And while Advanced Classes used to be selected after your character had gained a few levels, now they’re an integral part of initial character creation. Over the years, more and more of the combat gameplay options in SWTOR have shifted out of the Classes and into the Advanced Classes. In gameplay terms, these options are your character’s Class and Advanced Class, with each Class having access to only two Advanced Classes. So, when we designed our eight player classes, we tied each of them to the styles of combat we felt matched them best: For example, Bounty Hunters can fight with two blaster pistols like Jango Fett, Troopers use blaster rifles like Clone Troopers, and so on. When we first developed SWTOR, one of our goals was to enable players to create custom characters that reflected the ones you knew and loved from the Star Wars galaxy.
Coming soon in Legacy of the Sith, you’ll have more options than ever to bring your personal Star Wars characters to life with Combat Styles!
