Star Wars: The Old Republic
-
Seeing as how discussion of the game has been clogging up Things I Hate (granted, mostly by me), and I can't find one with search, I figured there should be a thread to discuss this brave new entry into the WoW dominated thresher that is the MMORPG market.
This thread is about Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game may blow. I plan to play it anyways.
Anybody else planning to? -
As well as fighting for debt?

Man, if they actually let you make people kill themselves as a means to resolve conflict, I might just have to play as a Sith. Although, I'm curious how they would implement something like that in the game. Persuade by itself would only be useful against NPCs in the single player portion. I suppose they could make it situational, and it caused a stun effect or something similar in PvE / PvP. That way any skill points allocated to it wouldn't be essentially wasted.
I was planning to play a tanking bounty hunter, just for the flame throwers. -

Can I be a Sith ewok?
Man, are you crazy? They'd never let you play an ewok! Everyone knows that race is broken. +20 to traps in a wooded area? It's ridiculous. And you know the team mates of any ewok would just constantly have small trees equipped so the boost would always be in effect. -
I'm planning to be a smuggler because I like cowboy hats and laser guns. I'll roll with people on whatever empire alt I end up making though
-
I hear smugglers get a Wookie companion. Not just a regular Wookie, but a Wookie gladiator

Everybody getting loot is definitely a good thing. As far as I can tell, you can play a light side Sith, or a dark side Jedi. Supposedly it can alter the abilities you have access to and maybe your appearance, but I don't think it will let a Jedi throw around lightning, since that's supposed to be a Sith thing. -
I was thinking maybe it affected how you interacted with certain NPC or what armor/weapons you can use.

A look at the classes and the roles they fill. From what I see it looks like you get 3 out of 4 possible trees for your character, 1 general that all characters, 1 for your general class, and 1 for your advance class (such as Jedi guardians have one while Jedi sentinels have a different one). I kinda wish they instead of the general tree they gave all the advance classes a second tree, just to give them more diversity. If everyone is playing Sith I may role an assassin. -

We need to get on this fucking ASAP!
I assume this is the guild Getter started
http://www.swtor.com/guilds/58617/kung-fu-scientists/roster
We need no fewer then 10 people. Apply now, I don't believe you need to have pre-ordered the game. -
Yes it is.
-
I just accepted someone's application, I don't know who it was.
-
It was probably mine. I read over the rules and at lest 4 people in the guild have to have preregistered the game. the rest of you just need to create an account on the site and apply.
-
Applied to the guild, and got the game pre-ordered.
-

fanks bro
-
We're up to 4 people, this shit is trucking along.
-
Make that 6.
-
Looks like a pretty balanced guild so far. At least one of each class. Also, I felt that the message of the day was classy. It was something we could all relate to, in a truly personal way.
-
Except I just filled it out to help you guys get your early crap. I have 0 interest in ever playing.
-
I'm going to do as Ex suggested I do and try to whore myself to get more people.
-
We're up to 7.
-
So the deal is sign up for the guild and you get 20 minutes alone with Getter, no questions asked? I'm down with this.
-
I make no promises about biting.
-
They call it seven minutes in heaven.
But you're in the closet for twenty minutes. :( -
Lemme in.
-
We now have 8. Also, you need 20 minutes to get the full Getter experience. If you thought 7 minutes was heaven, prepare to be felt up by Jesus himself.
-
Fuck you Getter and your March 2010 join date beating my September 2010 join date.
-
Got to get on that shit early.

So are you the guys that bring a tent and a generator to wait in line for shit months in advance? 'Cause I gotta warn you, I hate those guys. -
Oh god no, I'm to busy with things like sleeping and napping.
-
And then, of course, there's your night job.
-
What's a job?
