New Star Wars MMO - The Old Republic
« on: 28-07-2010, 04:45 PM »
A new Star Wars MMO is coming out next summer. I can see where the developers are going, taking advantage of the fact that there aren't any surviving Star Wars MMO's.
Star Wars galaxies dominated the market until it's combat update, then 4/5 of the player base left. It wasn't some 'They changed it now it sucks' kind of dispute, it was a 'They changed what the entire game revolves around and made it completely fucking unplayable' dispute.

The cinematic trailers for The Old Republic are fucking mind blowing, if only 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' was like that, instead of the childish nonsense which it turned out to be.

Hint: Watch full screen and in 1080p.

There isn't really much revealed about this game because of it being in very early developed stages, but it looks promising from what other footage is available on You tube.
I'm certainly keeping an eye on this game, and I'm looking forward to its release.

I'm super dissapointed with the clases and skills they'e shown so far.

"Hey guys, if you want to have to rogue you NEED to be Sith"

Classes look way too cookie cutter, having Jedi/Sith as 1/3 of the avaiible classes in the entire game = stupid, the Rogue has jack shit on the Assassin and both have different play styles forcing you to pik a faction.

Combat so far looks meh, but what's combat without balance and a good tree/good trees of skills.

Don't get me wrong, i've been psyched about this for years but now i'm pretty dissapoint with all they've shown, though I can only hope they proove me wrong upon release.

Also, this isn't really news, this should just be in the VG thread. THis isn't announcing beta opens or release dates so it shouldn't be in this section.

Release more classes? Maybe _prestiege classes_ but sith/Jedi should be a prestiege in the first place.

My point is that it'll be all lolJedi's and LolBountyHunters just like what happend to SWG.

Point being, there's not a whole lot of inbetween classes like there was in KOTOR, look at Bao-Dur for example. Also, the idea of every PC being unique makes me rage in most games but I do suppose this is multiple galaxies in relative terms, so ti isn't all that bad I guess It's still annoying though.

I already read a Articel about the Game in a Gaming Magazine and Iam also really dissappointed, like lucid said with the classes, not enough classes and they're bound to ether Rebels or Imperium, They should have made it a bit more like SWG

Watch some of the developer videos, how much research and effort they're putting into the game.
I'm impressed, I'm a huge Star Wars fan and ever since SWG died there hasn't been anything good to fill its place.

Well technically it would be a fourth 'stem.'

It's quite obvious when the V doesn't have a second 'stem' and there's a big gap where a 'stem' would be.
