Thanks for answering that. I’d just finished re-reading this post wondering if I’d missed a link that explained what the two new classes were. ;)

My apologies, it’s four. The Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Cosulor I mentioned, are the two new force users. The previously known force users were the Jedi Knight and the Sith Warrior.

This is a case of me being so nose-deep in the SWTOR forums that I forgot not everyone knew everything about the other six classes.

I’d just like to point out that your four paragraphs of text don’t actually mention whether the final count was four or two. Neither do you link to anything that would answer that question.

It’s certainly not a big deal, just irked me slightly as someone who only follows SW:ToR loosely, and was waiting for you to spill the beans. :p

The interview said that the non-force classes have tricks/gadgets/etc to balance them out. Still, there’s a huge potential here for a game balance nightmare. Especially since the classes aren’t identical on opposing sides, something that WoW wrestled with for a long time (Paladin vs Shaman).

I’m going for Trooper, myself. But congratulations on getting it right. It was the only logical conclusion, given the previous KOTOR examples.

Me either and I built my rig as a gaming system two months ago. I haven’t had time to troll the swtor forums much but I’m betting it’s a 64 bit system issue. I start the scan just fine but it always fails under IE and FireFox.

I plan on playing a smuggler, if I do play at all.

Maybe the non-force classes will be overpowered? The lore, such that it is, showed Jedi getting slaughtered left and right by non-force-using troops in the third prequel, so maybe they’ll just bribe players to play non-force-users.

I hope that a few players are actually not Jedis or Siths. :P
