COUGH GAY!!!! COUGH, **edit** man the whole reason they chose wookiee cuz they got extra stats, but leave it to the duvs to screw up the game since now wookiees will have armor that works and buffed up stats on top well there goes the whole fairness of unstacking defenses cuz now we all get to get raped by wookiees





You obviously have not read this entire thread or have any notion of a Wookiee's true issues in the game. Educate yourself a bit before flaming away.

Thunderheart,

THANK YOU! and please tell all the DEv's THANK YOU!

This is what we have been needing and asking for for some time. It gives us a reason to continue playing.

One thing that needs to be addressed though. Even though we will finally be getting armor the issue of actually communicating with your players still needs to be looked at. We spend countless hours playing this game not to mention our $15 per month, we deserve to be communicated with and not ignored. So in the future it would be appreciated if you could give us a little more detail other than "this is being looked into". That is like telling a child "we'll see" when they ask for something. There is nothing more frustrating than getting the feeling that you are being pacified to keep you quiet.

Overall Thunderheart we are very pleased with this anouncement and the game in general......but please address the communication issue! It can be a deciding factor in whether or we stay happy.

Damn some of you people are pathetic. The armor hasnt even been made yet. We dont even have an idea of stats, it could be crap for all we know. And look, already you're crying nerf. Stopguzzling that haterade and let us wookiees live. All we want is a level playing field. Oh and as far as wookiees becoming the new FOTM, its possible but I doubt it. This isnt like changing professions, you will lose everything. The people who will go out and change species areprobably thesame people who do nothing for the community. All they do is look for god templates, cry nerf when they realize someone else is stronger, and most likely use MANY of the exploits we are all familiar with.

I think that's a very good idea. From a roleplay point of view this isn't so good but armors are so important in gameplay that wookies can't PvP without it so I think you're right to do it

Hey ReptileSpit,

Go troll another posting, and let us have our moment without interference from the squid.

So far Ive come across at least 7 of your posts while reading thru this thread.

You offer nothing but race griefing, and put downs.

That is your right to do so, just do it in your galaxy board, or somewhere else.

The Wookie Bandolier


The Wookie bandolier (WB from here on out) would be considered (guesswork mostly at this stage) the "chest plate" of the wookie armour. This item could be made by Armoursmiths, and given Resist/Encumerances to reflect armour.

But I see what you wookies are getting ready to say already: "W.T.F.? That's just a chestplate, we wookies want a full suit of armour, like humans get." So, here comes part II of my bandolier idea:


The Wookie Bandolier Cartridge


The WBC would be in a nutshell, the other pieces of armour. These would also be made by Armoursmiths, and given the Resist/Enc wanted, and then could be made to "drag and drop" onto the WB and (once attached) they are forever. Just like any other armour, you would have to purchase a new WB and WBC in order to make another armour type that would benefit you in a different situation (much like we should need more than one type of armour as well.) the WBC would take no "space" in the WB, which would also be dual-purposed as a "backpack" for wookies as well. The WBC would also be able to use armour tapes in their construction.



I like this for three reasons:


1) We'll be fully armored (yay!)


2) People who complain that Wookiees appearing to have armor on would ruin the experience for them (but Wookiees in the Imperial army and being able to be resurrected indefinitely are OK) won't be able to b!tch about it.


3) No one will know if you're wearing armor, or how covered you truly are. This might instill some of the fear and uncertainty that we should be able to bring to the hearts of our opponents.









Dumb idea.


You cant have a backpack AND a bandolier on at the same time..

First of all, I'm glad that I don't have to worry about getting in the first hit, and dying if I miss in PvP.


Second, to all who worry about Wookiee superiority: the bonuses we get in HAMdo not make a difference in PvP with the monster damage that is done with flame throwers, head hit 3's, monster bleeds, poison's and diseases. ALL races have a defined advantage in one prof or another (for example, human artisans, mon calamari doctors, dosh TKA's etc). The only thing that make wooks stand out is that they are nicely rounded to fit all professions.


I became a wookie and found their only BIG advantage was in strength. So when I use my power hammer unbuffed for 2handheadhit3, it only cost me80 health pts (121 without my weapon powerup). So, in the future hopefully, an armored wookie Master Swordsman would be a very fearsome opponent in PvP, as are armored Transdosian Master TK's already. THIS ONLY BRINGS BALANCE!!!


Don't argue that wookies have a decided advantage. Instead of being a Dosh Doctor like a moron, optimize your characters abilities by making your char'srace a deciding factor in your specialized profession. I believe I did by becoming a MB, MHS, and MCH.


Don't hate (the wookie)

Congratulate!!

All im going to say is that every game I have played had a Race that was uber.


Wookiee I feel should be uber Race but suffersomewhere.



These are the thoughs on my personal feeling of wookiee's


Their hugh they should take an hit on the Action cause their so big and Stong. They should get a bonus in health and strengh Con too. Mind Should be in the Med range. Their should be some kind of ESL on wookiee's though IE we get Even Armor etc But Takes us along time to Get XP compaired to other races that are just Reg stats etc.


I Have played a wookiee with Damage Mig 3 Master Carbiner now this does nothing for us I have been attacking the same thing as other races and see me taking 300+ hits when someone who is playing human taking 15 Hit all the time. WE have nothing to protect are Heads and are mind well drain out so fast that its a total Joke.


The only Way i have found to play a wookiee and live in PVE not PVP is to take 0440 Doc with the buffs and Heals.


I have been in alot of PVP and all i can say is that were an easier target then a nuna....


When in hugh PVP battels people well Target the Wookiee First cause they know in two hits their down for the count.


Are Stregh isat 600 starting "cant go lower"Tell me how this helps us we cant take those extra points and put them into something else...


Does the extra HAM justify that "Hell No"


Cause every other race is running around with uber armor that when you hit them it hits for 15 points


And uber buffs on top of that.


While all we have is hmm nothing to counter that and last time i checked areWookiee Roar Didnt rip off anyones Arms Legs...


About time we get Armor Im happy only race ive ever played has been wookiee.


For the people that done play as a wook Lets have the server Have Armor turned off for a week and lets see all the crying going on these forums. well see atopic of Whah Crying That has 100 + Pages.

We already DO take a hit on action - our Stamina tops out at 500, which is laughable for TKAs.

figured all you wookiees would get a good laugh out of this forum mail I got from Volatile999


---------------------------------------


Ok, one reason why the dev team should go against the movies and give wookiees armor.. I just want one viable reason other than the wookieee community chose to be wookiee at the cost of no armor knowing if they complained enough they would eventually get armor kind of unfair seeing as how you guys have buffed up stats as it is dont you think this should be nerfed or dealt with accordingly? Maybe they should jack the HAM costs up the pie hole so it would be fair what do you have to say about that


---------------------------------------


It is very apperent that all his Star Warsy ness feelings come from just the movies (in which Chewie was the main wook). For all of you who think the SW universe stops at the movies, stop playing now, as the whole story arc is part of the expanded universe in which much of this game is based, so if you dont want wookiees to have armor, plz, do us a favor and stop playing
