When
BioWare announced the Bounty Hunter as the first playable class in

Republic,
there was a great commotion in the Force, as if hundreds of thousands
of Star Wars fans breathed a sigh of relief. With one of the most
talked about classes finally confirmed, speculation remains at an all
time high as to which classes will be revealed next, though many
suspect signs of a Smuggler class are already written on the wall. In
the newest episode of href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/features/final-frontier"
target="_blank"> style="font-style: italic;">MMOs, the Final Frontier,
Reuben “Sardu” Waters takes a closer look at the
potential class lineup in TOR based on the most recent announcements
from BioWare:
Yet BioWare has
selectively revealed
specific information about the game that, depending on perspective,
weaves a very different MMO tapestry than the industry has previously
seen. Somewhere between the strong emphasis on personal stories and the
usage of companion NPCs, I’d find it hard to believe that
class roles will boil down to neat little spreadsheet equations. You
know, the whole thing where Boss X has Y hitpoints and does Z damage,
so defeating it necessarily requires you have one Trained Baboon
wielding a +2 Attack Kazoo of Doom, 2 healers and a Slave Leia
cosplayer in your party.
