SWTOR: New Smuggler Secrets
Filed under: MMORPG News | No Comments »
I must admit Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of my must-buy MMOs for the future. Not long ago I was a bit disappointed with what Bioware was showing to the public, but slowly as new data comes out, I have a feeling about this game that is growing strong: success.
It’s well known that a key part for almost every Star Wars MMO should be how it manages the Jedi class. In my oppinion, how it manages smuggler class could be even more important, cause let’s face it, Han Solo was a smuggler and he is probably the best character in the Star Wars franchise. In a universe marked by the eternal fight between good and evil, a concept so common in practically every game, the rogue touch is critical if you want to attract all kind of players to the game. Is not as easy as to give players a choice between light and shadow, cause many of them like to stay apart, to look from a prudent distance, to take advantage of neutrality. How’s neutrality possible if you have to choose between Alliance and Empire? Is the Star Wars universe represented as just a poor duality in SWTOR? Smugglers are clearly the rogue class in this MMO, but just for the skills, not for their natural role.
Anyway, every screenshot, video, trailer, teaser, etc. looks so good that makes me want to see SWTOR launch right tomorrow. If this MMO is to be a standart but so shiny and polished game, I’m sure is going to be a huge success. Bioware has always made very good games, I truly think they deserve our trust. I just hope Star Wars finally gets the MMORPG it deserves.
Looking at this new video you’ll see some pretty amazing actions smugglers can do. You can taste the flavor of this class for Star Wars: The Old Republic in it. Enjoy.
