Friday Update: Sith Inquisitor Holonet

The Sith Inquisitor Holonet is now officially live after a short delay. As Sean posted the following in the Star Wars: The Old Republic official forums today:

The history of the Sith Empire is fraught with scheming politics and dark secrets' the lifeblood of the Sith Inquisitor. Treachery hides around every corner in the Empire's dark corridors, and survival depends on an individual's natural cunning and the will to manipulate and defeat enemies and allies alike. The Inquisitor experiments with forbidden powers to not only survive in this cutthroat environment, but to excel and seize authority.

Access the latest HoloNet entry now to see a full profile of the Sith Inquisitor, including footage displaying the destructive powers of the dark side Also, be sure to visit the Media section to get downloadable screenshots, concepts, and wallpapers


If you are looking for more information on the Sith Inquisitor, there is our article covering our hands on time with the class as well as a speculative piece regarding a little class controversy.

Update: Next week is a planet reveal according to the Star Wars: The Old Republic newsletter -

    Was the Petranaki Arena around in this time? 3500 years is a long time, there could be battle arenas on Tat in this era. What story reason would they have for having Geonosis? Balance says it'd have to be an Empire world, but what would the Empire use Geonosis for?

    I hope this answers your question, but DA:O has pretty standard implementation of 1H vs. 2H. If you replace a 1H with two equivalent 2-handers, the damage from both one-handers combined is higher than the 2-hander, but you miss a lot more so that over the duration of a fight the dps is roughly the same (assuming all you did was auto-attack).

    Every ability for every class in the holonet kill enemies in one shot. This game is going to be stupid because everyone dies after one attack. PvP fights are going to last like 2 seconds cause everyone will die so fast. There is no way this game is going to be fun with 8 super overpowered classes one-shotting everything.

    Snafu, it's called cinematic flair. How exciting would these videos be if they showed the Inquisitor taking 2 minutes to kill his targets? You have to remember people's attention spans when pre-launch hyping a game like this.

    If you watch the gameplay videos, you'll see it takes multiple hits for the most part...and this is against lower level, weak NPCs. Each person is roughly 3-4 times more powerful than an on level NPC. In pvp however, you'de be equally powerful. There is a big diff between the HP of NPCs and Players, probably same with armor, evade, block, etc as well. I'm betting a 1v1 of 2 dps classes without any kind of heals would be a minute plus.

    So, relax:) Once you have played the game, and found whichever class is "OP" ( balance is impossible, so there will be one.. ), then feel free to voice some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

    Cheers!

    Lately the reveals have showed that the "first thought" choises are what Bioware's going with to keep things straight forward. I think your guess is as good as mine and it's fairly 1+1 to state it'll be Tatooine.

    It has to be.That planet plays a key roll in the Starwars movies as well as games.I think the flags just give it away, but im going to slap my self if it isn't.

    First thing that came to mind is: "Tatooine" for that next planet reveal.

    Dang, can't edit my post now, didn't see the newsletter thing when I posted. The artwork does look like Tatooine. I can't think of many worlds that look like Tatooine, so the artwork kinda rules out other ideas.

    Oh I have no idea if it'll be Tatooine. Just the first thing that came to mind.

    Sand > Flagpoles (Podraces) > Tatooine. No facts. Just a .2 second thought.

    I really think TOR won't have Tatooine or any of the other planets that were in SWG. 7 planets and none of them have been from SWG. KotOR said that Anchorhead is regularly covered up by the sands for centuries at a time, so there's no saying for sure if Tatooine is even settled during TOR.

    But I agree that we need to see some desolate worlds. All we have is Korriban, so it'd be nice to see another like that. I'd really like a world like Dathomir, with an atmosphere that just seeps a feeling of dread into your soul. Lots of fog, very desolate, something like that. Which TOR-era planet would fit that?

    Oh Tatooine popped up 300 years before TOR in KOTOR 1 - Czerka Company was leaving though, they found ore but it wasn't of very good quality.
