This post is off topic please feel free to look though the rest of the site for the greatest information on Swtor.
If you need something to do until Swtor comes out then read on!
Even with all the excitement of Swtor being available for pre-order. I think many of us still need something to do with my free time whilst waiting for Swtor. Its been a long wait and I am sure many of you are still playing mmorpgs to pass the time until Swtor is released.
Problem I have is that I have played many mmorpgs recently and none of them really sticked with me. So I decided to find something else to play. I came across Battlestar Galactica Online which is a free to play in browser game. Now unlike most in browser mmorpgs Battlestar is 3D and is a actual mmo. Whats great is that its free and you do not have to download anything. You pilot a ship which you can customize and you can customize your character for play outside of the ship. The game-play is surprising deep and very fun. Its great to see that browser based mmorpgs have a bright future. Not having to download anything is a real nice feature.
So if you are looking for a great free to play mmorpg. Then I recommend you try out BGO. I know I will be playing it until I can start playing Swtor.
I am sure you all see the video on the Swtor Bounty Hunter class progression last Friday. I would just like to add my comments about the Bounty Hunter Class in Swtor. I already know which class I am going to play but everytime I see one of these new videos I must say I am tempted. Right now Swtor just has too many good looking classes to choose from. My mind is set on the Jedi Knight lol but I am sure that many of you are in the same boat as me, You know what you want to play but as new information on other classes are released you are always tempted to change you mind.
OK to the Swtor Bounty Hunter, Looking at Bounty Hunter video I can imagine a lot of people who will making Bounty Hunters. It has a mix that attracts a lot of players, I myself like classes that can take a good amount of damage but also give out a lot of damage. They are great classes to level solo with and are very useful in groups hence why I want to play a Jedi Knight.
I am sure that everyone will agree how powerful the Bounty Hunter looks. It also looks like a fun class to play, The skills all look good and they are fairly unique. Having the ability to fire missiles, lasers, rockets etc out of your wrist is certainly attractive. You just know that fighting with a Bounty Hunter will be a nightmare due to the amount of knockdowns and stuns they seem to have. Anything cool you can think of it seems the Swtor Bounty Hunter has the skills to fire it from their arsenal of gadgets. Bounty Hunters will be my worse nightmare since if I do play a Jedi Knight I can imagine a Bounty Hunter serving me my ass all day long.
I still have yet to play the game so I cannot say what skills other classes have to counter the Bounty Hunter but and ranged class with a good defense is always going to be a tough opponent. And last but not least the Jetpack lol. It looks like the Jetpack will provide the Bounty Hunter a way to increase the power of their rockets and also allow them to quickly get away from melee classes. If you have still not seen the video I will put it down below for you. So have a look and let me know what you think.
Will you be a warrior for the republic or a evil servant of the empire…..
Well it all depends on what class you are going to play in Swtor since each class has its own faction or allegiance and right now there are two allegiances and two factions in Swtor. At this time it is hard to say how much these allegiances will affect what you have to do in the game but from what has been said I can imagine they will have a huge impact on what you can do ingame. Each allegiance has two force using classes and two other classes within them so lets take a look at these allegiances and factions.
The Galactic Republic – Swtor Guide
The Galactic Republic is a allegiance for those players that will play on the light side of the force and also troopers and smugglers will be part of the republic. This might surprise you but the smuggler basically prefers the way the republic does things compared to the evil Sith Empire.
The Galactic Republic prides itself on freedom and individual rights everything they do is decided by the senate which is made up of thousands of star systems throughout the galaxy, Its all about democracy for the republic and this is how it has been for more than twenty thousand years. If you are planning to play a Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight or a Jedi Consular then you will be playing for the republic which isn’t a bad thing since the planets you will be doing assignments on will be lighter and more beautiful than Sith players.
Faction – Jedi Order
The Jedi Order are the guardians of the republic and therefore their faction is aligned with the republic, Known as the peace keepers of galaxy and are called in to handle disputes between other factions or in some cases even individuals. Being a Jedi ingame should be a amazing experience they are well know for their fighting abilities, Using force skills and lightsabers the Jedi is a worthy adversary for anyone.
The Jedi Order is led by a 12 Jedi Master council which makes decisions on what the Jedi should get involved in and where there efforts are most needed. It is likely that If you play a Jedi in Swtor you will be taking your orders from the Jedi council. So If you fancy fighting for the Lightside then the Jedi Order is for you.
The Sith Empire – Swtor Guide
The Sith Empire are as evil as they come and are determined to dominate the galaxy and the emperor of the Sith has lived for more than 1.300 years! If you are planning on playing a Imperial Agent, Bounty Hunter, Sith Warrior or a Sith Inquisitor then you will be fighting for the Sith Empire. The planets and areas of which a empire player will be exploring are looking very dark and crude and isn’t for those who enjoy brighter and more lively areas.
The Sith Empire is a dictatorship where basically whatever the emperor wants he gets, Determined to destory the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order the Sith Empire will hire Bounty Hunters and use Imperial Agents to attack the republic and Jedi. If the Empire ever did gain control of the galaxy free people will be doomed.
Faction – Sith Lords
The Emperor himself is a Sith Lord and therefore ties this faction will the Sith Empire, Sith Lords include classes such as the Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor. Both of these classes in Swtor are looking amazing right now and have the skills and weaponry to go with it. The Sith Lords was once defeated by the Jedi Order in the great hyperspace war which has left them looking for revenge.
The Sith Lords use anger as there main strength which combined with the dark side of the force makes them lethal combatants. Weilding two handed lightsabers and a massive use force lighting is what we have all been seeing from the Sith Lords. So if you are feeling a little bit evil and dont mind taking orders from an even more evil emperor, Then being a Sith Warrior or Sith Inquistor will be the path for you.
Bioware Recently Released A New Gameplay Video Which Looks Amazing!
Where you can see a Sith Lord (Sith Warrior) In Action With A Bounty Hunter
The world of Swtor has been made during and since this years E3. We have since more about Swtor at E3 2011 than any other in the recent years of E3. This is a good sign since it shows that Swtor has come along way is should be getting real close to release sometime this year. One of the videos recently released by Bioware is basically a small preview to sum up all the of gameplay features in Swtor. Although this video is a lot shorter than it needs to be it does in fact show a lot of cool stuff about Swtor all in one place. Anyone that has been keeping up with Swtor for the last few years would of see a lot of this gameplay features in full as they was announced but for those of you guys that have not really been keeping track with Swtor this video I feel will give you a quick insight into what gameplay features Swtor has to offer and I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Check out the Swtor gameplay video and feel free to let me know what you think.
At E3 2011 we got a to a Swtor developer walkthrough a mission on Tatooine. The mission basically consisted of traveling about Tatooine on a speeder bike, Killing a few sand people and finding an Artifact in a cave in Tatooine. This Swtor video like the last flash point developer walkthrough shows a lot of game play footage which was real nice to see. The only thing that was kind of a disappointed is the fact that the Swtor developer choose to play on a Sith Inquisitor which is fine but the Sith Inquisitor seems like a boring class to play. Powerful it may be but I wouldn’t like to play a class that just stands still using force lighting over and over again.
It seems to me that a lot of the Sith Inquisitors attacks are very similar. Lucky this is just one advance class of the Sith Inquisitor because I can see that class getting seriously boring after sometime. Have a look at the video and let me know what you think of it. I must say it does look promising since the mission since very detailed and different, Maybe this is because it is part of a story when other mmorpgs make missions and quests more of a grind with no real story behind them.
