I agree with you. You'd think this would be the last thing they would want to change with JTL coming out soon.

how does it make sense, to anyone, that wookiees can rip peoples arms off and yet they cant even wear armor made of HIDE AND WOOD?
YES our armor had lower encumbrance than composite.... WHY you ask?
well for one, our armor is only 4 pieces. even at 4 pieces we couldnt put on a full suit unbuffed (with maxed secondaries at cap of 550 or whatever)
secondly, our armor is made of HIDE... and WOOD... both are lightweight materials and both are a pain in the you know what to get.
that's the tradeoff. our armor resources are painfully difficult to aquire (ESPECIALLY resources with decent quality) and as far as i know, they dont use much, if any, metal.
/thumbs down for wookiee armor nerf
/thumbs up for the rest of the patch
yes, one star me trolls. at least post your arguments if you're going to one star.

1. Everyone has to buff to put on their armor. Deal.
2. Huh? Composite AND ubese also require Hide, just like the wookiee armors do... and wood is just as easy to get as any other resource. You can use harvestors to gather it, and it's no more or less rare than any of the other resources needed to make high-end armor. The wookiee armors are no more difficult to make than Ubese or Composite.
And I didn't even one-star you.

as for the buffing to put armor on, my point is that our 4 pieces which dont cover full body shouldnt be as heavy as 9 pieces of metallic composite.
ok, pretty much all of the resources used in hunting armor are NAMED hides bones and woods. that reduces quality drastically and no the organics arent very easy to come by in large quantities.

I can only put on myComposite Chest Plate, Pants, Helmet and Gloves before I have to buff.
Composite also requires mostly named resources (including named hide)... and no, wood is NOT hard to come by in large quantities. It can be harvested by harvestors like any other flora. You survey for it, find it, and drop some harvs on it. Just like all the other easy to find stuff.

consider yourself lucky that you are not gimped from the beginning of the game. we wookiees have been gimped for almost a YEAR, while you can wear composite out of the bat. don't give me the reason that "you choose wookiee in the beginning knowing you can't wear armor," FYI, SOE changed that on their online documentation, when we complained.
we wookiees DESERVED the lovin that the devs are now giving us.

Huh? What does this have to do with anything I said? I AGREE it was lame that wookiees couldn't wear armor, and they definitely deserved the love that they've gotten so far. I never said otherwise.
I'm just correcting some misconceptions another wookiee has, that's all.

As said at the starport this morning (Dantooine Agro Outpost):
"FIve minutes, ten minutes, who cares? If you're playing trhis game, you have too much time on your hands anyway."
and then someone else said:
"Five minutes? Why don't they just hand out master badges and kryat weapons to everyone"
Word on the street from the common player: meh.
Must have only been forum people who cared.

Word on the street from the common player is... THANK GOD! Not "meh".
The rest of the stuff you published today is great... Just have to go hunting for a bunch of Named resouces again for the new Doctor Stuff....

you just proved my damn point, you put on the equivilent of wookiee hunting armor without needing buffs. chest/helm/pants/arms. and you play a bothan? how is it that a bothan seems to have more strength than a wookiee? besides, i said organics meaning hides not wood.

Decreased Starport times to 5 minutes?!?!
The devs have really messed up now.
Anyone who is happy about the 5 minute starport time really has no vision of the future at all. With 5 minute starport times, why will anyone charter a flight on a player-owned JTL ship? With 5 minute starport times, why will anyone ever use a shuttleport again? What happens when the devs implement their "faction dependent" starport times with the GCW revamp? When this new "faction dependent" starport system is implemented and starport times go back up above 5 minutes, there is going to be a serious backlash from the gamers.
I think the devs just dug themselves a grave with this change. Lets see how long it takes them to fall in it.
Negative.
