Dunno about pvp but a lot of what I've been reading is that a lot more people *say* they plan to start with empire.

I for one will be defending the glory of the Republic when early access starts.

The pvp I played over the weekend was awesome. I even got one MVP vote in a game of Huttball. My son who pvped for 6 years in WoW loved it.

PVP here with a guild. Unless something changes with the warrior I will be playing a bounty hunter. I have heard that the imbalance between empire and republic players was due to many testers not choosing the side they will play on release. It will be interesting to see what happens.


Quickcord

Level cap is only 50 so, I'm gonna roll several different toons.

A ranged dps and stealth user for PvP and a healer for raids.

I am just not ready to determine which class I want use for these roles.

However, respeccing will be available so, it is safe to say that I will probably be rolling at least 1 of all 4 classes and leveling them to 50 to maximize my options.

Id like to have a dps trooper and dps consular, but Ill probably end up switching one to tank or heals if I cant find a well rounded raiding guild.

See, this right here is why I won't bother with SW:TOR and consider it an epic fail. This is NOTHING like a KOTOR 3 would be. There were no stupid "raids", PvP, or "healers"...none of this crap you just talked about. That's EQ/WoW-stuff. Throw a SW veneer on it and it's the same type of game, it's just a mod of it. If I made a SW model conversion for Red Orchestra 2, it wouldn't be a Star Wars game, it would be RO2 with SW models.

I wanted KOTOR with MP ability so I can have others playing in my party...in other words NWN2 but KOTOR era, or at the least what ME3 will be in the SW universe. It sounds like instead it's Star WarsQuest.

I really hate what MMOs have done to PC gaming.



The Jedi Master

Its illogical to call it a failure simply because it is not the type of game you want.

It will almost certainly succeed at first, like SWG did before it. It's what happens in the months after release that will determine if it will be a failure. SWG was an AMAZING gaming experience early on, bugs and all. It went on to fail when the corporation that owned it wanted to compete with wow. Wow was a more accessible game targeted at a wider audience. SWG was a niche game targeted at SW fans but, more importantly, harder core MMO players. It was not accessible because it had a steep learning curve and severe penalties on death for the alpha class, Jedi.

While I never played NWN2, it sounds like a fun game. I LOVE co-op gaming. It's one of my primary factors in deciding if I will purchase a game. I would LOVE a nice squad based co-op SW game but, it's not out there. What is coming is TOR and I will play it and enjoy it with my friends for at least a little while. I HOPE I enjoy it with them for a long, long time.

I dunno about fail, but what I do know is that I am uncomfortable with the Jedi class in this game. In every movie and game cutscene, the lightsaber is a deadly weapon. You do not have to survive any number of hits, one hit and you are sliced in half. Not so in this game. Oh well, I can still probably live with it. But I'm too cheap to purchase a subscription. A game, yes, but I don't like the idea of having to pay to keep playing.

Like in any game, concessions must be made in the interest of game play.

be good is over rated, all games makes you the good guy, or the "edgy" not so good guy, give me a game where i can be the freaking villain of the story !! i will wait review from a fanatic star wars friend before i go after this, if he likes it too much it means its garbage,thats the inner fanboy defending their kin,plus i dont like subscription services.
