What kind of updates do these studio insider updates hold?

Last two have been about environmental polish and animations. It will most likely be something art related again, because the community Q&A was about art.

The Empire has eyes everywhere secret surveillance stations show up in the most unlikely places.

It usually comes with a nice Q&A. That's what I'm expecting again :)

Anyways, David Bass gave us another clue:
Feeling really useful by helping out with the Friday update this week. Learning how the behind-the-scenes stuff works on the website.

Impressive decals on the character's clothing. Pass on this message to the art-team and say they've really nailed the aesthetics on standoing out the old public in the Star Wars universe, some of the best artwork I've seen in an MMO yet. I can't wait for the beta and indulge myself!

Once again, reaffirming Sith Assassin is the class for me.

Double bladed sabers, stylish apparel and a son of a bitch hopefully uttered every time I slice them from behind after coming out of stealth mode in a warzone.

[QUOTE=CzarTim]Does a lot to disprove the theory that this game is WoW + lightsabers, doesn't it?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, the outift(Robe & Headgear) looks like it came straight out of WoW.

Who the fuck cares? WoW + lightsabers + story/voice is EXACTLY what I want. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Just expand upon it and make it better.

Sith Assassin is looking so damn tempting due to familiarity... I've been playing a Rogue in WoW since launch (no alts, I'm weird). I'd like to branch out into something else though. Hmm...

So far we've seen a class video for every class expect a Jedi Consular.

BioWare has no fucking excuse now to not make me a class video for a Consular!

Can you believe thats the only video I've been waiting for since these stupid class video's showed up.

Been a long ass time now....

But we get the last laugh now, since we'll be the last class video to be revealed!

Hopefully during E3 just to show up the rest of the classes!

Can't wait to play the Consular Shadow, going to be my main for sure!!!

Lets see what we have left.

Imperial Agent & Smuggler gear progression.

SI Gear progression

Consular Class & Gear Progression.

Oh, and the fucking Lance Henriksen voiced holonet previews. They never got a conclusion.

I dont really know if our friends at Bioware approve of these pictures. If not let me know and I will be glad to take them down.

As we can see in the first row the first one is the armor we see in that screenshot for SI.

Is there ANY chance we'll get this on Mac anytime in the near future? (by near future I mean sometime within 6-8 months after the game is released for PC)

Timelines will be added after launch, so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. We have one Holonet entry left, 2 phases of the guild program, the remaining companions/crew skills, warzones, endgame raids (+surprise), open world PvP, flashpoints and mounts. A lot of this has FF potential.

All media from the FSS had to be approved by BioWare, incl. those armor artwork.

They mentioned something about Mac not at launch due to priorities, but were very vague about what could happen afterwards. Problem is, that they haven't talked about potential platforms for a very long time.

New companion for the SI and other stuff incl. the video:
AllisonBerryman said:
Inquisitors, the dark geniuses of the Empire, are masters of treachery and dark Force power. Feared as much on the battlefield as they are by prisoners and political enemies, they will stop at nothing to earn themselves more power. The paths to power are many, though. Is your Inquisitor an Assassin, striking down enemies from the shadows with cunning tactics and a skilled blade? Or are you a Sorcerer, a triumph of the dark side, smoldering with ambition and uncovering dark secrets of the Force to destroy your enemies?

Like the fantasy like influence. Makes it fit more in line with the original old republic universe that dark horse envisioned and less of the simplified star wars look bioware went with in kotor. Course they seem to be throwing in the star wars kitchen sink when it comes to designs of everything.

Glad to see an update for the class I want to play, though I must admit I am really looking forward to the 'Gear Progression' video for the Inquisitor! I always play a healer in MMOs so i'll definitely be going the Sorceror route.

If I'm understanding this right, Tython is huge. And aren't the starter planets supposed to be some of the smaller maps?

Another thing that's impressed me is the combat. It does look somewhat choreographed although a bit boring. I think Jedi Knight might not be for me going by this video.

That character screen though looks atrocious(at around the 11 min marker).

Yes starter worlds are tiny compared to the larger worlds.

Managed to find an archived video from that account. The video is an hour and a half long, from the screenshot posted earlier it looks like there may be another part. Haven't watched it all yet but it looks legit.

That's a nice quality video, too.

... except when he actually starts moving around. Goddamnit. Looks pretty much like WoW, not that I was really expecting anything else.

Skip ahead to 18:30 for the first story segment. I wonder how much dialog they're going to cheap out by just using recycled alien gibberish.
