I would also really like to see that the developers hear this outcry from the community. Edited February 16, 2012 by hiottsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukibritches Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Frankly I would hate Swtor If I had to read subtitles everytime I watched a cutscene. Its bad enough for some quests when we have to listen to random wookie sounds or something speaking huttese instead of basic. Jawas are not as bad, but I cannot stand wookie noises.

aznthecapn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 How many Jawas have you seen in the galaxy that wield lightsabers? Even George Lucas indicated there would be no more Wookie jedi. He'd get rid of the three that exist if he could. Some races just aren't made to be the classes in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArlindoGMNeto Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 BW need to look at the comunity requests. Here´s some of them: Bug fixes - yeah, they must get rid of those. Some gameplay restrictions: please STOP trying to make JEDI look like a MAGE. This ain´t WoW, so dont try and FORCE consulars to wear those ridiculous skirts. If i rolled a jedi, i wanna USE my lightsaber efectively, not just spam force powers. Yeah, i could roll a JK, but his animations are ugly as hell. (may as well fix those). Fix the graphic engine. I have a high end computer spec, who handles any games (mmos included) i throw at it, but as soon as i enter the jedi temple, bang! In short, know this BW: story can only hold the playerbase for so long. Most of us are SW fans, but that won´t stick forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a sizable minority who'd want to play Jawas, certainly. However, to suggest that this is a make or break thing for anything but maybe the tiniest number of people is ridiculous.

Drudenfusz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 They are going to need to abandon this "races must speak basic" nonsense. The community wants to play as iconic Star Wars races, not humanoids. I am a humanoid everyday of my life, I don't want to be one in a video game! Iconic Star Wars is to me that all main characters are human, so no other playable species needed there (more alien companions would be nice). Then there are many players who never play another gender than they are IRL (some even consider it perverse when players do play another gender then they are), so one could argue that quite a few of the community do not even need female characters (since most players are male). I am fine with almost human like species, just make more of them and give us more options to customize characters (including already existing ones).

hiottsw Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Personally attacking someone isn't a good response to a personal attack. Subjective opinion on morality and behavior norms in regard to argument. Your idea is bad and you should feel bad. Again, subjective. I can understand the arguments for and against use of other races such as Jawa, Wookie, etc. Most people are very concerned with the lore, others are concerned about the voice acting/armor/animations. Others feel it is simply not important at all. I tend to feel very strongly one of the most visually appealing aspects of other MMO's is the diversity of character models. I feel this could bring a lot to the table for this game. I appreciate everyone's input so far. Great discussions.

Inarai Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Problem is that it creates serious issues in terms of itemization and story - and not because they don't speak Basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not at this particular moment in time, but later on down the road what will drive the replay value of rolling the same class that looks exactly the same exact skin tone. As my own personal anecdote I was extremely disappointed with the race choices, perhaps moreso than any of the "bugs" that everyone seems to complain about that are common for post-launch MMO's. I am fairly vocal on the chat function in-game and I have come across many people that felt the same way. This is my attempt to bring our concerns to light, just as others relay their concerns. As for misleading, I will assume you are conditioned to certain topic titles that do not accomplish their task: to bring an audience for discussion.

Axvil Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I wouldn't mind playing as a Hutt Jedi Knight, preferably a sentinel with 2 sabers! If BW makes that happen, I will sub for life.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izorii Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Have to say my biggest concern is with species. and the lack of. Is this a major bug for most players probably not. And I am not event talking about Jawa or Ewok but just slightly more alien species. Maybe 10% - 20% are unhappy enough to quit because they are being forced to play a human. I would however suspect that a lot more would if given the option like more choice. For alts and different play throughs. The Q&A on 10/02/2012 seemed to suggest that no new species would be added via legacy to start with. However we may get more at a later date which I always read as "Stick around, Keep paying and wait maybe one day in the far far future you might see an alien species" Personaly I never trust promises like this seen to many MMO where content which has promised is still in the planning stage 6 months down the line. I support the idea of more species. And while the OP seems agressive in his claims quite often if you just post a sensible and well thought out post it vanishes from the first 10 pages over night. Some times a bit of agression is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
