if there was to be a jedi consular class then the first jedi class announced would be guardian as those are the two main branches of jedi devotion.

“Dear PC Games readers,

the cover story of our upcoming edition – Star Wars: The Old Republic – is under embargo from the side of Bioware and Lucas Arts, so we can’t deliver the issues as usual in this weekend. You will find the latest issue in the coming Monday in your mailbox – we hope for your understanding.”

Deidare, I agree. It’d be like making a Trooper that uses Rifles, and a Trooper that uses Pistols. The differences are simply too small to matter and wouldn’t create distinct enough storylines for them.

A second force user would still probably carry a light saber. However would be more powerful with the use of the force and less effective with his or her’s saber.

LOL, they won’t say anything. If they did, they wouldn’t be invited back to Lucas Arts or BW anytime soon.

It sounds like the focus here is on what Bioware can and cannot do. It seems a bit silly to say things like “all four ‘force classes’ would all be roughly the same” in regards to mechanics, when in actual fact we know virtually nothing on the combat scheme BW has in mind. Hence we really have no idea what they are capable of doing, and not doing. By all means be skeptical, but you’ll only look like a fool if you use ultimatums with such a lack of information. In the end Bioware will likely come out with a “we thought about that issue and figured out a solution.”

@Chasted: I have to completely agree. While the fact that two force based classes is still out there, it seems very unlikely that it would happen. And hell, I wouldn’t want it to happen. “What would leave the second force user class for his story to be unique, more teen angst?” that’s perfect right there. There’s really no way you could get another force user for both Republic and Empire (well you could, but then we would have “iconic” issues between the classes. One would seem more Iconic than the other, blah blah) Also it would be complicated to make two more force classes, because there mechanics would be the same as the ones before.

And I agree the mechanics between all four “force classes” would al roughly be the same. I mean a force based sith, or a force based Jedi? Now I think that would make players feel less Iconic if they couldn’t both pwn with a lightsaber and with the force. Making the average gamer choose like that would create a lot of confusion and mess. And with two force classes on both sides, that mess more force options and less players going to the other classes. Leaving BW and LA to tweak mostly the force classes only, because not as many people will play the other classes. Ending up in at least 2 or even 4 OP force classes. And the poor other 4 classes that would get neglected.

who has the highest dps for the empire?

By: Boza

Boza — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:46:15 +0000

It’s also been confirmed that the Trooper is the highest ranged dps class for the Republic, it would seem confusing to have a Jedi caster class not be the dominant ranged class & possibly be restricted to cloth or light armor while the Trooper gets heavy armor & highest dps.

Although, 4 force users have never really made that much sense to me in the first place I suppose…

I’d say that magazine wouldn’t be invited on the next LucasArts’ event. %)
