Love bounty hunters, sure hope there's more to combat than what they showed. I'm sure there is.

I wish they'd just make Knights of the Old Republic 3--you know, as in a single-player game with awesome narrative.

Looks great, I still wonder how bounty hunters/smugglers are going to fight against jedi/sith.

Fucks sake! Why does MMO combat have to be so mindless? And, as much as I want this game to be good, the fact that they're cutting up so much of the gameplay for this trailer is a BAD sign.

Man, the combat in this game looks extremely dull. "We want you to feel like the hero of your own personal Star Wars movie." I don't remember Han Solo running at stormtroopers, then standing in one spot right in the middle of the room and shooting enemies one by one, who likewise, are not making any attempt to dodge blaster fire...
 
I remain underwhelmed by the actual gameplay I have seen thus far.

@zanthox:
although just to say in everyone of them he only fought like two guys at a time which is barely a room full  (except for a very tiny room). and the monster thing (forgot its name) just stood there.

I will probably be playing a smuggler or bounty hunter. Not a jedi/sith.

I'm psyched for this game, but they might want to make the enemies a bit more active. An entire game of enemies just standing in one place and shooting you doesn't sound appealing. Hopefully in the regular play, they run for cover and stuff.

I'm not sure why mmos don't have real-time combat yet (bar a couple that do). It would be awesome if you had an aiming reticule and had third person shooter controls but still had all the mmo trappings. Borderlands is a good example of this. Someday maybe.

I am one of the 5 people who actually liked Star Wars: Galaxies so Im pretty excited for this. Although the gameplay looks a little dull, I still cannot deny anything Starwars...

Looks cool armour needs to look alot more badass, WoW has a cartoonish look but the higher tier armours look bad ass. Old republic needs to follow suit.

These two statements are both true, and are not unconnected.

This is exactly the thing that puts me off most MMOs. To go from Mass Effect 2's dynamic cover-based combat to The Old Republic - and yes I know it's different teams and styles of games - seems like a serious step backwards in Bioware games, even if it is on par with what other MMOs do. Even if there were a simple procedural dodge animation system that would give visual feedback for misses as opposed to hits, it would look a lot more dynamic even if the player is standing still. Perhaps it looks better if the player moves while attacking, but if the AI just stands there, and it's all dice-rolled, what's the point?

I want to like this game on the basis of Star Wars and Bioware, but I admit that I'm really not... inspired. As much as I like those two things, I don't really want a Star Wars version of WoW/EQ. 
 
I'm fine with it being an MMO. It just looks pretty dull.

Bioware made DRAGON AGE. And KOTOR. So, no, it's not a "step backwards". And there is a reason why action based MMOs aren't catching on.
