Friday Update “BoreWare” Compilation

Since BioWare has released two weeks worth of useless Friday Updates, I have compiled them both into a single boring news update.  The New Years Eve update was a Developer Blog with Lead Cinematic Designer Paul Marino on the subject of Cinematic Design. In the Devloper Blog, Paul Marino explains how scenes are crafted in Star Wars: The Old Republic as well as gives insight on story aspects. There were a few new screenshots and videos to help the Developer Blog convey what Paul Marino is speaking on.

The latest Friday Update (1/7/11) was on a assortment of Biographies.  The Biographies include Supreme Chancellor Janarus, Darth Jadus, and Jewla Nightbringer. As always the Biographies include subtle hints of the story and possible game elements of SWTOR that should be interesting to fans looking to learn everything about the game.

Hopefully this upcoming Friday’s Update won’t be as lame considering a game that is due out for release in Spring 2011 (April – June).

Friday Update: Imperial Agent Intel

This week’s update delivers information about the Sith Empire’s Imperial Agent class.

Alyson Bridge said:

The Imperial Agent class delivers an experience unlike any other in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, and this week, we’re excited to share new details that highlight what makes the Agent so unique.

Learn about the Agent’s Advanced Classes and the combat tactics they rely on. Specialize as a Sniper and leverage distance and concealment to get an edge on your enemies, or master stealth, surprise, and combat medicine to become a versatile and deadly Operative.

In addition, check out the following updates for more intel on the Imperial Agent class:

• If you’re looking for a companion with attitude, visit the Biographies section to read about the Agent’s dangerously charming Rattataki companion, Kaliyo.
• Aliens are incredibly rare among the ranks of Imperial Intelligence, but if that sounds like your kind of character, be sure to inspect the new Chiss Inhabitants page for information on this enigmatic species.
• The Imperial Agent’s sleek starship is one of the most unique models in the galaxy. Check out the X-70B Phantom-Class Prototype in the starships section to get a tour.

Last but not least, watch the new class gameplay video to get a look at the Agent in action!
