I have a question. why should wookiees loose they're HAM bonus at all? Why do wookiees need to be balanced? How come we don't get to wear armor and keep our stats and rage on other players in PVP like they have done to us all along? When the devs give us armor why does the wookies race have to still be equal to other races? why can't we be more powerful and squash them?







lol


In other words what you are trying to say is, why can't we just have a Role-Reversal of how the game has been for the last 6 months.


Hmmm......sounds fair to me.

"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."



not quite...


the problem is that if ya cant find a bowcaster then there are about a million other weapons you can use


if ya cant find wookiee armor, then ur SOL

Hey ThunderHeart,


1. Is this armor going to have available sockets for AAs??


2. Is this armor going to be sliceable?


3. Are the resists caps going to be similar to other armors, but just with a higher encumberance, to neutralize our additional HAM??


4. Is this going to be a Wookiee only craftable item? (bad idea imo)



Thanks for all your support for the Wookiees.

I dont like how bowcasters are wookiee only, because on my server (shadowfire) I have yet to meet a good wookiee weaponsmith that can makea bowcaster worth using and if this carries over to wookiee armor, then there will be no point in it as it will either A) suck or B) be hard to find a wookiee to craft it at a good enough level

So you would like to see the Wookiee Armor Schematic given to regular Armorsmiths and the Wookiee Bowcaster Schematic give to regular Weaponsmiths? That I could get behind. While I do have a minor preference to do it the other way, at least this keeps it consistent, and that, CONSISTENCY, is the important thing.

most of the bowcasters that I have seen ingame suck compaired to other rifles (Im a rifleman in game) and I would hate for this wookiee armor to go the same direction because of limiting who can make it. I would be happy to support letting non wooks craft bowcasters (some how change it so that wookiees are still better at using them though) that way everybody can get one and it will be a decent weapon for once. I just hope the new armor isnt wookiee only on the crafting side.

Lack of Imagination!



answer me this. would a wookie be able to walk up to boba fett and rip his head off?


this would be suicide for an unarmored wookie or anyone else for that purpose.


the bow caster sucks? the bow caster is what it is. part of theWookies heritage. Nowhere is this weapon listed as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Please stop complaining about the Bow caster. i like it. when i have almost taken out an enemy i switch to the bowcaster and finish them off. thismakes me feel good.


i likewalking around holding the bow caster. this ispart of a wookies heritage and should proudly be displayed.i will not cover my wookies entire body in armor. let a human cover all his flesh like the weaklings they are.


now i do have to go out in groups to fight and that is because i cannot absorb massive hits from creatures. three hits from a Rancor and its over for me, hey, I dont have armor. this makes sense to me. i have stopped trying to do things that only armored people can do.


am happy to hear that wookies will be getting armor? Yes,but i started my character knowing thati could not wear armor and i will continue to play the wookie no matter what.Wookies be carefull what you are wishing for oryou just might get it.the devs can make it that the only difference between all races is the size and skin scheme. each race can things that the others may not be able to. this is parity. Missing in this grand scheme is an equalizer for the wookie.


one problem ispeople like to solo on missions. but working with groups oror 2-3man groups is the best way to play. with the right mixture of talent and brains a lot can get done.ihave a big feeling most peoplethat complain about notbeing able to kill everyone and everythingare complaining because they are always by themselves.


all that said, i do like the idea of getting armor. it will put wookies on more even ground or so we think.a quick thought. i just learned creature handling. the firstquestion i had was how many creatures can i use at once.ifx is the amount then, thesecond question was can i use three rancors at once.thirdly i finally thought, someon walking around with three rancors would be damn near if not completlyunbeatable by a single person.sadly i was informed that CH rules had been changed and using three rancors at one time was not possible.what might make this fun, a personPvPing with three rancors would likely attract a lot of enemies. instead of one person comming against saidCHM it would have to be a group of people.this would make things interesting.



i have been having fun playing this game. i dont see myself getting tired of it any time soon. what i am really looking for are groups going after imps instead of rancors and witches.



i did not get to proof read entire message hope it is understandable.

So, wookiees wearing armor kills the SW feel... Ruins the continuity and defiles the very meaning of Star Wars, crushes your hopes and dreams, crashes your car into a telephone pole, locks you out of your house at night and drinks allthe beer in your fridge.Riiiight. Well then maybe you should check the following Player Screenshots of the Day.

Jedi wearing full, heavy composite armor... Blasphemy. I'm sorry, but whenever someone complains about how uncool it is for wookiees to wear armor, this is the first thing that pops into my head. I don't even necessarily have a problem with Jedi wearing heavy armor, but that seems about 10 times more outlandish than to me than a wookiee wearing a suit of armor.


Amen to armor! Maybe now I canactually enjoy PvP.








Well even it is difficult to see a jedi imagine how hard it could be to find one without a full composite, maybe you could have some luck in an armorsmith shop before he gets it


About Wookies an Jedi in armor there is a good solo game out there KOTOR (oh did I just say that!)


Hmm... so in this one, Wookies don't have any armors, Jedi can but get some malus and this games feels SW a lot.


Even, I trust the artist they will hook up the Wookies with some nice armor(s)

Oh great, now wookies get armor too!!!. The armor in this game has gone unchecked as it is. Don't give wookies armor - NERF ALL ARMOR. After all,how many peoplebesides the Stormtroopers and a few bounty hunters did you see walking around looking like Robocop inthe movies?Even to add insult to injury -there's composite with statsgreater than 90%. Stats like that ruin PvP fun for everyone. You need an army to take down one person (e.g.: Monika on Intrepid server - a person who would rather play her swordsman than her Jedi because it was better in PvP).


How about making the game more fun for everyone instead of catering to one race.

I think we should have a Wookiee Armour Day celebration when they put this to live.
