Holy ****.
Just re-subscribed to tryout the new expansion, and let me tell ya my expectations were exceeded. Even if I spent so much time buying items for my companions via the AH, It's such a relief not having to worry about all that jazz anymore - plus I finally have some use for all the orange items I have with no stats on them. I also found my main tank on my Agent to be more efficient, she (Kaliyo) used to really suck. Maybe It's just laziness, but I'm liking the streamlined design of everything right now. It feels like they really wanted to improve the game.
I've pretty much moved to the EU servers though which is a bit of a shame... leaving my main Commando behind on the US side, but I just started a level 60 Vanguard on DPS spec which I'm loving at the moment. Not sure which class I'm gonna tryout next, always wanted a high level Jedi Guardian too.
Anyone else tried it out?
