Dissected: Demo Walkthrough Video 
by sado
, posted August 20th, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Our Dissection of the Walkthrough Video is now online. As we did in our last dissection we will be adding and editing new content in so make sure to keep checking out this post for more content in the future. Be warned - there are quite a number of images contained in this post and will kill low bandwidth users. Note: Things mentioned in our prior dissection we do not mention in this one. There is also the thread on the forum if you would like to comment there. Zoidberg, Sleeper, and I worked on the images together this time to try to get the pictures up as quick as possible ;).
 



























Updated and added to reflect current information revealed in the new demo video.

You can see a human male dressed in the same outfit as the Twi'lek in the Deceived trailer, starting from 06.32, on the left side of the road.
Imperial agent/spy class? I think so

Thanks so much for this!

In all the Dialogue Wheel pictures, I see 3 dots under each party member's portrait, with room for a fourth unfilled dot. I wonder what these are?

I think the red doorways you are assuming are flashpoints are actually "no entrance" barriers. Notice on the video of the ship, the pods the NPCs are jumping out of have the same red forcefield looking thing.

I'm thinking the blue-green ones are ones you can run through, the red ones are things you can't run through. Probably flagged to class or whatever. Since there was no loading as they ran into the blue-green area, I'm guessing that it is not a Flashpoint/instance, but just a flagged barrier.

Hi, thanks for the screenshots.

I'd just like to point out that on screenshot 6 with the loot, where it says "Purple cloth", it's actually a pistol with a scope. I think it's faded purple because it's something that class can't use.

My opinion anyway ;)

Ill change it when I get a chance, noticed it too when looking over the image.

When we were talking about what it was I mentioned that, but I wasnt making the edits to that picture so it is cloth for now.

Well done again!
You might want to add in the clarification to the cover system that the icon you see above the target only indicates that you get defensive points against the targets showing this icon (description right now implies that you get defensive points in general).

Added a new image (27) which explains how far ahead you can be in terms of level to get XP from an enemy. I discovered through watching the video that you had to be within 6 levels of the enemy in order to get any experience from the enemy. Any higher than 6 levels and you get none.

Added 26 to explain what happens when people go AFK in your group.
Comment by Xanamiar made on 8/22/09 2:45:33 PM
The icon to the left of the one that says unknown is more than likely a heal, thus the reason there is a number on it. Thus the icon that is unknown is more than likely something usable, thus why it has a number over it. But that's just a guess :)
Comment by Murtaugh made on 8/22/09 11:22:25 AM
Just a guess, but the unknown item in image 6 looks like a detonator of some sort.

Hey, the flamethrower bar, isn't a cast timer.. it's a length timer. Tells you how much longer you can use it. Evidenced by the choke timer seen in the video, when it falls to nothing, the Sith lets go. So, when the timer hits nothing, the flames stop being thrown.

Just a minor correction :)

Technically it's a channel but ;).

Either way I changed it and the debuff marker in the post.

No more "shake and bake." Now it is "Magic Man" and "El Diablo." And I call "El Diablo"

Ha. Too bad you and Zoidberg weren't there to help with the last one.

At least I was able to identify the green Nikto.
