First Footage Of The Old Republic's Trooper In Action

I'm sorry if anyone has already seen this but I didn't see this when I was watching the PAX stuff, so I thought I might as well post it.

Trooper looks like a powerhouse btw

Woo! That's definitely the class I'm going to play.

a trooper and a jedi seem like a combination for victory :)

Yay for the trooper! is it just me or did that short trooper video somehow feel better than the other class vids?

It was a nice video. I don't know if I am missing something but does it seem like he wasn't having to click on targets? RPG's seem that little bit more tedious when you have to manually click every target before you can damage it, he seemed to be changing targets just by turning though. (this could also prove difficult unless a 'lock target' feature is included)

not sure what this is from but I remember a game with tab targeting starting with the closest enemy. Or maybe it just targeted them after they shot him.

I hope for several characters on one account as well Arashi. I can't imagine how I would be able to stick to just one character, go through the story and then delete it and start up a new one with another class. I probably will wanna do the same as I did in KotOR; playing till you get all the story that exists and go really deep into your class.

I read about that NPC dying and lying in a non-realistic position. Even though I didn't notice it myself (probably because of the blur in the video), I really feel I would like "normal" deaths. Both for NPC:s and PC:s. Like if you had just killed an NPC that had played a major part of your storyarc, with voice and everything, and now it lies with half of it's body stuck in a wall, or possibly still standing up when you're going to loot it.

Multiple character slots are a must-have for TOR, I couldn't imagine why they wouldn't have them in this story-driven MMO. As for the body effect, does anyone remember with the first developer video there were a couple rumors going on about there being a ragdoll effect?

The video is too blurry for me to see properly, but could it have been in any way related to that? Or was it REALLY, REALLY unrealistic (like World Of Warcraft for example..)? Also like Beadle said, I reckon it'd be a good idea to have 'Tab' to switch targets, were you thinking of Jade Empire? Because Jade Empire had that for the PC.

Nope Tyren, never played that game.
Of course they are going to have multiple player slots, otherwise it wouldn't, as the say, be KOTOR 3 and 4 and 5 and 6.....
As for the dying effects, I think they're going to have each thing with one or maybe a few dying animations. I seriously doubt any ragdoll effects because it's an mmo, imagine having bodies flying at you from all over the screen when other people kill stuff...
The strangely positioned body doesn't bother me. Not something that you would have to live with, as Arashi said, but something that you can live with.

It was also nice to see that you actually could die, I remember watching a sith video and his health just didn't go down.... It also gave us a look at respawn options, going back to a centre was it?

Personally I don't plan to die but at least I know what my enemies will see as I stand over their lifeless corpse(s)....

*Edit - btw shameless plug but don't forget some of the earliest Trooper in-game vid from this shitty compilation I made a while back... 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf5yKF56uZU' (0.32 and 2:00)*

wow trooper class looks great..hmm its abit weird how the trooper just sits out in the open and take multiple fire attacks like that, but thank god he's got that thick armor on because normal troopers drop like flies.

nice Gonna check it out,

Haven't seen you in a while Darka.

ARe you aware that Darka is a fellow kiwi?

Nice guy, he has been away in Canada for awhile and just got back.

He left just in time to avoid this brutally cold weather..
