Trooper Class Trailer

As an early Christmas present, BioWare released a new class reveal trailer today for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This time the new trailer comes from Gamespot before the unveiling of it in the Friday Update. The trailer most notably features Jennifer Hale as the voice actor of the Trooper. Beyond the voice that every BioWare fan should recognize, several new abilities were unveiled along with possible companions seen. The video is also another good reason to see people shot repeatedly in the face by the Trooper. For those who are planning on playing the Trooper, this is the video to watch.

    It could go either way theres so many variations of the Nikto species, but I could be wrong.

    Okay I was wrong about the companion as revealed today, but one thing I notice on a subsequent watching of the video was that the troopers blaster bolts changed colors at least once maybe twice. In the beginning they where green than when she was firing at the sith warrior they were red and the third possible switch was on the outdoor scene they looked blue maybe but that could have been weapon discharge I'm not sure. As to what this means is anyone's guess but perhaps on the fly adjustments to the weapon or different colors for different abilities perhaps.

    You know what? When looking at that first picture again, It just hit me that each Trooper was wearing a different color. I think the ones with helmets were all NPCs, but it kind of renewed faith in me once again for the possibility of a dye system. I would love for there to be a dye system for the trooper.

    Also, at least there are two death animations now :)

    There's a bit of a wrench in your thinking though, all 4 Troopers are wearing completely different armor sets. So yeah they would have different colour schemes.

    that's 2 classes now with a force leap interrupt, is this something that will be available to every class? i'm not sure how i feel about it tbh. a part of me says, "what's the point of giving a melee class an ability to close on a ranged or fleeing target if everyone can interrupt it?"
  • #24 chronium
    You can interrupt the warriors charge in WoW but it doesn't mean that everyone is going to be able to successfully do it. The timing is going to have to be perfect.

    I find it interesting the sequence of the interrupt. It appears as if the trooper places a passive on the Sith prior to the jump. I bet it has a 5 second cooldown.

    It could very well be just a dice roll vs a "twitch-based" interrupt.
  • #54 theunwarshed
    well, i hope it is on long cool down, because i can forsee the trooper rinse/repeating its melee kb, sprint to distance, dps, charge interrupt to perpetually escape any significant damage from a melee combatant.

    I doubt they would make it like way. That is obviously no where close to being balance and these guys aren't retarded.

    I thought the video was cool, but Jennifer Hales voice didnt match that character model imo. Only one more class for me to see. Then all of my non-force user options will be on the table. Even though I want to play republic, I'm pretty sure Im gonna be rockin a BH.

    Ah, that was the first thing I noticed in this video. The ability to knock Sith out of the air gives a Trooper with quick reaction time at least a chance of negating the range closing move of the Warrior. I'm very glad to see that.

    Enjoyed the trailer, I think the dialogue ran a little too long though.

    All that was necessary, "We didn't start this war, but we're damn well going to finish it." queue epic music and killing.

    great trailer I thought.
  • #14 Predacon
    Mid air knockdown, awesome! Best thing about this reveal is that the Bounty Hunter will be the next class updated :D Every class has been mirrored thus far.
  • #13 Approxy
    I've been trying to figure out why I hate the trailer so much. I think the overall look of the trooper in the vid doesn't work well. Also seeing some of the troopers fall dead doesn't make me want to play the class.

    A long time ago in an MMO far,
    far away. . .
