I would like to suggest that this be a Wookiee Schematic, like the Bowcaster, not an Armorsmith schematic.

If it is judged that this is a bad idea, and the schematic should simply be given to all Armorsmiths of appropriate skill, then I would ask why it is a good idea for the Bowcaster, but not for the Armor.

I guess when it comes right down to it, it isn't so important to me how it is handled, as much as it is important that it be handled in a consistent fashion.

I have one reason: It's already hard enough to find an armorsmith for the kind of armor EVERYONE wears, without having to special-order a suit of Wookiee armor from a Wookiee armorsmith. Besides, normal smithies can accomodate anyone from a Bothan, to a Mon Cal, to a Trandoshan, so the argument that only a Wookiee understands Wookiee body mechanics is moot.

You didn't address the question that I already told you I was going to ask. If this is a bad idea, then why is it a good idea to only allow Wookiee Weaponsmiths to make Bowcasters? It has exactly the same problem with having to track down a Wookiee Weaponsmith to order it from.

What are you basing your comment on that Wookies are a race that don't wear armour? That right, absolutely nothing. No where has it been said that Wookies can't wear armour. This whole bloody argument has gone round and round in circles. People have constantly shown that no where has it every been stated that Wookies can't wear armour, either in this game, in the EU or even in the movies.

People are so quick to jump in with phrases like 'feel of the game' or 'continutity' but yet they don't comment on the number of Jedi running around, 'Pokemon Wars', non-humans in Imperial service etc. etc.

Me i base it simply on the film, Chewbacca was goin to Endor to shut down down a shield generator, and what does he wear to protect himself, thats right nothing, going to an imperial conreolled out post wit hstormies and blaster fire and he decides not towear his wookie armour... and dont get me started about other "look and feel" of star wars issues.. jedi and armour, amount of Jedis and whipping out a ATST out of ur back pocket, Rebels being paid..but they are other arguements no place for them here

This has got to stop. By making a rash generalization and saying that we're getting thsi because of 'moaning' and 'whigning', you are just putting down all the time and effort so many of us have taken to come up with reasoned and comprehensive ideas and then get them through to KStafire who has done a lot of hardwork in pushing this through for us.

Yup you do make a good point generalisation was probably wrong but can u blame me? i come here to post to suggest stuff i got to the GCW zone .i get 4 threads in large text with "wooKEES NEEdZ armour DEVZ" i go into the game guides zone and same thing i get it in my server forum. You see what im building up there are as you say people going around it in the right ways and they probably unfairly get tarred with a smilarbrush its a shame and it happens.

Do you even know what the armour will look like? No. No one here does. They definitley arent' going to give us something that looks like Composite or Ubese because that would look awful on us.

Well than what can they give you, hide armour like the Wookie clothes? Hide Armour thats just as good as composite? Hide armour that deflects Blaster Fire and stop Swords and Pikes..... again another joke if they do. If they make it less quality becsue of using hides, then there will be cries to get everything even....if u wanted an even game no one would kill each other beacause their attacks and defenses would be identical

They are trying to balance us out first because trying to satisfy some garbage like feel of the game. It's easy for people like you to talk about the feel of the game when everything is fine and dandy with your species. When a species like ours has been broken since inception, the feel of the game should definitely take a back seat to balancing us out.As I said, you don't even know what the armour will look like. For all we know, it might go the bandolier route which some suggester OR it might look very similar to the already existing Wookie clothing. I haven't heard many complaining about that.

The Feel of the game should never take a backseat to anything, i want to play a Star Wars themed game i want to me immersed in it as much as possible, i dont care if the profession im working at is the best or the worst (pistoleer..it sure isnt an ubercombat class)i do it cuz thats the role i want to play. The people who are bothered about balance are the ones who just want to play the game to have a chance to own everyone to be able to say im the best and becasue they found thisisnt attainableat the time beinga wookie, so they want it made so they are. If you want balance why the hell do we have different races???? Lets make everyone generically the same since if some people have advantages other people will want them?? should we do that at a price of it becominga generic game with star wars tags on ......No one in there right mind would want that

Now that you refer to the movies, you have only seen ONE character. You're basing everything that we have or should not have on just that one character. That's awfully narrowminded of you. It's good that you atleast recognise that we have issues, which puts you well ahead of some of the people here who think or HAM balances things out when that itself is gimped due to the secondaries cap.

Yeah when it comes to wookies i base it on Chewbacca narrow minded? maybe Star Wars feel? Definatley. Id prefer to be narrow minded and play a game based on the expectations and feel from the film that to be so open minded that the film gets lost between the uber and nerf cries from people that want there Character to rule the Sever and dont give a stuff wether its a star wars game.

....this just in for the Zabrak.....

Feel free to base your logic on the film. Chewbacca did not wear armor. Glad you noticed. You know what else you should have noticed? Neither did Darth Maul.

Devs, please remove this man's ability to wear armor. Darth Maul didn't wear it while fending off 2 jedi. It's obvious in his logic that this is taking away from the "Star-Warsy" feel by allowing Zabraks to wear armor within the SWG environment.

Enjoy your day sir.

I don't honestly think that the Bowcasters you have seen suck because of having been made by Wookiees, I have seen some EXCELLENT Wookiee Weaponsmiths. I think they suck because the Bowcaster has lousy stats in SWG. But that is another issue entirely.

Wookiees would remain better at using Bowcasters, even if any Weaponsmith could make them, because only Wookiees have the Certification to use them. I don't expect, or see any possible reason, for that to change.

lol the formatting really chewed that last one up....sorry

Because Wookies get armor do the rest of the races get a few hundred more HAM?
