@ZeFallenWaffle listen i couldnt find your coment replying to me but maybe you should look again 11/21/11 a month ago during the beta november it is now december
I have been watching videos of this game. At a higher level is there ever a point where all the players on both sides could actually meet other than pvp. It doesnt seem like there are alot of other player encounters like most MMOs that have two opposing factions.
I love the companion system. The first MMO I ever played was Guild Wars and they use heroes, which are similar and the game is still vastly successful as a multiplayer.
I loved this game, I love how players are wanting to do things together in game. I kind of disagree with you about the Companions. With no dungeon finder and all the group quest, you're going to be making alot of friends. I don't mind saying "LFG BLACK TALON" because once were in there me and these strangers and having a blast and feel like friends. While dungeon finder is "hi lets get this done" cause you won't see them again.
You were saying that you'll continue in this story line. Can you please tell us when? I don't want to miss it. :) Thanks a lot. Your videos are really good, Hengest.
The whole point of the game was give fan a good amazing Singleplayer experience with the possibility of playing with other people IF you want. plus the group play also gives more XP and better gear than if you play singleplayer and that is what Bioware hope will be the incentive to invite other people in group.
Me though, I love singleplayer games, so I for one am glad you can play from lvl1 to lvl 50 alone..
Companions help but real players are stronger and most are better to have on your team, plus if you only have 1 or 2 friends to play a flashpoint with then the extra slots will be filled with you party's companions.
Eliminating the trouble that I have had in other MMO's where everyone has done the group stuff already and don't feel like running it again. This might also work for the Operations.
But companions are a useful and welcome resource in SWTOR that doesn't detract from group play.
@Alvorez1 maybe he is like me, and just prefers to loot one at a time ;)
They are like Kinder Surprises: You open it up, knowing it's some worthless junk, but opening it not knowing exactly what's inside still was fun for me when i was little, now i do it with mobs instead :P
I just have to say that it's really nice to hear someone like you talk about this game.. Most people who do commentaries for this game seem to have no clue about anything, but you have done your research and you are a fan of star wars and KOTOR, that makes this video so much better.
I love this guy, your voice your humor, i am getting man boners. Although i am scared our relationship is based on a game and that is the only thing that keeps me coming back :*) buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa /cry
it is really cool that you dont have to seel or throw away any blasters you pick up. That may decrease your income, but atleast you dont have to give your old loot to your companion.
@IvanTheHealer That is true. I see nowhere in my post denying this. I merely said they would be able to take player ''spots''. Not that they would work as players, such as you describe. Your post is pretty irrelevant towards my answer to Gamersagent. Nice to see some more healers here ;)
And each character has a heal, though with a different name and animations.
Like the bounty hunter tests his Jetpack and Flamethrower, Sith inquisitor just walks around impatiently like Darth Maul in Ep.1. Smuggler throws a coin in the air and shoots it with his blaster, The Imperial Agent chills on his computer, The Jedi Consular just meditates while standing, etc..
By the way Hengest, at around 5:30 you talk about Companions replacing players, but that's really now how it works. In a party, you have a maximum of 4 players (The ideal is to have 1 of each class etc), and companions can only be summoned if there is one or several spots left in the group.
In solo play they are really useful, but will never wipe out the need of playing with others. Simply because quests become harder and harder the more you progress.
I like how "side quests" are essential to your leveling. You are not dying but you are struggling minutely because you are only doing the storyline. PS: Great video :)
How do you get the beta key? please tell me? :D even tho i am too late i want to know if i did it right :) all you have to do is sign up for a beta key on their website and then register an account and you are all done. now i just have to wait for a invitation, right? please reply.
@yousuckisucki You either had to sign up for beta testing before the 11th, or get a key from a third party website and register it before the 19th(yesterday).

a vord of advice: in future playthroughs, do non-story quests as well, so you can get more exp and reach lvl 10 in starting planet
this isn't like WoW where you can kill a group of mobs that are 2 lvls above you with ease
here if a group of mobs that are 2 lvls above you attack you and you don't have a companion, you're as good as dead
