Well supposedly GW2 might be slipping to 2012 now and Tera is possibly going to 2012 now too. EA would probably be wise to get this out this year and take advantage of an exclusive mmo release window.

So I am downloading the leak right now. What does it include?
Small pre/re-view from the guy behind the videos: http://www.sithwarrior.com/forum/general-info/beta-tester-trantice-gives-his-review/
He liked it, but still jeopardized his beta spot by leaking both videos. Seems a bit odd.

Well, thanks to him I guess. Took one for the team. He'll play it with the rest of us
.Oh, and go to 57:20 of the 1st video everyone, shit is hilarious! Takes forever to choose (I would too), then the awesomeness, haha.
I was amazed that I actually watched the videos and was interested in them. I find it extremely hard to watch someone else play a game.
In this case I couldn't take my eyes off the game. I get a really good KOTOR vibe only in an MMO setting. Just because this game plays like wow shouldn't discourage anyone from trying it. Knowing Bioware, this game will have a soul deeply connected to the Star Wars Universe and not feel like a grindfest.

Trantice or whatever the guy's name is sent an email to Betacake:
"I am the person that recorded the videos about SWTOR, and I'd like to set the record straight about them. I was live streaming SWTOR on a protected stream for a live QA session. I thought it would be a great way to do a group QA on the current build of the game, but as you can see, it got way out of hand. This was over the past weekend.
What I didn't realize is how poorly the security is at Justin.tv. Anyone can go in and find an archive of a video, as is evident. Even though I deleted my own archives, word of mouth apparently made people search long and hard to find a back door. It was NOT my intention to leak these videos to anyone. I was of course banned for what occurred, which is sad because I really enjoyed the game a lot. I spoke extensively with David Bass and Eric Campbell @ Bioware, but the rules are the rules. They understood what occurred, but the terms of the NDA were pretty clear. Oh well!
What I'd like to also say, is that while I was live streaming, we were discussing choices, bugs, maps, QA items, all during the stream. This is why you see periods of inactivity or just basic crap game play. I can assure you I am seasoned MMO vet, but again, I was live streaming and discussing the game at the same time. We talked about which choices to take, bugs we may have seen that I may have missed, and all kinds of design elements. I thought it was really something special to help the game out. This is also the reason you see completely un-edited footage that may be painful to watch.
I guess now that these videos are out, I can hope for two things. One, that the buzz for the game increases and people will look forward to it even more. Second, that the enormous amount of feedback that the footage has garnered will help Bioware to tweak the game and hopefully make it more successful. "
Shit is serious business. That phone call with Bioware must have been very interesting.

You're probably going to have to torrent it. Bioware got serious
finally

I actually liked the leaks. Any gameplay of TOR has been standard MMO stuff but this was the starting points of several classes. Those are the videos that got me so hyped about WoW originally. I think it looks good. I skipped through it but it was nice to see lots of talking, lots of dialog. Although a romance scene like 50 minutes into one of them, especially for a Jedi seemed pretty fast. I didn't see the context of it though.

You say damage, but this was needed. People are actually fucking happy to see so much of the game, even with bugs, and unfinished bits.
I'd say the leaks were a major boon to Bioware.
yeah its pretty clear the type of people he is complaining about are the idiots who dont care about the game so much as they do playing it now instead of later.
Still say they should do a gaf group for testing Problem with testing offsite is the difficulty in ensuring proper age groups etc. Hell Nintendo made me sign multiple forms and send them in etc just to certify my age for a contest.

With all the leaked information flooding around in this thread, I seriously doubt it. Wasn't there a BioWare employee replying to this thread earlier?antonz said:yeah its pretty clear the type of people he is complaining about are the idiots who dont care about the game so much as they do playing it now instead of later.

Not really comment on those Q&A and videos but do take much of that info with a grain of salt as that info was indeed from an old build, but E3 is right around the corner
.Definitely recommend checking out the Dev Tracker on the forums for in depth info as well.

Thanks for responding and not quietly disappearing into the night. We appreciate any developer who posts. Will you be able to talk more about the game after E3?
Seconded. I get the vibe that not many people know about the dev tracker when it really is a goldmine.Speculator said:Nah I'm still here being a gaffer, just dwelling other threads lol.

Yup definitely. I of course can't divulge any features that haven't been formally announced (NDA and all) but I can definitely help clarify anything and such.

Jesus christ the person asking those questions is really concerned about how the fuck cloaks work.

Be cool to see the ruins of Taris. Was glad to see it get demolished in KOTOR

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I have been keeping away from any recent news of this game because I just want it to come out but I just saw the immersion day previews.
Note: this isn't new stuff, I just randomly stumbled upon it because I was purposely staying in the dark on this game.
I'm not sure if this has already been talked (it probably has been) about but the stuff that MMORPG.com is reporting sounds awesome, particularly the PVP (and I'm not a traditional PVP player).

I've only read this article so far:

I can't wait for this game.

Finally finished up KOTOR II. Not quite as good as the first game but some aspects of the universe are alot more interesting here than in the original.
Malak was pretty much an evil laugh loving mustache twirling idiot, I actually found the Sith in this game to be pretty damn creepy.

I was planning on playing a lightside inquisitor anyway so I guess I'll still get to dick around with a green saber, thankfully.
I don't know if I like a restriction on colors at all though. Jedi use a wide spectrum and we rarely see sith dabble outside of red. Occasionally we get a badass renegade dark jedi like Exar Kun with a blue one and Freedo Nadd with an orange short saber but it really seems like Darkside players would be getting the short end of the stick.

Sith are supposed to use red and the characters you describe were not actual Sith. Biowares own fluff stuff from their site claim that Exar Kun wasn't even a Sith with all his power as he never truly followed their teachings, but it was him who helped bring back the Sith in the end. The character classes in the game are meant to be actual Sith story wise.
