It just shows how restrictive the game is, and is mainly a single player adventure than a MMO. The game does not allow the Jedi and Sith to adventure in the same space, whereas other MMOs with factions do.
The LS and DS points are pretty useless as even if a Sith has 100% LS points still will not go Jedi, or vice versa with Jedi having 100% DS points.
A proper MMO would have given you a fresh character, and then choose which path to take, and then if you change your mind do a bit of grinding and be on the opposite side, but as SWTOR is story driven you can only follow the path Bioware has set out for you.
They could easily make Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Commando, Agent be for both sides. So in SWTOR there are no stormtrooper / smuggler characters on the Imperial side, and no Officers or Bounty Hunters on the republic side?
Truth.
******************************** SWG pre cu - never forgotten.
Wow, you two SWG fanatics seemed to simply miss the background of a few things
The Bounty Hunter class represents the Manadlorians, not an average bounty hunter. Look at the faction icon. You see in the old wars between the Republic and the Empire, Mandalor decided to side with the sith to fight the Jedi. While there may be actual "bounty hunters" everywhere (thanks to the BH event) the BH CLASS is a Mandalorian, so NO there will be NO BH on the Republic side.
At this time there are no "pureblood" sith left. You are correct no one in born sith. BUT if you know your SW history there are Sith and there are sith. One is a Race, and one is an ideology. In this game you are a sith, not a Sith. The Sith they offer, are the descendents of the Sith, not purebloods themselves.
Now Back on topic
new classes, no, not yet in my opinion. I'd rather see a BH being able to have more than just blasters, I'd rather see scatterguns actually used rather than accessories. Characters "should" be able to use what weapon they want. Id rather have that before new classes
Play what you Like. I like SWOTR, Have a referral to get you going! --> http://www.swtor.com/r/nBndbs <-- Several Unlocks and a few days game time to make the F2P considerably easier
With all the voice over it will take to make a new class, I dont think there will be a new class. Unless they find some smart way to recycle conversations from other classes.
It would be nice if Bioware adds more classes and races along the lines of SWG. I never played SWG i saw all the playable races and classes there and they were pretty cool.
If Bioware added the options i would make a devaronian pilot, or spy, or even entertainer for fun. Maybe female and similar in looks to Darth maladi
Ah...entertainers.....ain't nothing like standing in the cantina for hours hoping players /watch you for buffs so you could maybe gain exp .....nothing says fun like just standing still in one place dancing and your only use being buffs
/sarcasm off
Just wasn't your thing. I had multiple accounts, and I spent quite a bit of time on my entertainer. They were great when you really didn't want to go out killing stuff, but still wanted to chat in game. After AFK buffing became the norm I would occasionally go in on my combat toons and would give a 1 mil tip to the first entertainer that was at the keys.
Witches of Dathomir - would be a cool race and class addition, could allow for male versions i.e. warlocks. So, less structured Force using, more chaotic.
Creature Handler for sure - Companion system would need to be worked around, but it can be done. Playing a "pet" class in EQ2 with a Merc helping me is more what I see, but then that would make the class the ultimate soloer, but then again, all classes can solo.
Battle Droid - or some variation. Like IG-88. I know, he was a bounty hunter, but maybe have the class have a mix of Bounty Hunter, Agent and Smuggler to make a new variation. new race added too, Droids.
Teras Kasi master - game needs a hand to hand class and would be different enough from everything else. Loved going off on Rancors as a Teras Kasi master in SWG, was so fun. Basically Star Wars version of monk.
So, that's what I've come up with in my head, sure I could think of tons of others, but alot would be hybrids of what is already there.

Obvious that you never played an entertainer in SWG. If you actually did, it clearly wasn't the class for you. It's ok. Not everyone understood SWG.
You can downplay my tongue and cheek description of Entertainers all you want by claiming that I "never understood SWG" (even though I am prob the only person who posts on these forums who got jedi pre NGE), the fact remains that they were a very "non action oriented" class. I was commenting on someone claiming that adding entertainers as they were in SWG would be "fun"....they would be laughed at if they were ever implemented in a modern trinity based themepark.
Getting a Jedi pre NGE wasn't a big deal tbh. I had 3. Pre CU on the other hand...
It may come as a big surprise to some but a lot of players enjoyed playing their ent toons. They provided a nice social aspect to the game. Some would create groups and perform as a band or invite people to their cantina. SWG was a totally different game than the mindnumbing themepark shit we got today. My point is that even a "boring" non combat class can be a lot of fun to play. As for adding things, I'd be happy if they added speech bubbles. To roleplay in a chat channel is just the most un-immersive thing ever.
First, I am going to ignore your almost certainly bogus "I had 3 jedi pre nge" statement (there were never any confirmed jedi pre holocrons btw), and remind you that what was fun in SWG, deosnt mean it would even remotly transelate to being fun SWTOR. Your little "anyone who likes swtor is lower than me" attitude doesn't fly here buddy. Again, since you seem to be on a "swtor is shit, swg was beast" crusade here, I was talking about having entertainers in swtor....you know...the post that i quoted.....I am sure some people had fun with them in SWG (they were by far the least played class, but lets ignore that for your sake right?), they would be utterly useless in swtor.....you really think people would have fun standing around dancing and not being able to run FPs or OPs, or WZs in swtor? I get it though, you want to use this as your opening to say "thats why swtor shouldnt exist".....swtor is here, its staying, its vastly more fun, and has multiple times the player base SWG ever drempt of having. Accept it and read the context before activating your SWG defense force ring.

On a side note, it makes no sense to abandon the 2nd most played MMO in the west, does it? lol.

Someone on reddit.
A while ago it was linked on the official forums by people too.
There's nothing official about it, just a rumor someone started and that people jumped on.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)
people need to realize this game took a big chunk of change our of ea's coffers. until it basically makes back what they spent in dev costs EA will not dump a hugh amount of money into new development. And as long as the cash shop and subs makes them revenue they will be skimpy on addind story or worlds. if anything I could see them adding a ton to housing and the starfighter elements and never having to actually do anything with level caps or new story content

I believe they said they already earned it back.
And later this year we are getting 3.0 which will in fact raise the leveling cap and add a huge chunk of story (the continuation and conclusion of the Forged Alliances storyline that they introduced recently).
Still, I wouldn't mind seeing more housing over time too.
Doug Bradley (who voiced the Emperor) has tweeted about being hired to do more voice work SWTOR too, along with many of the other voice actors. So the expansion is definitely coming.

I for one would love to see a beast master for the Sith, and a droid expert for the Jedi. Or a corrupter for the Sith where they turn enemies to allies.
If it's making money then I don't see why they wouldn't b working on a second one. It would be an easy pitch to say that they could make one that would outperform ($$$) the original and take advantage of the license that they have while they have it. Bioware likes to work episodically anyway.

Ya, that has always worked out well for MMOs, whos main hook is player commitment.

There is a old adage that says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". In this case, if it is making monye why replace it or even provide something that would directly compete with it. I truly doubt, given the age of SWTOR and if it is making money, that they would ever consider making a totally new version. Not saying it won't happen down the road but not soonish. Since Bioware can pretty much continue to add updates that make most fans happy, they never actuallly need to make a newer version.

The fact that current players may not want the water muddied by a new product is not something EA is worried about.
History of the game and design philosophy for SWTOR doesn't indicate EA as having a big concern about the players. If the fans have put up with what they got so far then they will stay through anything. They could make a new game, link store purchases to both games and make it so to unlock in either game you have to play the other one and Star Wars fanbucks would still pour in. Bioware/EA is determined to do whatever the hell they want, and they have shown that through the life of the game. If that leak is correct they will make a new game, and as far as they are concerned bitching about it would be immaterial. If it got real bad they would give every player a recolored pet robot as a gesture.

Well point is not that EA wouldn't. My point is much as you are saying, if it makes money they will do it. However, I happen to think that it would not be as profitable to EA to make a new game and try to run it concurrent to the old one. EA will make their decision based upon what they think best benefits their bottom line.

sorry to subject change but swg comments where bound to leak on to this thread at some point.
The rumors are not about a swtor2, it is infact rumors of another SWG type game. Its a quote from SOE president saying that there next game is going to be for the star wars galaxies fans.
Any one that got a chance to play swg preCU or even CU, knows how much of a game it was. Truly ahead of its time even today I still play swg emu with an acquired copy of swg.
But any way If I had to choose a new class for swtor, it would be infact as suggested CH or droid engineer. which btw is not very original but thinking about it, I cant actually think of an original class my self as I keep being drawn back to classes from swg.

They were great when you really didn't want to go out killing stuff, but still wanted to chat in game. After AFK buffing became the norm I would occasionally go in on my combat toons and would give a 1 mil tip to the first entertainer that was at the keys.
Witches of Dathomir - would be a cool race and class addition, could allow for male versions i.e. warlocks. So, less structured Force using, more chaotic.
Creature Handler for sure - Companion system would need to be worked around, but it can be done. Playing a "pet" class in EQ2 with a Merc helping me is more what I see, but then that would make the class the ultimate soloer, but then again, all classes can solo.
Battle Droid - or some variation. Like IG-88. I know, he was a bounty hunter, but maybe have the class have a mix of Bounty Hunter, Agent and Smuggler to make a new variation. new race added too, Droids.
Teras Kasi master - game needs a hand to hand class and would be different enough from everything else. Loved going off on Rancors as a Teras Kasi master in SWG, was so fun. Basically Star Wars version of monk.

I also hope they will eventually expand the professions a bit. Like Actually having missions to the various places that you can send your companions.
Off course open space for real bounty and smuggling missions would be awesome..but we all know that is unlikely to happen.

A while ago it was linked on the official forums by people too.
There's nothing official about it, just a rumor someone started and that people jumped on.

so say we all
I believe they said they already earned it back.
And later this year we are getting 3.0 which will in fact raise the leveling cap and add a huge chunk of story (the continuation and conclusion of the Forged Alliances storyline that they introduced recently).
Still, I wouldn't mind seeing more housing over time too.
Doug Bradley (who voiced the Emperor) has tweeted about being hired to do more voice work SWTOR too, along with many of the other voice actors. So the expansion is definitely coming.

If it's making money then I don't see why they wouldn't b working on a second one. It would be an easy pitch to say that they could make one that would outperform ($$$) the original and take advantage of the license that they have while they have it. Bioware likes to work episodically anyway.
Ya, that has always worked out well for MMOs, whos main hook is player commitment.
There is a old adage that says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". In this case, if it is making monye why replace it or even provide something that would directly compete with it. I truly doubt, given the age of SWTOR and if it is making money, that they would ever consider making a totally new version. Not saying it won't happen down the road but not soonish. Since Bioware can pretty much continue to add updates that make most fans happy, they never actuallly need to make a newer version.

The fact that current players may not want the water muddied by a new product is not something EA is worried about.
History of the game and design philosophy for SWTOR doesn't indicate EA as having a big concern about the players. If the fans have put up with what they got so far then they will stay through anything. They could make a new game, link store purchases to both games and make it so to unlock in either game you have to play the other one and Star Wars fanbucks would still pour in. Bioware/EA is determined to do whatever the hell they want, and they have shown that through the life of the game. If that leak is correct they will make a new game, and as far as they are concerned bitching about it would be immaterial. If it got real bad they would give every player a recolored pet robot as a gesture.
Well point is not that EA wouldn't. My point is much as you are saying, if it makes money they will do it. However, I happen to think that it would not be as profitable to EA to make a new game and try to run it concurrent to the old one. EA will make their decision based upon what they think best benefits their bottom line.

I agree with you 100%. If EA feels like it will make more money, they will do it, period.
sorry to subject change but swg comments where bound to leak on to this thread at some point.
The rumors are not about a swtor2, it is infact rumors of another SWG type game. Its a quote from SOE president saying that there next game is going to be for the star wars galaxies fans.
Here is one source of many more http://2p.com/4091187_1/John-Smedley-SOEs-Next-Game-Is-Dedicated-To-SWG-Fans-by-Wei.htm
Any one that got a chance to play swg preCU or even CU, knows how much of a game it was. Truly ahead of its time even today I still play swg emu with an acquired copy of swg.
But any way If I had to choose a new class for swtor, it would be infact as suggested CH or droid engineer. which btw is not very original but thinking about it, I cant actually think of an original class my self as I keep being drawn back to classes from swg.
