Fantastic show. For the love of all that is good in this world that Bioware gives game breaker beta keys to give away for making such a good show for their game.

Has nobody played knights of the old republic 2??

Nar shaddaa was in the game they even used that same music for the game and the planet looks exactly the same as it is in the game!!!

Story choices affecting light & dark abilities!!! Come on. It’s such a terrible idea. If you want ability X and you need to be dark to get it, you’re not making the story choices you WANT anymore. All you’re doing is grinding darkside points and automatically choosing the dark option in every cutscene. Unless it’s not permanent, in which case it’s pointless anyway. Story should NOT effect abilities. Tons of people on the official forums are in favour of it though.

Jay, the story will be great, that’s a given. Questing will be greatly improved & I’m sure bosses having backstory & sweet dialogue will improve the atmosphere of instances but… GAMEPLAY wise, all we’ve SEEN so far is WoW. Now maybe, they’ve got some interesting mechanics that they’ve not shown us yet but I don’t want to get my hopes up. I don’t want to be burned again. The game has potential to really innovate but I’ll be perfectly happy if TOR is a solid, polished MMO with all the basics from WoW because frankly, WoW is what I consider the “standard MMO”.

It’s 100% a casual MMO, I don’t think we’ll see any kind of hardcore systems like death penalties(you simply spawn at a med center right now according to people who had hands-on at E3) or maintaining your companions extensively. They’ll only leave if you purposefully piss them off or tell them to go because the majority of players wouldn’t like it if they’re favourite heal bot just went off one day.

On the Corellia screenshot, I guessed wrongly that you would be looking at ALL planets this week as well as Nar Shaddaa. So I sent you that because it pretty much confirms an as of now unannounced planet. If you count it, we’ve got 15 planets right now.

Will either of you be at PAX? Apparantly that’s going to be a big conference for TOR.

RUN TO THE CHOPPA!

Oh btw, does anyone else feel like TOR might be the “westernized FFXIV”?

Obvious differences are there BUT, obviously, both games will be heavily based on story, lots of cut-scenes, stuff like that?

Great show guys! Not sure if you guys have seen this footage yet of the Trooper class but here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfj4r8m0st8&feature=related
Clearly a bootleg recording but still interesting. Mt first impressions were Gears of War type gameplay. What do you guys think?

@Charles

It’s standard, tab-targeting hotbar based combat. There’s no aiming your gun or a melee attack. It’s all abilities on your hotbar. Press 1 to shoot a burst of fire then press 1 a few seconds later for another.

Loved your yellow submarine background!
