Trailers: Star Wars: The Old Republic - Jedi Consular Trailer

[2xDouble]

One little thing bothers me about this trailer...

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

The best defense is a good offense?

Nah. The best defense is using the Force to become invulnerable to blasters and lightsabers. heh.

Huge waste of effort if you just decapitate the person(s) using those things against you, which you're going to have to do sooner or later anyways

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

Not even close. If anything the consular is more like a druid from WoW.

That's what I love about the internet, there's always someone on hand to disagree with you in five minutes or less.

When I see him transform into a bantha, we'll talk.

Using Two Steps From Hell music? The Old Republic just got 20% cooler.

That still leaves 80% more until I would actually purchase it, though.

Yeah, with his lightsaber. Which, oddly enough, he seems to use far less than he should, being a Jedi and not wanting to get cut in half lengthwise by a Sith blade.

Also:

If you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, share his fate, will you. [...] For once you start down that Dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

 

[Realitycrash]

As usual, the Jedi are the coolest thing in any thing Star Wars, while the rest look bland compared to other sci-fi.
This is neat. Especially compared to (yawn) the Bounty-Hunter vids.

Being the right hand of a galaxy spanning empire for decades? Sign me up.

 

[CronoT]

Sorry Star Wars. You look awesome, but you've fallen under the sway of the Dark Lord Darth EA. Allowing you into my computer will only lead to ruin.

 

[Ghengis John]

I'll be sure to let you know when they start wearing heavy armor as well.

*Highfive for mutual snarkiness time*

No but seriously. That makes me like you. I'm odd like that.

Well, not so much "right hand" as "lap dog"... but that's a whole other discussion.

Not to mention being called names like "Captain Life-Support" and "Wheezy" by your own troops behind your back. Well I guess it's not much worse than "Annie."

I'll get it anyway, to play with my MMO buddies again (half of us have quit WoW by now), but the game is looking really graphically unappealing.

 

[Ghostkai]

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

Please don't break the NDA on here mate. It's not cool.

Two Steps From Hell? Why didn't they just use the Star Wars soundtrack throughout.

 

[Abedeus]

Why does the combat look worse than in Jedi Academy? That game is freaking old, and the combat was a LOT prettier than here...

 

[PingoBlack]

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

It feels like they did ... then got a cheap offer on SW MMO licence from Lucas and tacked on some multiplayer.

Sadly.

They would have gotten tons more respect from me, BioWare, if they did KOTOR 3 and made their own IP MMO based on Mass Effect. This just feels half done now.

I hope they don't crash and burn with this, they spent lots of money and EA had no qualms killing off Mythic Entertainment last time their project crashed badly.

 

[Lawyer105]

In addition to the above complaints..... Dear God, they've given him WoW shoulders!

Seriously... what's up with those shoulder pads?? Anyone else think the consular look is seriously inspired by WoW : http://www.wowwiki.com/Mana-Etched_Regalia (without the head piece)?

So yeah... not liking the development of this so far. I'll keep holding out for Dark Millenium and Planetside 2.

 

[Vrach]

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

Hate to disappoint you, but it's split into two advanced classes. The Shadow can Tank&DPS while the Sage can Heal&DPS. And switching between them is (at least for now) not that easy.

OT: One of the best trailers, liked some of the camera panning and such - good to see some progress in that, really don't get why games are behind film in such aspects considering how much easier doing that stuff with an engine, as opposed to a real, mechanical camera should be.
