They even mis-spelled Wookiee in the Friday Feature. It's Wookiee, not Wookie. Wow, you know they hate us when they don't even know how to spell our name.


This game is truly a joke in many respects. There's nothing serious about any of it. There's no intense battles or iron-fisted Imperial actions taking place. The game has no purpose...and what's more sad, is the Devs don't have any idea where they're going with this game.


HEY DEVS, PLEASE INFORM US, THE PAYING CUSTOMERS, WHAT YOUR VISION OF SWG IS! IS IT WICKER BASKETS AND TEA PARTIES OR STAR WARS?

OMG why are the wookies getting armour?????????? I thought the idea was to create a star wars universe............. a universe in where wookies would HATE there fur being covered up, and would probably rip your head off for trying to dress them!!!!!! I think the way it should have been done is to make wookies naturally stronger, but resistant to things like heat.


p.s. if we all make a character,stand outside theed starport and say WE WANT OUR JEDI CHARACTER! will we get it?

Guys, this is just concept art. Concept art almost always looks funny. Take a look at some of the concept art for Zabaraks and you'll know what I mean. Granted, this piece of art can really keep you laughing for minutes, but it is still just concept art.

Atleast wait till they put up in-game screens in a week or so before jumping to the conclusion that we will look like clowns.

Also, what is up with some of you'll saying that we get no love. Yes it's been a looooong time and this should have happened ages ago. However, the degree of communication that we've had on this issue is greater than anything i've ever seen in this game.

For once the devs have actually LISTENED to what we've had to say and are implementing it. Just because the armor looks funny in the concept art doesn't mean that some of you have to start whigning and about getting no love. Let's just see what it looks like in the in-game screens before dismissing it.


Are you whining about people who whine about not liking it?





No, I am simply suggesting that they postpone their whigning till a later date

hehe. I actually LIKE it. Just a question..Who will make it? Any armorsmith? Any artisan (similar to Bone armor, which is what it looks about even with)? or just wookie artisan/armorsmiths?


too bad my Twi can't wear it, hehe. I guess I'm just bizarre...I actually think it looks neat.



No I don't have a freakin sig. Just make something up and pretend it's here man. woman. umm...Whatever.

actually though it looks a lot better then ris armor, the ris helms look like a 3 years project with a frisbee and a gasmask.

Keep in mind, he said this is one of the weaker suits. IE-Bone/Mabari/Chitin, etc. This is essentially the junk stuff. Decent for low level mobs, not much else. You're also forgetting a samurai's armor could stop sword blows as well, and it was made mostly from reeds with metal in strategic places, much like this suit. It would probably have decent kinetic, and that's about all I'd think. As for taking organics, it's wookie gear. they tend to stick to natural materials. not because they're primitive, quite the opposite actually. They simply want to keep things as natural as possible, out of a respect for nature and their environment. Which is less harmful to the environment in general, killing a few deer for bone and hide to make armor, or running a smoggy factory burning and refining chemicals and metals for a few months? I hope they do make it so that no wookie armor uses factory parts. It would go against their supposed culture to use too much refining and such.


Also..it looks like it would use wood, rather than bone. that can be gotten from a flora farm, rather than harvesting. Although, if it follows trends, it will take bone

Man, I saw the concept drawing and I think it blows!!! It looks like my wicker waste basket in my bathroom!!! I agree it should be made out of metals and simple materials, BUT COME ON GUYS!!! And as far aa I have read on the Wookiee home world most of those creatures would tear through that armor. That is why Wookiees do not live on the surface. The Devs and the artists need to do a better job of designing the armor.Even with Wookiee gear, wich is already a limited wardrobe as it is. I would rather they make our existing gear with an armor rating and add a few pieces like bicep, forearm/gaunlet, armored waist wrap (something like the romans wore), upper and lower leg armor that will not cover the feet and may be a new helm (kind of a half visor thing built into it). Even bone armor styling would be cool too. Come on Devs please don't make us the laughing stock of STWG!!!!

Obviously from the tone of the majority of posts this is one reason why devs SHOULD NOT give into the whines of one class/species in a game. You guys wanted armor now you got it and you all cry that it doesnt look cool enough. Egads this all falls along the lines of "I got pwned by someone my template should be uber l337 nerf everyone else so I can be happy and be a god.."


Once again I will say that Idearly hope that this will be a wookiee craftable schematic only. Not tradeable or anything else. If its something ONLY the wookiees can wear then ONLY wookiees should craft it like the bowcaster,

I am Perfectly happy with wearing my regular wookiee battle gear. It's the same thing as everyone else WHININGabout , "Oh they nerfed my defense stacking so I can't be UBER indestructable anymore" Everyone whines about something that only affects them. Why can't wookiees whine too? I went up against someone in PVP who was wearing Composite armor, actually it was 4 master commandos that went up against this guy and we all used flamesingle2 and it didn't even scratch him but when he fired his frigg'in flamethrower at me I took more than half damge and had a DOT. So tell me if that wouldn't make you whine a little MR.COMPOSITE WEARING PLAYER!!!! why you gotta put your two cents in if you don't have a wookiee? And make us wookiees sound like we cry all the time? we just want some armor is that not fair COMPOSITE MAN? BUT I SURE AS HELL AM NOT GONNA GO OUT IN A BATTLE FIELD AND BE LAUGHED AT BY MY ENEMIES!!!! LETS LEAVE THE WICKER IN THE BATHROOM GUYS AND NOT ON THE BATTLE FIELD!!!!


Thank you and sorry for all the yelling and rudeness
