E3: Hands On Impressions 
by Dover
, posted July 8th, 2010 at 1:20 AM
A few weeks ago the Darth Hater team descended on E3 with a ravenous desire to learn about Star Wars: The Old Republic. With so many hands on deck, we were able to gather large quantities of data for the TOR fan community, and we shared much of this information in our articles, a group podcast, and even a packed live Q&A. The best part of this entire experience is that, after all of our coverage, there is still more to share.

E3: Class Ability Fact Sheet 
by Misenus
, posted June 16th, 2010 at 2:56 AM
Here at Darth Hater, we are known for our painfully thorough dissections of the nuts and bolts that make up Star Wars: The Old Republic. During our hands on time this Tuesday, we furiously scrambled to record as many facts as possible. Our own personal impressions will be coming shortly, but first we wanted to make sure the theorycrafters could get some real facts to sink their teeth into. Here are some of the key facts we discovered with our hands on time with the Imperial Agent, Trooper, Smuggler, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, and Bounty Hunter.

Dissection of Threat of Peace 
by bjbrains
, posted February 17th, 2010 at 12:00 AM
A few months ago we got a not-so-subtle tip from Rob Chestney that the Threat of Peace webcomic is an important asset for internet detectives following Star Wars: The Old Republic. For us here at Darth Hater, we see it as a relatively untapped well of gameplay and story information, possibly rivaling the Holonet. To this end we thought it might be a good idea to look at some of the more unusual or interesting clues that may be hidden in the art and story of the comic. Hit the jump for a fresh look at the Threat of Peace.

Imperial Agent Demo Walkthrough 
by Dover
, posted November 14th, 2009 at 4:40 AM
Darth Hater was recently invited out to LucasArts' home base in San Francisco to get a look at the newest class in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Imperial Agent. During our time at the studio we got to ask Jake Neri a few questions and we also saw a live demo focusing on some of the combat abilities utilized by this Sith sniper. Throughout the event we hastily scribbled notes, attempting to get a real understanding of how the Imperial Agent works, and we came away with some interesting discoveries.

Secret (Imperial) Agent Man 
by fsanch
, posted November 8th, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Literally a week after fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic received big news with the Jedi Knight reveal, we got another exciting news-bit with the announcement of the Imperial Agent. I do have to say, after some voiced concerns that the updates for the game were not "ramping up", two class announcements in as many weeks goes a long way to counteract such feelings. The number of classes revealed for The Old Republic is now at six, with two more still waiting in the wings. For now, let's focus a bit on our newest class for TOR.

Fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic were given a treat today with the announcement that the Imperial Agent will be a playable class.

In addition to the reveal, we were also treated to four screenshots, giving us not only a look at the upcoming class, but also the graphics as a whole. So hit the jump, and let's take a closer look.

Imperial Agent Revealed at European Press Event 
by Dover
, posted November 6th, 2009 at 11:07 AM
Exciting news this morning for fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Imperial Agent class was revealed at a European press event, and is currently popping up in Google alerts across the internet. We first noticed news from Now Gamer about the reveal. Shortly after, Sean Dahlberg made the official announcement on the TOR forums.

And the next class reveal is:

For those of you who may have attended or read reviews from the Electronic Arts European Press Tour that happened earlier this week, you already know the answer to this. Its the Imperial Agent

The Imperial Agent is heavily inspired by several classic Star Wars characters such as Zam Wessel and Grand Moff Tarkin. Imperial Agents work behind the scenes to get the work of the Empire done. Specializing in high-tech gear, the Imperial Agent always has the right tools at the right time. They use abilities of subversion and subterfuge to infiltrate and assassinate enemies of the Sith Empire with deadly efficiency. Players who choose to be Imperial Agents in The Old Republic (TOR) will see the underbelly of the Empire in a whole new light.

Stay tuned for the Imperial Agents HoloNet update next week. In the meanwhile, join the speculation on the Imperial Agents class forums

Lots of links flying around on the forums today, showing the same style "errors" that have resulted in proven releases before. Forum users have also discovered multiple images that all appear to point in one direction. Could we see the Jedi Knight being the next class revealed to us?
