I realize this is still pre-Alpha/Alpha, but god I hope this isn't the caliber of missions we are gonna get.

Also, the fire looks awful but the voice acting seemed alright. Amazing for an MMO. I'll give this a try at the very least.

I love how the +XP HUD pop-ups are exactly mirroring the +XP HUD pop-ups in the original KOTOR games.
 
I really hope Bioware delivers their brand of dialog trees. A really involving storyline would be something worthwhile.
 
Much anticipated.

Looks like a pretty solid MMO. Not really changing the battlefield but that's not so bad.

I don't get why people are complaining about clicking on stuff as the combat when that was basically the combat in KoTOR. This game looks awesome, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Anyone else find it odd that they're referring to it as 'multiplayer' inside a MMO game?

So...this is a Guild Wars type mmo...Yuck. Why must we now pay for something we used to get for free? :o this is not a bloody mmo! its thats like calling PSO a mmo. If you can see a bunch of people in a "city" (lobby) but you can only fight with a few of them on the maps...uggg. Please tell me this is not how its going to be. 
I dont want to pay 15 bucks a month for that.. "(

Looks better than I expected. I'll wait to see how the combat feels before I'm going to decide. Hoping the combat doesn't feel like MMOs such as Warhammer online; combat in that game was the downfall of my support for it, just felt too clunky.

How many people who play a Star Wars game, given the option of Jedi or Dude with gun, will pick Dude with gun?

gw1 did this type of instanced mmo type gameplay with one huge difference: it was free. guess what? guild wars 2 is gonna do it for free AGAin, but this time, no dedicated healing class, open-world MMO, ALL for free. idk what bioware were thinking going with jedi/sith healing classes? that's worse than jar jar binks.

That looked really bad, the combat looked completely boring, the casting seemed fairly unresponsive and the UI is atrocious; at least the animations were decent ...

Rofl thats exactly what I was thinking watching this video, I think he used heal 4 times the entire fight. Should have showed us some tanking and or jedi movies.

You think it would be hard to get the enemy to focus on some trooper when there are Jedi in the room.

Tank, healer, dps, offtank. No thanks, I've played enough WoW to go through this generic mmo shit again. Show me some platforming, some cover based shooting, some unique objectives, pvp, anything but this. I love KOTOR to death but I'm not interested in this.

Wow really? That's quite... unimpressive. WoW with lightsabers. Very original.

Also, 'multiplayer' demo? What, is there a singleplayer in this?

Sweet.  Hope the system requirements aren't too demanding.  Sure beats the crap out of WoW.

This looks like a WoW without the proper finish to class skills/balance and their roles...
I'll wait for WH40K and hope that offers some sweet salvation.

Looks like even the power of the Bioware magic can't:
 
i) Make Star Wars seem cool
 
ii) Make a great MMO that doesn't give me that same sickening feeling that I get when I think of WoW - other former WoWers, you know what I mean. As soon as I saw that UI, the health bars, the spell icons, the crappy graphics.... ugghh...
 
I'm sure it'll be good, and I'll play with my friends for a while at least, but I guess I was naively hoping for some genre-changing innovations that make it, well, less like WoW. Maybe they shall surprise me yet.
 
Also I better be able to do some fucking HERBALISM BABY,  even if I have to pick them from the SHIP'S HULL! MMO - herbalism = ¬MMO

Combat has yet to impress me unfortunately :/  I was really hoping this would be something I would want to play (although it very well could be still with the great story stuff BioWare does)

Same, smuggler is way more better than playing a boring Jedi. Han solo was the best character in the movies and being able to take cover sounds fun.

If you want Mass Effect with lightsabers, play one of the first two games.  KOTOR 1 is my favorite game ever.
