Doesnt the lack of classes worry you though? Im sure they will add one or two more once they have finished making this new race but I still kinda expected a few more class types. Or have I missed something?

I'm sure there will be more classes, also probably more races. Its still very early days, but the game looks extremely promising...

no realms tho means no inbalances!! :clap:

seems they learned the lessons of other rpgs and wont give stealth to hunters thanks god :)

Nice, I hadnt seen this. I only tend to read stratics, which is a bit poo as they just mirror the official website.

Indeed the horde vs the Alliance.

So Tauron & Orcs vs Humans, Dwarves and Night Elves.

Thankfully a lot of the classes are the same though, so there cant be whine. But I already forsee comparisons between the mage and the shaman being made (as only the horde has access to the shaman, and onlt the alliance has access to the mage).

I'm going to be a Tauran something, as I think they look cool.


Probably a Tauran warlock or maybe a warrior.

Somehow I don't think a Tauren riding a pony will look right.

first off: the graphics in swg and wow is so different that they can't really be compared. sure i can pull out alot of screenshots where wow doesn't show it's best gfx side and i can do the same with swg. difference is however, i have seen swg in action and therefore i say 'it's the best looking mmorpg i have ever seen both graphic and animation wise'. a screenshot doesn't really show that much about how a game is really gonna look, perform and feel.

they look diffrent yes, but you can still tell what gfx will animate better, whats clearer and shaper, WoW beats its gfx, think of how many other games that are around with diffrent gfx but u can still see which is better.

i've seen screenies of stuff like c-3po in swg that i cant actually tell are from the game at first glance. if someone flashed them at me i'd think they're from the films, only on closer inspection can u see its a game (and only because of the background).

the in game movies i've seen of it are insane aswell, i've never seen graphics as good as these yet. WoW looks aweful imo, so cartoony. looks like... dungeon keeper 1

im in the beta nar nar ner ner

:p

having said that, it is bloody amazing.
Although I would love to tell you all (NDA :( ) I cant, but just trust me, it is better than the screenies, and the AI, mission system, trading, crafting stuff are absolutly stunning.
Although there are some bugs, there number goes down each patch.
- AMAZING

how do you know?

Having read the thread now:
WoW and SWG are totally different. The animations are without a doubt better than DAoC Xarr knows what im talking about (shooting over shoulders etc)
Yes WoW looks nice, but then so does SWG.
Having seen screenies and the viedo's of both and played SWG.
SWG is good atm, its in beta, there _are_ plenty of bugs, but if all these bugs are fixed by release, it will be a record breaking game.

To the people arguing about release dates.
The Dev's have said that beta testers will be first to know the release. They have the final say. the "release dates" from EB or GAME or Amazon are made up, using some info they were given at E3 but that info was given out by Lucas arts marketing... who having no say in the release date.

Ok what happens is this.
they email you etc, you sign NDA and send them a dxiag.
then you put in adress and stuff.
The game CD's you pay a small ammount for them to be replicated around 3 pounds in total ($6 iirc) Then you pay shipping, which for UK people adds on the pounds its around $33 or £20 ISH which means they send you 2 CD keys and 1 set of CD's in the post.

They Email you one CD key and the beta site has the option to download the acctual game (1.7 gig took me 8 hours ish on cable ;) ) Then you can get started as soon as you get the game.
Then a week or so later your CD's turn up with a new CD key and you can give them to friend (who also has to sign the NDA) or something :D

I think thats all I can say without breaking the NDA, but trust me, he charachter creation options are stunning ( you name it, you can change it) and the game just took my breath away when I first played it.

The one thing i've noticed about SWG is that there is no "Cookie Cutter" spec lines. There are so damn many and the game has been designed so as you can spec into whatever the hell you want and come out laughing as long as you stay true.
SWG is going to be damn fun to play. But the one thing I can't stand is going to be all of the "uberlukeyboy" players who want to be the players from the films. -_-
1 Character per server doesn't sound very optimal to me because you don't get to test out enough... But I suppose it won't be so bad aslong as you know where your friends are going/ have gone.

Make sure you all say what server you're going on... :)
You don't have to stay on the same side so unlike DAoC you can switch and join other people every so often. However, fear the Jedi, for when I have one you will all pay. ;)
