Thread: Shoes and Gloves for Trandoshans??
Attention Devs - Petition Signed
OK, all joking aside, if a Dev could read this there is a pretty simple fix. The reason Tranny's get so bent out of shape (And I don't play them) is that a good set of gloves and boots can hold several SEA's.
- We all know that each race had several perks and such, maybe a little extra this or that in stats when the game launched.
- We also know that this game is an entirely differnt game than it was at launch, (buffs - stat migration - to name a few, are different)
- We all know there are some uber SEA's out there.
I forget the slot limit on boots and gloves, is it four (4) slots? I may be wrong just for the sake of the argument, lets pretend that it is four (4). You can subtract from my math later. That is eight more other players. So in PVP the other players have the advantage of eight (8) more killer attributes that any Tranny cannot match.
For example: (For the sake of arguement, lets just pretend that someday, in a galaxy far far away, the DEVS will actually fix ALL SEA's and their attributes so that they actually work)
Let's pretend that a Tranny Jedi is in PVP mode with another non-Tranny Jedi
Non-Tranny Jedi Boots
Force Accuracy: 25
2H Saber Accuracy: 25
Force Power Max: 25
Defense Vs. Blind: 25
Non-Tranny Jedi Gloves
Defense Vs. Dizzy: 25
Bleeding Resistance: 25
Defense Vs Knockdown: 25
Defense Vs. Stun: 25
-VS-
Tranny Jedi Boots and Gloves
(no boot or glove SEA spaces)
OK OK. This is a hypathetical deal so shut-it on the defense that "You'd never get that many great SEA's. There are great SEA's out there and if you don't believe me look at the trade forums and do a search for SEA's in all the trade forums. There are tons of UBER SEA's out there. Now, with all other things being equal, which jedi do you think would win, the Tranny or the Non-Tranny?
Most likely the Non-Tranny. The game is in HIS/HER favor.

Attention Devs - My Fix
In just about every MMORPG I've played, and some by SOE in fact, there have been racial items. Items worn by a certain race only. Heck, there are items worn only by classes at all.
So at any rate, it's a little easier apparantly to work in an item that say only one race can wear, as apposed to trying to figure out how to make boots and gloves fit the large Tranny appendages.
Make a Racial Belt or Hat (or you pick another item that they currently CAN wear), for Tranny's only that adds the extra eight (8) slots. Or at least the possibility for a Tailor to experiment for up to eight (8) extra slots. Making it a Racial Item would be easier for the DEVS that apparantly either have a huge work-load, or like 90% of the other people in the game when it started, have quit.
Attention Devs - My Summary
This game has stepped on the Trannies for a long time. I do not play one, nor do I have a desire to since they have to lay on highways at night to keep warm which we all know is dangerous. But it seems to me to make it a little more Racially balanced in the game you DEVS could easily fix this. Probably one or two little lines of code. Then maybe some people would actually play the toons a bit more and it could be Racially balanced.
The game will never be too real. Realism is out the door, put something over your boxers, spray on some deordant, and step outside for realism. Be careful that you don't knock over your pee bottle. If the game was real, we wouldn't be able to carry a backpack with 79 guild halls and like another 50 in a sub-bag. Boy, I'd think one would be heavy. All the Trannies want is a little equality. I think boots and gloves just wouldn't look correct on them, is why I suggested the above.
Vote Yes for Tranny SEA Slots - October 2005
Yeah! What Nomi said. *points up*
I haven't been to Avatar yet so didn't know they wore boots and gloves there.... how much easier can it get? Models are already in game, make them player craftable.

The Trando's on the avatar wear boots, and i think gloves. This is maybe something the Tailor coro' could ask the devs for, a schematic to make the already existing trando boots.
Good idea. I started a post here http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=tailor&message.id=63708

I saw this Trandosh 1 time wearing Clone Armor with the boots on, his feet were all like 1 foot perfectly in a boot & the other 1 like meshed in the boots so you see slats of white boot/green foot/white boot/ green foot, then if you walked around this guy, his feet would magically shift in & out of the boots.
It looked ridiculous, lol. SWG programmers are so not on the ball...
