Wait a second, I noticed rodians are not playable as a race? Noooooooo...

WoW... can i say that space combat looks lame? I was expecting something at least Freelancer style, (i know the joystick is all but non-existent these days RIP X-wing vs Tie fighter) But a rail space shooter?....maybe if they make it as fun as Star Fox it'll be cool lol.

so far Guild Wars 2 seems to be the most exciting of the new MMOs to me. but i'll still give SWTOR a shot, tho the space combat is disappointing too me...

*sigh* they just don't make space games like they used too... *reminisces about Wing Commander and Privater*

"If you can't imagine Leia kissing it, you probably can't play it" They said.

I really hope that changes at some point.

Female Twi'lek it is then. I sure can imagine Leia kissing a girl Twi'lek

Nice post mate nice too see all the info needed on SWTOR in one place

[Acidbaron]

To drag it thru the fact checker...as you set it up as an informative thread and wish to stop repeating you might want to think about what you're putting in it that will cause people to question you.

"So it has all the endgame concepts that other MMOs have?"
It sure does.

Yet to be shown, any endgame content other then 1 flashpoint for 4 people.
What is missing from "all other mmo's"?
No competive PvP has been announced yet in terms of Arena's, rated Battlegrounds, Sieges etc. Yes this is seen as Endgame for PvPers.
No big party raids, it has been said something for PvE will be there but right now it's all wishful thinking and assumptions.
No repeatable quests or solo content, yet to be announced aswel.

Only thing we know sure of that will be there at max level is the spaceship minigames and the 1 instance for four.

For the rest, looks correct would've thrown in more interviews that shown an other perspective to let them sort out the positives and negatives themselfs but you're emotionally invested in it and so think you managed to remain fairly objective with choice of highlights.

Excellent post, very well thought out.

I believe all this was "announced" in one way or another.

[Acidbaron]

Okay then i'll gladly stand corrected with no problem, if there are any sources for this.

I know that there will be warzones and that they are tied in with the story what for me comes across more like conflicts you experience under leveling.

[Geomatician]

Now with the PvP War Zones, they are going to be instanced as well?

The PvP War Zones are very similar to what you see in WAR and WoW.

Will there be any instances of open PvP or is that something you have on your map?

Well, we haven't really talked much about that yet, but I'd rather not say much about that. But since other games have that, it's a likely assumption.

So you are looking at it?

We will have open PvP play and we will have instances, I'll just put it that way.

Haven't seen much about Arena though.

As an pre-release AoC community veteran, i don't really like to go by assumptions

Yes, i'm aware of that article i'm more refering to the point of competitive, ranked PvP and capturable PvP objectives.

[Yooya]

I believe that there is one quote, alone, that actually says they will have "everything" end game. It was very broad and all encompassing.

That Flashpoint is also not max level. Its mid-level.

You wouldn't really compare AoC to this though, but be sceptical if you wish.

I'm sure there'll be an inclusion of competitive PvP from the impression given by the quotes, the form of which is ofcourse like most things, yet to be known.
