Cool. For a slow leveling POS like myself, how are the encounters? Are you guys enjoying the end game content?

I'm personally really enjoying leveling…unlike any MMO I've played. The story lines are great as I expected from BioWare.

I've started a character in every class :P probably why my highest level is 32.

What's Cool:

1. Doing bosses for the first time. It's always exciting to do bosses for the first time and 'learn' the encounter.

2. Gearing up - many of us are receiving much needed upgrades to prepare for future content. Not everyone likes to PvP for gear

3. Eternity Vault is pretty diverse, graphically. I enjoyed seeing the setting/background and each boss in that area is unique and looks different.

4. Lockouts are set so that normal mode is on a different lockout than hard/nightmare modes.

What's Not:

1. Loot in normal mode is round robin, we get no say in who gets loot resulting in worthless/duplicate gear distributions.

2. Bugs. Lots and lots of small glitches. It seems to get worse once you start doing hard mode / nightmare operations.

3. Difficulty - I really don't understand why 4 man hard mode flashpoints are more difficult than 8 man normal operations. The gear reward is pretty much the same from each too.

4. Lack of Off-Tank role. 1 Tank, 5 DPS, 2 Healers. You can clear all current raid content with this setup. I really wish 2 tanks were needed, but harsh enrage timers make this almost impossible.

5. Melee DPS. Currently, stacking ranged DPS is the way to go and content heavily favors bringing more ranged than melee. Something should be changed to compensate melee to make them more friendly for raid encounters.

Thanks, good info. Sad to hear that it's yet another game favoring ranged DPS. Hopefully BW can tune it up.
