E3 Q and A!

This is an interview previewing E3 and officallly confirming the smuggler. Also, the most awesome part of the interview in my opinion, "we are the first-ever fully voiced MMO (both players and non-player characters have full voice throughout the game). This is one of the largest voice-over projects in the history of games--we're taking storytelling in MMOs to the next level, with real cinematic conversation."

OMFG YES! Fully voiced, that is amazing!

Also, a cover system and "charming" (flirting) skills for smugglers. Smugglers are acutally looking pretty awesome.

Awsome. I'm totally going with the smuggler class. Its also cool how there will be cinematic conversations. I'm amazed at the level of detail going into this game.
"Tell Jabba, I've got the money".

Oh, and I forgot...

I require that Jennifer Hale be commisioned to voice my supa-hot female companion. Actually it wouldn't hurt if she just voiced every single female in the game...

Well, they've got to fill up the character as much as they can, if they're only going to have 8. Four for each factions, and we already know about five of them. They need to make the remaining three damn good.

I think I've decided my class as well!


(But.. you never know)

Rex, you and I both know that would never be able to happen. Imagine if you were given a mission to deliver a crate of explosives.
"Where is it?"
"Where's what?"
"The explosives."
"What explosives? I don't know what you're talking about."
Plus, you'd never settle for just pistols, man. We know you want a massive rifle at your side

A new article at TenTonHammer that talks about the demo mission they got to play at E3 and some other stuf- http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/69111

Cool, finaly some gameplay footage.

Time for my two cents

We later saw the Bounty Hunter working in full effect with a Sith as they took on an Imperial ships entire crew after the captain disobeyed a direct Grand Moff order.

After reading that, I think it's going to be awesome to be able to explore Capital Class Ships, but disobeying a Grand Moff? Ain't that supposed to be in the Galactic Empire era, not the Old Republic era?

Also, I read that they are implementing Light Side and Dark Side points into the game, just like KotOR, which is also frigging awesome. They also stated that there will be looting, which could also be a great addition. Time to steal some Jedi Lightsabers

Quote :

Once the troopers and Padawan have been eliminated a Jedi Knight drops in and fights both players in an epic boss battle. As the Sith triumphed we saw some serious loot drop off the Jedi that both classes could use. The Sith was now able to wield two lightsabers, while the Bounty Hunter got a powerful upgrade to armor.

I like where they are going with this. You complete a mission or kill a boss, and you get powerful upgrades to your armour, if you're a Bounty Hunter. Another great addition.

Quote :

Full PvP, groups, raids, guilds, auctions, and crafting will play major parts in the game design and have players building up their resources to battle it out across the galaxy.

We finally find out about what's going on with Player to Player action. I like all these ideas, especially auctions. It'd be great if we could sell people into slavery. Profit for the GTC!

All in all, keep up with the awesome work, BioWare. You're going to make this game brilliant!

Oh yes, Rex. Just some random Bounty Hunter cruising around in a Capital Ship. Ah, the possibilities
I wouldn't mind if we could have Guild Capital Ships, say for a portable home base, where we send our smaller frigates and fighters from. THAT'D be awesome.

Me too!

That would be awesome!!


Imaging space assaults and capturing of Ships!

I think that is it unlikely that you could own "capital" ships... you hardly see one that isnt owned by a faction instead of an indivigual anyway.

Peronsonal ships seems a lot more likely.

Well, Guild ships are possible if there are ships in general and guild halls again in general!

I think...

Well personal ships can still be pretty large like yatchs and stuf. I was just saying that the huge capital ships arn't likely to be player/guild owned.

Well, we'll see!

I hope that you're wrong ( ) and that they will be obtainable... But not easily so that not every Guild will have one!

I would love it if we had our own guild ships, or maybe guild stations out in space. They could act as a sort of gathering point for guild raids and activities.

Aye, that'd be great. I would also love if we could try take over enemy guild space stations, and extend our reach into the Galaxy. We could have a whole Invade The Fortress type thing, where our ships come in, knock out the weaponry of the space station, while we send Troop Carriers in the board the enemy space station, and take it over from the inside. I would be in heaven if that were to happen.

Well, if we don't want to take it over, I guess that's an alternative. Just wait for us to get out before you blow it up. Hold that though. Wait for me to get out, but make sure you catch the bosses in the explosion, so us two can take over

KIDDING, chief! Don't kill me! I really need to stop these thoughts, though. I can't help it. I'm just very ambitious.

*DarkA seen whispering to Torgal* "Pshhh. I think it's time to brainwash this one... hes getting rebelious thoughts."

Well, the devs have gone on and on about making all the classes even, and that a Bounty Hunter or Trooper will be able to kill a Jedi/Sith, so I wouldn't worry too much. However, I believe that TOR is going to be HEAVILY based on PvP. In an interview that stated that there were going to have all sorts of PvP and Guild based activities.

Not all guild should have their base hidden though!

For example... We'll have one non-hidden fro sure!

Our main base you mean right..?

Well that'll be secret of course!

/me jumps in the pilot seat of teh guild starship

MINE!

I'd personally think that a guild starship would be a good idea, but for the purposes of our guild, it may attract some unwanted attention.
I think we would be better of having a hidden base on the ground, and use small craft to get to our missions. And raid other guilds starships

Well, of course our hidden base will be on the ground. *Cough* On Nar Shaddaa *Cough*. But we could always have Torgal doing the Emperor Palpatine Swivel Chair thing, on his big flagship. I REALLY want massive guild ships. Would be a great and new addition to MMO-ing (As far as I know, anyways).
