Character Rethinks?

[SonnyCorle]

So most of us got to play in the recent beta weekends. Of which I played just about every basic class to at least level 12.

On other forums I have noticed a lot of people have decided to roll a different class as their main after trying them out on the beta.

The notion is different for us role-players. Some of us have spent a lot of time designing and creating our mains. And have known for months, what class and style we want them to be.

I for one was relieved that the trooper class was so much fun to play. But I think I might have to level as a combat medic, after seeing so many "Looking for healer" requests in the general chat. Especially considering healers can still put out decent dps.

Cyborg was my first choice too. But due to the lack of decent options, I may have to re-evaluate.

My question is. Have you had to rethink anything about your character after actually playing the game?

Nope i just had to come to terms that my class will be one of the hardest to play (o:

Apart from the Consular I also played all the classes up to level 10 or so, even going high enough to have a bash at the space combat on a couple.

I was seriously considering switching to a Jedi Knight as main character as I wasn't sure about the cover system. After this weekend decided they're both good fun so I'm sticking with gunslinger as my main but will definitely have a Jedi Knight Guardian as an alt - just need to sort out a bio for him.

I will be dabbling in the darkside too. Rude not to if you ask me.

I was almost entirely satisfied with trooper. There was only one exception. I imagined Grao's voice like the voice of the male bounty hunter. But it is not a big deal. The trooper's voice is also good and I will get used to it.

It is not true for alts. I wanted to play a jedi consular alt character, but it is not my class. There were too few ironic answer for my taste, so I tried the sith inquisitor and that was jackpot. So one of my alts will be a light sided sith inquisitor.

Yea definitely doing some re-thinking. My main will be a JK Sentinel, but I see a Consular Sage now as a second main instead of an alt... Want to check out some of the other classes too. Feels like TOR will be an alt heavy game.

I didn't play smuggler, Pata did and he told me it will be al right with Nekni, and she will be light sided, I trust him in that. When he started to tell me more I stopped him.

I only did the character generation on republic side, skipped the intro too. And after that I rewrote some parts of my bio, because there is no option to choose a Zabrak without a Tattoo. And the face tattoos made by ritual ink after passing the trials of the rite of passage in the clan called Selenoren, is something that my Nekni wouldn't fake, but regarding to her bio she had no clan at the time she come of age. So I had to create a clan for her, where she was adopted, because first I wanted to play her as a tlestri - a lesser one, who didn't had a Selenoren, and someone who is proud of that, but that didn't works if everyone in game sees her like she had one. And all the tattoo options were too characteristic for me to be able to say that I'll imagine that is not here. Otherwise I'll stick with my original plans.

Interesting. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed my Imperial agent. I began to really like the cover mechanic. Although it did feel a little clunky in pvp.

Lisszia, maybe they'll allow hair and tattoo changes in game. That would help with the lore of your character. With the hope of more options patched in down the line.

Imperial Agent was a lot of fun, and I intend to have an alt for it at least.
I haven't had any rethinks on my main though to be honest. I might sometime in the future, but I haven't really played Consular in beta anyway.
Though I did rummage a bit on the Inquisitor (the mirror class) and it felt pretty good really.
So I do not expect any issues there

I was thinking of rolling JJ as a cyborg before I tried the beta. After messing with the character creation for a long while, I decided that the cyborg options are crap. It's a joke to be honest. I don't think it should be a race at all, but all races should have the option for cyborg parts.

Other than that I'm happy with JJ, but I haven't tried smuggler in the beta, so no idea how that plays out.

Missed beta due to holiday which means atm i can only base class choice on story/style and videos ive seen. I saw the cover vid someone posted and it made more sense(even though I havent played).
Alt will probably be very nasty BH, though I am leaning towards a trooper instead. However main will still be a Smugggleroo.
