I didn't like this one as much as the other videos.

Ya, found it pretty dull tbh. But then again, that may just be because I find ranged classes boring anyways.

Its very different for sure. IA doesnt have a lot of models to look up to like jedi knight etc has so it doesnt have the coolness factor from those models. But I think it loves up to its own pretty well

Btw, there is a hidden update on the pre-order page:

CUSTOMERS WHO PRE-ORDER STAR WARS™: THE OLD REPUBLIC™ WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME BEFORE THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH. “EARLY GAME ACCESS” IS THE PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE OFFICIAL GAME LAUNCH WHEN PRE-ORDER CUSTOMERS MAY ACCESS THE GAME. EARLY GAME ACCESS MAY BE UP TO 5 DAYS. THE LENGTH OF YOUR EARLY GAME ACCESS DEPENDS ON THE DATE AND ORDER IN WHICH YOU REDEEMED YOUR PRE-ORDER CODE AT THE CODE REDEMPTION CENTER. SEE PRE-ORDER FAQ FOR MORE DETAILS.

Someone beat you to it. :P

I am wondering how they're determining the length of time...

IA video is up. Looks like I get to be the mustard. =p

Yep you get to be the mustard. Totally happy about the update. TOTALLY PSYCHED for the game now! Took a long time for the video but I am sure not the operative is the class for me.

IA is definitely gonna be my first class but not because of that video. For me, it's because the chick who voiced female Hawke in DA2 will be voicing female IA. lol

Btw, there is a hidden update on the pre-order page:

It really isn't any kind of update at all. It say early game access MAY be up to 5 days. That means it could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 10 etc. It really says nothing at all except that 5 is a good possible guess.

Only good thing about that video is that it makes it clear that everyone with talent at Bioware is still busy working on the game to make it awesome for launch, so they didn't have time to help the intern who threw it together. lol

Seriously, these official videos blow.

LOL! That is sooooooo true. Not really fond of any of them.

*shifty eyes* You do work for BioWare, don't you?!

[Trollsbane]

Early game access sounds like it means it's up to 5 days, depending on when you entered your code.

Operative portion was much better than the Sniper one for sure. Just sitting there sniping peeps in the head, in my opinion, is boring. Some people will like that kind of style though.

If they wait until Christmas to give me my SI progression I will smack them!

Loved the IA vid. It has me torn.

The IA/Smuggler is the class I'd least want to play based on mechanics, but one of the classes I'm super psyched about as far as story goes. Either way, it won't be my main, but I'm thinking I'll be leveling one up sooner, rather than later.

Early game access starts the 15th?

If they wait until then, it's a moot point as I will be a couple days into my own progression!

Different departments have different jobs. There is only so much you can do with a class that hides behind cover and pops out to shoot two times and then hides again. Nice hating tho :> love teh passion on teh intrawebz

Perfect. Pre-ordered minutes into it on July 21st. Family coming over from Italy on the 22nd Dec so I have 7 days of TOR joy, nice.

Hehe I pre-ordered (and redeemed code) mine on July 21st too so I'm thinking I should get the full five days. Can't wait!
