Any thoughts on this topic? I find itboth ironic andfunny that the resources to make Wookiee armor don't even include items from their home planet! (like some sort of organic wood or something). Yes, I understand that the devs wanted to push the armor out to the community, and I think that was a good thing. But how do they, the devs, or will they, incorporate the new Kashyyyak expansion with the current wookiee armor?
Maybe they can have loot drop similar to padded armor segments or krayt comp segments that only drop from high-end creatures and are used exclusively in Wookiee armor? Or maybe they will have resources found only on Kashyyyak that can be used only as Wookiee armor-specific enhancements, to lower HAM, raise base%, etc. Or maybe they will introduce another 1-2 sets of Wookiee armor? Who knows.
Just an amuzing situation I think they have put themselves in with this new expansion pack.

It would be easy for the devs to add some wookie armor enchancements that can only be looted on Kashyyyk.
Hard to tell about more wookie armors. I doubt though they add some more in the near future. The current wookie armors will be put one in each class after the CURB so the need to add further wookie armor is kinda small.

One thing to consider is that if they make the armor use some res from kashyyyk and it's not an optional component you force AS's to buy the expansion just to make armor. I do not think that will happen, perhaps if they introduce some new wookie armor with the expansion but not for any old one.
But looted enhancements are very likely I think.

It shall be a glorious day!
Well, since the wooks will not be able to participate in the faction armor handout, it would be nice to see a few drops from Kashyyyak that are wook armor specific.

I hope that we can get new loot drops by killing wookiees
whenever I am too bored and need to kill something fun, I slaughter a few ewok villages......I can't imagine how fun it would be to see the bigger furry beasts go down

It would make the most sense if Kashyyykian woods, bones, and hides could be used in the corresponding places. The resources would likely have different gates. So for example, where Dathomir and Yavin evergreen are both High in MA and OQ, but low in UT and SR; Kashyyy Evergreen might be High UT and OQ, Med SR, and low MA. Could really expand the variety by skewing thegates a little.Itwould alsobe a good oppurtunity to ease some of the hassle of hunting current wookiee armor resources (i.e. Naboo Wooly) Or make some better stats but far more difficult to find (i.e. Dant. Avian).
I don't think there will be another suit of wookiee armor, but judging from the few shots of wookiees in the upcoming movie it wouldn't surprise me to see a few new random "pieces". Somewhere in between the Tailors "Battle Padding" and Armorsmith "Padded Armor" that can be worn in pieces as alternates to current things. Essentially allowing separation of the chest, head, shoulders, waist/thighs, lower legs. The downside to it would clearly be less protection. But, it would cultivate the new "look" of the wookiees better and offer an alternative to cumbersome Huge Domed helmets.
Judging from the new weapons previewed so far there will likely be a small smattering of various species specific items entering the game with the expansion. That they mention "rodian hunters" and "trandoshan slavers" backs this up. Its an easy way to toss all crafters a little something something. Armorsmiths should be no different in this.
Hehe... Wookiee RIS.

I would really like it if (like shipwright) there were a few style choices.
As for making everyone buy the expansions, it will happen at some point. As I read that after the next movie SWG will be selling SWG/JTL/wookie exp. as a single product. I would not be surprised if JTL was required, or have they already said something about it?

it is COMFIRMED that all species will get new armor with the CU and/or RotW (Rage of the Wookiees)
although they probly will have at least one set of wookiee armor come out with RotW
(like a lost type of wookiee armor only found on the wookiee planet)
but im so pumped becus the CU is coming up near the same time as RotW
