience?
How are the developers handling the criticism and how fast do they plan on dishing out content?

Thanks in advanced for helping me make my decision.

Note: I did play the Beta but on a bad computer so I did not get the full experience. Also I use a standard mouse would I NEED to upgrade to be good?

Hey Reaperchris,

Right now is probably the worst time to ask for opinions on this game, because they just released the cash shop. A lot of members are pretty upset over that, and other members are upset with the members that are upset lol.

To be completely honest, the best way to get an honest review of this game is to try it out. You can also check out youtube videos, and check out reviews from game sites.

I used this youtube channel to get an idea of the game before I bought it:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Domeran (Please keep in mind he uses Ktera. So there are some differences like endgame content isn't released yet, and they adjusted in game items / job classes.)

I'd really like to point you to this review video:

From what I've read on the forums most of all those points you bring up are conflicting. Just type in the search for pvp, endgame, community, and you'll get the jest of how the community feels.

I don't want to sound bad, mixed reviews personally quests are not fun solo or at all. Grouping/friends is the way to go. I love the combat, that's kinda it. It is also 50% off on amazon for US.

@Littleicebreaker: I understand the concern, but if someone is angry because of the cash shop hopefully they wont discredit the entire game. I am definitely going to watch that video though I have it buffering atm. Also can you give me a link to the cash shop so I can better udnerstand the issue or is it the Premium Shop thing at the front?

@ secretninja: Yeah I was wondering because of the %50 sale... do you know how long that will last btw? I never really expect leveling as a whole to be extremely fun except in SWTOR where to me the first time going through it was really fun. Have you had a chance to try any of the BAMs or GvG?

I would be grabbing the Digital Download which is $25 or $30 for the CE. Is there anything good in the CE?

i would recommend trying it.
its like your typical mmo, but with some fresh combat thats actually difficult in terms of high level dungeons and fighting.

the auction house is one of the best ive seen for trying to be an economist.

the locales are beautiful, and never get old.

the political system will be out soon, and give you a chance to pick a leader amongst your community for each territory. they control perks for each town/province, and can turn on open world pvp on pvp servers.

as for the forums, id avoid them. theyre full of the whiniest, dumbest, tiniest part of the minority of the community. the same 10 people spam them with repeat threads with the same idiotic arguments someone just destroyed.

if you avoid the forums, and sludge through the hour or 2 of idiots on noob island, youre in for a treat.
CE gives you special accesories and a lion mount

Yes... the primary thing I would say is the snow lion, which is a 280 speed mount at lv20, so your leveling experience is slighting faster than the others... you get a free 280 speed mount at lv60... but there's like 50 hours of gameplay time difference between those levels.
