whatever the developer of TOR says. The videos indicate something else.
TOR is Modern SW during the fall of Republic set in KoToR. The developer even says retarded comments about the various classes. When you think Smuggler you think Han-Solo, same with jedi's, bounty hunters, soldiers and so on. As such everything in ToR is just SW 1-6 wrapped and destroying the awesome Golden Age era.
Secondly the developer and videos show that "this is a balanced team" which consisted of tank(Storm Trooper... I mean soldier, dps(Jedi), controller(smuggler) and healer(Consular). When the combat started it pretty much played out like WoW. yay?!?
The best part going for ToR. Is that supposedly Bioware famous dialog writing will be in it and will give us some more control over the outcomes of the adventures. And that other players can interject their own dialog choices.
So far however what I've seen is that ToR is the WoW experience in space. Some of the best parts that SW could do are being done very shallow manner.
I'm more looking forward to Guild Wars 2, Fallout MMO and Vampire Online than ToR. Which is a shame because I love Bioware and I love SW, but I feel Lucas Arts has too much directive control over the project. I think what rubs me the wrong way about the ToR community is that most of them are Bioware gamers and don't play MMO at all. ToR will be their first. However many MMO gamers that also play Bioware games have commented that it looks(as in play) like WoW. They are often flamed for being anti Bioware. It's a shame. Veterans are being ignored by the ignorant.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
