lol @ the "3" on his helmet.
As for the amount of force users? Get over it. People wanting to try a force user is not stopping you from being a Trooper or Smuggler. If even 1/4 of those Jedi Knights turn into tanks, that's a good thing.
That being said, I'll be sticking to my Jedi Knight/Trooper/Sith Inquisitor/Imperial Agent picks. =D

Hopefully there'll still be plenty of Bounty Hounters around to make a BH exclusive guild. With the addition of the Bodyguard skillset I can imagine a group of 4 BHs (1/2 mercenaries, 1 powertech and 1/2 bodyguards) doing fine in Flashpoints. They have a decent amount of CC both viable in PvE and PvP.

Heck yes.
Man the more that gets released, the more excited I get. I am also excited we have some good diversity going so far.
If you want hardcore raiding and not casual, no worries. I'll be assisting with end game content organization along with helping everyone else out.

True...I was thinking of it like a group of WOW hunters rollin around together....but I guess IA's don't have pets/companions to distract the target as you shoot it.
Is anyone else canceling their WOW subscription to pay for this? then if it sucks going back to WOW?

I deleted my paladin a few months ago. If this falls flat, I am done with MMOs for the foreseeable future once more.
This game got me so excited that I subscribed to WoW for the first time. It's fun, but it's really hard to get into a 6-year-old MMO because the entire community already knows everything and everyone is max level already. I'm really excited to play TOR at launch so I can actually enjoy the game with others instead of running around empty zones killing trash until I reach 80 and can play with other people.

I am cancelling my WoW sub for this. SWTOR would have to be essentially broken to get me to quit, and even then I wouldn't return to WoW. WoW has run its course in most players minds. Once this game + Guild Wars 2 + Diablo III get released the WoW server mergers will begin and 90% of the game will be a ghost town.

I have gone back to WoW so many times, but each time I last less and less longer with it. The game just does nothing for me. I loved it back in the day, but it just is old news to me, despite what they add to the game, it's just too much been there and done that. CAT did nothing for me. After so many years with it, I've had enough of it.
I've been jumping around to other MMOs and I have fun with them but stuff often goes wrong usually with the community that dies off.
EVE is probably my all time favorite MMO but never had enough time to really devote to it though I keep going back to it. Once my DCUO sub runs out I'm probably going back to EVE once again lol. I'm usually subbed to two MMO's at once so I will be sticking with RIFT and EVE, but RIFT I'm not sure it will hold me too long as it keeps feeling like WoW at times a bit too much.
I will surely be dumping one for SWTOR and probably will stick with it for some time unless the game is somehow all around terribad. A Star Wars MMO is so what I want, and Galaxies was such a huge dissapointment.

I used to play this almost every day for the first year following the release. I put in more than 100 days of playtime and accumulated a remarkable amount of epic items (being a scarce class as the druid was, really did good for your inner lootwhore). I still remember the first week (Easter) when the game was released in EU - the battle to get to level 60 first. And then there was the battle to kill Onyxia first, clear Molten Core and so. Oh God, I can't believe it has been more than 5 years since I've played WoW!Billychu said:
I'm ready to jump back into the MMO genre again with BioWare's announcement that SWTOR would be playable as a singleplayer game with heavy focus on the storyline. Obviously I'm gonna try the Flashpoints, PvP and raids but just not like my last days in WoW where the schedule was something like PvP in the afternoon, raids at night and collecting for AQ in the off hours...
They just announced that there will be 2 play sessions in London next week, so if anyone is interested they better hurry up (first come, first serve).
UK Community Event - April 5th - come and play!

I tried playing KOTOR2 (loved 1), but I just couldn't get interested or immersed. The graphics whore in me couldn't stand the eyesore after playing ME2.
I'm thinking about cancelling my WoW sub again, I'm guilded with some dudes from work but we work opposite shifts so I never see them on to raid. Dungeons are too hard to PUG given the caliber of the average WoW player, and without a community there just isn't anything to keep me interested.
Problem is, I'm not sure what to play instead. I've been spending heaps of time on Minecraft, even though I spend 99% of my time by myself at least people greet me and have conversations.
I'm looking forwards to the GAF guild, so far I've had a pretty good experience with GAFfers in games.
I don't buy that "ready for prime time" excuse. What we saw at PAX was fantastic with just a few minor bugs and now you're telling me that they wont even have Taral V at the event in London? So they are both removing content from the game and any chance of recording what is left (which should be less buggy given that they kept it in).

Rift was released in a VERY polished state, I am hopeful Bioware can at least match it in terms of quality at lanch. I'm currently playing that and LotrO to get my MMO fix until TOR releases.
DurielBlack said:
If you're sick of the community in WoW but still want something similar, LotrO might be something to look into. It's free to play now, and the community is leagues better than WoW (at least on Landroval, where I play).

I don't see them considering non MMO games as same type of competition. A holiday release seems most likely at this point if they are waiting possibly for E3 to announce anything.

Winter is when most of the casual gaming folks I know flirt with an MMO or two. If Bioware are smart they will release it no later than November.
On a different subject, I see how bad hacking got in WoW that they needed to come out with an authenticator that is damn near required these days. I had thought it was just an isolated case of WoW's insane popularity. But now I'm reading lots of accounts are being hacked in Rift to the point where some folks are quitting until a solution is in place. This is starting to look like a a standard nuisance for most MMO's going forward, I hope Bioware have authenticators or some similar solution in place. I would love it if they could include an authenticator with every purchase to get ahead of the issue.

But EA wants to spread out releases even if they aren't the same exact demographic because they want to grow the market, not just keep people that are going to buy the game anyway. ME and TOR will likely have a good crossover market. Plus they probably don't want to marketing blitz three huge titles at the same time.
Seriously, if you thought the We Aren't in Azeroth Anymore commericals were prevalent, just wait for the marketing that TOR is going to get. It's going to be everywhere. If I had to timeline guess, they'll announce beta is going to start a few weeks after E3 and release will be in late August/early September. They'd have a good window to themselves to at least get the play 30 days for free crowd.
Starting to get mega hyped for this. I apped to the GAF guild, my name is knoxay there. I'm leaning towards Jedi Sage at the moment, but I'm afraid it's going to be the dedicated healing class, I'm hoping for a dps/support/crowd control mix. I'm playing through KOTOR again (as a light side Consular!) and it's getting me pretty hyped.

Good. I was thinking I would be alone, haha.
Is there any way to change my class on the guild website thing? It's kind of annoying to know that the class distribution isn't accurate because I didn't know what class I wanted to play a few weeks ago. Smugglers are just too cool.
EDIT: WOW. Right after posting this I accidentally found the page where you can change this.

Was going to post but you got it haha.
Has WoW released a mobile app for that yet? Don't know why they're selling separate when sending me a text or email or just releasing an app to handle it.Outdoor Miner said:
Really? I always though for WoW it was the add-ons. Which is ironic since the game is near unplayable without them.antonz said:

It just seems like things are running a bit close here with releasing this game and it's going to need a big marketing push too with how much they are putting into it. I think September would be ideal but not announcing any release details till June seems like cutting it a bit too close hence me thinking it will probably be held back till the holiday season.
