They look pretty cool..


I cant wait to see how they are implemented, but it made me think..


If these things are spawned outside of cities... if spawns of troops/at-at's/at-st's are spawned in the wild... wouldnt these huge killing machines be destroying some of our beloved land? roleplaying idea for me... Resign my Master Sergeant place in the imperial army and join the rebels because of my anger at the reckless destruction of the landscape?


Just thinking in type-mode... dont mind me.

I was reading "somewhere" that the SOE model coding team had trouble making these things look right when travelling up hills etc, having watched the AT-ST's looking very silly walking up sheer waterfalls at Theed I'm keen to see what they have done.

TC tester here...I was there, it was awesome. I have some pics, but don't have a place to post them (any help, anyone??)


There are a few problems with animation right now. They look pretty bad going up/down hills (a few glitches and stuff, they don't actually look like they are going uphill, they look like some of the legs are floating. Also, the AT-AT's "spin" in place rather than turning. It's kind of funny to have an AT-AT fire at someone, then spin 180 degrees like it was a balerina.


All in all though, they are beautiful, but actually rather easy. A group of fifteen with a few commandos killed one without a single incap. However, in groups with a few AT-STs they are quite deadly.
Please help me with posting the pics.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

-=Dammit, I wish there was an edit button on this thing.=-


I can get the general chat on TC from its forum I guess, I'm asking if there are any issues that concern us Rangers naturally,

I'd say that these are going to be an issue for ALL proffessions. From what I and the other testers have decieded amongst ourselves is that ATAT's will not be alone and they WILL (eventually, of course) be part of the Imperial crackdown. What this could mean is that running (or driving) around as an overt rebel on advanced planets, you MAY run into an ATAT and several ATST's. all of this is unsubstantiated rumor, pure and simple. We simply made inferences based on what little info we had.


I.E. when hunting big game, check over your shoulder for an ATAT...being overt may HURT.

I'll post back here when i have a few snapshots for you guys...


I thought it was pretty funny running around, being a creature-centric guy going..."hmm...this is just like a giant, metal Krayt, only with lasers on his cheeks...I can do this, I can do this...it's just a big, metal Krayt with lasers on his cheeks...come on...focus....."


I was useless lol. But I had fun and got to see commandos whoop that big thing down to size =). And I did hit it a couple of times. I thought about trying a few traps on him, but....thought better of it later.
