Man, this thread can really get the wookiee blood boiling with all the smack talk about what we should get and what we shouldnt get.....


Why can't ppl just realize we don't want to be super uber head and shoulders above everyone else? We just want to be on the same level playing field as everyone else. Thats it, thats all.....just comparable to everyone else playing the game. We're not asking for special advantages.

Sett'bacca,


I agree that Wookies need help but not in this fashion. SOE is going to do what it has always done - make one race/class too uber then nerf them and start the process all over again with someone else. In thethe players frustration, they hang on a few more months with promises to make things better. Is this not true? There is a great quality in this game that lacks in other RPG's and that's the PvP portion of SWG. Instead of exploiting it on SOE's part, they nerf it until even the hardiest PvPer hates the game now. I say nerf all armor and lower everyone else to the Wookie. Who cares if the Wookie starts out at a slight advantage over other starting characters? Not me and I play a human.

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.

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.

That is one way of solving the problem, but it would never work. All the races who have had armor would scream endlessly about not having it any more. I cannot conceive of a way the devs could convince people that it was for the best.


As for everyone looking the same - I agree. I promise to only wear armor (assuming I get it) when I need to (krayts, Geo Cave, etc).

This is a set of armor from a recent auction on my server's trade forum. How again are we supposed to be balanced against this with 700 extra HAM and 2K buffs? Just give us armor with the ability to have the same resists and add 233 to each encumbrance pool and call it even.

Where did it say that Wookiees are gonna lose HAM? The armor is probably not gonnabe very strong. As for full sets...Im sorry, but a Wookiee in a full set of armor would look just plain wrong. Dont get me wrong Im for Wookiees getting armor, but..it just looks a little freaky when you picture it. I doubt thats gonna happen though, because if it did Trandoshans wouldbe pissed (more)because they cant wear gloves or boots.

Wow, something must be wrong with your PSG. I have been wearing my PSG inconjunction with my padded armor since December. My PSG has only gone down by nearly 1/4 of its condition. At that rate, it will out last my padded armor.

Wouldnt it make more sense to wait on this until after episode III, which is supposed to feature a battle on kashyyyk, and make feature some armored wookiees?

May I first say "uh! happy dance! uh!".

And then sayI think the obvious (and logical) solution is to have higher encumbrances on the Wookiee Armor to compensate for our extra HAM costs, as several people have mentioned. Of course, we're tremendous, so armor crafted for us would naturally not need to be lightweight paper armor. If Wookiees choose to wear armor, they will need to migrate their stats to secondaries where the extra 600 or so points are made up for while wearing armor, and when armor is removed, Wookiee's retain their statistical advantage asWookiees are meant to.


That being said, should this prove too difficult, the complete removal of our HAM bonus coincident with our ability to wear armor would be acceptable to almost all wookiees, I assure you. And the rest are madclaws.

As a non wookie i must say that i think wookies definatly should have armor, in what form that should take im not sure, i dont see wooks wearing gloves and boots (cant use your climbing claws) maybe some kind of shoulder pad chest plate combo made of hi tech/qaulity leather and light metals, what stats should it have agin im not sure, i dont think it will be as good as current humaniod armor, i see it as being low ham but maybe 40-50% protection for a top end set, enough to make a serious diffrence, with the new ham changes crafting changes, and hopefully nerfing of armor and buffs the wookies raw ham advantage will become more of a boon again.


The diffrence between having the worst junk 3% kinetic set of mabari and no armor at all is huge so any armor is going to be a bonus but i think it will be implemented with the upcoming changes in mind so may not be that great in comparison to current top end armors, but sets of it will become less and lesscommon eventually meaning wookies will be a on a more even standing with the other races.
