Star Wars: The Old Republic - Official Thread

The game is playable. We have a server up and running, we can play the game at home."

Ooooo - don't be suprised if this baby comes out Q4 2009.

Having a game "playable" and being "near complete" is two very different things, especially a game like this that is bragging about so much content. Playable means maybe they've completed half of one city, got the code working for a few mobs that they've plopped down, and have the basics of movement and combat going for one style of combat. I'm thinking, if we're lucky, Q3 of 2010, though their it seems like they have a massive amount of people working on it, so it could be sooner. They still have a LOT of information to release on the game, and they seem to be doing it in small increments, so until we know all of the playable classes and the different planets and how PvP is going to work - all the scraps they throw at you to keep you happy while you wait - I wouldn't be looking to see a release date in the near future.

On the Collective thread someone from old days of Illuminati asked about Replic folks willing to be their alters in a 'graphic novel'.

On a related note, we're working on a graphic novel of sorts, definitely looking for some real republic guilds to be featured as our enemies rather than continuing to make up fictional "bad guys".

FA, collective, you guys interested? For ol' times story sake

I'm up for it!

Replied. Thanks for pointing it out. It'll be fun to be interacting with some of the same people.

Has anyone heard when they're telling people if they're into Beta Testing?

[Tbone]

Beta signups haven't even started yet. The signup that they currently have is for "very limited play testing" of specific functions of the game. They made it very clear that it is NOT a Beta test.

In other words, sometime late next year I would guess :-P

So.. as a general question.. if you are going Jedi.. and lightsaber blade color is players choice.. what color will you make your blade?
I personally want to make it black(ish) like using black diamond kinda.. give it a dark purple black glow to it..
I like KOTOR's blade making method.. combining three stones each one changing either the color or the features of the blade. (ie a pearl made it stronger against armor)


Sorry.. didnt feel like I should make my own thread for this so I am posting it here..

[Subb]

I believe a black lightsaber is canonically incorrect since Black is the absence of all light and color, and Lightsabers emit light... would be nice though. I'm gonna go for blue - traditional and shows that I wanna go down the Guardian path.

[Fuse]

Perhaps a blacklight, and we can all fight in tie-dyed t shirts and listen to Bob Marley.

I'm thinking of changing up my color choice for this game. If not, it'll be the expected green.

Ooo, in that case. Does anyone know when the "very limited play testing" begins? :p
