awesome.

Wow, there are a whole lot of cool places in this game, I can't wait for it, I'm thinking of emailing George Lucas and Steven Spielberg about a movie prospect. The latest Star Wars film, THE OLD REPUBLIC!! Now thats sickk!

Its an ion cannon :)

there's a shield generator left of the ion cannon on the left, at least it should be one

I wonder if that is an ion cannon or a shield generater

looks pretty cool

Nice Place

Will Be interesting to see how Tatooine works during this Era...Smuggler just might be the most fun Class to play

hmm looks very industrialized, much like some of the planets in "the force unleashed"

yeh i agree

It should be a nice change from the very structured version of civilization of swg.

It will be like we are really in star wars universe. This game will be awsome! Looks like we will be able to live and free roam in this game.

Looks cool....like a wartorn world open pvp

For those who want this game finished quickly I have a message.This game comes when it comes. The longer it takes, the better it is. I mean, what could be worse then waiting this long and them rushing through it,just to give us a game that would hold our interest for A MONTH before we would move on. Disappointing.Plz be patient.

As much as I don't want to agree I have to agree also, I'd rather wait a year and have them polish the game rather than wait a few months and come into a SWG gimic.

Though saying that, Its Bioware, whether it comes out in a year or in a few months, its bound to be awesome!

*cough* For the Republic!

I would have to agree. we must have patients.

What an eerie place to look at. I like it!

"Patients, my young padawan!"
"What?"

I think the RP and PvP in this game will be great the detail loks absolutly stunning.I tihnk the game will based more on PvP and RP rather then PvE although I do hope that put in "raids" and "dungeons".One question though how will you rez once or if you die? O_o I am so quitting WoW for this.

I've already quit.

It -may- be like in SWG where if you die you come back as a clone of yourself, but to be honest I do hope it's not, because I can't get into depth with my character knowing that I'm playing as my characters clone everytime I die.

As for raiding I hope they find a way around the typical Tank, Healer and DPS gameplay, because though its the easiest way to raid it gets boring and repetitive after a while for all three, and besides, if they did go for the Tank, Healer and DPS setup (god help us) what classes are going to be which? Jedi Tank? I really hope not.

good point...quiting wow also

isnt balmora a city in morrowind :P

The wait for this game, while painful, will be well worth it.

Cant wait to rip across this and many other greatly detailed planets.

Wonder if you can be Mandalorian

This game just keeps getting better and better.

I Think If PVP is Optional like in SWG, Evil Classes and Good Classes wont matter. We'll Just RP on it. And Duel for the Roleplay or Emote. Whatever works. because i know im going to be Roleplaying alot

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
And I know I know I know I know I know I want you ;)

You know I see all these pictures of Jawa's. Maybe they should make a playable neutral classes (as alot of people seem to like them). And Jawa's , bounty hunters, smugglers, and grey Jedi could be part of them. I mean everyone makes a "mule" to carry their extra stuff they can't put in the bank or the auction house, but they want or need. Jawa's history and such make them the perfect mules. Maybe a trader class...heh. I'm still waiting to see when the Republic gets Wookies ;). It's a great problem to have but Bioware is going to have to figure out what races they are going to put in, and when they will release new ones. As the Star Wars universe is just too rich in diversity to have so few playable races in it.

Nice and the story line seems kind of "neutral". A planet that is greatly desired by both sides. The Empire will do anything to obtain the weapons. The Republic is desperate to keep them. The people were allied with the Republic, are greatful for their return, but bitter over being abandoned. Seems like a nice place for a smuggler or a bounty hunter to show their loyalty to cash and work for whoever pays the most coin ;). PC mercanary types, going to the highest bidder, it probably won't be implemented as such, but I love the story idea. And where else could PC's obtain their own personal battledroids? Heh.

Wow, that's just really excellent detail.

thats look really nice!

I hope this game will be PvE and PvP. If you wont to XP by doing quest and no PvP cool. If you wont to do a lot of PvP will that is cool too. Me I wont to see the battle filed cover with blood by mobs or other playres. Kill them all and let god sort themout.

Belac...I agree. I am sure the makers of this game have seen the failings of other games that have gone either just PVE or PVP. It is obvious that in an MMO there has to be a balance of PVP and PVE. You also have to have a ton of quest, interesting story backgrounds, dueling (I personally loath duels, as a good dueler does not neccessarily a great PVPer make), trade skills, an auction system, a mail system , the ability to grind just killing mobs,lots of one group instances, and guild instances. I also hope they put in Pazaak (the rules of MMO's say you have to be 18 to play anyways). I can't wait to hear a person in OOC saying dude, can you loan mey money for an upgrade, I lost all my money on Pazaak and I need to upgrade my lightsaber. It could also be a way to bleed the economy of all the farmers that inevitably join in any game. Farmers addicted to Pazaak and betting speeder racing, I love it. LOL.

haha love where the cannon is, really epic!

wasnt that cannon on hoth

So im guessing this is going to be like a pv zone, hopefully the whole game will be a pvp zone

The problem with the entire world being a pvp zone is that players uninterested in pvp will continue to get bullied on by kids with nothing better to do than just that. Ahem, I'm sorry if I left some of you "adults" out there out of that equation, but on second thought... are you really proud of yourselves? lol Having certain areas being pvp flagged, yet remaining open, would be a great alternative. This way, you can choose to, or not to, participate. * Also, making these areas "shortcuts" between certain zones would be cool too. "Feel like risking a respawn to cut 4-5 mins off your run?" CAN'T WAIT!

looks like a prime place for bounty hunters to make some easy bounties off of officers...on either side

It would be nice to be able to explore geonosis a bit more, cause we've only seen it in clone wars, and I wonder what its turned into. I know that on the timline it told a bit about it, but I still wanna explore it more.

Very nice... gonna enjoy spending some time there, defending agains the Rebel scum!

Well... there are no "Rebel Scum"... but, what tha' heck! GO SITH YEEHAW! lol

(I'll have a Jedi character too... so... I refrain)

Nice Place

you people who are saying Bioware hurry up...would you rather end up with hasten stuff and cut content like KOTOR2?

He he he lets see how many jedi die a horrilbe death due to a certain type of lightning when I crash the place.

Hmmmm... sith base... heavily fortified... I can blow it up.

Hooah!

Not if im there to stop you...

sith, your going down!!!!! maybe you should go hide for 300 more years until you can put up a fight for this planet becuase you already lost!!!

War torn and desolate...sounds like a bounty hunter social club. I tell you, I am definitely getting off Nal Hutta ASAP and coming over here or to Coruscant. (BTW, if you're listening Bioware, I think Ilum would work well for this game -- especially with all those lightsaber crystals...)
