Friday Update: New Agent Intel

Friday Update: New Agent Intel



This week's update brings us up to speed on the Imperial Agent, including a fairly lengthy gameplay video. Also revealed is the Agent's personal ship, the X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype. We first caught a glimpse of the sleek and stylish vessel during our dissection of the first space combat video back in August. Included in the reveal is a nice collection of interior screenshots and concept art, as well as a walkthrough video.

We also learn about the Agent's two Advanced Classes, the Sniper and the Operative. The Operative appears to be a stealth-centric close range support class, and the Sniper appears to be a long range heavy hitter. Finally we learn a little about the Imperial Agent's back story, including Kaliyo Djannis, the mysterious and intimidating Rattataki companion, and a little about how the isolated and secretive Chiss were brought under the Empire's influence.

The aurebesh translations from the various pages can be found after the jump, as well as a working dissection of the ship and gameplay videos, and the original forum post from Alyson Bridge.
The Imperial Agent class delivers an experience unlike any other in Star Wars: The Old Republic, and this week, were excited to share new details that highlight what makes the Agent so unique.

Learn about the Agents Advanced Classes and the combat tactics they rely on. Specialize as a Sniper and leverage distance and concealment to get an edge on your enemies, or master stealth, surprise, and combat medicine to become a versatile and deadly Operative.

In addition, check out the following updates for more intel on the Imperial Agent class:

  • If you're looking for a companion with attitude, visit the Biographies section to read about the Agents dangerously charming Rattataki companion, Kaliyo.

  • Aliens are incredibly rare among the ranks of Imperial Intelligence, but if that sounds like your kind of character, be sure to inspect the new Chiss Inhabitants page for information on this enigmatic species.

  • The Imperial Agents sleek starship is one of the most unique models in the galaxy. Check out the X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype in the starships section to get a tour.

  • Last but not least, watch the new class gameplay video to get a look at the Agent in action


In a later update from Georg Zoeller the SWTOR Community gets further confirmation that Agents will be competent healers:

Agents and smugglers are equally capable on the healing front.

    Ha! For those who listen to the podcast, I agreed with Dover a few episodes ago about wanting the IA update next.

    I was thinking it was next as well. Now if they continue the pattern they've started Warrior, Knight, Smuggler, and Agent, the next four should be in this order Inquisitor, Consular, Trooper and Bounty Hunter.

    I would prefer hearing about the Bounty Hunter over Inquisitor next month, that way the Inquisitor info comes last. It might just be me, but the BH deserves the attention. I'm tired of hearing about the manipulator and deceiver, I want to see the BH go in guns ablazing and flame dudes in the face, because that's way more interesting than lightning going sparkly-sparkle.
