Cool, nice juicy bit of info there! That video was a bit rubbish (get a room guys) but at least the article talks more about mechanics.

Ooooo I'm starting to feel nervous for the wannabe healers now. Still this had me wetting my pants with excitement a bit:

Bounty Hunter also had sleep darts for crowd control

I'm a such a SUCKER for CC. It's my favourite role in an MMO and I do it really rather well if I don't say so myself.

Ranged DPS, CC, jetpacks, flamethrowers and missiles.... yup it's the Bounty Hunter's life for me!!! I'm SO happy they got that right.

p.s. I get scared fighting people in hand to hand combat.

Sean Dahlberg interview on SWTOR-Station

Auch heute haben wir die Gamescom in Köln wieder genutzt, um Interviews zu führen. Diesmal haben wir unseren Community Manager, Sean Dahlberg, höchstpersönlich vor die Kamera bekommen. Er hat uns von seiner Vision von gutem Community Management erzählt, hat deutsche Server angedeutet und uns mehr über sich selbst verraten.

Das Beste für Fans in Deutschland und Frankreich zuerst: Laut Sean Dahlberg sind deutsche und französische Server so gut wie sicher. Aber auch sonst ist das Interview mit Sean absolut sehenswert, um einen Eindruck von dem Mann zu bekommen, der uns tagtäglich im offiziellen Forum betreut. So erfahren wir zum Beispiel, dass er eher zur dunklen Seite der Macht tendiert, eine bisher unangekündigte Klasse sein Favorit ist, was er an seinem Job am liebsten mag und dass er deutsches Essen liebt.

And the same thing in English:

Today we took again the chance at Gamescom in Cologne to do some interviews. This time we talked to Community Manager, Sean Dahlberg, himself in front of the camera. He told us about his vision of good community management, hinted at German servers and allowed everyone to get to know him a little bit better.

Best thing first for the German and French fans: according to Sean Dahlberg German and French servers are almost certain to come. But asides from that the interview was also very interesting to get an impression of the man, who's taking care of us on the forums everyday. For example, we now know that Sean is more of a Dark Side guy, favours one of the still unreleased classes, what he likes best about his job and of course, that he loves German food.
