Sith Inquisitor Records

Inquisitors, the dark geniuses of the Empire, are masters of treachery and dark Force power. Feared as much on the battlefield as they are by prisoners and political enemies, they will stop at nothing to earn themselves more power. The paths to power are many, though. Is your Inquisitor an Assassin, striking down enemies from the shadows with cunning tactics and a skilled blade? Or are you a Sorcerer, a triumph of the dark side, smoldering with ambition and uncovering dark secrets of the Force to destroy your enemies?

It would make sense that assassin would, (since it is the Darth Maul build [double blade]) and Sorcerer would not (since it is the Darth Sidious build [one blade]). However, I also do not think it would necessarily be overpowered if Sorcerers had double bladed light sabers. As usual, it always ultimately comes down to gear, level, and how you spec. your character.

Well we really don't know that stats of any saber. Who's to say a single lightsaber can't do as much damage as a double-bladed or 2 lightsabers? with a level requirement for each lightsaber, the superiority of any type of saber is diminished. Also, it hasn't been confirmed that Advanced classes are restricted to the use of one type of lightsaber yet. For all we know, they could just be putting the different types of lightsabers on the AC's in the videos to give us a preview of what they look like in action. Not to get your hopes down, but I doubt they're just doing it for show -point is, we don't really know anything 100% yet.

dont think so, else the sorcerer would be overpowered if he had both

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 21:59

pretty sure the double bladed lightsaber is in the shared class tree so you can have both

Dare I say it, if SWTOR isn't able to compete with the Juggernaut that is WoW, who will?

Looking back at all other MMO's, I can't think of any that had reputable developers. Mythic Entertainment, Cryptic Studios, Trion Worlds, Jagex, Funcom, NCsoft -How many of these names did you recognize before they released an MMO? Really the only MMO's I'm aware of that had popular developers are based off comic books (Dc & Marvel), even then, they hadn't nearly enough experience in creating games with immersive and reputable RPG's.

Of course I won't forget to mention that Lucas Arts also produced an MMO, but they did that on their own. SWTOR is a dual project between two of the most successful game designers I know.

Even the budgets of the other developers is small compared to the costs BW and LucasArts have put into their game.
Rift -$50 Million
Warhammer -$50 Million
Age of Conan -$40 Million
SWTOR -*estimated $80 Million
World of Warcarft -$100 Million

I'm not betting money that SWTOR will trump the number of subscribers WoW has, but if any MMO is going to be worthy of challenging WoWs success wouldn't it be this?

Don't forget sw fans. Those guys can prity much support the game fine. Add some guys that spend their time *****ing their pants by day dreaming about an awesome SCI-FI mmo, than i am pretty much sure BW and lucas will get their moneys worth.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 23:25

Oh I'm pretty sure they'll make all that back in their first year. If WoW has 11 Million subscribers, then it wouldn't be too foolish to assume SWTOR would get at least 1 Million. And if they stick with the stereotypical $15 a month, they'll make back $80 Million easy with that many players.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 22:34

WoW sux so im sure this game will have no problem crapping all over it

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 22:31

To break even with just the production costs, assuming 80 million, they'd need just under 540,000 subscriptions solid in the first month. Not including obvious money it takes to power servers/etc.

I think they can do that and thensome.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 21:54

Crush is a bit of an overstatement. I doubt SWTOR will generate half the money WoW did in it's first year. My hopes are that it becomes as equally as popular as WoW. If the public can start saying SWTOR and WoW are the two biggest MMO's out there, well that's good enough for me.

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 19:03

My god, Inquisitor was my first choice years ago when the game was announced, but now my even more set, Sorcerer is a must for me. I grew up loving Palpatine, not Vader the traitor (emo tin can *****). Ever since 83 when Return of the Jedi came out loved the class, the lightning....the beautiful lightning!!!

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 22:35

i grew up loving Palpatine too but never met any1 that shared the same love :p

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:27

HOLD ON EVERYONE!!!!!!! BioWare just announced that the release for tor is going to be for the second half of 2011! What does that mean exactly?!?

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 21:37

Well if it's gonna be normal year, instead of a game timeline, the it's should come out it June hopefully?

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 19:30

I agree with that, and also if they release it in the summer people will be much happier, although the promise of Spring wasn't kept but still it's summer which is only a 2 month delay, than December which will be another six months.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 18:21

I guess it will be in August because they will make loads of profit from people playing it over the summer. That's my guess anyway.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:54

I'm still sticking with December release.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:38

Ok yeah, hopefull early August, I wanna play this game for a whole month straight at least when it first comes out =D

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:36

it means august to december.

mind you EA doesnt generally publish 2 games at the same time, and november they are publishing battle field 3. i say expect the game late august to september maybe october and the latest if a delay december.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:28

does it mean anytime in Fall and Winter ? Cuz like I thought since there are 4 seasons in a year, 'half' meant Fall and Winter. So that definatley means it can be anytime during between June and December of this year then right?! Just double checking, can't blame a guy who's been waiting for 5 years! :D

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:13

Sorcerer definitely. I wished this game came out already!!!!

 
Thu, 05/19/2011 - 10:54

dead skunk ROFL!!!!

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 22:47

yeah but i hate the dead skunk on ur head tho

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 16:27

for those who wanna play guild wars2 ive seen the visuals of the game and it looks like crap one of those lag fest games that realy blow the first one cant even come close to wow or this game so please those who complain bout it go play guild wars less people like yall we gotta play this game with

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 16:56

Thank you, and yes it lags too much. The Old Republic is the best: best graphics, best combat, best story, best everything! Guild Wars 2 is NOTHING compared to this game, so all of you GW2 fannies can go and play the game so you can leave us at peace, while we enjoy the best game ever!

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 15:46

the Sorcerer sounds like BAMF, and that fury-class interceptor ain't a bad ride either. can't wait to ghostride that whip

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 15:32

This is awesome but i was kinda hoping that the sorcerer would be the one with a duel bladed light saber.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 20:13

Well it makes sense considering Darth Maul played the role of an Assassin in Episode I, and the Sorcerer class is supposed to revolve around characters like Palpatine.

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 15:30

Um just saying it might be mass effect 3 they talk about. but i REALY HOPE IT'S TOR.

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 09:00

OMG ENJOY!!!!!!!!
READ THIS! Lead Writer Daniel Erickson announeced to Gamespot.com that the game WILL DEFINATLEY come out this year! No more, no less! Even the VP's of both BioWare and LucasArts are saying it is true, and they said at and interview at PAX that they are putting the finishing touches to the game!
As for the time it comes out this year, who knows, but a poll taken from Yahoo! clearly states that the two best times for MMO's to be released are during early Summer and Christmas Season! Now in some website (forgive me but I cant remember, maybe IGN I think) Dallas *****enson clearly and specifically stated that at E3, BioWare and LucasArts are going to make a very special announcement at E3 this year that fans are going to love! Who knows what, but it's gonna be great they said, so let's just hope it's good!!! E3 is going to be from June 7-9 just so everyone knows. Location: LA Obviously lol. Alright so there ya go! Hang in there fellas! If I can be patient this long without exploding, I'm sure everyone else can too ;D

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 23:11

so what will u guys do if all they talk about is mass effect? hehe

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 17:21

Poor Dallas... his last name gets filtered.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 16:53

Come on BioWare, let the war begin so we can end it quickly! This game is gonna ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 16:01

I know! I can't wait for this game! It looks so epic!

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 15:48

this is awesome news bud, i hope it's what we've all been waiting for

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 09:43

Thank you for that information :) Let's brace ourselves for being blown away by the revelations at E3 this year!

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 05:52

cant wait to play this class looks very nice tho with the move ea just pulled then we likely not gonna see this game until 2012 jan witch sucks big

its stated her in this link: in the bottom

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 06:10

But, they promised 2011?

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 02:15

so after making my way to a game stop i found out the game was not going to be released until a 1/20/12
but times can change

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 06:25

I work at a Gamestop that date means nothing its just a placeholder

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 03:26

the dates gamestop has are not 100% they are based off of the time window given for release and then pushed forward a bit. The time window given for swtor is between july and the end of december of this year, that's why its listed at a few weeks past the window. Also mostly so gamestop doesnt get burned when time frames arent reached. :D

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 01:52

considering i pre ordered swtor 2 weeks ago in EB games i have a good feeling its going to be released very soon

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 07:31

Dude, I hope you are right

Wed, 05/18/2011 - 00:06

so...release date after all the other class updates?

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 05:21

Lol yeah good point actually :/

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 01:18

Seriously, at E3, if they do not announce a release date, winter 2012 is looking pretty realistic.

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 00:32

Not gonna happen, but the worst that can happen is December :/

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 00:12

Lol -How excited will you be when you hear it releases 2012? Muahahhaaha >:D

 
Wed, 05/18/2011 - 00:09

Let's hope sooner :)

Tue, 05/17/2011 - 21:35
