I know there's gonna be alot of people showing up for this just cause its star wars but that dosent change the fact the gameplay looks like complete shit.Maybe instead of making a shitty MMO set in this old republic time they should have just made a real good old republic game for 1/5 the cost
Still waiting on that beta.
I'm looking forward to this, but the more and more I hear kinda dissapoints me. So far the main thing i'm interested in is the way it's handling the story. Since you get a little more meat when it comes to accepting quests and finishing quests story wise.

The beta killed this game for me. The smuggler and the imperial agent are mirrors of eachother like the bounty hunter and trooper. Gameplay is kinda cool but it really is not much different from combining Kotor 1 & 2 and putting WoW elements on it because duh its an MMO and duh it cant have real time pausing because of that. If you are a Star Wars fan you may be able to overlook this (my roommate is going to) but if you are looking for something truly entertaining I'd try Guild Wars 2 or Tera. I played Guild Wars 2 and the combat really was much more dynamic than I thought it would be. But hey to each their own.
The game looks so ridiculously bad, it's not even funny. Well, kinda happy about it, so I don't have to check it out.
I was excited about this when I first heard about it, but the more and more I see the less I want anything to do with it.
Bioware also feels the need to shoehorn in romance subplots in every fucking game they touch. Worst RPG developer in the business.

glad to see I'm not the only one who saw this and though the gameplay looked totally sluggish and Three Stooges-like at some points. Like, wow I can geek out fairly bad over star wars, but I'm not a fucking gullible jackass. This looks like shit.
I don't care if it's derivative; combine Borderlands, and an updated Jedi Outcast/Academy and you'll be golden, get some good writers as I know Bioware has and it'd be done and dusted, seriously.
What's your damage, fuckers? You're not George Lucas, I don't see why you seem determined to ruin a great (albeit gay/nerdy as shit) universe.

I laughed at the Indiana Jones inspired showdown between the Smugler and the Jedi. I also laughed at how the Jedi didn't deflect the blaster fire with his lightsaber. Perhaps the Force is not strong with that one...
Edit: I meant Sith, not Jedi. And would it kill these soldiers to try and use any of the obvious cover that is all around them? (pun intended) I mean just standing out in the open firing shots at each other really breaks what little immersion the game might have had.
Things people have said about the beta have me worried, but I'll wait until my first month is up to reserve judgement.
The only thing I'm legitimately worried about is lack of end-game content, as they've already said they don't plan on supporting raids/instances with more than 5 players - say goodbye to the majority of your userbase after they hit the level cap.

This is the only class that has me interested. Of course it will almost certainly just end up being like every other MMO so I'm not too optimistic. They better offer a decent trial period otherwise I won't bite.
@Godwhacker Are you living in 2004 or something?
MMOs pretty much always tend to be a few levels below your standard fare, so they can be played on as many low end systems as possible. That's standard for pretty much every MMO that's been successful.
The fact that people still don't get that, despite games like WoW and CoH being successful for nearly a decade, makes me weep for my demographic at times.

I'm going to play this game. However their carefully orchestrated videos haven't impressed me all that much yet. It looks so scripted, the movement and animations don't look as fluid as other MMOs which I will not name.
I enjoyed the Han Solo moment with the doors opening up on all the troopers too. Other than that, it did look kind of funny. I'm not planning on jumping in anyway and would prefer to wait for a free trial to give it a go.
Dynamic combat, that's what I meant to say. It doesn't look dynamic or fluid like other MMOs. It looks heavily scripted and klunky.
I like WoW. There, I said it. This looks like its going to play a lot like WoW, be set in Star Wars(and not just any Star Wars, its KOTOR, the best Star Wars setting ever), have a lot of the singleplayer RPG stuff I love, and has a large enough company to back up the funding for it so it doesnt fall flat on its face.
No, its not very new or innovative but... I find myself liking that fact. Innovation is great and all but so is refinement. I still fully intend to check out GW2 because it looks fucking AWESOME(and Ill always have a place in my heart for Guild Wars), and it has no monthly fee so I can play both the old and busted, and the new hotness.

@Magnalon,
Everybody commenting about the beta doesn't actually have a clue what's going on, since the beta build they were playing on has now already been taken down and is obsolete.
