A SWTOR Beta Top 4: Reasons To Have A Ship
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.
Space combat is a fun mini-game. It is definitely a diversion, not necessarily a full-blown flight simulator like X-Wing Alliance or TIE Fighter. Still, it is fun, it gives you something to do while crafting, and it isn’t a bad source of XP.

So the Trooper is the ideal soldier: strong, courageous, and a master of the art of war. However, what happens when your conscience is in conflict with orders? That is the line the Trooper must walk. The Trooper is a really fun class, probably a top contender for my main, depending on how much I get to play him before the Smuggler gets my attention. The versatility of the two advanced classes, Vanguard and Commando (tank/DPS and heals/DPS, respectively), is really desirable.

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!
