i completly agree, its stupid that we cant wear the same armor. even if we cant at least give us better stats, i can barely find a 60% kinetic suit. sure we have a stat bonus big deal, those additional stats are gone within a few seconds of a pvp fight. i too am a mbh wookie and i really want mado armor, its dumb that all races but ours can wear it. PLEASE devs, give a little love to your hairy friends
has a semi-retarded clone
. Which are you?"

A great day is nearly upon us my wookiee brothers and sisters. While the other 90% of the population celebrate the Jedi revamp, I wait anxiously for the dissemination of wookiee armor schematics. Does anyone have any info on what our new armor requires to construct?
On Armor Day, WOOK of Scylla pulled off a very succesful parade and dueling tournament and gave away a free set of Kashyyykian Ceremonial Armor to every wookiee that attended the event. 200 sets of armor were made. Nearly 70 sets were immediately distrubuted and the left overs have been sold to members of WOOK at drastic discounts since that day.
We would like to host a similar event (but probably not 200 sets of armor again) for the release of our new armor, but we cannot do so in a timely manner without the details of the precious schematics.
If somebody has made these sets on TC, please post or PM me with the details.

I'm glad to see the armor in TC. Thought the devs forgot about us or they were going to push back the release. Hopefully the stuff will be live in a couple of weeks. Would love to see some stat's and what the req's are. The armor looks great can we get a couple more angles of the armor in some more screenshots.

I'm not so sure about the third set, I dunno, I'll have to wait till I have my own in game before I make that decision. Of course, a lot of people don't like the look of composite but wear it for the protection anyway, so no doubt I'll wear it whether I like it or not, hehe.
The hunting armor? Yeah, gonna be getting a lot of use out of that from me, hehehehe. That looks sweeeet.
Anybody have some stats for us to gander at?

The original idea of wookie wookie was made so that wookies would not need armor, which gave the wookies a harder time fighting with the other species that could wear armor. The wookies now have ceremonial armor that makes them almost as tough as someone wearing composite armor because wookie have their natural protection plus a somewhat medium armor. If the armor gets too strong i might as well become a wookie and kill everyone. It's hard fighting a wookie right now with a good crafted wookie armor, at least for melee it is. A new wookie armor is a good idea, but don't take it too far to where everyone becomes a wookie to stay in the game.

Are you serious man? My Cerimonial armor has a light armor rating and the only good resists on it are 53% to Kinetic. The other resists are 17% to Energy and two other damage types. We don't have any natural toughness like you have stated, we do have 700 extra attribute points allocated to us but that makes no difference with buffs in the game. As a matter of fact we can't allocate all our extra points to mind because Aliens are not allowed to do that but humans are. Maybe you should actually try playing this game as a wookiee before commenting on it. It is obvious to me that armor dominates the game as I always fair much better in battle with my human wearing his composite than I do with my Wookiee wearing his wicker basket.

....I can't work out whether you're being sarcastic. I hope so, because your info is way off the mark if not. The only part of your post that I agree with is the last sentence, but I very much doubt the armour will get to a point where choosing a Wookiee is advantageous over other species.
Did someone mention that the new armour was on TC? If so, any chance of some stats please?

No offense to anyone's opinion, but I think it makes the poor guy look depressed. Either something needs to change or give the Wook some Paxil.
Also, what is the deal with the 3 things coming off of the head on both sets of armor?

The only thing ceremonial armor is good for is kinetic damage, the other resists are terrible. I personally can't wait for some good Wookiee armor for I haven't been able to really compete in pvp in 8 months since the introduction of composite to other species. I use every trick in the book too, doc buffs, food, synthasteak, double buff, brandie, PSG's you name it. However good pvpers all use this same stuff to complement their 80% resist composite so we really don't stand a chance as a wookiee. I can't wait to be able to pvp well again.
