The Old Republic

[Lissa]

I really only have 2 complaints so far. I want a sprint, or to be able to move faster around the large starting areas. The binding point is an interesting system, but maybe bring the CD for that down to 15 minutes, instead of 30.

Fear not, you get that at 14. So you get an always on when not in combat speed increase and then you can buy speeder skill (mount) at 25 for 44k total (40k for the skill, 4k for the speeder) which is easily doable by 25 unless you go nuts running crew missions.

The other gripe is one that I'm not sure is a good gripe. I don't like the lag. I'm put very much in mind of the early days of Ironforge. It's bad enough (which, I realize, it's a stress test beta, after all, ffs, yes, yes...) But it's bad enough that I can't run around the main areas (Academy, etc) without running into walls all the time.

That might be a system issue. The only issues I've run into lag, even on the stress test weekends, has been to server side code on certain planets (hello Tatooine) and something that appears to be with their switches or some other aspect where there are 30s spikes where you can't do anything and have to hope you and your companion are still alive when the lag clears (if you companion is a healing one, good chance you'll both be alive or if you are not getting beat on by a strong and an elite or a pair of strongs or pair of elites).
