*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****

Thank you both for the updates. It looks like they are putting a lot of work into TOR, and we still have months to wait on release.
 
Interesting yet predictable that Blizzard are releasing patch 4.3 "this year".
No doubt they'll be saving that up for release around the same time as ToR.

I played Bounty Hunter to level 14, while it was pretty good fun it was nothing compared to it's "mirror" class, Trooper.

The worst thing about it for me was the miss rate/reduced damage when using dual pistols.
Shooting Vine Cats on Drommund Kaas only to miss 3 times out of 5 does not feel very heroic!

I liked the trooper so much very good chance I may swap that as my main ..you can run & gun with him its great!

I did see that, haven’t they just released 4.2 what is 4.3 now? Is it a massive patch?

Whatever patch it is I don’t think it will have any impact on TOR.
 
- The next patch will include "major raid and dungeon content", we can most likely expect a raid and a 5-man from Patch 4.3
- Patch 4.3 will be the "largest content update since Cataclysm"
- It will be released later this year, which means that we can probably expect a PTR soon.

From MMO Champion.

I disagree Vuvu, A few of my mates are interested in ToR but will not be able to tear themselves away from WoW if a new patch comes out. It's not hard to see why Bioware are keeping the release date a secret until the last minute.
 
New patches don't really excite me, and I play WoW every day. SW:TOR release day will be a big event for me; a new patch for WoW will be "oh, new patch, neat" on the day it's released. There's only so many times they can increase the numbers on items before you stop considering it a big thing, and excluding all these new numbers, there's rarely ever that much in even the bigger patches. One or two dungeons really isn't a lot when you consider the size of the game - the longevity is only in the difficulty of the content (ie repeatedly trying to beat certain bosses).

Then again I'm not a hardcore raider who considers the aim of the game to be to "get through the content". I haven't even done most of the original Cataclysm raid bosses yet, and I don't feel I've had an inferior experience of the game to someone whose guild is farming Ragnaros heroic.

Even if WoW released an expansion that added an amount of new content equal to every single thing they've released thus far, I wouldn't be as excited for it as I am for SW:TOR (or GW2). A completely new gameworld to explore that isn't generic fantasy or low-budget production is a rarity these days, even with the massive number of new MMOs released each year, and I genuinely do believe that these two games will provide us with the most immersive MMO worlds since Azeroth.
 
I think that when sw.tor comes out for that first month, almost every MMO will be very very quiet ..then we will see after that ..but pretty sure sw.tor is gonna pull in huge numbers for the first month.
 
Ah, but he's not completely bald. Shave that side fluff off and he turns into :
