Played so far to Level 12. I really like the "Mass Effect"-esque system, and, since I haven't played since last December (I was with Electronic Arts back then), I really like the how everything came out.
1. Yes, the early release system is slightly unfair, but its the most fair system for a humongous launch.
Hear my arguments on this, when you allow everyone to get in at the exact same time, now 100% of people cannot play since the starting zones are overpopulated, or servers crash from x million players logging in at the same time. The "waved" system over 7 days has helped out tremendously. It also gives an incentive for players to pre-order early, which means the company can show success earlier and get more time and resources to develop the game. It has paid off and I applaud it.
2. The game is pretty stable.
So far, I haven't had too many issues. I've had vertices on people's faces attached to their knees, but, besides that, I haven't had game-breaking issues. Although, the game doesn't like when you alt-tab when you are in fullscreen mode.
3. While the game has soulless faces, the story is still very intriguing and engaging.
I'm so glad that the story is so well done. The voice acting sometimes phones it in (Nolan North for both Jedi Consular Male small and Jedi Consular Male fat...enough said), but the story is good enough that I actually want to listen to the content (and forget how they just screamed at a person and it sounds like they are lightly caressing them with their voice.) I've found that I find myself watching and listening to the voices, instead of hitting the spacebar to skip. I do, however, skip the alien voices when I'm done reading (which is generally 5-30 seconds before they finish talking).
I'm looking forward to getting to Level 50. However, I have to maintain my job, which will pay for me being able to buy/support the game after launch.
