    Get a random number generator 1-8 and each class is assigned to the order it was released. Using this method BH is 1 and Agent is 6.

    Imperial Agent is the opposite to the Smuggler :O
    Gogo Cover mechanic (Or is it something every class has?)

    It's pretty safe to assume they'll start in Hutta, because if you look at the Agent's page on the site, it links to Hutta. All classes link to their starting planet. :)

    Well that saved me a ton of time. It is kind of a let down though. I thought the random characters floating around during the videos might be something. Oh well. Thanks!

    aj, have you noticed the aurubesh they've randomly been throwing into the timeline videos? I noticed it the other day and was thinking of trying to decode it and see if it said anything. Let me know if you're interested or find anything.

    some fridays people go to the official forums and complain about the update not being enough. i ususally tell them to quit complainin, BW doesn't owe you anything. now i feel like those guys, outside the field recon videos we learned nothing new. i'll get over it though.

    on a side note, ever since i saw the timeline video i pegged this as my class and nothing has changed

    a smuggler "Air Drop" or "Resupply" would be pretty cool. But what would they drop? I don't think they are going to require the blasters to use ammo, but I guess that could be it. Heck even if it only drops teddy bears and confetti it would still be a cool looking ability. lol

    I agree. Somehow I feel the Empire classes have more charisma over them.

    Lucky me that we had already decided to play Empire here!

    Tho the Agent has some really nice tools he's more of a glass cannon (Wizard type) than the rest of the classes. If the Agent gets the jump on you its almost over i guess but head to head looks like this 1 will be an easy kill PvP. This is a sneak-em-up class more than blast-em-up. P.S If you pick agent and go PvP, don't be too upset if you get ganked early on :P

    Amazing. I LOVE the class. Such a great addition to the game. Each side gets their low-armoured covering sneaky class. Each side gets their "take it like a man" armour class and each side gets their little glowstick waving type. Anyway, no standing still and back to speculation! Agents seem to, dispite my first thoughts, start on the planet of Nal Hutta! This makes things a perfect circle. So two blaster classes on remote planets with alot of action and story, and the two popular force users on their own mystical worlds where they've found their roots. Korriban: Sith Warrior Nal Hutta: Bounty Hunter, Imperial Agent Tython: Jedi Knight Ord Mantell: Smuggler, Trooper The circle is complete. If there wheren't two empty slots on the website, you would say this is all the classes the game is going to get! Again we are left with no utter clue as to class seven and eight. I had hoped the Agent reveal had broken the 'circle' so that filling in the details would only be a matter of logical thinking. However: Now that classes are devided so nicely across planets we're left with even MORE mystery. Will class 7 and 8 have their own planets? Or will they join the Jedi and Sith on their mystical homeworlds. Though my gut-feeling says otherwise, it does state that the classes yet to come -might- be very closely related to force users or be force users themselves. The "four force user classes" discussion isn't over yet, that's for sure. One of the RL-mates I'm going to play with has nicked the Agent so I'm going to stick to the Bounty Hunter, but this is definatly one of those classes on the first row for my first alt in Star Wars: The Old Republic. More information may be revealed, but the 'higher mysteries' are nowhere near solving.

    Anyone else getting the feeling BW has thrown the coolness of the Imperial Agent right after the Jedi release just to try to cull the ranks of the Jedi wannabees at release? I mean they even showed a demo for the agent and not the Jedi?

    Sorry for the negativity, just wanted to say: Fail! I'm still going to play Jedi! =)
