Star Wars: The Old Republic - Jedi Consular Trailer

As a Jedi Consular, bring peace and justice to the galaxy using the art of diplomacy or the strength of the Force.

This is the kind of diplomacy parts of the world could use more of.

Yes, impressive, Bioware - but you're still not getting my money on this one. Nothing personal; my soul already belongs to Dark Millennium.

 

[Sickly_Gazelle]

Maybe it's just me, but the gameplay looks a bit... sluggish.

I'm still planning to try it at some point after release, though.

We're an escapist (not The Escapist) guild on here, join us on whichever side of the force you prefer we're pretty casual like that.

 

[Susurrus]

Combat animations STILL look awkward and ugly.

One of my favorites so far.

Okay, that looked.. really sluggish. Those joints need some oil. And everybody just... ... stands there. This is disappointing.

And good god man! Wear something different! Something that doesn't make you look as puffy as an owl! And get a shave, you're not rocking that beard.

I'd be able to take that guy more seriously as a defender of justice and honor if he didn't look suspiciously like C&C's Kane.

 

[Arisato-kun]

Just take my money Bioware. Consular looks sweet. Plus they have healing, DPS AND tanking trees? I can do whatever I want? Awesome.

 

[The Lugz]

honestly, i'm unimpressed with this game as a whole it has done so little to distinguish itself from other mmo's at this point rift looks better to me and I've seen the server demo-play
( they turned the servers on for about 1000 people and said 'play normally please' to see what people would get upto

Warning, this REALLY is a spoiler. if you don't want to see my opinions of the last beta build do not click here.

Spoiler

teleporting from planet to planet feels very wrong. you have a ship but it has a canned take-off animation and just feels like a loading screen there needs to be an option to have flight time to walk around and craft things, talk to your crew or invite somone over for a party or just sleep through the entire flight imo.
i want to play holographic robot chess in my cruiser while i fly to Coruscant.
they give you the game board and everything.

and it's NOT cool to make people wait 4+ hours to get Datacrons from stupid locations
if that was a test of how patient people would be for them, then good. because people will nerd-rage the hell out.

shards are awesome, far better than wow's phased/instance areas they're like aion's fully realized and they fit with the architecture of the place

companions are weird, it's like playing a slightly lower level char than yourself as a multi-box
( i mean, you DID pick the same class as a companion.. right? anything else would be silly because they can use your old gear when you replace it else you might have to choose options specifically for them when you complete quests )
also, some of them do sickening damage

mobs are very dumb, i assume some kind of ai patch will happen soon as groups of 3+ can be conquered reasonably easily with the assistance of your companion, the ai's have seemingly 0 group logic

Just take my money Bioware. Consular looks sweet. Plus they have healing, DPS AND tanking trees? I can do whatever I want? Awesome.

Sort of, You pick an advanced class at level 10, Sage lets you Ranged dps or heal...Shadow is melee dps or tank.

You can't really swap out your advanced class like a pair of pants, so at any given moment you can preform 2 of the trinity roles. (they're debating this right now, but as it stands you'll be able to switch AC's maybe once or twice)

One little thing bothers me about this trailer...

A Jedi uses The Force for knowledge and defense. NEVER attack.

 

[The_Vigilant]

I'm really surprised with Bioware's lack of vision on this project.

That beefy ************ does NOT capture the essence of "oneness with the force," peace, and diplomacy. He looks like Edward Norton (pre-conversion) in American History X. Shaved heads might be a characteristic of eastern monks, but this game is marketed to the West, and in the West bald heads are most commonly a prison fashion or an expression of neo-Nazism.

The combat looks pretty boring too. For a game in which the universe has developed ranged weaponry to laser precision (literally), the fighting seems oddly "World of Warcraft" to me.

And, like everyone else said, it's ugly. I stopped accepting the argument that MMOs are necessarily ugly when I played Guild Wars. All in all, I'm still left thinking what I was thinking years ago when this project was announced:

"WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST MAKE KOTOR 3?"

 

[Blindrooster]

I'm excited for this game.

That being said I hated this video..... that guy didnt seem very.... consular-y or mystical.
If it has to be an mmo bioware at least don't dumb it down......

 

[Ghengis John]

I look forward to rolling a Paladin. *cough* I mean Consular.

The best defense is a good offense?
