Once again BioWare shows us how it’s done with flair as they just now posted a new exciting video trailer with Game Director James Ohlen, to the accompaniment of many juicy video clips, describing some of the new features we will be seeing soon in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Maybe Robin Khamsi and Brooks Guthrie can be sweet talked into doing a video like this on MY Legacy family tree too!
James speed talks of many things to come in this awesome new video. Here is the official text for it:
See what the future holds for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ in this brand new video which showcases some of the new game content and game systems that we will release in the coming months. In it, you will be able to take your first look at upcoming game content, including new Warzones and Flashpoints. You will also have the chance to get a sneak peek at the expanded Legacy system that’s coming to the game, UI customization, as well as new Guild features!
But rather than read about it this is one you will want to watch. I did, and then I watched it again at the edge of my seat.
Coming Up in Star Wars: The Old Republic:
We already heard that guild banks were going to be arriving soon but having a, albeit really brief, sneak peek at what the interface will look like really makes my squirrel senses tingle.
That's not how my guild bank will look, I guarantee there will be Desh and Silica spilling out when you open it.
And speaking of interface; UI customization is coming? Oh ye of little faith who thought this was never coming if it wasn’t included in the Launch. We only get a few seconds but everything was resizing and being moved all over. Reminded me of EverQuest customization without the guess work. Very exciting and an immense help to those of us who heal in Flashpoints and Operations particularly. Now if I may just have my mouse-over heals too, please.
How did you like the video and the future tidbits it reveals?

Sitting in my seat going, “OH YEAH – AWESOME!”
Now fix the ability delay and studdering and I’ll be grand! =D
Oh, Did I spy a Miraluka Sith at 1:11*? O_O This makes me look forward to the Legacy system more and more. (Just for the fact I hope I get to have a Chiss Smuggler.)
Ooo good catch!
You would think the customizable UI should have been available at launch. Progress is progress though.
Yep. Saw it. Awesome stuff.
The Miraluka Sith that is.
I’m hoping we’ll get new playable species and not simply make the existing ones available for both sides.
On a side note, the new warzone concept art looks great!
Not sure if it’s just me being inadequate at 02:38 AM or is my profile picture actually something inappropriate with green hands.
My sith pureblood smuggler is gonna be so awesome!
Looking good. Even movable/resizable UI elements will go a long way to making players more comfortable with the stock UI. Guild banks, also a huge plus. Content, always great. Hopefully a form of macro system will make it in soon.
Anyone who complained at launch that these features weren’t present… it’s not like the game was unplayable without these options. The UI worked. I play with a heavily modded WoW UI too, but the stock UI isn’t “broken” there… and it isn’t here, either. We can only go up, with more customization coming in patches, and Bioware is working on it. I’m happy.
Please create a LFG system, I am tired of solo’ing all Khem Val does is complain
All I wanted was a movable UI so I can make it bigger. Can’t wait till this is patched in. I love this game!
I hope that the UI has each element independently realizable, and not just the global sizing shown in the video. I like to make my minimap and player/target panes bigger than normal and the rest smaller.
