I won't complain yet cause its obviously not final, but I hope they balance out the lack of things like Haunt or the spell power component in Fel Armor.

Hope they rename it Fel Demon Armor. :P

Wauw, both Chaos Bolt and Haunt getting removed.
The only thing I'm not liking so far is Fel Flame not extending the duration of immo and UA. But oh well.
Edit: also, I noticed for the "Grimoire of Supremacy" talent, they listed 6 demons. We have 5, or 7 if you take infernal and doomguard into account. So either this means a new demon (probably not), or infernal and doomguard will change into the same evolved form ... or I missed something somewhere :)

You don't need to worry about the balance of things. When a new expansion comes around all numbers get reset and balancing starts anew. As such things like Fel Armour don't matter.
As for Haunt, the mechanic for Haunt was to increase your DoT damage on only one target. DoTs are tricky because they have high DPET but low DPS. Their damage is regulated by the fact that they're a relatively small part of your rotation. However, this means that if you have enough mobs to cast lots of DoTs and few fillers then you do lots of damage. They balance this for Affliction with Haunt by reducing the regular damage of DoTs and only buffing DoT damage on a single target and still we see a good return if we can multiDoT.
Malefic Grasp looks like it's taking on that role and does so with a filler spell that also benefits from Affliction Mastery.

Btw Asakawa, are you gonna beta test TOR this weekend? ^_^

&%$! yeah!
The comment rating system isn't in place over at Torhead yet so I'm also on duty deleting trash comments (the contest is gonna bring lots of these I'm sure). Sadly I can't take part in the EU (or as a moderator for that matter) but I'll still be trying to help fill out the DB with useful comments and screenshots.

:) I'll try and do some commenting as well, but seeing as I didn't even do a lot of that on WoW, I'm not too sure of how much use I'll be :p
It's a bit sad that public beta just happens to be THIS weekend, when I already had plenty of stuff planned (which is quite rare lol) ...

I was in a weekend test a few weeks ago, holy crap was it laggy. I don't even want to know how bad the servers are going to be today...

There were some sizeable queues (apparently, I got in seconds after the servers went up and never logged off) but I had zero lag issues in game.
Love.
This.
Game.

You'd be surprised. I just asked a guildy if he'll play TOR, and his response: "I heard the game was overhyped, it is actually kinda !@#$ty". And when I was in the beta, I saw people yapping about graphics and crap in /general ...
I love it as well though :D. Soon I'll be playing 2 MMO's, oh what a pain! (I got reminded of that tonight, because it got announced on mmo-champ that 4.3 will be released this week).

~4 days late, but eh~
Imp - Fel Imp
Voidwalker - Void Lord
Succubus - Shivan
Felhunter - Beholder
Infernal - Abyssal
Doomguard - Terrorguard
Felguard - Wrathguard
The first 6 listed were/are the 6 all Locks get. The Felguard wasn't included, but the Dev interview they had at some point (a week or two ago? I don't know >_<) confirmed they'd forgotten to include it in the talent, and that the Felguard would be replaced by the Wrathguard if you took GoS.

There were so many people talking about comparisons to WoW in general that I just closed chat so I could enjoy a brand new world.
Same here. But my problem with people were that they complained about frickin graphics. Come the f**k on, no one cares about graphics in an MMO (at least I don't). There were indeed also people complaining about the slow leveling speed, but if you're gonna play a story-driven game, you can expect it to go slower than WoW where you open the quest, click accept and move on instead of reading it (although my brother DOES read it, mind you).
I did my first flashpoint with only 2 people btw, myself included ^_^ He was even a commando just like myself! We did just fine, but he dc'ed right before what I can assume was the last boss ...

Alright, cheers for clearing that up :)

I played consular and found that Shadows (Assassin equivalent) look badass but aren't for me... at all.
Really can't wait to roll Sith Inquisitor. I'm gonna go Sorcerer too and I'm looking at a hybrid build that focusses on Force Lightning as it's filler but goes deep enough into Lightning for some nice AoE.
I two manned the very first instance (the level 10 one) and 4manned the following one. Got to level 23.
The world(s) is so awesome.
