Just to be sure, I took my ranger after the giant langlatch and the giant fanned rawl. Nope, nothing special for the rangers like I was hoping C'mon with the trophy heads already.

Thanks Thunderheart.

No, really.

We really wanted 3 new backgrounds and some half baked creatures that took the imagination of a 80 year old man to make.

Can't wait for the next disapoi- i mean FF.

well...devs have their orders from higher grounds..so dont blame them directly..blame SOE in general....and especially thier marketing team...

The effort is really nice, but adding giant and small versions of existing creatures in the same old shells really isn't doing much for adding new creatures.

I was in a book store recently and ran across a book called "The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide" by Terryl Whitlatch, Bob Carrau.

I expected to open it and see little pictures of all the different things I see in SWG. Instead there were dozens of new things that have never been in game. Things that would be a great addition.

There is all kinds of this stuff at https://www.starwars.com/databank too. And its not just creatures either. It's characters, ships, droids, creatures, all kinds of material. You guys could give your creative people a week off, and just pull ideas from here. It's already Star Wars, all you have to do is put it in.

It's frustrating when you guys add stuff to the game that feels kind of half way done. There are so many things that can be so much better. I've done CH and BE and having the same creatures on so many planets with slightly different appearances but basically the same skin is kind of a let down. (I don't have the spellings but) Fambaa/Torton/Macloc; bageraset/falumpaset/gurnaset; huf dun/guf drolg/bol/bolma? etc.

The greater dragon actually submerges itself in the shifting sands, and can use its ten powerful limbs to swim through the dunes.

Nice job, but one question, What happened to the other 6 limbs?

And if they can be sighted anywhere, why are they mainly in the graveyard, as that is where the older ones go when they know they are going to die?

Ok, thats 2 questions.

Hehe, not only are they putting in lame new content but they need to rip off Dune to even get any ideas

---

Was that the worm thing they carted in?Been a while since I saw or read Dune

But it was also stated in the "critters of Star Wars" book I was reading at barnes and noble last year. I didn't think of asking until I just saw the feature.

I agree wholeheartedly!!! I'm also frustrated with the fact that so many of the creatures/ships/locations/characters that have already been created for the Star Wars Universe aren't in the game yet. I'm not against the devs creating new things that have never been seen before, but I get much more excited when I see something that I've read about in a novel, seen in a movie or comic book. That's the kind of stuff that makes me feel like I'm part of this universe.

Em, not to be a wag, but are the Aged Kimogila and Dwarf Kimogila supposed to have the exact same statistics?

Kimogila dwarf - CL 139, ferocity 0, force/dizzy, 20% medium armor, SP 35% kinetic, 80% energy/heat, 100% acid
Aged kimogila - CL 139, ferocity 0, force/dizzy, 20% medium armor, SP 35% kinetic, 80% energy/heat, 100% acid

They even seem to be the same physical size. Granted your bestiary doesn't actually assert that the dwarfs are smaller, just that they are "what some hunters are calling 'Dwarf Kimogilas'."

Maybe some hunters have confused vocabularies, and also reported the pygmy veermoks. These kimogilas are Dwarfs In Name Only. Which shortens to DINO, so that sort of fits.

And yeah, please, enough with telling us where everything is. In-game clues -- good. Waypoints -- bad. Not sure why this is still happening.

I agree , but remember that in the About Friday Features thread we have plenty of people asking for complete tables of where and from whom all the loot items can be found. There is an outspoken playerbase here that wants everything handed to them so they can get back to complaining that there's nothing to do as quickly as possible. If we want anything left as an exercise to the player, we have to be equally outspoken.

Hey Devs! Part of the fun of this game, or any game, is gradually figuring out how to succeed at it. Point us toward the prizes and let us find our own way.

Though I'll admit I'd love to read the "How 30 Super Battle Droids in one small Corvette room can be fun" design document that apparently exists somewhere.
