Eechi-go Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 http://www.swtor.com/ They don't have much up yet, but was anyone looking forward to this? Since SWG tanked by selling out, this is probably going to take up it's previous mantle and go on to be better then all the KOTOR's yet. Atleast I hope so, the problem with a Star Wars game is that everyone wants to be a Jedi, so I'm curious on how they'll function in TOR.

Rei Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Two functions: Jedi and Sith each with unique classes and races. I had TWG and left before it sold out, so I have little hope for a star wars RPG (Unless I can meet Ankin Solo) but I'll give the beta/demo a shot.

Cellar Door Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I might play it, given that many of my irl friends will be buying it. It's the same thing I did with WoW. I jump on the bandwagon late though... so I'll probably end up having to buy four Old Republic expansions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowhatnow Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm not getting my hopes up, but at least we're (hopefully) deviating from purely Jedi/Sith RPG gameplay with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagori Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm not a huge fan MMORPG's, and if I read right, that's what this new Star Wars game is, correct? Depending upon its cost, I may or may not get it. I'm not a big fan of monthly fees just to play a game online. Now, if it also came with a single-player aspect (without aforementioned fees) then I'd look into it, but if it's strictly online, like FFXI was, then probably not.

Maelstrom Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 So, new gameplay footage out. Gotta say, it looks pretty damn amazing. Never was a huge MMO fan, or a Star Wars fan for that matter, but the KOTOR games were phenomenal, and this game promises to be nothing less than spectacular. Anyone else as excited about this game as I am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baromosa Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hell yes, I'm going to preorder this game as soon as I can. (Big KOTOR fan) They seem like they will do a wonderful job. Voice overs, decision making ,and a sweeeeet sith warrior class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokujin Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I usually have no interest in P2P mmos, but I'm a big fan of the KOTOR series and may very well jump into this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volratho Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 This game is most definitely on my buy list! I am a huge KOTOR fan and I was a fan of SWG. (Actually my character still exists, but my brother plays it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfnin Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Bioware + Star Wars = Epic Win I really have to say, I'm psyched for this game. Running around as Jedi If I see any one of you people as sith's...I shall hunt you down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eechi-go Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 More updates on this game. All classes are up now, and I find it strange they made 2 force users per faction, but it seems as if their gameplay will be very diffrent depending on which you decide to play. I'm personally digging the inquisitor. Also, it seems as if you can essentially play through your class story as if it were a single player game. Bioware stated that one class story has the same amount of depth that an entire Bioware game would have. That, to me, is impressive. It also looks like they're trying to deviate from the boring trinity, endgame system. You know, the old tank, healer, and dpser. Which is good, since the SW universe wouldn't make sense to create 'tanks' for, given that blaster technology is the most used weapon.

Anima Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Honestly I would have rather seen a console game than an MMO, well a finished console game (Kotor 2). In my opinion, if it's not broken don't fix it. (Trinity) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eechi-go Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 But it IS broken, it alienates players and forces them to do jobs they don't want to do. It's a video game they'll be paying likely 15 bucks a month to play, having it seem like a job kills the point, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspiration Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 so, is it like....pay every month like WoW? cause i remember playing GW before and it was free and pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Zero Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Inspiration: so, is it like....pay every month like WoW? cause i remember playing GW before and it was free and pretty good. Yep, the subscription plans will probably be similar to WoW. I'm kinda hyped about the game mainly because it's kotor and bioware. I'm not all on board with the mmorpg part though. If the class I take is forced to be restricted as a tank, healer, damage, or support type then I'll stick a bunch of starving ewoks in a box and ship them to bioware so when they open the box the ewoks will cannibalize the staff. But if bioware can deliver The Old Repulic like the kotor series or mass effect then I'm all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eechi-go Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Soooo, a year and a half later and we finally have a release date! Looks like this baby comes out December 20th, but if you pre-order, you can gain early access. I assume that's to keep the servers from being flooded upon it's initial release so it's not unplayable.

Eechi-go Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Was invited into the last two weekend beta, alongside some other members (Rhap Sodos and Blackrose), and got a chance to play the game en masse with a shit ton of other players. NDA was blown off. It's awesome guys, real awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full-metal Dragon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have the beta as well, its amazing, nothing bad I can say about it, other than itll prolly take more of my time than WoW and DCU does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 So, what server does everyone play on? I've been on Canderous Ordo since 'early access' began. Level 24 Sith Jug at the moment. It's amazing how many people have hit the level cap already. Frightening, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
