Star Wars: The Old Republic

No beta

I got back into my account....Very odd. I tried logging in through I.E, Firefox and Chrome....none worked. Cleared my cookies in Firefox and got right in.

Don't watch this if you don't want to see "some" spoilers...

This is a 25 minute long video of the Sith Warrior starting area.

My Sith Inquisitor had the same starting area. There appear to be a total of four starting areas total, shared by two classes each. Two for Republic, two for Empire.

And I am also very interested in this type of loot scheme and the ease of drop-out/drop-in raiding. Being able to raid without allotting 3-4 hours at a stretch will be nice (for me at least).

Not so sure about those models. They've had how long to get this looking good? Geez

Ya, they could be better....they could be worse.

WoW never had great graphics and it is/was successful. I think as long as the content is good (which so far from what Z has posted it does look good), people will ignore the graphics.

The graphic options aren't completely implemented in-game yet, some options are grayed out in the options section. One I remember for sure was the AA option wasn't implemented yet, so some texture edges are a bit jaggy still. Overall the graphics are very good. Model and Texture quality are solid and the draw distance is pretty impressive. I mean it isn't Crysis 2 level stuff, but it is still pretty good.

More spoilers (if you don't want to see PvP that is). A 15 minute video of PvP watching a Trooper.

WoW was more artistic, never meant to look "real" if what Zeyla says is true, hopefully this won't look like Everquest... which it sorta does right now.

Cant say I think it looks like Everquest. Though I hope what Zeyla says is true, I cant say I am completely disappointed with it graphically at the moment.

New race?

So will we be setting up together in SWTOR or what? I mean, I think that was sort of the reason of the post on page one at least I think.

There is a guild setup thing on the SWTOR site. I searched on there and there are two guild going by Hoss, but I didn't recognize the names on either of them, so I'm not sure if they have any affiliation with us. Do we want to start one up? The SWTOR has some guild management stuff built in, recruitment applications, roster, forums, etc. It might be good to get it setup and get our roster going for those that are going to play (even if we don't use all the other tools).

I can get it setup if you guys want, I just need to know what we want our focus to be. I have some other gaming friends that are going to be playing on a PvE west coast server, Republic side. That sounds about perfect to me as I am leaning towards Republic. Although I will probably end up playing an Empire character on the same server eventually too.

For those that are going to play this game, do you have an idea of the server type and faction you want to play? I'd like to get as many of us together as we can.

P.S. - Andy - I would play a light saber wielding cat if I could

Rumors are that everyone that signed up for beta should be getting an invite this week or next week (for stress tests I am sure), so watch your email!!

I'd would say that someone set it up. You can always change the guilds faction and PvE/PvP status later when it is finally decided.

Remember that P2 of the guild creation will allow guilds to choose who they play with in other guilds too. So if you have friends that will have their own guild, you can request to join them on the same server.

Release date interview.....but no confirmed date yet.

I am leaning toward Empire, server type i have less pref. on. I usually prefer a pvp server but honestly it does not matter as much to me as the faction would.
