I've been playing since mid to late 2013, and I have 38 toons. Their will be no other Star Wars game let alone any game like SWTOR, me and my Dad are still in awe on how far this game has come.
Been playing since beta, I have 26 level 60 toons, I lead a guild so large we've needed to break down into 6 guilds to get the character slots we need. I can confirm, this game is awesome.
this is actually one of the best videos ive seen in terms art, detail, and lighting. Its looking really good, even on the graphics standpoint; doing a really good job for an MMO. Really looking forward to devoting my life to this game.. next to my wife.
@Commandant02 The graphics are amazing. The fact that they can be played and look different from high end computer to low ones. They created their own style to be unique.
I've played every MMO in the last 7 years and I can honestly say this is the best I've ever played. I'm totally addicted... going to need an intervention to break me of this habit.
I have a low end computer, so I think the graphics are great compared to other games I've played, and I have it set pretty low so it runs faster. And you also have to consider what they're working with here. Star Wars is a delicate universe to work with. It took Star Wars Galaxies 8 years to get to where they were, and then they finally couldn't do anything else to keep players paying. The f2p option is a huge step to take in its first year, and I'm sure more is to come.
@Jamaicanskater Amazon.com has the CE available again (a couple people already confirmed that they received the CE key etc. just yet). The $398 prize was from shady resellers.
@18FireFly81 No not really your basic attacks you can do immediately after the attack is finished. Your special attacks you will have to wait for a cooldown but its no different than ME2 where you had to wait for a cool down for your abilities. Also the other big difference is that you can move around while using your abilities you don't have to stand around.
@AvHealer Well, not specifically for RP, but we have worked on our RP stories, had a little forum RP in the Republic side guild (Some of us are rolling both factions). Check out "Scions of Odan Urr" for Republic, and "The Korriban Brotherhood" for Empire.
Notice a mistake with Jedi Knight using different lightsabers while fighting the Sith soldier... in 0:30 Jedi has a blue crystal attached at the bottom of his saber hilt. in 0:29 when he is crossing the weapons with a soldier, the crystal is gone. When the Jedi leaps we can see the crystal but it's gone again in 0:33!
@poizta The graphics have been turned down so it can run without lag. Watch the walkthrough of tatooine on the official website if you want to see high end graphics. You will not find any of those on youtube because the quality is lowered when its uploaded to youtube. Best way to check out the graphics is to download them from the official website
Combat looks anything but fluid. It looks like the combat in KOTOR I/II rather than what you'd want to see in a fast paced MMO environment. Looking forward regardless, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
@ZuezMister432 during SW: The Old Republic, you choose YOUR OWN actions and where your own story goes as you do quests. You pick to be merciful or merciless, kind or cruel, all of your own accord weather your a Republic or a Sith.
@YoshiBlewUp It's just a trailer. When you get into the actual game, just standing there won't be so good seeing as when you fight another player, moving around is the best tactic.
@Liquidzer0 You get to be twi-leks and other races. Have you seen the website and list of races? I'm banking on mon calamari being a race too (I hope greatly it will). There are a good amount of races released, but not all of them are out yet. Not to mention there'll most likely be races you can buy to play and that come out with DLC or expansions.
@sedman211 even if that extra 70 gets you access to an exclusive store in the game where you can purchase excluse items including, gear, armor and weapons?
@Finalrellik99 Because it's been around since it's graphics were considered decent and had more time to gather players. Also he said that it would substract from the gaming experience, not ruin it (at least that's what I hope he meant)
@18FireFly81 @YoshiBlewUp except this game isn't turn based rpg, its all done in real time. There is no auto attack in this game. You actually have to hit the button when you want to hit it.
@Gthang213 yes but you'll still have to wait a prescribed period of time before the next attack comes, albeit a real time turn based similar to dragon age and the original kotors
@actruncale i know this may sound ignorant but what is boot camp? I just bought a iMac desktop but i have sony PC. This may help me decide if i should play it on the mac or on my sony pc
So far from what I think the lightsabers need more of that "blur" effect or the trail of light they leave behind them when used in action,should I put it.
@Gthang213 It is basically a way for Mac users to run windows on there machine. I personally would just play it on your Sony PC unless your Mac is newer and has better specs.
@Aggron300 graphics can be a testament to the quality of the game. they also help settings come alive and can do more than just make your eyes feel good. while I agree that they don't matter in many cases (CS, wow etc) ignoring them is just doing yourself a disservice.
When KOTOR 1 came out people were complaining about those graphics, but the game did well anyway because people cared more about the story and versatility and depth of the characters that the graphics really didn't matter. I think the same will be true with Nights of the Old Republic. Those who complain about the graphics are those who really don't understand KOTOR/TOR games.
@NovaInfuse They probably need time to see how many people will by the game, so they can decide if the need more server space and the like. So it's not over crowded and really laggy. Also, they might need to translate for other regions.
@DeathbyIrish It's called stylized graphics, it's meant to be played from the best to the worse computers, thats the point of a MASSIVELY MULTI-PLAYER ONLINE GAME!
@crimson342 It's their own style of graphics. They didn't wanna make it looks realistic because they wanted to be different. Plus this style of graphics allows more computers to play on low settings. I have a laptop somewhere in my house that would play Dragon Age Origins on low graphics with 15 FPS. Old Republic however would probably run 60 on it.
@sLdHavoc for advertisements they turn te graphics down so itl run better. nothing worse if it lagged. the graphics will be better, and yes it depends on your computer. i agree sLdHavoc
@chazly50 umm story wise this IS kotor 3-4-5-6, that's actually come from the developers, and I think you forget that train wreck ending that Kotor 2 had. As well as Bioware wouldn't be able to make a 'Kotor 3' because they aren't allowed to because from memory Obsidian still own them (the company that actually made Kotor 2)
this game is awesome, and i've played a lot of mmo's, this game is just awesome no doubt...epic raids (ops) , great tactics, fantastic lore, i strongly recommend everyone to try it out
@InterstellarGeek Wrong. All of the races have been released--I've seen very recent beta footage of character creation. Bioware dropped the ball on the races, bigtime.
i have alot of questions.... is it first person or third person? when does it come out and is it like wow with the action bars? please answer me if you know thanks :)
@manofmanynamez No its not, its not a full cinematic voice like TOR is. You are given actions as well in tor, the difference is that unlike GW2 and Rift where Dynamic Events take place across the world, YOU ARE THE DYNAMIC EVENT.
@Brady2k10 *PRE-ORDER OFFER EXPIRES WHEN PRODUCT RELEASES. CODE EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, 2012. i just copy/paste that cuz i think you misunderstood something or i did i really dunno cuz it here clearly says december 31st 2012. i think this game wont release for another year not another month dude and if they cancel that date game release date will go in year 2013....
@MrEpicEverything actually thats not the real release date they are just checking up and fixing everything that is the latest date that it will be released they are planning for October release
one thing I hope they do is implement some sort of system that discourages everyone from picking the same class. in wow everyone is a human or BE pally. the percentages are just ridiculous. so maybe they could do something like you get +2% experience for everything you do for the first 25 levels for using a class that is less popular on the server. or something to that effect. sounds crazy, but it would definitely help in wow. just throwing that out there.
@geoffreyromain I can't imagine it would be possible for Bioware to allow everyone that want's to play this to go into beta, seeing as how beta tends to be free and the servers that would be needed for everyone to play it would set them back a small fortune
@ZuezMister432 How can you judge something that hasn't even been released yet? Also, they're going for a different type of graphics. Go watch their first video (I think) they explain what they were going for.
@UtrechetCitizen Its a gameplay mechanic reason more so then a story reason. The classes have to be balanced and mirror each other having the smuggler and bounty hunter being neutral, how interesting as it may seem, is actually terrible for class balance.
I have been waiting for more than 4 years and they don't even release a mac version, and I don't have the money to go to comic con in america (I live in denmark). so ill never get to play it :(
@Commandant02 Okay, whether you think which style is better is different than the graphics themselves. If you were to test both games on full graphics, the Old Republic would need a better system especially with all the modern shading and filtering.
@DanishNinja i said the same thing about WoW when i first saw the pvp videos, this on the other hand does look a bit sticky at times. i would surly want to give this a demo before rushing to the store to get it like i did with Rift, which was a HUGE mistake......
@Finalrellik99 What? I was saying that you wouldn't be able to do a lot of the stuff they've put into the game if the specs were lower. I wasn't saying that high specs definitley made a game better.
@poizta first it's those lol, and secondly for a MMO (yes mmo's aren't up with the latest animations but there's a reason for that) that's not even at the beta stage yet I'd say they're pretty impressive. Beside's isn't content always the defining factor of a game and not whether or not it's shiny and realistic
@Marko039 ah my bad, i thought it was this year.. hmm why would it be 2012 though, i mean the game will be out by thenespecially by december 2012! so why would they say you have within that time limit to use the code, when obviously the game will be out way before that, and they say you cant use the code when the games out, strange..
I've been playing since mid to late 2013, and I have 38 toons. Their will be no other Star Wars game let alone any game like SWTOR, me and my Dad are still in awe on how far this game has come.
Been playing since beta, I have 26 level 60 toons, I lead a guild so large we've needed to break down into 6 guilds to get the character slots we need.
I can confirm, this game is awesome.
So Im assuming your Leader of blood bath and beyond?
this is actually one of the best videos ive seen in terms art, detail, and lighting. Its looking really good, even on the graphics standpoint; doing a really good job for an MMO. Really looking forward to devoting my life to this game.. next to my wife.

Sith Inquisitor looks totally badass. Either playing that, or Sith Warrior.
I have a low end computer, so I think the graphics are great compared to other games I've played, and I have it set pretty low so it runs faster. And you also have to consider what they're working with here. Star Wars is a delicate universe to work with.

The f2p option is a huge step to take in its first year, and I'm sure more is to come.
I got shivers when all the logo's appeared and that epic music was in the background.
More incredible stories will be told within this game than in all of the Star Wars franchises . . .
@Jamaicanskater Amazon.com has the CE available again (a couple people already confirmed that they received the CE key etc. just yet). The $398 prize was from shady resellers.
Going to pre order the collector's edition today. So psyched for this game.
@18FireFly81 No not really your basic attacks you can do immediately after the attack is finished.

i was having my doubts for a little while but by now i can tell this is going to fucking awesome!
Looks awesome!! First bid with the graphics at 100%! incredible shadows bioware!
For those who dont know yet release date is announced thats 31 december 2011
One of the best games ever
@poizta The graphics have been turned down so it can run without lag. Watch the walkthrough of tatooine on the official website if you want to see high end graphics. You will not find any of those on youtube because the quality is lowered when its uploaded to youtube. Best way to check out the graphics is to download them from the official website
@Brady2k10 dude... 12/31/2011 is a place holder date. The game will be out before that.
Combat looks anything but fluid. It looks like the combat in KOTOR I/II rather than what you'd want to see in a fast paced MMO environment. Looking forward regardless, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.
@ZuezMister432 during SW: The Old Republic, you choose YOUR OWN actions and where your own story goes as you do quests. You pick to be merciful or merciless, kind or cruel, all of your own accord weather your a Republic or a Sith.
@YoshiBlewUp It's just a trailer. When you get into the actual game, just standing there won't be so good seeing as when you fight another player, moving around is the best tactic.
@AvHealer The guild I am in on WoW is the most prestigious Alliance RP guild on the server of which I play, and several of us are moving to SWTOR.
@Jamaicanskater you can get CE on Amazon.com the origins place is sold out =S
@Liquidzer0 You get to be twi-leks and other races. Have you seen the website and list of races? I'm banking on mon calamari being a race too (I hope greatly it will). There are a good amount of races released, but not all of them are out yet. Not to mention there'll most likely be races you can buy to play and that come out with DLC or expansions.
@Liquidzer0
You have to read the Star Wars timeline. The red humans are the original sith race and the blue are....hmm. I forgot.
@Brady2k10 it says december 31st 2012 -.- and i don't plan to wait for another year and half
@NovaInfuse why dont you pre order it over origin or amazon uk/us and let it ship to your country?
You can play then on every server you want
@sedman211 even if that extra 70 gets you access to an exclusive store in the game where you can purchase excluse items including, gear, armor and weapons?
This game will be playable on Mac through Boot Camp. One of the Devs says people at the office play it on Boot Camp and it runs well.
@psydroped What do you think sells best; good graphics that only a small percentage actually care about, or graphics that most computers can handle?
Pre-order is out and availble!
Only a matter of time until Early Access and release!
@Finalrellik99 Because it's been around since it's graphics were considered decent and had more time to gather players. Also he said that it would substract from the gaming experience, not ruin it (at least that's what I hope he meant)
Can't wait, already have my collector's edition preordered :)
@18FireFly81 @YoshiBlewUp except this game isn't turn based rpg, its all done in real time. There is no auto attack in this game. You actually have to hit the button when you want to hit it.
@Gthang213 yes but you'll still have to wait a prescribed period of time before the next attack comes, albeit a real time turn based similar to dragon age and the original kotors
@actruncale i know this may sound ignorant but what is boot camp? I just bought a iMac desktop but i have sony PC. This may help me decide if i should play it on the mac or on my sony pc
Does anyone know the name of the music playing from 0:20 to 0:40?
I cant find it in any of the films..
So far from what I think the lightsabers need more of that "blur" effect or the trail of light they leave behind them when used in action,should I put it.
@JaamesHD We can't preorder in Australia, basically, we get it late and we're being fucked over.
@Gthang213 It is basically a way for Mac users to run windows on there machine. I personally would just play it on your Sony PC unless your Mac is newer and has better specs.

@Commandant02 It's an MMO, don't expect it to look like Black Ops or Halo...
They can only include so much detail in a game of this size.
When KOTOR 1 came out people were complaining about those graphics, but the game did well anyway because people cared more about the story and versatility and depth of the characters that the graphics really didn't matter. I think the same will be true with Nights of the Old Republic. Those who complain about the graphics are those who really don't understand KOTOR/TOR games.

@DeathbyIrish It's called stylized graphics, it's meant to be played from the best to the worse computers, thats the point of a MASSIVELY MULTI-PLAYER ONLINE GAME!
@Commandant02 you are talking about WOW right?
@Jamaicanskater Ok they have now changed the prices again they USED to be 398. I will draw my statement.
@crimson342 It's their own style of graphics. They didn't wanna make it looks realistic because they wanted to be different. Plus this style of graphics allows more computers to play on low settings. I have a laptop somewhere in my house that would play Dragon Age Origins on low graphics with 15 FPS. Old Republic however would probably run 60 on it.

As well as Bioware wouldn't be able to make a 'Kotor 3' because they aren't allowed to because from memory Obsidian still own them (the company that actually made Kotor 2)
@sLdHavoc exactly, game content is way more important. graphics r usually not finished until the game is close to release
1:54 did I just see an orbital Strike?
New Favorite character: Imp Agent
this game is awesome, and i've played a lot of mmo's, this game is just awesome no doubt...epic raids (ops) , great tactics, fantastic lore, i strongly recommend everyone to try it out
@InterstellarGeek Wrong. All of the races have been released--I've seen very recent beta footage of character creation. Bioware dropped the ball on the races, bigtime.
You do know guild wars 2 is a fully voiced mmo too, and you are given actions that effect your gameplay/character.
@DrinkingInTheRain they refused to give such detail at the Q&A
is there an emote in the game for what the Spy is doing at 1:20 ?
i have alot of questions.... is it first person or third person? when does it come out and is it like wow with the action bars? please answer me if you know thanks :)
@a619ko wops i know that but the like " kill " sign ? 2 seconds later or something like that
@elekonas
you can still order it from game.co.uk
@manofmanynamez No its not, its not a full cinematic voice like TOR is. You are given actions as well in tor, the difference is that unlike GW2 and Rift where Dynamic Events take place across the world, YOU ARE THE DYNAMIC EVENT.
that was awesome can't wait to play it
@Jagnon123 Nope not yet, all we know is "Holiday 2011"
Can't wait for the game, looks amazing
@MrSoapywater1 projected to be this christmas but pre-order started yesterday
@Marko039
They said it would be out for the holiday season, January at the latest.
@Brady2k10 *PRE-ORDER OFFER EXPIRES WHEN PRODUCT RELEASES.

@platinum108 EA is the producer, not the developer.
@TheAfghanPride786 Yes its an MMORPG and Yes its ONLY PC
@MrEpicEverything actually thats not the real release date they are just checking up and fixing everything that is the latest date that it will be released they are planning for October release
@basselope what how can you say that it looks fantastic...
@elekonas Tell me about it mate... I'm in the same boat... :( I'll travel to Europe in august and pray to preorder it from there somehow...
@ArcadeFox I don't remember rageing? I'm amused and filled with laughter
@UnggoyWarrior Ok they have now changed the prices again they USED to be 398. I will draw my statement.
@jnorm888 The blue ones are called bliggers, but they don't like when you call them that.
@chongo666 I think most of the planets are really big. I can't confirm it though
one thing I hope they do is implement some sort of system that discourages everyone from picking the same class. in wow everyone is a human or BE pally. the percentages are just ridiculous. so maybe they could do something like you get +2% experience for everything you do for the first 25 levels for using a class that is less popular on the server. or something to that effect. sounds crazy, but it would definitely help in wow. just throwing that out there.

@lnclincoln uh, I don't think so. pretty sure they did that to not only cut down on development costs, but also to capitalize on the wow market.
@ZuezMister432 How can you judge something that hasn't even been released yet? Also, they're going for a different type of graphics. Go watch their first video (I think) they explain what they were going for.
@ZuezMister432 This is an mmo, not a console game.
@Finalrellik99 If they made the specs any lower it would subtract from the playing experience.
@UtrechetCitizen Its a gameplay mechanic reason more so then a story reason. The classes have to be balanced and mirror each other having the smuggler and bounty hunter being neutral, how interesting as it may seem, is actually terrible for class balance.
@thesawisthebest Its not an emote...its a cloak move that smugglers/agents can use.
english accent on Sith Warrior makes me want to play it even more.
Anyone know the name of the theme in the beginning?
good thing this is confirmed for this year.
I have been waiting for more than 4 years and they don't even release a mac version, and I don't have the money to go to comic con in america (I live in denmark).
so ill never get to play it :(
Pre-ordering the highest and most expensive version of this game right now.
@Commandant02 Okay, whether you think which style is better is different than the graphics themselves. If you were to test both games on full graphics, the Old Republic would need a better system especially with all the modern shading and filtering.
@DanishNinja i said the same thing about WoW when i first saw the pvp videos, this on the other hand does look a bit sticky at times. i would surly want to give this a demo before rushing to the store to get it like i did with Rift, which was a HUGE mistake......

What is the music at 1:36?
Masterxl MVs Two Steps From Hell 1000 ships of the underworld
@poizta first it's those lol, and secondly for a MMO (yes mmo's aren't up with the latest animations but there's a reason for that) that's not even at the beta stage yet I'd say they're pretty impressive. Beside's isn't content always the defining factor of a game and not whether or not it's shiny and realistic
FOR THE REPUBLIC! Troopers lead the way in this war
@NeoGrnYoshi
No problem dude. It's a fookin epic track!
@Marko039 ah my bad, i thought it was this year.. hmm why would it be 2012 though, i mean the game will be out by thenespecially by december 2012! so why would they say you have within that time limit to use the code, when obviously the game will be out way before that, and they say you cant use the code when the games out, strange..
i so see the smugler hookin up with that bounty hunter lol
