Developer Dispatch: The Republic Trooper

From massive blaster rifles to state-of-the-art armor, creating the Republic Trooper took hard work and dedication from The Old Republic team. In the latest Developer Dispatch, we recount the making of this heroic defender of the Republic; from design to story, concept, and animation.

any republic trooper will have the honor of falling to my blade when the game starts

I have played swg for a while now, and i play a medic, a bh, and a Mando, and this seems to be a mixture of like the bh and mando in that and im liking it, nicely done.

Super Trooper, good name for a guild. Imagine RPing in that guild.

IMO: Troopers should have a quest that allows you the option to detail ur armor paint. Like the clone wars. Aside from that I'm sure Jedi will be cool but will deend on troopers for alot of things. Vice versa.

Take a look at my original profile at the cool world ROBLOX

i have always been a melee or caster type person but this trooper is straight out of a special ops unit it looks like. just run in there and just start blasting. lucasarts are doing such a great job with these characters.

Sun, 10/18/2009 - 23:32

they need to make dev dispatches for all the classes so we can get more info on all the classes!

 
Sun, 10/04/2009 - 18:03

Right back at ya Limblu!

Sun, 10/04/2009 - 01:58

The armor is what really won me over, because without you might as well be a Smuggler.

 
Mon, 10/05/2009 - 01:07

Hey, don't underestimate smugglers either. They may not survive as many hits, but they won't get hit as an alternative.

Sat, 10/03/2009 - 21:37

I'm trooper all the way, he looks mad! Gonna get me some mother of a gun and mow down Sith, then lol at them when they QQ on the forums :D

 
Sat, 10/17/2009 - 12:24

Bah, your arms will be sliced before you get the chance.. ;)

 
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 22:33

No way man you should be bounty hunter he's got the wicked gadgets and he is bound to NO regulations!!!!!!!!! :D:D

Fri, 10/02/2009 - 04:06

nice they supposed to be a tank class?

Fri, 10/02/2009 - 02:16

Did he really say funnest? That is so not a word.

 
Fri, 10/16/2009 - 18:11

I know! i was so bothered by that xD

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 11:58

ima a long time WoW fan but this is gong to blow WoW away and all of its new expansion packs =P

 
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 17:02

Let's refrain from calling it a WoW killer. That tends to be a stigma, and hopefully, game devs aren't using that as a goal, and focusing more on providing the key elements that gamers need aswell as what the game needs to be enjoyable and long-lasting fun. If it becomes the new 500lbs Gorilla.... that's just icing on the cake. =)

Thu, 10/01/2009 - 07:29

kamas and pauldrons are a must for the customization of this class. and changing the markings and color of markings or else all the troopers are going to look alike and less people are going to play as them. i mean id want my trooper to look like a commando from the clone wars with his own distinctive color and markings. if that doesnt happen im going with jedi like the other 40 percent of the players lol

Wed, 09/30/2009 - 20:57

LOL this game is gonna be sweet. I can already see it: people yelling out "For the Jedi/Republic" or "For the Sith/Empire" or something similar to that like in World of Warcraft rofl. "For the Alliance", "For the Horde" =)

 
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 17:03

I agree. I'd love to see dyeable parts for armor sets. Not too many games add this in, and it does absolute wonders for customization and picking yourself out of a crowd.

Wed, 09/30/2009 - 13:34

Very cool!

I look forward to playing as a trooper!

Sun, 09/27/2009 - 02:32

i think that sith will have a mandlorian class to match the trooper, hope he plays like canderous from Kotor

 
Mon, 10/05/2009 - 01:58

Sith are getting Bounty Hunter i belive

 
Mon, 09/28/2009 - 16:19

i dont think that will be, it wont make sense with all the other playble races, there will probably just be a sith commando class to match it, and then i guess the last class will be a spy like class like a Imperial Intelligence class

Tue, 09/22/2009 - 06:33

the way they walk is already great.
this game is going to ROCK!!!!!

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 00:42

i was thinking in Kotor the mandalorian trooper was the most feared trooper but with this new republic class i think that could change. id love to see the mandalorian troopers and republic troopers fight it out in this game

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 20:27

I thought it woulld have been more interesting if a person could start with an original non jedi class and then upgrade much like in the first Kotor. I suppose that would give a very poor learning curve for new players however... It just seems that when given the oppurtunity to swing a lightsaber around and do all kinds of crazy feats no one would really want to be a blaster toting infantry man.

 
Tue, 09/22/2009 - 23:23

I want to be a blaster toting infantry man.Oh and a Sith lord lol

Sat, 09/19/2009 - 19:29

troopers are awesome

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 10:55

Cool looking armor, heavy weapons experts , combat experience, Jedi as good partners , no fear. Hell maybe i'll start as a Trooper.

Tue, 09/15/2009 - 19:18

i hope that when the game launches we will be emersed in a varity of battles. i hear the trooper kicks butt, and i'm ready to kill some sith and jedi.

Tue, 09/15/2009 - 15:29

I like troopers

Tue, 09/01/2009 - 16:14

heh the only class that would make me play on the "good side" heh, love troopers & heavy firepower, but I guess I'll go with my dear Bounty Hunter, no offense tho, have nice dreams & hope I'll see ya lot in the game at launch ^_^

Sun, 08/30/2009 - 23:15

I think that this could be an awsome class i just would like to know if this game is going to have pvp for all the classes how are they going to make a simple trooper be able to stand against a sith

 
Mon, 10/26/2009 - 00:09

Bounty Hunters will destroy! although the trooper does look pretty impressive.
I guess when i face one of you troopers ill have to pull out all the shots.
Anyway i hope the customisations good ie-Race, Face, Armour and all of that stuff. See you guys in game

 
Mon, 08/31/2009 - 03:28

These are not simple troopers, as the devs and the story tells, after the sacking of Coruscant by the sith, all the jedi were blamed and they went to tython. So there was no one to defend the republic, then they started training eleite commanders and troopers, not like just go out and die troopers, but probable ones like Rex from The Clone Wars Series

Sun, 08/30/2009 - 08:43

This makes the Trooper look more appealing o:

 
Wed, 09/09/2009 - 20:53

I agree, the sith are not above being shot. how many jedi fell to the blaster fire during all the wars, now then compare sith to jedi.... sith will still be shot and killed. only a fool will look down on such thing.

Sat, 08/29/2009 - 23:53

COOL I AM GOING TO BE A JEDI BECAUSE I THINK ITS COOL
