I'm likin the concept behind the smuggler, still gona be a jedi knight but smuggler is definately well thought out, my props to BioWare and LucasArts =)

i think this guy would make a better han solo

i mean girl

The Smugglers stopped the Mandalorian Blockade which the Jedi Could not Defeat. Thats why theyre the Good Guys.

Also. Sith dont negotiate with Smugglers. They Say. Do this or we kill you

Smugglers believe the world much Safer for them without the Sith.

Bounty Hunters however, they Kill for Coin. And they dont negotiate.. If a Certain price is on your head they will go after you. No need to negotiate about it

Bounty Hunter says: You want this guys Head for 100K credits?? Sith says: Yea

Bounty Hunter says: Deal

I dont understand why the smuggler is for the republic. Smuggling is illegal, you'd think they would be the bad guys.

Read the timeline lore thingy and you know why :)

If you read the devloper blog he talks about that. It's because the pay stinks, the hours sucks, and the guys you'd work for are creeps.

I really like the way they did the cover system and the npcs actually cover to making it really realistic. Good stuff.

Well, atm it looks like WoW tbh. I hope they going to use same engine as eve-online. And I hope it will all happen on 1 server like in EVE and not on 1xxxxx realms like in WoW.

I really like the way they did the cover system and the npcs actually cover to making it really realistic. Good stuff.

Smuggler = Rogue if i'm right. Then cover is like stealth and flashbang = Blind. But how its gonna work in close-combat? u kick him and thats all? they should have stuff like a knife hidden somewhere or sumthing.

Who's firing the shot?

i think it is ovisous

the other guy shot

I think its not the smuggler coz it runs lower than the blaster

OH MY GOD! I just heard about this and I can't come up with a word to describe how I am feeling. I want this the second it's released, and probably a new processor haha.

I cant wait to kill me some sith @@ .....

They rely on having cover...whereas other classses don't. Say a Jedi ran up to a smuggler, i really dont think less health will be necissary. They have next to no armour and not alot of firepower. So its not as if they are over powered in any way whatsoever. They just have different advantages.

The voice over documentry 'the voice of the old republic' at about 3mins 40. It shows the siloutte of the player on different objects that are available to hide behind. At this point of development they will not be changing this play style, as it seems crucial to the smuggler class. Also Bioware has stated that it isn't going to release any information until they are 100% certain that it will appear in the game and works well. Therefore will definatly be ingame :D

which video is it in

@ Gologotha's comment:
It has been confirmed there is a cover system, you can see how it works on the VO video documentry. You may think it would give a smuggler an unfair advantage, but this will also come with many disadvantages too. I think Bioware have spent alot of time making each class balanced as they are also putting alot of time into the pvp part of the game.
@ scbrown comment:
I think Bioware hinted that they were looking into different types pf servers, e.g. pvp, pve and rp. This will mean that if you dont want to run the risk of being killed whilst questing...then a pve server would be the one to go for.

nice picture, does anyone know when this game is going to be released?

only joking the game is perfect.

amazing!! but the girs is too lean ^^

The game looks amazing!! but im concerned about how the game will play.

Vicious

epic

yay ^.^

good pic cant wait

Sweeeeeeeeet!

smugglers are good but I would rather use the force any day.

I love the way how u do it, really. The characters, clothes, weapons, areas etc look well.

baddass

nice picture

Hey this is TikkiMik just saying that if i had to choose between a bounty hunter and a smuggler it would definitely be a smuggler , Lucas Arts have really out done themselves with this wikedly awesome chracter

nice background , that's all

Will bounty hunters, for instance, be able to wield lightsabers? will jedis be able to use blasters??

yeah well thats great and all but idk if i can wait =(

why doesn't the smuggler come out of hiding and use rapid shot?

I am asking myself how the smugglers can take place on a mmo !

what do you mean? a smuggler played a huge role in and after the original trilogy, why can't they be part of this MMO's story?

Excelent: realistic cover and combat! I hope that the Jedi Sentinels and Sith assassins will be able to use this system.
I really appreciate the worn out and dirty feel to her jumpsuit, it gives the impression that she has actually been wearing it for a while, and has been through a lot!
I hope I don't sound too nerdy when I say this, but I can't help it... Hottie..Hottie...
That seperatist looks sort of like the Iridorian Warrior on Manaan in Kotor 1. At least the armor does, at any rate. (Note, it's IridoRian, not IridoNian, like Bao-dur).
From all the footage I've yet seen, I haven't encountered color coding, that is, one faction not being one specific color scheme. I hope this remains like that for the actual game.
May the Force be with us all.

I think the movement of the smuggler is awesome!

Yeah so why is it that only the Smuggler capable to take cover? So I can go 'Oh I'm a trooper/bounty hunter, quantum physics prevent me from taking cover so I'll stand out here and get shot at.'

this class looks pretty cool, i wanted to be a Jedi but I'm not sure now hah!

of course i'll be a sith first but im definatly going to have to check out these smugglers for my second character. They look great.

the smuggler are good, but a kaleesh Bounty Hunter is better ^^

And the Trooper is best (((d[-_-]b))) ^^

please make the final animations actually hold on to their blaster so they dont just look like the have an open palm with a gun sticking to it lol

is she using the wall for cover , is it just stance ?
