Star Wars: The Old Republic

[Wilfmeister]

Finally
Play Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and forge your own Star Wars™ saga in a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

Choose to be a Jedi, a Sith, or from a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, and make decisions which define your personal story and determine your path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way you will befriend courageous companions who will fight at your side or possibly betray you based on your actions. Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.

Sounds Awesome.

Old news, been waiting ages :D

[Xelos]

The question is, can you macro in it?

[Senty]

Wrong forum :P
http://www.swtor.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=8

I hate the whole personal story idea, making everyone a uniquely special snowflake. There was a feeling of anonymity in SWG, making you another cog in the wheel, which was surprisingly immersive.

[Cohort]

better suited in the OT forum. Other than that I disagree it does not sound awesome.

[Badem]

dunno

StarWars I want to command a B Wing and zap the shit outta people

or spend my time in a cantina Fapping to exotic aliens or tring to kill people with a Spork

[Caalador]

I would have prefered an up to date Star Wars MMO, not thousands of years ago but im still gona play, I really like the idea of training to be a Jedi, game should be great

[Wilfmeister]

Yeah srry i no its really off topic but i kinda wanna see what people who play darkfall think of it. And if they think it will be better or worse then Df

We need a SW MMORPG with FPS combat, open PvP and Full Loot.

[-Havoc-]

I wonder if the game will deviate from the traditional MMO mold. Thoughts?

[I Eat Children]

Since the devs have directly stated they like WOW and plan to copy some of their game mechanics. No I will not be playing it, even though I've been a Starwars fanboy since 4.

BTW PRECU SWG> ANYTHING!

I wonder if a new one will ever come out.

[88Chaz88]

I wonder if a new one will ever come out.

I hope so, I used to love the multiplayer, especially with force powers. Everyone always went for lightning or choke, I'd just use absorb and heal, wouldv'e loved to seen the look on their faces when my health doesn't deplete while they've used all their force power on trying to fry me like a sheep tied to an electricity pylon.

Wow is the most successfull mmo of all time, DF is the most unsuccessful, This makes me want to play it

[The Lost One]

I have some hope since it's bioware, then I remember the shadow of EA who now loom over them like some obese, game-developer abusing paedophile.

[Aragoni]

I think it will be awesome for your average MMO-player (Bioware knows their shit when it comes to story-telling) but for me, who's after a sandbox-game, just go "Meh" and continues the search for an epic sandbox.

[Tibernicus]

This game is going to suck in a major way that no scale can predict.


This is a single play game, heavy instances, you can go through 95% of the content solo, with your NPC party (straight from the devs) and it has asian item shops.

Fail game is FAIL.

Bioware is good at SINGLE PLAYER games. They're making this a SINGLE PLAYER GAME and charging a monthly fee. Class based, item shop, mostly solo game, wtf?

care to cite any of that?

it has asian item shops.


Have you ever played a game with an item shop our are you just parroting what others say?

[killino]

I have been waiting for this game forever and I then see what is possible the greatest trailor EVER!!! SO I hop over to the homepage with a big grin and gleam in my eye... i am frantically trying to see what the game is going to be like and my bubble burst!!! NO smile and the gleam turned to red HOTTT fire!!! PLAYER classes!!!! which =s a WOW want to be. I almost kicked my PC in but I think work would frawn on this.

Did Lucas Arts NOT learn anything from SWG? I will most likely not be playing EVEN though I want to.

[Tibernicus]

Have you ever played a game with an item shop our are you just parroting what others say?

Let's see, the people with more money to burn get to buy all the best items while they are either, unavailable to me entirely, or I have to spend hours and hours and hours and hours getting them. Yup sounds like a fantastic way to bleed more money out of people who are already paying a monthly subscription for a single player turn based RPG.

The only game item shops haven't totally destroyed is Vanguard, because all the players refuse to use it.

[killino]

WOW Vangaurd is still alive. I played it for about 3 months when it released. I thought for sure it would be dead by now.

[Vessol]

TOR will be a piece of shit. It'll be so linear with no options what-so-ever. Item shops. No crafting. NPC parties. Fucking fail.

It'll be worse then WoW.

[Sharuk]

Id rather have a Open PvP LOTR game done right, or LOTRO with an expanded MP system, and no Level Grinding, im ok with levels, but the Grind lotro has at levels 20-late 30's and upper 50s can be just inbearable..ugh

This sums up this game. Levels, class system, no full PvP and no looting. It'll be like SWG after the NGE but with cartoony WoW graphics. The cinematics are awesome, but then again so are WoW's.

Disgraceful, imo if you want to make a good SW MMO just make it in the fucking clone wars era and make it a SWG+Planetside combination, a skill system n shit. Pick CIS or Republic, make jedi/dark jedi a playable semi-class (certain jedi skills would require you to give up your 'mundane' skills) but make them balanced towards other classes.

Seriously though, the clone wars provides all the flexibility you'd need in the lore as far as playable jedi/dark jedi (Dooku trained a bunch of dark acolytes from fallen jedi) go and makes for interesting PvP. Nobody who likes starwars just wants to go raid a cave of rancors, good PvP is required for a good starwars game.

lucasarts is fucking stupid imo, look at SWG, when did that game start going downhill? The CU, which made the game like WoW. The NGE, which made the game even more like WoW made the game's population decline even more. So what do they do with this new cutting edge SW MMO? LET'S MAKE IT EXACTLY LIKE WOW!

Ya, it is Star WARS, after all. It's largely about war and conflict. To expand on your concept, I would add combat elements from Jedi Outcast. Jedi-Outcast style combat with a skill system designed for PVP, crafting, space travel, and planets/territories to build on and fight over like Shadowbane but in the Star Wars theme. That would be like the ultimate Star Wars game/ MMO right there.

That's what I'm hoping this MMO will be. I loved KOTOR 1, and if I could pay $15 a month to get storylines that interesting and characters that continually develop, I'd do it.

TOR isn't really an MMO, rather it's just a single player game with a monthly fee in exchange for continual content. Obviously it depends on how good that content actually is, but I'm hoping for the best.

SWG? You're joking right? Looney bin is... ---> that way.
A game with so many horrible fundamental flaws and bugs and poor game design cannot be considered the best MMO ever. They did do a lot of nice things though.

[KARABESK]

SWTOR seems to fail my expectations (currently) again AWESOME graps SUPERB storyline but RETARDED CLASS SYSTEM! ....
if there is class system, rather then skill system you have to play as the gamer designed how he want you to play ...
prolly you will chose talent tree like in wow and play with it ....
what if i am a weirdo jedi who uses gun ? who dont likes saber at all ?
and is all galaxy made of fighter classes ? werent there any crafters ?
couldnt be there bounty hunters who are able to use force ?
the CLASS based games does not lets you how you want to play which is crap and designed for idiots .
But to be onest, to be succesfull (in moneywise and numberwise ) you need to design your game for idiots becouse the number of idiots in world is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR bigger than smart guyz . :>
truths hurts allways.

[Minotaur]

TOR will be a piece of shit. It'll be so linear with no options what-so-ever. Item shops. No crafting. NPC parties. Fucking fail.

It'll be worse then WoW.

They just recently confirmed crafting would be in the game, along with an economy. No information of course on what will be craftable, will it be useful, and all that jazz.

NPC Parties isn't entirely true either. Players will have a companion, which will only be one NPC, and they'll only ever have one active at a time. I guess two could still be considered a party though. :p

I've seen no confirmation of Item Shops, nor would I really believe it unless a Developer had actually said it.

Really no clue on how leveling will be other than they have a unique story for each class, with consequences, dialog choices and shit like Mass Effect, multiple people able to participate in the dialog, etc. Definitely themepark, but doesn't sound as linear as other themepark MMO's are honestly.

But yeah, could still be worse than WoW. I'm just a spectator not a speculator though.

[Minotaur]

whoever necro'd this, good job. I reserve some trepidation when it comes to any MMO these days, but SW sounds fun at least.

Was only minor necromancy, but after seeing the Trailer at E3 I actually checked it out. It's not my ideal MMO, but at least it's sci-fi over fantasy.

I enjoyed Baldur's Gate, it was probably the last (well, only) RPG I ever really played. The only single player games I remember playing before MMO's were BG and Diablo, then I moved on to Planetside, SWG, and the likes.

I have no clue how the story will work out in TOR, honestly it doesn't really matter to me. If the game has some good PvP, and an end-game that I can enjoy with my RL friends and some old guildies from SWG then we'll definately be playing it. Hell, we all gave Tabula Rasa a shot, which lasted maybe 2 weeks. So I'm pretty sure we'll all give TOR one.


And yeah, DF is pretty much failure.

Honestly, worse than TR was to me. Sometimes I'll still pass by OT though out of habit, just to see if there is anything interesting. TOR looked interesting, /shrug.

Leia should have been raped by jabba and the movie should have depicted it very graphically and hardcore. Can you imagine it? Star Wars would be a truly memorable movie, for no one could ever possibly forget it for centuries to come. The cries of terror would still be heard today.

[Minotaur]

Uhuh... but it also has instances, NPC parties, item shops, linear gameplay, and is 95% single player (said so by the devs themselves). Sure sounds like a great MMO to me. Might as well play Guild Wars or KotoR1 and 2 or something.

Where the hell is this NPC party shit coming from? Because every character can/will have one companion with them? One NPC? Never able to have more than one active at any time, so I guess there could be swapping in and out...fuck if I know.

And Item Shops are not likely. Sure someone on the BW team mentioned something about them long ago but it was quickly denied and retracted by BW.

At least criticize it correctly. Sure, it'll more than likely be themepark with the whole "Story" leveling. But who knows yet what the PvP will be like, or end-game, fuck they haven't released shit on any of this yet. Or even if they'll have vehicles or starships for space combat. I could care less about leveling up, but if it has the end-game and is fun to fuck around on, PvP, etc. it'll fucking beat every other MMO out there atm. Sure as hell Darkfall.


*edit* Newest interview after E3 I just read they said it would be a Monthly Fee...
