I agree this update is better then the last few, like when they think we will get excited about new avatars and smiles. I do think Bioware should be prohibited from uploading any video less then 2 minutes since 30 seconds of every 1 minute video is is their logos. However, I particularly like the artwork, the colors, the sharpness in general including the spot on conversations. The running looks better than the Sith in my thread lol.

The beta is using older builds, that is why things don't look that good! They use testers feedback to make changes in the next builds.

Heh, I hadn't expected the James Bond-like approach for the Imperial Agent, will be intriguing to see how this works out in the Class Quest storylines.

 

I got the feeling that the IA ship is smaller than the other ships? Didn't see interior pictures yet though.

  I see a sniper in TOR future. Cool class. 

   Screenshots look great with dynamic lighting, high quality shadows, endless viewdistance... I don't get why people are harping on it at all actually.

 The ship did look a little smaller, but the interiors are still good size from the pictures.

What I like is the fact that each class does look to be a completely different experience. Very different game play for each will make the game feel more unique IMO. It will also be interesting to see these classes in PvP. Once we start to see higher level characters with more than 3 skills. It could become very tactical. Ofc it will be limited, but still there.

Still waiting for BH. I like the fact that people like these other classes, at least everyone won't go BH because it seems cool. BH was my class from begining, to end in SWG, though I played other classes, BH was always my main, even over my Jedi.

 I was surprised myself about the two polls on the main forums. I thought that the majority of players would go Sith or Jedi. But it is really even, that includes the AC choice. We should see a nice mix of classes at launch. Usually there are way more DPS than anything else. But the polls say different at this point. But on the other hand, all classes have a DPS tree, so we could still see much more DPS.

I will say that so far the Agent has by far the coolest looking ship in the game, IMHO. Still waitng for BH ship though.

     I was a commando in SWG.  It was the Jedi before Jedis and was more fun than Jedi for me.  If there is a commando type "good" class that would be a cool character for me to play.  Maybe I'll get to chase you around with a flamethrower again like in the old days.

lol, BH gets a little close range flame thrower, but I bet Troopers will be a freakin canon. I'm sure there will be plenty of times I will get lit up when I'm least expecting it from range.

Wanna make a Chiss Sith, I hope that's possible.

Personally, I would much prefer half a page of factual information about a game feature than these mini-videos.
