SWTOR Beta

Same as Cataclysm thread, gief me pics and leaks and all the good stuff!

Anyways from what few pics I saw inventory is very WoWish, UI is allright. Graphics (hopefully just beta) could be better.

Character Customisation is pretty good.
Races, Classes, Body Types, Backgrounds and then the advanced slider shits.

No beta key :[ This is actually something I'd care to go Beta in, unlike Cata or SCII, too!

No key for me too, didn't actually even notice the beta had begun until now :>

Just saw the first leaks but I'll try to find them from somewhere where I can link them from.

Though next 2 weeks without internet...

I thought it was just North America for now?

Just to avoid further questioning; what does SWTOR stand for?

Star Wars: The Old Republic

I still get annoyed that the 'tanks' wear big thick plates. Jedi wore robes. They are not paladins. They are Jedi, why are they wearing flipping plate?

Honestly i don't think its a beta, it's just ... game testing. that they are giveing the players just a pice of the game and says ''Hey, heres the starting zones for some classes, go nuts'' seeing that at E3 they said that they were't ready to show the Jedi. and they have yet to announce more then three(?) races.

But hey. ive been known to be wrong.

and about the jedi wearing armour. why not? If the trooper wears armour why should't the jedi? They can't deflect all the shots fired at them. I like the looks of armour and robes

Would be nice to see some leaks compared to what Bioware's released, but I guess the beta would be under at least as hefty an NDA as always. Don't care if I get in early or not though, the Bloodline Champions beta will amuse me for quite a while.

Because they never did, dagnabit. The idea is that they're mobile as all flip. So that they can flip and all that jazz.

Pffh beta or gametesting it's all the same! Still calls for juicy information!

I think it's still in alpha testing, more so than beta.

as I thought, i'll roll jedi. Hands down.

Already got an idea in mind for him XD

Sith Inquisitor all the way here' baby! Can only imagine all the wicked, and potentially cruel - evul RPG plots and decision to maek!

Likewise a Bounty Huntah to blast flash-light wielding wannabies!

I still want to roll a marine. I can't play a monk jedi who can't get drunk or get a woman. =(

Jedi = Death Knights.

People will roll them to be teh uber l337 but still go around, getting drunk, flirting and shagging everything with tits.

Anyhow, Sith Agent.

I agree with you, Gunnell. I have a sense that we will see LOTS of jedi who will be doing drama, hesitating between the dark and light side, and all that. Not to mention relationships. So eh, if I ever roll jedi, it can barely be my main. Probably will be as hard as roleplaying a devout draenei. You can't do that or that, you must avoid violence at all cost. Hell, my Kassandros -acts- like a jedi already.

Alas, hence why I'll pick meself a nifty Bounty Hunter and blow all these bandwagon jumping Flash-light wielders to bitz! D:

Robes are incredibly impractical in a combat scenario. Clone Wars-era Jedi sometimes wear armour as well. It's just common sense.

Spoiler:

Juh, Jedi be simply Monks with some nifty magical abilities and better reflexes.

But they're as squishy and vulnerable as anyone else. D:

I'm not sure if Darth Vader would agree.

Darth Vader, the guy who, as a Jedi, lost ALL FOUR of his limbs, got his face slashed, and was then set on fire? I think he would agree that Jedi are quite squishy indeed.

That same Darth Vader who raided the wookie planet and fore-choked them 5 at a time, deflected their lazers and tore down whole bridges with the force, as a whole army of those ape-men couldn't stand against him?! Even though they had guns!
