Thread: Wookiees and ithorians unite in protest!!!
I am so PO'd
And I was when I made original post. I'll find that thread again where TH said that and post a link.
Standby please.
OK found it. It's in the Friday feature for Oct. 21st
Page 9 and 10 is where TH replies about the Taming Necklace.
You can go to the FF and read it for yourself but I will post TH's replies here. While he doesn't directly say "No the necklace cannot be worn by wooks and ithorians" the intent is perfectly clear. Read it and weep.
This is what he said:
Wookiees and Ithorians don't generally get new wearables. Sometimes at first, sometimes not at all. Both Wookiees and Ithorians require additional modeling. I'm sorry not everything is available to you if you are one of these species, but body shape and character customization have a pretty big effect here.

Sorry, but I HAVE to call BS on this, at least as far as Wookiees are concerned--if a Trandoshan can wear it, it shouldn't require any other (or at least not any major) re-modeling for a Wook to wear it.
For the sake of discussion, that's not exactly true. One thing to keep in mind is that the full range of body customizations has to be considered. The tallest, fattest, etc. Both ends of the spectrum have to be considered and Wookiees can be taller and bigger. Especially in their chests and necks.
To keep the scale as true as possible to the relative scale of the various species, Wookiee and Ithorian avatars are a real design challenge.
FWIW, wearables have to made for the majority of the players first. If there is time later on down the road to add any, I'm sure it can be considered.

I would protest but then I remeber how long it took them to let us wear armor. I also look at the extra grind you need to do just to grow a pet now and realize they do not have the balls to just delete the profession they are takeing the cowards way out by screwing ch every chance they get. Remeber opooins are like azzholes we all have one and I do not care if anyone agrees with me.
yah they should of came up with an option to get wookiee wearable reward items
sorry wooks i feel ya
If it is true that Wookiees and Ithorians cannot wear the master taming necklace...
Then this needs to be rectified at once.
Here's an idea.
Let's err on the side of caution.
Give Wookiees and Ithorians level 80 skills without a necklace. Let's see how THAT flies?
So make wookiee and Ithorian ONLYwearble loot to balance it out. Can't see why Wookiee necklaces/robes or Ithorian necklaces/robes can't drop.
Don'treallyunderstand why they even made player species that can't wear stuff that others can wear.
I love being a wookiee and the fact that it is more challenging to be one, but really this is an easy fix. My alt is a CH and is a wookiee and it doesn't seem fair that he willbe less effectivecompared to other species of CH's just because his artwork won't allow it.
I am wondering what the problems is with developing a game that gives a fair chance for everyone. It just doesn't seem that hard to me, but maybe I am wrong.
If my main wookiee can wear a padawan robe with boots, why can't he equip other stuff?
