Oh ya, because setting up a camera to do four interviews with your employees and then editing it together with gameplay/music costs soooo much money.

Bioware likely employes one maybe two people to write, shoot and edit these pieces.

That's the ol' MMORPG way.. Bring the hate wherever it's needed.. That'll show em!

I mean, what was the point of the blatant call for war? Anyway..

Looking at the tree's, I'd say this would fall (just like the rest of the matchups) to which advance class was chosen.. If it was a sniper vs. a sage, then I would think it would probably be an even fight.. If it was a shadow vs. an operative it would again be an even fight.. A sniper vs. a shadow would probably be in the shadows favor (with the ability to close in on and surprise the sniper) and an operative would probably get the jump on a sage..

But of course in a team situation (which it will almost always be) it will take more then simple matchups to win..

All in all, while I like the matchup, the staff debate was pretty boring unlike the ones we've seen in the past..

He only needs two good volleys to drop that Consular, looks can be deceiving, which is very appropriate in the case of the IA.

1 word:

SKILL

who cares who will win, more skilled players using any character will always win, nuff said

I choose neither, largely because the character creation in the game doesn't make me want to stick around long enough to care who would win in any fight.

So...Character creation isn't what you want it to be...so you won't play a game for its content? Go play Aion or something, then, and stop posting your nonsense on TOR. 

Enjoyed the game cinematics. Enjoyed the beta. I have pre-ordered the DDE. I will play early access. If you do not like it then why hang around? Forums are like standing in the street and shouting. So I am yelling I like what I see. Others are yelling they don't like what they see. Freedom of speech. A couple of million of we gamers will buy and play SWTOR. Others won't. My complaints will go to Bioware for consideration unaccompanied by emotional hatemongering.

To the guy across the street yelling hate - KMA.

I played the IA sniper in one beta and had a lot of fun with it.  I as surprised when in the first flashpoint (Black Talon) she got a 1000+ crit on a boss with her ambush...which is the highest crit any of my characters had at that level.  It's a long-ranged DPS class...so you have to make sure you're far enough away to take down an opponent before they get into melee range.  That being said, higher up the tree there are shortranged knockback and stun skills, as well as a few damage skills for short ranged, that keep you viable.

Did not get to play the Republic classes.

I enjoyed the game, will play it, when it's no longer fun, will quit, the same as any MMO.  It may be a few weeks, months, or years, who knows.  Don't care about the hate or the love, just playing to have fun with my friends and this is the current medium to do that in...

IA will most likely win if the Consular is not expecting him, and he can plan an ambush.

However, in any other situation, the Consular has the upper hand.

The cover mechanic for IA soaks up a ton of dmg from bosses while the JC just eats dicks and dies fast. In a dueling situation u can holographic cover infront of their faces thorw a stun grenade and by the time they recover from stun their dead. Did it and seen it done so many times in all the beta builds.

They dumbed down all the force classes so much it hurts. The only use for force classes is healing, and if u wanted to stretch it, the sith assassin would probably be your best bet. Otherwise u'll get pwned by non force users all day. Unless ofcourse your outgeared, or lower level. As much as gear isn't supposed to make a difference...lol it does A LOT.

Oh yeah and Vibro knives are OP :\

Tough call really.

The IA does do a ton of dmg when playing to his strengths and has enough utility to pull himself out of simpler scrapes. Once folks take notice of the agent they get burned down quick though. That vibro knife both hurts and is demoralizing =(

Consulars are another matter entirely though... Specced right you have a beast equipped with dots, dd, and crit capabilities who melt faces (plural). With enough defense to stand under simple onslaughts and along with kb's and stuns.

I'd give it to the IA all day if the Consular didn't know he was there.

Open field, one on one duel ? Probably the Consular.

That's my opinion though.

from what i seen of beta it will be an IA victory if its group pvp

Good thing they didn't choose operative vs consular.

Stealth, 3 shot, run to next victim ... doesn't make for an exciting match up :)

Do people even believe the bs that comes out of their head?

No person anywhere would actually agree that random button mashing would win in any fight over carefully choosing your power usage.

Stop trying to act cool ... you only sound like an idiot.
