Hey guys, I've had my toons on the Bastion since forever. But it seems to be a ghost town recently. I think most people moved over the Harbinger. I was just curious if people felt it was worth it? (since it's back up to 1000CC to move servers).I played for 4 hours today and not once did PvP pop. It's absurd. Thanks guys! Cheers!

I think mourngrim's issue that that the Devs seems to be saying one thing and doing another. They suggest that there are not truly new races because they would need add so much content to allow for the player to experience what it's like to be an alien. BUT they are adding different species to each side (which should experience some issues) and have revealed no new content for totally altering story lines to account for this. I will grant that this is an assumption. For all we know there have been dialogue changes to account for these changes (though given the devs track record I very much doubt this). And if these changes haven't been made there is absolutely no reason not to include more species. I also take issue with the culture shock idea. Perhaps an argument could be made for restricting species on the imperial side because they are xenophobic (though this didn't seem to stop them using bounty hunters to find Luke). And if it's true that there is already dialogue to account for this xenophobia for imps then minimal if any changes would be needed. And on the Republic side there are so many NPC's that aren't human that the shouldn't be an issue as obviously the Republic embrace these species without reservation and put them in positions of power.

I think the point of this thread was to discuss the reasoning behind not including ANY new playable species. Instead of just focusing on the wookiee example... which we all agree presents some very unique challenges... I think we are really discussing the decision to not include species that have already been placed in the game (i.e. Mon calamari, torgruta, kel dor, nautolan, cathar, transdoshan, etc). If the only reason was "we didn't want to spend the time redoing the helmets" then I say fine... Don't redo helmets. Most of the species are humanoid they wouldn't require any other major gear modifications and Twi'lek head-gear issue don't seem to stop people from playing them I don't see this as a valid argument. I wouldn't hesitate to play one of these characters now knowing that somewhere down the line we'd see new gear. Just my thoughts. Cheers!
