The only thing that keeps me interested in this game is the thought of being a dick ass smuggler, I have zero interest in playing a jedi.

this is known

Remember what Han Said:

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side" ~ Han Solo

That being said, my main character will be someone believing in the "Hockey Religion" and wielding an "Ancient Weapon".....woe was me....=P

Dont think you have to worry about that. While there will be a healthy population of force users there will be a ton of bounty hunters, Smugglers etc.

Star Wars generally has a pretty healthy RP base so people play ther other classes

Trooper and Agents will be the least played.

You think so? I'd figure Sith Inquisitors will be fucking popular. Do you mean Agents? I dunno, I think Smuggler & Agent will be the least played, but they're the coolest classes in the game imo.

Derp. Totally meant Agents. Long day, heh.
 
A lot of my friends want to be smugglers/bounty hunters.

Though to be fair, this may be the first MMO I play where I actually roll alt's all the way to max just to see the various stories. I think you'll find a rather diverse group of classes just for the story.
 
Half the classes are force users in game and on each side (4 out of 8, 2 each side). Almost 50% of the guild being force users is not really that surprising.

Yeah, but the 50% is ONE class. If it was split between the two, it'd be okay.

To further it, add the other three classes together, and you get about the number of Jedi Knights we have.

Anyway, I know it's early and the sample size is small. But I do hope Bioware does something to build up hype for the other classes.

Look at it this way, by choosing to not play a jedi/sith class, chances are that no matter which class you choose to play, you'll probably be in very high demand for dungeons and raids.
 
I'd join the GAF guild but I would be willing to bet my life you guys will pick a PvE server, so we shall never meet. Unless they do cross-server battlegrounds... *shudder*

In terms of balance, we on the empire side are still heavy on the Sith Warrior class but every other class is even so good distribution overall. I think your gonna have the people that want to try out the jedi roles at first, but then they will become interested in what the other roles play like.

I originally wanted to be a smuggler until I found out about the Jedi Shadow class and the actual cannon behind them. I've been seriously intrigued by these mysterious characters ever since. And they play an unorthodox role which is something I used to play in EQ, so I'm pretty cool with it.

And I really don't think there'll be many shadows in the guild anyways, I mean most people who are going into the Consular class, specialize as a Consular Sage. :shrug

And also, I think most of us will have an alt toon at max, so it won't be that bad. I'll likely have a Jedi Knight, Smuggler and Tropper alts, I mean if only to play through there entire stories.

And if only a handful of people take the same approach, even like me and two others, thats 3 extra classes each, 9 in total, that we can diversify the guild with. :)

At this point I am completely torn between the Trooper and the Inquisitor.

The Trooper for the armor and blasters (love the audio).

The Inquisitor just for being a bad ass Sith with the double bladed saber. Don't they have some kind of melee dps option? If so I am all over that.

New picture showed up on their Facebook fanpage.

Vicious Killiks drove the workers from this Lanthanide mine on Alderaan, claiming the tunnels as part of their sprawling hive.

Sith Assassin is the melee dps Spec for Inquisitor and Sith Sorceror is the Ranged DPS/Healer

I was being facetious. That's how I manifested my disappointment in knowing that I'd be playing yet another MMO with ugly purple tentacle insect caves.
Thankfully those are just stalagtites and such :p

This is what I am probably going to spec as. Too bad they haven't updated the Inquisitor or Consular info yet.

The last Class to get its video etc so when that happens the info flow will be better

That hopefully end with a smoking crater left in their face from a blaster shot after you hunt them both down.

I'm going to laugh if they actually took away your ship and you were stuck there. But that would be terrible game design for an MMO.

That would be awesome. Have a Quest you have to go on to recover your ship.

Its pretty cool that we already have 22 members in the Republic Gaf guild.

Btw, is it cool if we're on both the Republic & Empire guild at launch? Just wondering??
Traitor. :p



I wouldn't be surprised if Jack Thompson was all over this. :p

I'm sure he'd bring up these points so that SWTOR is banned. XD

Thankfully he's disbarred as lawyer....
I forget he existed. Why would you do that?
