How to Hunt Bounties in Star Wars: The Old Republic

I can never shake off the feeling that this game has no business being an MMO.. I really hope they do a vid on instanced raids

Honestly is anyone going to play this and make anything other than a jedi?

That looks cool.

Trying to not be too stoked for this game and failing. It's looking so good!

" Honestly is anyone going to play this and make anything other than a jedi? "

I don't know whether or not this game will be good, but it amazes me there are still people complaining about monthly MMORPG fees. How many of you complainers pay for Xbox live? There are many people paying for that service that just play CoD and are basically paying a monthly fee to access servers (does Microsoft even host any?) and have a friends list (and DLCs are almost never free, so you rarely get any free updates). At least with an MMORPG fee you are getting a persistent experience and free content updates.

These trailers are nice but I'd really like to see a substantial gameplay video released some time soon.

I understand that it isn't finished yet and I guess I'll just wait and see.

I wonder if bounty hunters have to be doing the whole Mandalorian thing. Kind of a bummer if so, especially since that means you probably won't have the option of being Mandalorian and playing in some other class.

IF I play it, it'll be anything BUT a Jedi.   "

Hmm, so the "Bounty Hunter" class is just a visual redesign of Boba Fett?  I hope there's more to it than that.  I also hope the class as a whole isn't prone to accidental deaths and burp jokes.  That would carry the Fett parallels a little too far, methinks.

Remember when Star Wars wasn't a steaming cup of bubbling shit?  Bioware don't.  This looks like an episode of Ninja Turtles.

Yep. WoW has 8 entire storylines for each class. Full dialog with 40 novels worth of speech. Companion characters with dialog, and story quests. Your own starship. Space Combat. A light/dark side meter. Choices that effect the way your character progresses. Multiple endings in instances. Giving the players the choice of who controls planets and areas. Giving the players the ability to effect the war effort. World an Galaxy wide story lines.   Yep, total WoW clone. "

Ok so it has a story... but will the gameplay be any good, I actually wish it was a wow clone with star wars, there's no point being mad when someone says that a game is a clone of one of the best mmos of all time. "

So much fierce hate for this game, you're all fuckin' mental.
 
This'll be the only MMO i get a lifetime sub for (if they ever offer one)

" 1.) Guild Wars 2 is in no way competition for SW:TOR.  It might be better, but it isn't going for the same level of profits as subscriber-based MMOs.  SW:TOR is interesting in competing against other subscription-based MMOs, not free ones. They are after the WoW money."

" @WinterSnowblind: They are doing stuff that is not in any other MMO. The story concept is not in any other MMO. Your whole playtime will be things that go on but based around your life and decisions made by you or your group stick in terms of that story. Its not even in Beta remember. Bioware's problem is that while they are showing the game off which is great, people also create lots of misconceptions about it from what is still basically an Alpha.  As with other posts, even if this game sucks in the end people need to remember - IT IS NOT FINISHED YET!  I always say here - Go look at Wow Alpha and Wow First Beta for example: I remember in beta when they put in better textures and better lighting, Jesus it made a difference. Humans looked dum as hell in alpha and first couple of weeks of beta.  The more I see of this game the more you noticed better particle effects, better lighting, better textures. I want to see more improvement of course. Sound also seems to have had a lot more work just from this video alone. "

nnnnNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

They're both MMO's, both attempting similar revolutions of the MMO genre and both likely releasing around the same time.  They are in direct competition with each other and the fact Guild Wars is free to play is just a massive point in its favour. 
 
Guild Wars is not competing with sketchy Korean MMO's that survive on microtransactions, it's competing with WoW, Rift, TOR and Final Fantasy XIV(?).  It just so happens that the developers are honest enough to tell us that they don't need a subscription to maintain the game. 

" How many of you bought any of the following:  Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 Dragon Age Dragon Age 2 (preorder) KOTOR KOTOR2 Baldur's Gate Jade Empire Never Winter Night's  Yeah I thought so. Haters gonna hate.  I'll see you in game. "

Hmm, that trailer did not inspire any confidence in me. The skill tree looked boring as hell, but then again i'm more interested in the narrative portion of the game..thats seems to be where Bioware are trying to innovate. 
And to be honest, star wars doesn't do much for me lore wise.

Cool outfit.
Bad run animations.

Looks cool but I am gonna play a Sith Inquisitor.

So its just a star wars mmo...

"But THIS will be the game that changes everything for the worse!  I just know it!"  -_-  Shame on including KOTOR2 on that list though.  Bioware barely even acknowledges that game's existence.  "

I would have preferred a single player experience, but since
they insisted on an MMO & $300 million investment, I guess
I'll play it for a couple-three months.

The more I see of this game the less excited I get.  =(

" definitely a game that is starting to look worse and worse as it gets closer to release... i really want to try this before i ever spend money on it.... :/ "

Best class in anything.
