I'm definitely interested in the Agent/Sniper thing. I think it looks pretty cool.

I'm going to try out the Bounty Hunter (Merc) initially, but I'll roll an Agent and an Inquisitor (heal spec) as well.

I would be, but I'll be playing Republic classes...at least for a while. I was going to play a smuggler (that's my favorite from SWG), but I don't like the way the class looks in TOR. One of the aesthetic reasons is I really don't like dual wielding pistols (one of the BH specs has the same look), but I also don't like the look of some of the class mechanics - that may change when I get a chance to actually play the class.

I'll most likely be playing a Jedi Consular first, and if I like it, I'll spec healing at endgame.

Only the Gunslinger Advanced Class of Smuggler uses 2 pistols. The other one (Scoundrel) is a healer / utility type. That one only uses one pistol at a time, or a shotgun.

Gamescomm footage from yesterday.

This is the first raid in the game, Eternity Vault.

Was hoping this might find its way to the 360. Just can't justify the comparative cost of a qualified PC rig for gaming.

The Eternity Vault clip looks great. Everything I see about the game gets me more jazzed up for it.


On a side note, has anyone read any of the SW:TOR novels (Fatal Alliance and Deceived)?

Deceived was pretty decent. I have not read Fatal Alliance, but have read some reviews complaining that it sucks bad.

Thanks, I'm thinking I'll check them out to help pass the time between now and launch day.

Then I would definitely recommend Deceived.

Its in the iBooks store.

an xbox 360 is the equivalent to a top of the line gaming computer of about 7 years ago... one of those today would run you about $400 today.

I preordered my copy. How the hell do I reserve my character names, etc? I heard you could do that.

i don't think you can reserve your name. Name would be based on which server you choose.

If you pre-ordered and registered your code, you get early access to the game. Part of this access is the chance to create your character before everyone else and secure your toon names.

Early access is determined by when you register your code in reference to when they opened up the pre-orders. The earlier you register, the earlier you get to play.

ETA: The smuggler looks kickass in those Hutball vids.

Was on the fence about preordering because my unit was suppose to go to Afghanistan early next year, but it got canceled. Got my preorder in - are we going to have an arfcom guild, or what?

Sent in an application, couldn't think of a cool name to name my character so I guess I'll use the randomly generated one I used in SWG.

On a different note, apparently gamestop ran out of preorder early access codes.
