I'm still deciding between a Smuggler and Trooper. I don't even want to think about what I'm doing on the Empire side. Their force users don't appeal to me at all, but then I'm just deciding between the same 2 archetypes again. I suck at deciding things.

I broke down and signed up for the Republic, gonna have to rock the Trooper to start out.

I hope they take a page out of Rifts book and have a mostly clean launch.

You can still play as an imperial, no one's going to think any less of you. Now wipe those tears and smile.

Jedi Knight progression

 

[Einbroch]

How are they handling lightsabers in this game from a progression standpoint? Upgrading the "crystals"? Getting all new sabers?

I don't know how it works in the Star Wars universe.

 

[JayDubya]

I definitely favor the Defensive Fighter / Tank role in various games... I'm just not sure whether here that's the Knight=>Guardian, the Trooper=>Vanguard, or both.

Of course I'm kind of expecting there to be a vast number of Jedi and Sith players, so maybe Vanguard would be the best way to go for that reason alone...

Kotor just used crystals to change saber stats. Assume they will just do the same for the Jedi weapon slots.

I think initially, yea, shit-ton of Sith & Jedi, but i'm hoping as the game matures, more people flow to the other classes for balance.

It is following the KOTOR/Galaxies system of changing color crystals and power crystals/pearls.

Few screenshots leaked showing the system

Half the classes are Jedi/with, it's always going to be force user heavy. That is also 8 different builds for force users so they should keep the class roles pretty well defined and not have lack of player roles.

Imperial Agent all the way...after that I might roll an Inquisitor lol.

Trooper and bounty hunter starts for me.

 

[Derwind]

*sigh*

It feels like I'll never ever hear anything about the Jedi Shadow....

I mean most characters and classes have already been shown but nothing on the Jedi Consular. =_=

Sorry but this Friday Update did nothing for me because I'm not going to be playing a Jedi Knight.

Trooper and bounty hunter starts for me.

Jedi Shadow and Imp Agent Operative(but not on the same server hopefully) for me.

Hmm notice that "light saber throw" around 1:55 in the new video. It appears to be a force ability rather than an actual saber throw. When it leaves his hand the jedi is still holding two light sabers.

That's some crazy force hadoken, my man. Ya, not a saber throw.

 

[Yasae]

Filed for the Republic guild. If you guys have any food stamp programs, that would also help.

Don't try applying on Google Chrome. You have to use the force to see the submit button.

The time you posted looks like a slightly different skill. In this clip the Guardian throws his single saber and is holding nothing until it returns. Either the Sentinel has a different ability, or the animation isn't finished yet.

I think the saber throw is a generic Jedi Knight ability, not sure though. But that sonic boom, or whatever, has to be a sentinel only deal.

edit: and that laser bolt block, then throwing the saber, just looks so badass! Someone should ani-gif that .

I don't play tanks in MMOs, but fuck it. Sign me up. Jedi Guardian in GAF guild. One sword purity for the win.

I saw that one and thought to myself that they were similar (same colour and what not).

Over at Darthhater their breakdown of the Taral V video suggests that it might be this ability:

*ahem* you don't have to tank as a guardian. There's a damage tree you can take instead.

 

[Rekubot]

I've signed up for the Republic GAF guild. I plan on playing a trooper, not sure which advanced class though.

*thinks*

Nah, tanking it is. I want to be a wanted class for once. =(

 

[Dresden]

I usually prefer 'evil' sides in MMOs, but the Sith always give me the creeps.

Will sign up as a smuggler in the Republic guild.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I definitely want to be a tank. Is there a Sith tank equivalent to the Jedi Guardian?

Sith Warriors can play a tank role I believe if they become Juggernauts.

Any ideas on the level cap at launch?

May roll a trooper first. Jennifer Hale is such a good VA I feel I will be missing out.

Level 50

Level 50

Level 50? Pfft. Even Guild Wars 2's cap is 80. Hype destroyed!

Spoiler

Anything more than 50 feels like too much to me. I'm happy with this.

Well its bound to increase from lvl 50 after a few expansions. Its like how every MMO seems to work.

To be honest, I love how Maple Story has like 4 class lvl-ups and you could be someone at lvl 140....

If anyone's ever played that game...

EQ originally was released going to lvl 50 or 60 and after a while the cap increased to lvl 70.

Same goes for WoW....

So its alost expected for the cap to be raised after a while. :shrug:

 

[Dr. Chaos]

Definitely coming out of character creation with a bounty hunter.

Pretty much every previous star wars game I can remember playing primarily focused on bashing people in the face with a light sabre and force attacks so playing a sleazy mercenary with a gun should be a fun change of pace.

Will probably start a sith warrior not long after when my melee addiction starts kicking up though (and it will).

 

[Qwomo]

I was originally going to roll Bounty Hunter until I realized it wasn't a "bounty hunter" class at all, but rather a Boba Fett class instead.

Which is extremely unfortunate.

You shouldn't be surprised. This is a video game. Samus Aran and Captain Falcon aren't exactly bounty hunters either (at least the one thing Other M did right was make fun of this).

 

[Lebron]

I'm rolling whichever class lets me heal, buff(debuff?), and do some damage. Basically, their version of a Chanter.

 

[Emitan]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaag and double post

 

[Yasae]

I've signed up for the Republic GAF guild. I plan on playing a trooper, not sure which advanced class though.

I also signed up as a trooper. You rebel scum will need our balance.

Shut your whore mouth.



Also, why does every GAF MMO guild have be PvE or on a PvE server? Seriously cuts into my interest in playing with the GAF guild, it's annoying.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Yeah pretty dumb. PvP all the way.

It's been nothing but really small tests. No real private betas or anything yet.

We have been talking about this on the guild forums. Basically we've decided that since you will very likely be able to flag yourself for PVP anyway, PVE is the best of both worlds.
