Anyone else awaiting this game?
See
you ask the question
but with that signature
I'm not sure what I should say
You've put me in an awkward position, Leetdragon.
Hmm, indeed it is.
You must choose what you say very, very carefully.
Mwahahahaha *mad laughter ending in coughing fit* ...
Not really. Why, should I be?
no efu is my world
*shrugs*
I dunno, i like star wars.
Merely asking if anyone else is waiting for the game.

Very, very, very tentatively following this. The whole project is so ambitious that I'm extremely worried that it'll just turn into one big dud, but if anyone can pull this off, I know it's Bioware.
The game looks like it'd be great if it were just single-player. But as an MMO? Meh.
Bioware is not that good. I say that this will be an utterly terrible game! And I play NWN only because of EFU:A.
I dunno, an MMO? I couldn't play any sort of setting like that without RP, and I highly doubt there will be all too much of that.
The fate of Star Wars: The Old Republic depends upon not the game itself but people. That is why I think the game will not tank but not succeed.
Also, no.
I love Star Wars, and I reckon this will be great. Hell, I doubt there'll be a great many roleplayers, but once you find a group, I bet it'll be fun. Just like NWN was filled with non-RPers, and it took us all a little while to uncover the awesome of EfU and EfU:A, all it takes is time.
If it's as action packed as the cinematic trailer then it'll be good.
And I daresay there'll be a tad of RP somewhere in it.
You too can be a Jedi Knight.
And you.
And you.
And you.
And...
Will be using lightsabers for q-tips.
I'm sure they'll make methods of balance, IE: Jedi usually can't wear armor in the games, which leaves their AC to have some desirable things, and they can spend Feats to boost it. Though in KOTOR 2, they DID put armor for Jedi to use...
But regardless, I got a feeling there'll be a number of anti-Force/Lightsaber items in the game that can only be used by Non-Jedi, as well as awsome gear, the same, to keep us mortals able to fight Jedi.
Perhaps Jedi/Sith will suffer ECL or something similar, slowing their powerfulness down so that classes can get the edge needed? After all, it takes more time to train someone to throw things with their mind/deflect blaster bolts/slice off arms with a lightsaber than it does to teach someone how to shoot a blaster.
I hate MMOs
but I <3 Starwars Games.
Conundrum, will, this one have.
will have to wait until it comes out

Did you play Galaxies? Booooring as sin. I tried, I tried so hard. Wasn't worth it.
I tried Galaxies and just spent my time burning around the desert in my landspeeder finding secret places... it wasn't that fun to be honest.
Galaxies made my eyes bleed. Then they made me cry, because they implemented jedi. Then it made me bawl for the jedi that got screwed. Then my eyes bled again because I realized the UI sucked. Galaxies wasn't worth the try to Best Buy, or even the whole two hours I spent with it. The only Star Wars games I've ever really liked were the two KotOR games, which is why I hope Bioware doesn't screw it up.
And, what's with all the D20 jargon? Are they going to take a similar approach on the mechanics to KotOR and 3e?

I thought there were high notes for this game when it was first announced, but the moment they said that "jedi" was an immediately playable/attainable feature, my hopes plummeted.
It's like they didn't want to replicate the length of time when SWG was good...they just wanted to skip right to the bad part when everyone could play a jedi.
Personally I am far more interested in playing a BOUNTY HUNTER. Bobba Fett best character ever.
This is all I want.

secutor, you post a picture with a jedi just about to cut off his own hand with his lightsaber. Is he Emo?
Looks promising, will check it out.

Behemoth, they couldnt cut their own hand off to be emo... its lazer the wound wouldnt bleed. He'd be like this is the end.... *zzzz* oh crap! hah.
I think it will be awesome. cept you can never know till your've gotten past vista and the shitty windows.. *sighs*
Im keen as for Republic comando or bounty hunter they'd be better RP than jedi. Cause naturally everyone under the sun will be jedi or sith. But my bounty hunter will be collecting lightsabers, mwahahahaha!

They want neither of these, if I recall correctly. They don't want to replicate SWG at all- TBH, whilst SWG was an awesome MMO, it wasn't a great Star Wars game, being closer to Ultima Online than anything else. They understand that in a Star Wars game, people are going to want to be doing shit from the movies. Smart business sense, really. I reckon Bioware can pull this off as well as any other- definitely keeping an eye on this.
I was under the impression that everyone was a jedi or sith and the non jedi/sith characters were your companion character
So a galaxy where 40% of the population is either a jedi or sith? Not to mentio that 40% are the human players?
"So a galaxy where 40% of the population is either a jedi or sith? Not to mentio that 40% are the human players?"
It is odd that, cept you gotta remember this is set like 3,000 to 4,000 years before the movies. Anything could be possible.

But what's the point in being a jedi? it's no longer something "special" or "awsome". Lame IMO.
Bobba fet's wanna-be's though, are going to rock.
PS: What i'm looking foward to is Dragon age... and Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 but thouse aint bioware so...
Am I the only person who thought Boba Fett was a loser?
::Cough.::
