Actually, you can spend points earned for dark or light choices for alignment specific gear.

Yep, like if you start out as Jedi and earn enough "Dark" points, you get to look like this:


I think that's pretty decent. Kind of reminds me of when in AION I was Elyos but snuck over to Asmo side to farm mobs and get gear skins.

Although TOR "one upped" it, because no one can "farm" that gear unless they specifically steer their toon down that path which is nice. When you see a Sith in Jedi stuff or a Jedi wearing the Johnny Cash set, you know that person didn't just buy it on the auction house.

They had to earn it. Although I'm extremely curious what a Sith would wear if they earned "Light" points. Maybe:

You get to spend social points for group play for social gear. But you earn light or dark points as you play out your story and make choices. You don't spend them, they just add and subtract the light/dark points to give you light I, II, III, IV and so on or dark side I, II, III, IV. You can then put on gear that corresponds to your point level.

 

I am glad to see the change in appearence make it back in before launch. I didn't like it when they said it was back on the wall of crazy for post launch. It should be a great feature for corruption. But light side? I don't see players with light IV having haloes around their heads like Fable. Maybe a glow effect around their bodies?

Only if you choose hair. If you choose "None" as a hairstyle, your points are spent like this:


Jedi on left, Sith on right.

The information that pleases me the most is the earlier release for the EU.  I was a little concerned about a 22nd December release as that time of year the post and delivery network becomes particularly clogged.  Now with a 20th December release I feel more confident that the EU will be involved before Christmas.

Really glad to see this return


Lastly, the SWTOR team revealed that spending points in the Light or Dark side will change the character's appearance.


At one point, i was told it was taken out, pretty sure it was a dev, cause i know i was bummed to hear about it, and general posting doesn't do that, so while i can't remember who said it, i was pretty sure at one point they said that wouldn't happen.


Anyway glad to see that appearance change based on light/dark side has made a return.


Help me Bioware, your my only hope.

Have questions, concerns, want info about The Old republic

I could put the .psd document up for you to download and polish if that's what you use?

EDIT: If you use photoshop pm me your email and I'll send you the .psd document since your sigs are alot more slick than mine :(

Wait a minute.  Wasn't the "ability" to have your appearance change via light side / dark side points known for a long while now?  Last I heard it was optional, but I have known about it for at least a year.

first time it was mentioned was in a star wars insider interview last october with either damion schubert or james ohlen.  im going to go with damion since he also dropped a mention of something during GDC online that apparently wasn't something they were ready to talk about given a response from the mmorpg.com panel(legacy system).  then back during pax east, D.E. mentioned it would be optional.  however a few months ago(i think it was at SDCC) they mentioned it wouldn't make it for launch.  it seems that has changed

Excellent work there Agricola!

And damn nice sig there Pony!! I'd have a new sig duel with you but am currently traveling and don't have my good machine with me, nor any of my programs.

For first, nice to hear.


Second,  well that's two days. I could have lived for that, but how long is the preorder earlier game time?


Third, well duhh. Anyone who has ever played KOTOR, KOTOR 2, Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 would have seen this one coming.

Does this affect only the appearance of the face ?

What if I like playing with my helmet on ? Will I not benefit from this feature then ?

I have close relatives in Australia (Melbourne) who are waiting eagerly for TOR, they told me that digital distribution will be available there from day 1 with subscribers connecting on US west coast servers. I don't see where the problem lies.

except aussies and new zealanders have been invited to test a new data center this weekend to see how it runs in hopes of expanding launch.




 




" We currently have no updates regarding the launch of the game in these or other territories, but will provide information as it becomes available."



That is the entire point... They are trying to appiease the massive amount of Aussies and Kiwis (NZ) that have cancelled thier pre-orders (like I did) . People have been waiting a year for an 'update'. AU and NZ were excluded from beta testing, they were sent 'BUY IT NOW!' emails and then told 'No Available in your Area'




This is more EA B.S.







 




Not bio's  fault you guys are off in the corner of the world kinda makes it hard to get a product to you guys so you can play with everyone with the distance factor and there would have to be enuff people that want the game in you're area to make it worth there while. Also you're goverment is like a nanny and won't let you play things without permission first and all i have to say is baaaaaaa baaaaaaa baaaaaa lol.
