im thinking this would be a very bad place for a lvl 1 to venture too. looks good tho, very excited about the game.

I don't get the whole idea of creating a guild based on being only one class. I mean c'mon, you are limiting your guild from the get go. And even though I'm probably going to be a trooper(infantry man real life) I'm gonna wait to join a guild based on thier performance. Nor will a join a guild like the one below, wanting only bh's or the one farther down that needs a couple jedi for their council. The guild I'll be in, will be the one that leadership is chosen for their ability to lead....

any merc who wants to be in my clan can its for darkside only go clan mandalore send me a friend request and your in only 10 people max

They work for the sith the Separatists is another word for rebels like sith can be called the Empire

Put a platnum TV to the left, th seats to the right, games systems go beside it, hmm i'll make it my home if i decide to play trooper, but im thinking i b smugler.

Can anyone tell me what they mean by "Separatists" in the caption below the picture? I thought the Separatists didn't exist until the Palpatine era.

Ord mantell is in civil war, so the seperatists are the ones against the current goverment which is allied with the republic. Read the holocrons boys, this game is all about story.

forgot to type something, I guess they mean the Sith are the separatists

I guess they mean Separatists, or they have a surprise...? i really don't know

Hey River Spirit, The Republic Troopers aren't clones for another dozen-ish decades...just thought I'd let ya know what/who you'll be fighting next to. ;)

OK???????

Im planing on being a trooper for the republic and fight on the Jedi side and take down that sorry sith lord scared to enter battles but waits untill his enemy is weakin ........ WE TROOPERS STAND TOGETHER AS 1 UNIT AND LEAVE NO MAN (clone) BEHIND

i am here brother...we will fight together and destroy all who dare challenge the republic and its allies! they will not underestimate the power of the highly trained, ready to kill troopers!...and our jedi friends of course...lol

um,you wont be much against my evil sith forces.hahahahahaha!!!

Haha looks Awsome "Repbulic Ftw!"

you seem to easy to defeat in a battle,maby you can act a little more mature,ecspeacially when you reply to my messages/notes.

They didn't have clones 3,500 years ago....but they sure as hell have the same armor.

On an unrelated note: Now to our traffic copter over the streets...."Thanks Diana, things look pretty clear today, as you can see. There seems to be one or two speeders and that's it, let's see how things heat up after work hours."

i cant wait to make the merge from SWG to SWTOR

ha, this game is going to be great.
probably the best online game ever

ya sith you will really tear it down with gurds every were
that are high lvls and you'll be killed 5 seconds

Sounds like a change where can i sign up for this invasion

Epic
Yah that's all I got ooo wait I'd like to invade this place

I'm going to rip this place a new one!

i agree with hanif, lol see you there

What base, I see no base- Sith general

Cant wait to raid this place xD-me xD

I'll may not have time to spend here unless there's a sith attack

2 bad in the game the sith will tear it down in 2 seconds

Well, I agree in the sence that "whats with the wires dude" as wouldn't it be better running that underground? {Unless you have some sort of tremors worms that enjoy eating electric cords.}

Also I agree with the dude that said "whats with the speed bike" as unless the thing is real vintage i doubt that they would have the same model for 3000 years, unless it was something real special....and even then.

Last, am I the only one that noticed the 3 yellow chevrons on the ground here, as no one seems to have picked up on that, now from prior experience from the old games, that would make this a swoop bike circuit.

This is just concept art of the base. So, I dont think the artist was thinking about taking time to put accurate vehicle types in the setting. Unless it was a major part of the setting.

Reminds me of Feng Zhu's concept style a little. he likes to put hanging wires etc, for a sense of dissorder.

Anyway, I like how it looks. Could have a few changes, but the atmosphere looks great.

If thats supposed to be some kind of runway or hanger, I dont know why they would have wires hanging over it.

i can't wait !!!!! need this game :p

Umm theres one thing that bothers me here. That speeder the one with the red stripes...isnt that in the original star wars. I mean there arent going to have the *exact* same speeder for 3000 years

yea u right but its just a concept

So true

Wonder how big this planet will be. Hopefully not too big or too small

it will probably have the two main bases(sith and the republic) and then a neutral zone like a town with a catina so not to big or to small.

Looks like there will be some cool player vehicles too

One can almost smell the desparation in the construction. Beautiful! The wires and vehicles really give this locale that little something extra that sets it apart from other MMOs. The lighting is excellent, and I am still hoping that the light emmisions from our weapons will affect our solor schemes and surroundings. It got kind of tiring when in the Kotors one would ignite one's lightsaber in a dark area and not have the place get any brighter. What I see here has a lot of potential.
May the Force be with us all.

so do we get to be pirates then and steel sh%$# from the environment to smuggle across space and sell somewhere else?

There HAS to be a third neutral faction in this game. EVERY Star Wars story from the movies to the Thrawn trilogy to the Kevin Anderson books and on and on has had a third faction.

The bounty hunter being sith only concerns me. Kind of defeats the purpose of being a bounty hunter in the star wars universe (which is loyalty to no one)

IF sith is the only faction that will accept bounty hunters because of the nature of bounty hunter dealings then that would be fine as long as I have choice.

I understand that this is Bioware's story. They just have to understand that people have a pretty sophisticated outlook on star wars lore and if they change too much or manipulate the story in certain ways, this game looses part of its star wars identity.

If I remember correctly, they did say that you would start with either faction but your decisions would determine the outcome of your story. So you would start as a Bounty Hunter working for the Sith, and your decisions would determine whether or not you were still loyal or you would walk your own path. I think the third faction is there, its just more of a personal decision to be neutral. Of course I could be wrong...

I really want to explore Ord Mantell! It looks awesome. ^_^

Curses!! Double post! Sorry.

I really want to explore Ord Mantell! It looks awesome. ^_^

can't wait to try this game

Looks really cool. Can't wait to try this game out :)

Again, this looks like the street my parents love on. It certainly doesn't -look- like a military base.

lol, your parents live on a street with nothing but worn metal on the ground and warehouses all around? With big what look to be ion cannons in the back and a landspeeder in the street? If so I'd like to know where it is cuz I'm def moving there asap. lol =P

cool... and i think they have all the wires becuase its most likely a new base and they didnt get technology that they need for proper wiring =) or some raiders/pirates stole the cargo that was supposed to get rid of it

I like most of the stuff in the screenshot, but like I mention in another comment, those streetlamps bug me.

They look too much like Earth streetlamps, I think they could use a bit more totally frivolous Star Wars tech to them :)

It will be interesting to see how the MMO factor will fit into the towns, cities, star ports, and over all design. I really like the art style and how it is turning out. But what is the interaction like between the player, a vehicle or vehicles, and the world?

Nice but it really looks like it's deserted.
