Hey fellow and not so fellow Wookiee's I think it will be best to concentrate all of our post in one spot Laelaus gave the link for it but I'll put it in here anyways.

Wookie Life Day isnt love J/K

Got the shaft there too, how many wookies actually got orbs an such... I know more Zabs with orbs in their houses than wookies.. argh

Give us armor plz plz or something... how can we survive and lvl like other races....

IS SOE Racist too? Hmmm they gotta be IMPs over there at SOE

I have been playing wookiee from the start, yesI knew no armour would be a disadvantage, but before you even play the game you have to believe that if you cant wear amour then the stat bonus's must be significant enough to counter the disadvantage. Anyway I played through 23 professions on my way to unlocking, I struggled through many combat professions (except CH which at the time was oh so easy) and when i stumbled on TKA I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. With Master Brawler/Master TKA full buffs and food, spice when required i could hang out in the front line of a fight with all the ubese/composite guys. Sure all that still relied on warcry 2 stopping me from getting hit in the first place, but I felt that my character was fun and competive in PvE atleast.Anyway since unlocking I have been playing my Zabrak jedi, the class that 90% of thier forum cries endlessly over having 0 defenses. This character with some average comp, no defenses so gets hitsomuchmore than the tka/brawler, yet I find it near impossible to get myself killed in PvE after being a wookiee for so long.

Fast forward 3 days of playing a Jedi, go back to my wookiee to fix up his template after hologrinding and I die on a simple faction mission 2 or 3 times in an hour lol. You see people cry as they die in 1-2 hits because of thearmour hole, wookiees have to put up with that every single hit since they started playing. As the others have said, it's not fair, the supposed higher ham bonus's are near insignificant (especially if doctor/food/spice buffs are factored in) and badly thought out anyway (low secondaries).

Possibly the sadest thing though is that without thinking I always find myself picking on enemy wookiees first in PvP no matter what thier profession for the quicker kill, and if I am doing it chances are everyone else is doing it too

I hope you get armor soon so I don't have to hear you crying about it.

Just kidding, I think wookies should have some armor, but based on their clothing types they can wear. Put that battle padding to work, etc....

But don't go crying about stats. I'm a bothan. I don't have your strength, my mind is about the same with focus and will caps around 500, and I need a step ladder to get on my swoop bike

True.. Whats with Battle Padding anyway? Battle Padding that doesnt do anything but look good? Argh gimme a break. Oh ya that stuff about our stats being higher is a joke too, not much of a benefit especially in the whole AR situation and damage mitigation. We wookies are definatley the most suppressed race in SOE SWG. I suppose we are supposed to be but really....

Wookies def got the short end of the stick, and mabe there was an initial worry of wookie over population but as things stand now that is not the case.

Even if we only get a chest plate protector... one single armour piece that would remove 50% of our damage, we would at least be a more competitive and balanced Race in SWG. As it stands now wookies make good dancers and doctors ROFL. Thought we were supposed to be good hunters, but a Mon Cal in composite will out perform a wook any day and they are more suited as crafters?.....?

I agree that wookies are at a disadvantage far and above the advantages given by increased stats. I don't think wooies will get armor though. I'm sure the devs have something in the works concerning the wookie's lack of armor. I'm willing it bet that in the coming combat balance rework, wookies receive either a) stat boost (unlikely, this will favor wookies too much in the beginning of the game) or b) some sort of innate damage mitigation, defense multiplier or some other sort of passive ability. I don't expect for wookie's to get an AR though. That would be unfair to other players that have to buy armor.

All speculation ofcourse, but you guys should really forget getting armor. It's just not gonna happen unless it comes from some highly difficult to obtain in game mechanic/quest. Hmm, maybe light resist clothing for wookies made by tailors/armorsmiths?...

Well, after getting my Silent Holocron, I mastered novice profs, then thought back to this post and thought to go Master Armorsmith with Hopes of Wookiee Armor being implemented into SWG. Coming from a Wookiee Master Armorsmith (why would a wookiee master this, dunno) PSG are crap. I can't afford to make another PSG after every PvP that goes down, well because I go down too without Armor. Most PvP profs out there that are any good happen to be melee, how does PSG help for that, better give a boost to burstrun lol. I'm tired of the disadvantage, but with hopes, I'll keep MAS just incase.

And By The Way.../bump =)

Chewoji,
