I want I want I want to play swtor

Bleh, get 6 minutes of blank screen and all the youtubes are pulled as fast as they come up :D
At least people seem to keep uploading it as fast :D SMEXY trailer.
Oh the choices it will be.. sith or jedi, force sensitive or not. Fun side or good looking underdog ('cuz everyone and their cousin will play sith).
-
I cant decide if I want a consulor or jedi knight ;D the republic side will be the least played because 99% of the player base will want to be evil.
-
>.>
I like playing Evil, but good is just as good some days.
-
I will dabble in both, though will mostly play light/good side. Going evil is fun once and a while- but I much prefer to thwart the forces of evil than join them.
-
Well I guess I'm just a bad girl then. I actually enjoyed playing the dark side in SWG, although a change might be interesting too. :)
-
*hopes for option to 'fall' ;D
-
Heh. I thought the Jedi girl in the video this week kicked totally ass and was cute to boot.
-
I'd like to play a bounty hunter, but not if it forces you to play for the dark side. You should be independent. Same thing goes for the Smugglers. I'm sure The Internet has pointed that out. I guess Bioware just had to draw a line in the sand...

That video on the official site really sold it for me. It shows gameplay footage for lots of classes.
-
Looks like a lot of interest in SWTOR. I'm just curious to see how it works with our guild. Will we need to choose which side (good or bad) our guild will be on or will it support both sides? ;D
-
There haven't been any official decisions made yet, but I'm guessing we'll go Republic as our guild faction, possibly with a dark side "sister" guild under a different name for folks who want to play dark side alts. Some of the things the sith do go against the RBW image as a guild, e.g., in episode 3 when dark side Anakin murdered all the younglings in the Jedi temple. :o
I agree with the idea that Bounty Hunters and Smugglers should be neutral, or at least allowed to be neutral.
-
It has been looking more and more amazing as the updates come. One think i was really happy with were the ships they are allowing us for a type of housing/meeting area. I also wish there was more of a "netural faction" for them as well, but we will see how things shape up, so far they look great! ;D
-
Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't been able to find anything specific on PVP. Just wondering if it's going to be a big ganking party or will there be other options. Does anyone have any information on this.
-
There will be planets, like Alderaan, designated as PVP zones.
-
Excellent! Thank you for clarifying this for me Kayhynn. :)
-
No problem. Job of being a video game reporter comes in handy some days.
-
That looks awesome!!! :D
-
almost every day this game comes into my mind, regardless if i look at anything star wars related... I simply cannot wait to play it early next year... hope i get chosen for beta testing in another round or so
-
At this point we would be looking at going to the "Light Side" for the game overall however there will be a discussion for the "Dark side" sister guild. Overall I would like to start taking applicaitons for the Project Offficers for the game... One that may become the Force Commander and Company Commmander once we are established and reach critical mass.

I too would be willing to at least help get something started once the game gets closer to release.
-
New planet annouced today!! Nar Shaddaa! Check it out here, it looks great! This game is seriously driving me nuts with anticipation! :P

It will all of us the one thing we need to do is to decide how fast we can form and how fast we should recruit. I would like to have a full court press on this game overall.

The one thing about the Watch that has always impressed me is how fast we can get formed on a game. I think WAR took the gang about a week if that to get a good solid foundation. The only thing that I notcied with WAR was the low pop server killed us. There wasnt enough people to recruit. I think as long as we can find a well populated server we should be able to do well and I would say recruit as fast as we can, but still going about it the right way so we get solid people/players out of it. Just thinking out loud. :)
-
I can tell you with my connections across a few LOTRO servers that theres gonna be a massive influx from these players, of course this is still very early, but I do know that much. many people just from our server, Gladden, will be joining the game, not just from our kinship either.
-
I myself will be joining SWTOR as soon as possible, whether it be in a beta or just at launch. You can be sure that Ill be ingame and helping the Watch in any way I can, though I dont know if I will be taking officer duties. My own playtime hasnt been what I would call steady over the last few months, so I cant commit to anything other than being in game as much as I can, and recruiting as much as I can.
-
As it stands now I'll be giving SWTOR a try at the earliest possible time. Of course I can't say whether I will like it enough to remain, but I'm going to try it at least.
-
Indeed and as such I would like to see a bit more of a robust command staff. Sort of the same way that we formed in LORTO. I believe that I will be on at Launch and we will start deciding early based on the members present our setup.
One thing that I seem to be missing is how guilds or whatever they are called are setup?
Connor
-
Not released yet, Connore, we'll have to keep watching the friday updates for months, possibly till we find out how guilds/clans/kins are created in TOR.
-
I would like to point out (since I help run the gaming site heh) that EOGamer has a forum dedicated to SWTOR and posts all the news they send our way there.
You can access that individual forum here: http://forums.eogamer.com/forumdisplay.php?70-Star-Wars-The-Old-Republic

So is it pathetic to already be picking names and lining them up with races and classes...comp lete with alternate names, and races 'possible to be added' (Togruta I'm looking at you...)?
..haven't even made the first and already considering making a second character of some classes :-[
-
with barely anything to go on other than some locations and just class names, yea, i'd say its a little soon. not even all races have been revealed yet
-

Be fair, they have released more than 'just names', like listing some skillsets (http://www.swtor.com/news/blog/20101001"). Add in hints dropped by devs and such, and you can try to reverse some statements and build up expectations.. . which of course assuredly won't be lived up to but *shrug* it's in our nature. Although I already know someone who hyped himself up, then pessimisted himself so harsh..he's already given up on the game as a letdown ;D
-
the jedi wizard name was a bit of a stretch, regardless of what their reasoning is (so what if Uncle Ben said it once) , it just doesnt sound science fiction, too fantasy. Hope they listen and change it.

Agreed. Always looked at 'jedi wizard' as being the term used by uninformed yokels or superstitious people. Akin to scifi's human asking the alien to "use your technothingama bobber".
Having the Jedi themselves use it just feels wrong, like a chemist calling his craft 'alchemy'.
Although..we associate wizard with magic, but the word's root is 'wise'..so it could be an attempt to convey a more spiritual widom-based path of Jedi.
Or maybe they are just good at pinball :P
-
and i told tadik this, jedi wizard is a bit redundant. and yea, maybe they'll just be really good at pinball :D
-
lol-I love that we have a very intelligent group of people in the Watch, and as such, have tendencies to get a bit off the original subject.
I guess our proverbial wheels are turning too quickly to merely stay on point...hehehe
Thank you op for posting this thread about the trailer....... lol.....I am on the fence about trying this game, but the recent meeting and this
trailer made me much more interested.
Thanks!

am curious as to which side RBW will be on for this? I personaly will be on the side of the Sith no matter what.
-
look down in our other forum for the actual Company post about Light vs. Dark ~ http://www.royalblackwatch.net/forums/index.php?topic=6093.0 ~ the RBW is historically on the "good" side - so you'll be wanting on the light side at least to start if you want to be in the company. Examples where we branch into the other side include WoW - we'll likely do it in ToR, but again, we're going Republic at launch.
-
Thx for the answer Aeren. Question is then, seeing as I will be Sith, what will happen to my standing in RBW? Not that I have even earned a rank yet. I'm an old man & very steadfast in my ways. lol ;)
-

It is not a question of what will happen to you as much as it is, what do you want from RBW, your game play, and this game in particular.
Though, you are set on which side you would like to play, indicating Sith, as Aeren stated, the RBW will begin on an opposing side. Therefore, to
join us in this game initially, you would need to be with us as Jedi. Will you be beaten about the face and neck, hog tied, or tossed from the RBW? NO!
But we would love it, if all of our members that play this game would support the team decision and ride with us for a bit as we play through this
path. I am sure that eventually, if for nothing else but to experience all aspects of the game, their will be off-shoots of the RBW on the Sith side.
I hope this helps. If anyone has anything to add that I may have left out, please do so.
Mioel

I agree with Mioel on every thing he said. I would think we would all support RBW in this MMO! After our first TOR Teamspeak meeting last month, I am thinking we are going to have a Great time and a Dinamic Guild in TOR. ;D
-
I my be for the republic but I am going to be the meanest nastiest evil Jedi there is ;)
ummm....how could you possibly be an evil, meanie, Sith in disguise, nasty Jedi fraud?????
It is unthinkable... ...y.y..yyyo.. yyour.....Ryia h!?!
lol
-
Bioware said the PvP will be done on missions that both sides can do with their own agenda. There is a trailer at their webside which gives an example of both sides trying to control some batteries for firing on ships.
-

or I will have a Sith on another server if I have to lol
Sounds like sombody is on the lightside and will be rping sombody on the verge of turning to the darkside to me....
Im currently with rift with RBW but im defintly trying this game. As of late im finding it hard to stay interested in a toon long enough to lvl him in rift.
-

I will be running a Sith outside the RBW maybe we can start a second group on the good side. :o
-
I'm sure we'll be flexible in that nature. Let's hope for some good updates these coming fridays.
