Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR) Review

I just got Star Wars The Old Republic (SWTOR) for the PC this Christmas. I can tell already I’ll be losing a ton of sleep (and work) playing this gem! It took a while to install, but when it was done I settled in with a pizza and a six pack and hit the game hard!

swtorbookThe first thing I noticed was that it brought to the forefront how antiquated my graphics card is. I was using a 7 year old NVidia chip graphics card that was OK for playing older games, but when I loaded SWTOR and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 I knew it was time to upgrade. I bought a 9500GT and it seems to working well. It’s not perfect, but a great budget card that will get you by if your system has trouble keeping up with the load from these newer games.

The second thing I noticed was that I needed help! I never played WoW and it has been a long time since I played Everquest. I had no idea what the terminology was, or even how the leveling system worked. What class should I choose? What Guild? I began searching for some sort of help in getting my SWTOR skills on track. Then I found it.

I took a chance and ordered SWTOR Savior, and man was I thankful. The guide helped me not only better understand the paths and direction, it also clarified the best leveling techniques for my chosen class and abilities.

Check out their sales page and see for yourself. It’s money well spent… that is if you’d rather not spend DAYS trying to figure this stuff out. I highly recommend reading it first, then applying the tactics.
