Star Wars: The Old Republic - Megathread/Discussion [Release Day is Upon Us]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

1. Correct.

2. Yes, you will get an email with scheduled date and time. Until then will your "PLAY" button be click-able. Right now, it is greyed out.

3. Your free 30 day trial should start on the 20th. Early access is a separate 7 days, granted, not all of us will get to play all 7 days.

I think you might have to set it up before the 30 day trial, so that it can charge the second your trial ends. You basically get early access, and before the 20th you have to enter your billing info so you can play without having your access to the game stopped on the 20th, I could be wrong though.

I will probably do Imperial Agent first, then a Sith Inquisitor. I will probably go for healing since that seems to be what is needed most(from reading forums.) IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Inconsistancy"] No, I just prefer the look of the female characters.wis3boi

Aside from "type model 2" for male, the rest are crap. They could have thrown in a couple more body types.

For instance, why is there only a fat guy body type but not a "chubby" type? There's a difference.

male jedi sage specced in telekinectics. I will play on the most populated east coast pvp server with my friend from wow.

One more day to go until early access, yay!

I gave in and decided to give the game a shot. I'm still unsure about what class I'll go with, but probably Smuggler Scoundrel or Jedi Sage.

I played in the beta for a while, and got my Smuggler to level 10, and off the starter world. That was fun, but I think I will probablyroll an Imperial Agent as my main.

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Are you female?FelipeInside

Several reasons

1. Roleplaying: You want to roleplay a character of the other sex, perhaps this could be a lover/sibling to another of your chars, it can also be because you have this story concept that would benefit from playing a certain gender.
2. Looks: Sometimes famales just look better for certain gear and classes.
3. Characer Concept: Simiar to reason one but not necessariy because of RP reasons, just fits this character concept.
4. Lore: Not specificly for this game, but in others, sp,e race/gender/class options just dont fit in well with the lore.
5. Admiration: Sometimes some players want to have a character to imitate others. For Bounty Hunters: Jango Fett, Boba Fett... Samus Aran.

Artekus

Smuggler Scoundrel

• You get a shotgun
• Will most likely be a lot less common
• Better Story
• Wookie Companion

Jedi Sage

• You get glowsticks
• The force
• More accessible

Personally I would pick Smuggler of the two. If you are stil unsure you can check their skill lists

Smuggler+Scoundrel

Cant link the Jedi's skill lists sorry :(

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Ah right. I never understood people playing the other sex on MMOs (or normal RPGs). Don't get me wrong, I ain't bagging you or anything. I respect ur gameplay. I just never understood it myself.Advid-Gamer

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"][QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] I like female toons better, especially in TOR, they look alot better then the males, and in wow the nerds always wanted to help me because they thought I was a female in real life lol

lx_theo

In an MMO. Just go along with it or just ignore it. Never respond "Oh I'm a dude".

My Draenei was a Belf before I server xfered and did a faction change. I got just as much attention, but the Horde sometimes take it too far. Someone asked me if I wanted to cyber privately in Durotar. :roll:

In TOR, the females are nice to look at, and I dont know about you, but I would rather stare at a chicks butt all day then a males.:P And the only people that know I am a male are friends or guildies I get into vent with, and no one ever cares, I think its common.

[QUOTE="wis3boi"][QUOTE="Steameffekt"] I can relate to that lol. I played a female Draenei Mage in WoW and one time I did a random dungeon and was paired with this male Human Shadow Priest and he let me get all the cloth drops. He even started flirting with me. :PSteameffekt

lx_theo and Advid, both of those are also reasons to roll female. In a few Korean mmos there is another one, some items (and even classes are gender exclusive), thus if you want to be a dancer for instance you have to be female.

Yeah, that is a good point. You should have seen my town in Terraria, I didnt build a castle and my village was definately not disneyland. Instead, I opted to build clay houses, cheap wooden houses, and overall the town didnt look particulary wealthy.

Anyhow, I tried being as neutral as possible as you can probably see, otherwise I would not have mentioned the force and glowsticks as pros for the Jedi Consular. Still, I realized I forgot to mention that the Scoundrel is a short range/mid range char and as a result, I believe the Jedi Sage has a range advantage. I can easily see why people would roll both :)

Wise words, wise words.

Saying "Oh I'm a dude" got me in a lot of trouble once. Many people were added on ignore list that day.

Has anyone already received an email with their scheduled time for early access???

[QUOTE="Steameffekt"]

[QUOTE="wis3boi"] yea the WoW crowd was like that. My blood elf deathknight was all the rage for the wrong reasons...I just played along...free stuff is goodwis3boi
