A SWTOR Beta Top 4: Things To Know About The Consular Class
There are so many wonderful features of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I got the immense pleasure of playing the Beta this last weekend, and I want to share some screenshots and opinions. I will be putting out a series of posts with the Top 4s of the many things I got to try, including the classes, the PvP, the systems, and the experience in general.
While I did not personally play the Consular class like I did the other three Republic classes, my wife did, and I helped her. See, she has never played an action game in her life, unless you count Mario Bros. It is really a compliment to the game, since she was able to jump in with a fresh look on things and really enjoy the story and experience. She had a humorous time of it as well, since she was not used to running in 3D with WSAD. She spent a lot of time running in to walls and into corners at first, but she was doing quite well towards level 8, and was even fighting groups of enemies at the end of the weekend with little-to-no help from me. I can see this game bringing in a new crowd to the MMO scene, the geek-at-heart people who have no MMO experience, but just love the story.
Anyway, here are the top 4 things to know about the Consular class in SWTOR!
A SWTOR Beta Top 4: Things To Know About Crew Skills (Crafting)

Crafting has always been one of my favorite facets of MMOs. The mod crafting system from Knights of the Old Republic 2 was a brilliant design, incorporating the ability to modify lightsabers, weapons, and armor that the first game had into a system that was in-depth character progression. The difference here is that the classes are not unbalanced when it comes to crafting ability, unlike in KOTOR.

Here it is folks, the number one class I am looking forward to playing. This snappy-talking, lady-wooing, sharp-shooting, space-cowboy is the coolest dude since Han Solo himself walked the silver screen. I will probably eventually roll two of these so I can play both advanced classes. I am very partial to the Gunslinger currently, and I was able to get one to level 18 in the Beta before the server logged me off.

Travel is the bane of player existence in MMOs. When mounts become available, what they cost, and what they look like are all crucial to our enjoyment of the game. Automated travel, while not as customized, is also important in not only the mechanics of getting around, but also the general feel of the game, e.g. horseback in LOTRO, zeppelins in WoW, and now, speederbikes in SWTOR!

The Jedi Knight was one of my first choices to play as my main. I did enjoy it, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. If you enjoyed the sheer power of a Blademaster/Guardian in KOTOR, then you will love the Jedi Knight. It was a highly energetic class with a plethora of options for slicing bad guys.
