Let's first wait for them to deliver what they promised 4 MONTHS AGO !

Any new weapon can wait for the Combat Rebalance. In fact they SHOULD, otherwise it's gonna be double work for the devs, and everyone knows howunsatisfying the result will be...

that looks much cooler in game, i just hope you guys can make them a kinetic specialized one (like ubese) and a ranged fire one (composite). one thing i wanna see also is having every race has speicialized armor, or at least letting Trandoshians have some armor where they can wearboots and gloves.

Just wanted to pop in for a bit and comment on the Wookiee armor concepts.

Let me start by saying that the inclusion of Wookiee armor was a direct response to the player base (well, the Wookiee players, anyway) asking for such armor. We also felt that Wookiees could benefit from Wookiee-specific armor. Unfortunately, there wasn't a huge amount of reference for full armor suits for Wookiees, but we did have some direction and guidance from Lucasfilm, who approved the final design. As JustG noted, the armor does look very different (i.e. cooler) when translated into the game, but I think even the concept art captures what we know about Wookiee culture and engineering. I feel strongly that it fits into the continuity and the Star Wars universe and hopefully, once you see it in-game, you'll agree.

I'll add that there are two additional concepts that were just approved today by Lucasfilm. We'll work on getting those up for you to check ASAP.

My concerns are

reports of stat shifting on the bracer

From what i see there is little/no documentation of what the armor SHOULD be doing

We would like to know what the maximum values of resist can be (even if these values change, just keep us upto date)

What each armor is comparable to (ie composite, ubese, bone)

The timeline to get the first wookiee armor onto live (each day that passes is another day wookiees suffer. this is just to give us hope)

More documentation the better. Because then the players on the TC dont have to guess what you guys intended.

Well you could have made a wookie only PSG or even make the armor look like wookie fur with new paterns.

Any chance we will see some of the armor in the new movie?

Thanks for stopping by, Shug, you should do it more often.

So you are saying 3 kinds of armor since you said two additional ones?

I can hardly wait to see the new armor in game. i may need to create a wookie character just to try it out.

Thanks very muchly! It truly is appreciated. I'm sure I speak for all the wookiees we await eargerly for the new armour to roll out. While the 'ceremonial armour' looks a bit silly, I'm just glad we're getting something.

I just await all the haters now to come post about how unfair this all is, etc. Probably from both sides. *grin*

Either which way, /salute

I would like to see Wookie armour incorporate furs and woven materials. I would also love to see Wookie specific bandoliers that held possibly 20 items. I have a Wookie on Sunrunner, and I'd loke for him to look more like Chewie.

Also, the Wook armour shown looks vaguely like samurai armour, especially the helmet.

sounds good.....

btw, i like the lucasarts aura that comes with posts like these.... i think we should have comments/info from the lucasarts rep's a bit more.... the playerbase (and i) get a little anxious sometimes about whether or not "lucas would approve" of issue A, feature B, content C, etc when we only hear from SOE people. It's probably just a phobia but nonetheless, LucasArts represents something more to us.

I thought the in game screens of the Wookie armor looked a lot better than the concept drawings did.
