I'm interested only in actual gameplay info. This update was about new planet in a form of text and few screenshots.. not really interesting.

Yes... except that the Kinect is the biggest load of horsecrap ever made! Have you seen what kind of games it has? It is just bad controller for this type of games or well basicly every other type of games too.

Even having all the time in the world, I still wont have enough time to devote to all 3 in the same span. Have no clue how working/school folks will be able to.

 

Why should you? Can't you just save the other 2 for later? Thats what I do. I haven't even started DA:Awakening yet.

Looks pretty good. I just wonder since healer is so important will every consular be forced to spec "healer" or GTFO like in certain games?

I understand what you are saying about the art style.  A lot of people are not fans, but it will help it run better on the average system.  As far as the combat, I don't have any complaints.  I expect amazing combat on console games, but with an MMO I don't really care what it looks like.  Hell my favorite MMO of all time was Ultima Online and the combat in that game looked boring and dry.  There are 100 other factors that I look for first in an MMO before the way the combat looks (assuming that the combat is reasonable).

In Ultima Online there was more to do than just combat. Most if not all of these new MMOs are basicly just about combat. There is nothing else to do really. In my opinnion the combat doesn't look that bad. It's basic RPG style. I do dislike the character models however.

Theres also differences like housing or sort of with spaceships.

Similarities to WoW:

Battlegrounds

2 talent trees (4 if you count both advanced classes)

Questing focused. (Yes it has dialog and choices but its still questing. Im assuming it will be more enjoyable.)

End game will most likely be raids and loot. 

Cartoony graphics

Fixed!

So the cover isn't actually a cover? You take hits even if you don't pop your head out? I can see how that would be annoying.

Wookiees are out because they can't speak normal for voiceacting.

Trandoshans hiss too much and are already mentioned in inhabitants, so they'll be in the game, but probably not playable.

 

They said only humanoids for the rest, which is actually most SW races; but I'd expect Rodian, Togruta, Chagrian, Twi'lek and Kel Dor already from what we saw in screenshots and videos...

Clicky

From the combat video. Looks like trandoshan BH! Might also just mean that it's NPC BH using jetpack I guess :(

Edit: Made the link click-friendly.

Haven't played many MMOs so here goes.

5. SWG Bounty Hunter + Pistoleer + something

4. WoW Hunter

3. LOTRO Guardian

2. WoW Druid

1. LOTRO Loremaster

I have similar problem. I've been playing LOTRO on and off from the start but I always last only few months at best and then I just go on a break for 3-6 months. Main problem for me is that the class & combat system is very bland and the races don't feel all that different like they should. There is no feel of progression and your character feels weak. Also in my opinnion the character models look just crap.

Is anyone else disappointed in the art direction of characters and the animations look all stiff.   I am just not getting a good vibe from this game.    The animations seem herky jerky and the character models just look - bad.   Sorry if what I am saying makes others upset, that is not my intent it is just how I feel.

I hate the models too but in all fairness the footage shown was like year old.

It has been confirmed that humans are not the only playable species.

Clicky

Does a MMO have to be totally open world? I mean what is the point? Does it really ruin immersion or something to see a loading screen every few hours? I like open worlds in games and for me WoW is open enough (or was when I still played it 2 years ago) only thing more I hoped was some sort of exploring with boat and bigger sea areas. WoW does have alot of those invisible walls in form of mountains and I don't see any point in most of them since there is always the "level wall" anyway.

OMG WTF IT IS A PIGEON HOLED SINGLEPLAYER ASIAN GRINDER AND NOT TRUE MMO!!!!!!!!!!

j/k

TBH my expectations are a bit on the low side.

Thanks! 

Skirmish-system? Someone care to explain this to me?

WTF is going on with the outfits. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

"Of course, some Inquisitor outfits take expression to the highest extreme—designed to inspire sheer terror in those the Inquisitor comes into contact with."

Because black jumpsuits and robes aren't scary, at all.

Seeing a agile giant red peacock chase me with a glow stick would be a bit frightening.

The 3th one looks like somekind of Borg (from Star Trek) & Warlock (from WoW) mixed together
