When considering the upcoming patches in SWG a thought comes to mind...

Mob AI is being incresed, a creature will no longer just aggro the closest target possible, it will also attack:

*A person dealing much damage to it

* A person healing

Which makes it impossible to send in a mauler/other tank creature and just sit back and relax, making killing anything just a matter of time. This is in my opinion a good change and it will make the game harder and more challenging however...

Wookiees have no armor at all, as a wookie you will in the future not be able to deal a lot of damage or evenbe a good healer or you're dead. Getting Aggroed by a creature dealing a lot of damage you willbe down in a matter of seconds regardless of buffs, food, spiceor whatever you use. Master Rifleman? Forget it. Master CM? not a chance...

And with the nerf of pets, also this a good change again making the game more challenging, will make it virtually impossible to have it hold aggro while just doing a small amount of damage because the pet will be dead much faster than before.

Here is the idea: Implement Wookie armor.

If it is required to stay with character, ie wookiees being tribal, make wookiee armor craftable by natural resources only, voritor bone segments, krayt composite segments, rancor padded segments... But give us some armor or we will stand no chance when these changes go live.

Hope you all agree.

Maybe... i mean its not a bad idea and u guys do lose out in some ways. I like the idea of natural armour. But whether it'll ever happen i don't know, have u ever tryed using a good shield generator? Sure they break quick, but carry a few with you, and take some repair kits with you too. Hell buy a crate of both, it'll keep u alive longer.

I have crates of them, however they are bugged and don't help against kinetic most of the time.

Ok, now I'll sign... Maybe try for a partial armor, like 2/3 of what the Trando's get, or some wookiee jungle armor, with AR0 and 30-40% resists, but for getting full armor... Yeah, Sorry, but I don't see that happening.

All I know is that I'm tired of getting my ass handed to me whenever I try PVP. Wooks are at a true disadvantage, and buggy shields don't help either. Certainly, armor should be balanced bearing our bigger HAM in mind, but we need something.

What if they gave wookiees a set of natural resists? I mean if primative savages on Dantooine can have light armour and 50% resists why couldn't a player wookiee have 20-25% resists to kinetic and 10-15% resists on some other common stats?

And irony spits in my face as the second holocron says : bla bla bla Armor Smith

yeah I don't recall seeing a single wookiee armorsmith One of the perks of an armorsmith is testing your armor). I remember one guy trying to load kill me and got in a good 10-12 melee hits before I loaded and I was still alive and kicking, he said "nice armor" just before I killed him

I'm not much for petitions, as they are generally just a topic or thread to have an idea looked at, which isn't a bad idea. I just don't think that a "Petition to change soandso, please sign" works or is even really looked at by the powers that be. But, with that said...

Personal Shield Generators sound like they would be a great idea, but from my understanding they can change from day to day. Admitedly I have not used one,and I know I should before I even attempt to speak about them...

I am a wookiee, and I picked a wookiee knowing that I would not be able to wear armor. But I had not foreseen the quality of armor being made. I also did not foresee what a huge advantage that wearing armor is, especially to a melee profession. Little did I know... I saw a lot of wookiees around when I started the game, and I'm pretty sure that I see a lot less now. Although there could be a lot of reasons for that.

Wookiee armor, if made, could account for the larger stat pool that wookiees get; i.e. larger encumberance. Wookiee armor could also only fit on the places that wookiee clothes do, head, chest, hands (possibly bracers), and legs. No arms, or feet. Even the head could be thought about, as wookiees only wear hoods. Not even a real hat... And wookiee heads are kinda shaped funny, a big dome melon that runs right into those shoulders. Try and get a helmet to stay on that!

I know that character balance is the biggest issue with wookiee armor being implemented, and I don't think that there are any easy answers. But I would like to see somethingadressed about PSGs or wookiee armor.

/sign. Wookies need armor. Give them some kind of chain armor or something.

I say give the wookies armor. Make it craftable by the lower level armorsmiths so that we have a viable product to sell. Too many people want just advanced composite armor which you can't make until master. I end up just giving away all of my beginner armor to the n00bs who have just gotten the game. Give the lower level AS something to sell.

Hasn't it already been said new clothing/armor for wookies is under consideration?

Also, you'll have better luck on Gen disussion board than here.

As for me /sign

hey all I dont post too much here but do often on Tempest...

You know that wookies can wear RIS....my friend had a wookie wear a helm....Ill post pic when i get him to wear it again..
