Balmorra, The Forge - The Music of STAR WARS: The Old Republic

[123mr123mv]

This song is awsome :-)

[gamingfreak48]

SPOILER WARNING!

Really it depends on wich story your doing, Trooper and Counciler Story is awesome. The Counciler Story follows that of the resistance and the hell they had to live under from a Darth and the Trooper is following your most troublesome companion yet and his wake of destruction.

[SundiMundi]

This song is literally the best thing about Balmorra. Couldn't wait to shuttle out of there.

[TenchuXmusic]

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but there's some slight melodic similarities between the start of this song and the main score to the Star Trek film from 2009. Anyone else notice this, or am I hearing things? :P

[Trarloe]

@TenchuXmusic Yeah I noticed that too

[Amwat0Tason]

I used to think text-box quests were fine. Then swtor hit me in the knee.

[setzer3333]

In November of 1984, shortly before Gorbachev came to power, a Typhoon-class Soviet sub surfaced just south of the Grand banks. It then sank in deep water apparently suffering a radiation problem. Unconfirmed reports indicated some of the crew were rescued.

But according to repeated statements by both Republic and Imperial governments, nothing of what you are about to see...

ever happened...

[JimWarp93]

I think that the Balmorra theme is simply the most atmospheric in SWTOR (for Imps and Reps both - yes there are differences): Explore the final dungeon (?) as a Rep and get the full dose (this track from 5:00), gives me goosebumps every time...

[TIR4NO]

Simply one of the best songs i've ever heard

[ThugaRhymes]

are these links safe to click on to download? because i don't ever click on those stupid short form links because it can lead to anywhere.

[Amwat0Tason]

@ThugaRhymes They're fine links. They work just fine. You'll be glad you did.

[Morty361]

This sounds like the theme of a russian planet in the star wars universe.

[TheFatMob]

Two filthy rebel scum didn't approve thisvideo.

[DSrkoLEGENDKILLER]

My favourite theme so far is the Cademimu music :)

[Wolveria]

Probably my favorite music piece in TOR so far.

[jiggasosa]

When I first heard this, first thing that came to my mind was it was very familiar to the new Star Trek theme somehow.

[KarlTanczos]

@jiggasosa Agreed, I felt the same way when I heard it... Probably why I like it so much :) Loved that film.

[akira0238]

Wow. Really good piece.. So far my favorite from TOR. Kind of a "Verdi meets Howard Shore" thing. I dig it.

[SwimsWithTheFishes1]

I played this 23 times and every single time I got the chills.

[captaintemplar15]

anyone else get shivers at the start?

[etherboy12]

How do we have like 6 different cantina tracks on the Collector's Soundtrack but this song doesn't make the cut?! WTF Bioware!

[Wolveria]

@etherboy12 Really? I was actually excited once I heard this song, thinking it would be on the CE Soundtrack... I'm very disappointed to find out it's not.

[tfwarlord]

I LOOOOOVE this one :)

Sith Forever :)

[XLetalis]

1 person didnt find his datacrons

[Caoshunter23]

when your first get off your star ship on Balmorra and that song starts playing its awsome

[eramires]

I think this is the best of all the musics so far. Its very strong and involving.

[GodschildJCE]

this is my official badass sith theme >=)

[apollondelphinios]

@GodschildJCE this theme is strictly Republic dude. there is nothing "badass" in this. it states the corruption and the decadence of the Republic after the treaty of Coruscant, and how "sparks of hope" shine anyways throght our defeat.

[GodschildJCE]

@apollondelphinios WOAH!calm down there expert..

[InsideTheVoid]

@apollondelphinios lol you are a retard.

[apollondelphinios]

@InsideTheVoid and you are mad :)

[Khalirei]

@apollondelphinios They only play this song on the sith side of balmorra, not on the republic side.

[apollondelphinios]

@Khalirei i played three characters in balmorra, republic side. it definitely plays in the republic side. trollz gonna troll

[Khalirei]

@apollondelphinios I don't remember it playing once on the republic side, and if you really played three characters up to balmorra on the republic side, then you really need to get some sun instead of worrying about when this song plays. Because Balmorra for the republic is a totally different world map than what the sith get, not to mention Balmorra is the first planet you go to after Dromund Kaas. Balmorra for the republic is after nar shaddaa.

[Eleglas]

@Khalirei Infact it's further than that, after Alderaan.

[Mrdudepigeon]

My pre-release started Tuesday. And in that time I have probably play more then 20 some hours. I didn't even do that with Skyrim.

[costarea]

Now the only epic things are queues to servers. Over 1-2 hour

[Davmoran1]

@costarea Mine are 15 minutes.

[Qaroc]

I give this game 1½ year untill it goes f2p

[Morty361]

@Qaroc Never

[DeadSanto123]

@Qaroc Have you even played this game?

[GameRelatedStuff]

I heard starwars had a stiff gameplay anyone interesting in giving their own opinion about the feeling of the movements of the characters ???

[Jinawee]

Average Brown Wookie is my favorite cantina track so far.

[Knvkl]

This is my favourite swtor track so far

[BeholdTheBlind]

@Knvkl Can't beat the average brown wookie.

[sno86]

sounds like they are singing paaaaaaaypaaaaaaaaaaal

[itsBryjak]

This song is beast

[PmTwister]

Start "Balmorra, The Forge" then start "The Occupation of Balmorra"..have around 1 sec between the 2 vids (about the time you change the window to the other one and click start) for something quite epic i must say..

[Orrator900]

@PmTwister WOW that's a good combo! :D

[legolego31]

@PmTwister i did this and it sounds so epic!

[TheDefinedGamer]

@PmTwister what fucking nice find :O

[MultiAwesome123]

@PmTwister Wow that is awesome. Thanks.

[GorimPL]

[ventragag]

[Vaslayak]

[MrAlinush43]

[TheWomacker]

@MrAlinush43 Someone is going to get ripped to shreds by Balmorran Independents

[TheSupreme676]

[HK1000mk1]

@GreyChihiro 7 for me! and im only 17! thats almost half my life! UGH! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

[WorriedMitchell]

1 day? People are being accepted 7 days early?

[T3HG1Z]

@WorriedMitchell BioWare announced a week ago they would be starting the early access 7 days early rather than the 5 they promised when pre-orders went live. Guess they want more time ease the numbers on the servers.

[jcantrell08]

@CaptainBrownie How I know the feeling... the music gets me pumped. I'm in the Troop deploy shuttle bound for ord mantel, oiling my blaster rifle already...

[MicksterZone]

I would have preordered in July... but then i took an arrow to the knee and Australia did too, so i couldnt order until August :'(

[Brady2k10]

they are sending out emails from 7am est time in gmt or britain thats 12.00

[DysexlicGamer]

[thetennman31]

Oh Ya! Waiting for the Download to complete the install. Only thing I am waiting for is the date to change to 13. The Republic will fall.

[Jjackson5970]

@thetennman31 you had a typo man.. let me help ya. the EMPIRE will fall!

[Raptor8762]

This is crap compared to what Nobuo Uematsu can create.

[Elessar0wind]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! (excitement, please ignore)

Has anyone gotten an email yet, or these email's going to be sent tomorrow. Just wondering...

[Jjackson5970]

@Elessar0wind E-Mails start tomorrow morning at 7am Eastern Time.. 4am Pacific Time.. now saying that.. that doesnt mean that you will get in on that first day.. everyone who preordered will be on by the 15th (should be atleast).. they are going to inv according to the days in which people preordered their games.

[Elessar0wind]

@Jjackson5970 Yeah, I know. Thanks! You calmed the confusion in my mind due to excitement.

[samsmith92samsmith]

@Jjackson5970 So the Europeans that get in will get their emails about 11am GMT?

[Jjackson5970]

[NerfFrostMages]

@PredalienMaul On the 13th :)



[Wrrohm]

11 hours and 8 minutes. Counting every single minute of the day.

[kregerfilms]

I'm thinking perhaps this song was written with "Enterprising Young Men" in mind...from the Star Trek OST...

[Vaclyn]

@kregerfilms was thinking the same thing.

[Doomlord52]

Been waiting for this track since the beta - its AMAZING.

Been waiting for this game since October 2008. I CANT WAIT.

[Atreadis]

At last... the 13th is here..

[elitotaku]

[Evoshun]

@Eleglas well yeah but what then? 15 dollars a month after that. kinda insane money for someone not yet out of highschool

[MagnusWyvern]

I hope your game is awesome Bioware. I owe you for hours of amazing games, from Baldurs Gate, to Mass Effect. I'll stick it out through the rough times, and try and contribute to the community as best I can, but...

My only fear is you were Mythics overseers for Warhammer Online, a game I was certain would be amazing since I love PVP/RVR , but which completely failed.

I'm here for you if you're here for me.

[samsmith92samsmith]

@Jjackson5970 One day for some of us, most people won't get in on the first day. 

[thetennman31]

@Jjackson5970 You do not have what it takes to go against the Empire. You are strong child, but I will break you!

[Brady2k10]

@Jjackson5970 you do realise not everyone is getting in on the 13th right?? you have a good chance if you pre ordered on the day they started doing pre orders, but if you didnt, well you might be waiting a few more days, i got mine in october so im expecting it to be around 17th for me, better you think that way so your not dissapointed if you dont get in today

[Jjackson5970]

@Brady2k10 you do realize that i ordered mine in July right?

[Brady2k10]

@Jjackson5970 alright no need to get bitchy

[Jjackson5970]

@Brady2k10 the day you had the ability to preorder.

[Markterrycameron]

@Jjackson5970 i peroder augest 2nd hopeing for 13 too

[T3HG1Z]

@Jjackson5970 The day you pre-ordered doesn't determine how early you get in. The day you entered your pre-order code on the site does.

[doubleu1992]

@T3HG1Z and if there is a deference you fail hard who would enter it weeks after they bought it

[T3HG1Z]

@doubleu1992 Some people didn't realize the pre-order code was on the email receipt. It was further down in the email and wasn't bold or anything. I know a friend of mine didn't apply his code until a week afterwards because he hadn't noticed.

[XxUndeadXTacoXx]

@T3HG1Z I did the same thing I didnt notice the code was on the reciept til October

[Brady2k10]

@Jjackson5970 but if you do get in have fun

[Dragosmart]

@Jjackson5970 Now the day has come... and you didn't get early access!!!! And neither did I, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[runeplate123]

FOR THE SITH!!! SHALL STRIKE DOWN THE REPUBLIC!!!!

[47trea]

one of my favorites, that mando one was amazing also

[HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Balmorra is by far my favorite planet - and song.

[vanwetstra]

favorite they have put on youtube so far

[lilSnubby]

Psyched!

[InsideTheVoid]

5:02 is absolutely amazing! It really gives a feel for the game!

[InsideTheVoid]

This is the perfect music piece for under a day remaining for early access!

[HK1000mk1]

@InsideTheVoid i cant agree with you more :), this one makes me feel like a very epic, long and dangerous journey is about to begin

[mouseno4]

Noice!

[seronic]

tadaahhhh! Tdahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! _o(()0o. Release the game before I lose my mind x.x

[zach22zach22]

my guild got placed on the Shadowlands server! gonna rock socks!

[Drathgore]

I heard this song in beta towards the end of my play, it has been stuck in my head and actually inspires me to play imperial.

[lemontlegendz]

the SITH SHALL RISE!!!



[Jinawee]

When do we find out our early release play date?

[mopheadzac]

@Jinawee theyll email you

[Jinawee]

@mopheadzac Yeah, but do they wait until the day you're able to play?

[Levon777614]

@Jinawee Yes, on the day you get invited to join early access they will send you an email letting you know that TOR is available for you to play.

[Miknorway]

LET THE WAR BEGIN! FOR THE HO-..... REPUBLIC!

[eligos6]

Mmmmm.

[elocke2424]

This is the best song releases so far. This and followed by the first day mandalore barricade or whatever it was called, awesome stuff. The cantina songs are utterly horrid though.

[Levon777614]

@elocke2424 haha the Cantina songs are Fun. it's like old school Jaz, I love it :D

[xipheonj]

@elocke2424 I wouldn't go so far as to call them horrid, but I very much agree. Have this song playing on repeat all day today to pump me for tomorrow's early access.

[leonsio2]

this is too good

[Teraskas]

I was blown away when I heard this track for the 1st time on Balmorra.

Still, amazes me every time. :D

[Natramed]

.... Wow. This is truly epic.

I loved this song when I first arrived on Blamorra in Beta. It's just great!

For me, music always was an important element of Star Wars (thanks to Master John Williams ;) ) and I'm so glad to see the songs of SWTOR be definately worth the title "Musich of Star W
