The wait is killing me! This game will be amazing! |
|
|
Well I like the exposition myself, more would be most welcome :D Gift. |
|
|
looks cool ...hope u can make even more chaos ne heh heh |
|
|
I'm pretty sure this is the kinda place where the trooper class will begin. (I wonder if they're making a sith trooper class) |
i need to play this game!!! looks amazing |
|
|
Bioware made the Kotor series and it was spectacular so don't worry about it being like SWG it most likely won't(or at least i hope it won't) ALL HAIL THE SITH §_§ |
|
|
Is it just me or are the most vocally impatient people here using darkside avatars/usernames? Lol? |
|
|
Awesome planet can't wait for the game |
|
|
Looks awesome, can't wait! |
|

WHO CARES IF YOU GET BETA DarthJonicus. I fed up with people posting all over the place "I hope I get BETA". Everyone hope's they get a chance but even if you don't so what.Just because you write it, doesn't mean you stand a better stead than anyone else. It's not all about you, it is about the marvel of bio-ware and what they are doing for us much loved MMO fan's. I don't care if the game is not released till 2012 because the longer they spend getting things right and listening to players the better the game will be. Which so far they seem to have the balance right. |

|
I think this game is best than all of online games. |
|
|
Patience younglings! :D |
|
|
I can't wait to play the game cos im going to this planet and killing everything it will rain chaos mwa ha ha |
|
|
this looks awesome :D |
|
|
Absolutely stunning! The anticipation is literally killing me, I might not make it. |
|
|
Sounds like my future home. Dangerous, dead, dirty, barren...perfect for deception and evil. |
|
|
Looking forward to trying this out, i used to play the old SWG |
|
|
I'm always disappointed when I go to check this site every Friday and still no more gameplay footage. Still. Pretty cool to read. |
|
|
It seems very dark and like a place who doesn't belong to the Empire or to the Republic. Very nice about that, because is very well 'set' in that aspect. And that stage/map suggests... 'chaos', and 'disorder'. I like it, :P. |
|
|
The pics of Balmorra look much like what Tabula Rasa used to look like...... |
|
|
Target eliminated. End transmission... |
|
|
If anyone who is complaining that they hope the game is not too much like SWG obviously has not played the ORIGINAL SWG, that game was truly a sandbox where anyone could become whatever they wanted. Sure it was a difficult game, but that was what made it so good. People do not realize that what SWG is now is nothing like what it used to be and thats the reason it is so terrible now; if they did anything correct with this game they would make some aspects like the old SWG but it is obvious they already are not doing that because of the class system. Hopefully they get the game right though because so far it does look interesting! |
|
|
Does anybody know anything about any jedi classes yet? |
|
|
The idea for this plannet is awesome. I think we have the PVP planet a lot are dreaming about. I just wonder how will this place be accessed in a PVE or RP only server... |
|
|
Do you know what the difference, droidboy, between us "meatbags" and you droids? NOTHING! You both die easily! *Lightning!!* |
|
|
I think I might just know where HK-47 is hiding... ;) |
|
|
He's hiding on Mustafar :P |
|
|
I hope so. I want to see HK-47 as a playable character. Or I can be a Sith Warrior with HK as my companion! |
|
|
You know the longer it takes them to make the game the more they can add to the game and make the game better. I hope this game is as good as everyone is saying it is. |
|
|
(sigh).... this is the reason why im sad to see an mmorpg, people are gonna form clans, and pwn all the noobs, haha oh so funny. all id want outta this game is like mostly me playing by myself, and when needed a few friends to help out, but man i hate the idea of sharing worlds with clan idiots that probably will waste they're life on this game, so please with all due respect stop recruiting!! >( |
|
|
AMEN! |
|
|
Very cool. |
|
|
wen this game gunna come out i mean cmon keep us waiting!! (cant waait to explor new planet^-^) |
|
|
I really hope Tatooine will be in Swtor =) |
|
|
yeah i hope they dont make it like SWG... but lets be honest its bioware... not sony that is making this game... lucas arts trusted Sony with the game making and it flapjacked or bioware wouldnt be making another star wars MMORPG... if they did it in the first place... this Game is going to be worth the wait as the detail of the planets and gameplay peviews show its going to be the best game out there but they need to doit well so it may take another year before it comes out... but to put it shortly im sure they have the best people to do this and it will be nothing short of amazing when its finished |
|
|
I just hope they dont make it too much like SWG. cuz that game was fun for a bit but so far I didnt like it. |
|
|
the plants that have been shown have one star but there need the other system two,three,four or more in a star system like Tatooine? |
|
|
the more i try to understand, the more my brain hurts... |
|
|
plants? ohhhhhhhhhhhhh you mean planets. ;) |
|
|
can't wait can't wait |
|
|
Anyone want to guess how many planets there will be? |
|
|
BrusTaban: hmmm true lol. |
|
|
On the timeline videos appear 16 planets, 8 controled by the empire and 8 controled by the republic. But they didn't showed the neutral worlds like hutta, so I think the game will have at least 20 planets |
|
|
woops LordShade thought you just said there are only 30 planets lol...well yeah you're right there are over 30...preety much like a 100 or so, so far; probably more lol. |
|
|
Lol LordShade there are more than 30 planets in Star Wars lol. And Renik, in one of the 1st Dev vids there is a Galactic Map shown w/ all |
|
|
Dude, there's over thirty planets in the Star Wars universe, and this game is the biggest Star Wars game yet. Star Wars:The Force Unleashed has over 10 planets. Star Wars Battle Front II has about 20 planets and that game is pretty small. I predict this game will feature every planet ever mentioned in the Star Wars movies, video games, webisodes, web comics, normal comics, and that Star Wars The Clone Wars show. And believe me, thats a lot of planets. |
|
|
At least Six. But SWG had 10 planets. (which was why they had sooooo much LAG) |
|
|
cant wait, cant wait!! |
Internets! |
