     Nope, you can not, nor companions; It says "target not eligible" or something like it. I can confirm that because I tried today :>

    And I think they want to keep World PvP limited on worlds so that more people go to Ilum (less ganks, more balanced levels, etc). If Empire and Rep both have quests that take them to the same place then that would be a good place to PvP.

    Aye, but from Tat onwards factions are more shary with landmass.

    I am loving PvP in this game as well, and I can't wait to see what is in store on Illum.  PvP is almost an afterthough for me most of the time, as I'm much more PvE oriented.  Exceptions exist, like when I was playing Van. WoW and was in a PvP guild for quite some time when the BG's just came out.  So when my long time gaming buds invited me for PvP in SW:ToR, I joined and had a blast.  I play a Jugg, and am loving every minute of it.  I can Force Push my prey off ledges and things, to their death, I can force choke you and then stun u long enough to let my team mate score, or mess your world up.... Or I can just mess you up myself.  Even though I am immortal spec (read-full tank), I do decent dps and last like a champ.  I could go on and on, but somehow SW:ToR made the classes somewhat balanced and fun right out of the box considering PvP.

    I honestly couldn't say. I suffer from tunnel vision when I am about to jump a player V_V

    The first, hard one healed himself though, the second one didn't, maybe that helps. But I also recall the first one having a really big gun and the second one not.

    Yup, I completely echo that observation. You start off with a wide skill set and it only gets more and more and more. I think everyone has "hot-key dilemas" in SWTOR eventually :)

    yep,

     

    sounds about right,the first one was a commando and the second a vanguard..

     

    If they carry a big gun,they heal :)

    I felt like I was there with you! I really miss the feeling of Open World PVP. I haven't been able to do it as a low level in a fresh community where you know you have a chance cause there aren't high levels camping everywhere in awhile! Great Read!

    "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."

    How true, this was something i never expected. But i already have to many skills at lvl 25 to keybind my most used skills becouse i use most of em.

    1-2-3-4-q-e-c-x-z-f-r+3 mouse buttons aint enough it usaly is in mmorpg but this game is insane. Im missing 4 skills i want quick access to and im stil only 25.

    It was fun and refreshing to have that many usefull skills so early.

    This game might even force me to invest in a naga mouse ^^

    You won't see it at level 20.  Even though Nar Shaddaa is considered a contested zone, it's really not because both sides are segregated.  World PvP doesn't happen until level 24 when you get to Tatooine.

    That is becasue there are only 4 classes which from a pvp balance perspective was a very good move.

    True, but advanced classes are worlds appart sometimes though.
