It's because the tanking companion we got aint worth shit, and many other snipers raise this issue on the forums. I am currently level 32 and I have to resurrect her after pretty much every encounter. She needs much more damage reduction and/or a heal-on-hit mechanic.
My suggestion, yes it sucks, for now, roll a new class. You will only have a much better time.
Yeah, I was thinking to go Bounty Hunter like I was in beta when I started playing ... but then I went sniper because pure DPS (cause I've had my share of healing and tanking throughout my MMO years). Welp, time to roll an alt!
And uuuh hope we can change Legacy names at some point. I was out of ideas and just wrote "Tractorpulling" ... so now all my characters have Tractorpulling as surname.

oooooookaaay i have to complain about this somewhere so here we go.
you can't buy the game on origin, out of stock. digitial distribution. out of stock. what good is origin exactly if it has worse stock than a brick and mortar shop? useless, useless shit.
then you have a key, you go to redeem the code on origin, and no.. you have to sign up to the SWTOR website. launch the website, and boom, you are in a queue.. to VIEW the website. a queue. on a website.
fuck off. i don't for a second believe that is neccesary. reddit has 10 million unique views a day, i don't for a second believe that some shitty mmo has 10 million people trying to view the website.
this whole thing is a massive fucking fail. i don't even want to play the game, a couple friends do, so i get some codes and log on myself, but this is one of the most pathetic launches i've ever seen. and i was there for the age of conan launch.

Its really odd its sold out, I hear rumors they ran out of server space Rick. The Que thing for the website when I had to put in my code sucks ass but the most useless thing is Origin.
Have some patience though, there are probably 10 million people clogging up the toilet. 
Speaking about bad launches, I wasn't even able to get WoW when it released for almost 2 weeks because they had no server space and sold out of copies.
server space 
they knew this was going to be big and they don't prepare for it? idiots.
same with origin, it's digital, how can you sell out?
i have to go to a proper game store tonight to pick up copies for my friends because they cannot buy it over origin. that's fucking stupid.
terrible planning.

Yeah this is a big issue. Some of the analysis in my circle is that this has been part real and part planned. Back in the early part of the Wii cycle there was belief Nintendo constrained supply of the hardware to generate demand hysteria. If you recall in 2006 and early 2007 Wii's were going for way above retail price on Ebay. Same thing happened around the 360 and PS3 at their respective launches (which meant a PS3 would go for more than $1k on Ebay? fuuuuuuuuu!) How much of the supply constraint was real or not is to be debated, but for SWTOR, it's not exactly like they couldn't add servers quickly and cheaply. The technology for running MMO back-ends isn't exactly new. Rapid upscaling is a lot more feasible today than it was just a couple of years ago.
Meanwhile, your other point about the multiple logins is dead on. I'm miffed at EA for making it that complicated. [Blocked Image: https://migrationtest.mapcore.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mapcore_smilies/emot_shakehead.gif]
i can 100% believe this is a fabricated supply problem.

They've said that they're aware of the queuing but won't fix it because the pressure will soon drop off. Which is a bit pessimistic, but probably accurate as well

Ears look terrible Some of the blurry ass armor textures kinda suck, hope they fix those issues. However, higher level gear looks more sharp, its just hard to get.

Imagine the relief the overextended voice-dialog-mocap-lip-sync team felt when this guy came up.
...I haven't had a chance to play yet...do Vader wannabe characters always have a breathing mask on?

You can take off your mask the same way you can in WOW and he would speak/lip sync and all as normal. When wearing any type of mask, your voice becomes more robotic sounding, like vader. Its a nice touch.

Ah cool.
Think back to when WoW launched, it was an absolute mess. To say it's easy to setup ready for an MMO of this scale is kinda stupid. A few MMO's recently did a good job at launch but the scale is completely different.
Btw, just got it and I'm installing now
I'm prepared for a month of hell and back, full servers, crashing and bugs :embarrassed: it's the way of the force
If you want to have an enjoyable solo experience: avoid Imperial Agent Sniper. The more I play it, the more I regret my choice and punch myself for not going with Bounty Hunter as I first thought 
I just tried one of the space missions.
It's probably the worst gameplay I've played this year. holy shit it was bad. i am impressed with how shitty it was.
I thought it was the best mini game I have played this year. Its just starfox. Some of the later missions get much better, and alot more challenging. The first missions were garbage.
Enjoying the view. (but tbh, we were actually waiting for a friend to meet us there, )

This game is awesome, reminds me of Kotor only online with allot more polish.
I've had no technical issues as of yet, noticed no bugs either. Of course I'm only 10 hours in and soloing with companions
