Anybody else in here looking to try SW TOR when it hits?

after a night of guild chat I can only say, gief now!

well Im not geting it till payday!

All the races basicly looks identical, I wished they'd have more choices than that. Seems like they were pretty lazy with it honestly. People might praise them for the customization etc, but in reality it's just the same base characters with different cosmetics. Everyone will end up looking exactly the same, even more so than in WoW, but with different heights and fat. Atleast WoW has entirely different species.

I mean, there's a clear difference between a human and a Tauren, or even a human and a Night Elf, while in this, the only way you'll see that it's a different race is by looking at their cosmetics and possibly skin color or if they have tails instead of hair.

Don't get me wrong, lots of options is good, but the lack of actual species differences? Very off putting.

Then games like City of Heroes or Champions Online are actually more fit as both of these have a very great amount of customization, but even they don't have as big as people would like.
The only thing I can see making this game anything interesting is the Star Wars IP and voice acting, but with 458347 Jedi's running around and everyone looking about exactly the same..? Meh.

From what I can tell we'll have emo Jedis running about, and nobody in their right mind would want that.

I would've rather had it a bit like in Galaxies, where only a certain few were actually allowed to be Jedi due to their dedication towards the game. So the whole "Holy shit, it's a Jedi" still is something that actually occurs.

The animations look kind of meh too.

While it's a lot of complaining, it borders down to the simple fact that the characters are simply not diverse enough, and the gameplay simply not looking very interesting. It doesn't give me the sense of wanting to play or even get the game, as it's just going to be WoW with different graphics, VA, and even more generic characters with no real personality to them whatsoever as all the races look identical with a bit of different face changes.


tl;dr = Game doesn't have enough species diversity, bad customization, only thing that makes this game interesting to the audience is the starwars IP and voiceacting.

Not many of you know me - but I will definitely be trying it out, my friend from Defias (Talasseus / Yrenicus) already made a Sith RP guild before the game came out!

So, I'll be joining his on the server "Trask Ulgo".

Hmm i have seen you post from time to time.... hay!

Hay!

To borrow a Star Wars term: "Prime!"

We will make an excellent Trasker out of you, looking forward to seeing you ingame!

I can kind of see what your saying on how everything looks Human but in Star Wars most species look Human unless you want to roll a Hutt or a Jawa. They have picked the species really well IMO and I'm glad to see the Zabrak in there.

Star Wars Galaxies was based in a Timeline where lore wise there was only 1 Living Jedi, Luke Skywalker. Star Wars the Old Republic is based on a time where Jedi and Sith are very dominant in numbers and looking at the stats there will be not much more Jedi and Sith than the other classes. The other classes look awesome.

I'm very disappointed Kel Dor isn't playable. They've only taken species that can kiss etc because of the whole romance thing that's ruining the game.

Fuck yeah Kel'dor, another thing that put me off. Loved playing as Kel'Dor while playing through Jedi Academy, in multiplayer I always played a Storm Trooper :3

Gief Wookiees. That is all.

Ewok Sith wtb

Woo, got in on the last wave t'day.

For the empire, bishes!

Same on both parts. Fuck yeah \o/

You'll know it's me if a Miraluka mocks you by saying how nice the color of your armor compliments your hair/eyes.

Spoiler:

Right then! I'm currently on my Human Jedi Knight named Koran. Poke me if you want to bump heads.



Oh yeah forgot to say...

This game is amazing.

I had no idea on what Star Wars name to use so I closed my eyes and clicked the random genorator... Apparantly there is no Allah in the Old Republic.

Sjeez. So many people are leaving for this game. It has only struck me now...
