Felioats Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 With enough Legacy levels: • Completing Chapter 3 with a class will unlock an ability from that class for all characters you own. Some of these are force abilities. • Getting to 50 with a species will unlock that species for all character classes on both factions, including force-using classes. • Getting a class to 50 will unlock that class buff for all of your characters on both factions. Some of these buffs are force abilities. Wookiees cannot be force sensitive. Ergo, there can never be playable wookiees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightmaguz Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Wookiees don't wear armour and clothes(except their ritualistic stuff) and don't talk as well, so uh, yeah it was pretty obvious? Furthermore a Wookie employed by the Empire when the only relationship I've seem them have between them was slavery is very odd.

Darth-Malice Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I would have liked Trandoshans. They can speak Basic if they want and have been known to be force sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amp_ Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 In a completely voiced MMO, were you ever really expecting to play a Wookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let Master Tyvokka hear you say that! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tyvokka I'll give you credit for being one of the few on those here asking for playable Wookiees to actually spell Wookiee correctly though Edited March 8, 2012 by tahyri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierthos Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm not seeing a problem with there being no playable Wookiees in the game..... but Wookies are AWESOME! Hey, I'm not going to be horribly broken up by it either, but it would have been nice. Sad thing is, this almost certainly means no playable Jawas either.

Son of Chewbacca and a jedi. Booyakacha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamEagle Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If I remember right..Lowbacca was Chewbacca's nephew...not son but point still taken.. a wookie jedi and who would not want to play a wookie?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmygo Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My apologies. I have a form of ocd that prevents me from being allowed to read a book that happened prior to another book in a series. I picked up the starwars books around "Legacy of the force" and they only hinted at lowbacca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look at the book list in the front of your current book and start again earlier in the timeline, maybe Truce at Bakrua if you're more interested in stuff that happens after ROTJ. The X-wing series in particular is fantastic! Yub Yub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungbutter Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Wookies use Ewok skin as armour. If you doubt me I'll sight the Chewbacca Defense!! Edited March 8, 2012 by Lungbutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHoltJHolt Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 To add wookiees they will have to make a new class and a new story with voice acting. It can be done. I would expect it in an expansion some time down the road if it were possible at all. They would have to have an imperial counterpart also, don't know which dark side species they would use to counter the wookiee. They could do it with ewoks and jawas also. Think expansion everyone!

davidpop Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) In a completely voiced MMO, were you ever really expecting to play a Wookie? In the future I can see a day where we would do a Trandoshan or Wookiee type story but it would have to be just that. Not a simple graphic swap where now your smuggler is a giant lizard man and nobody notices but a full class story where you learn what it means to be this strange alien and deal with the rest of the galaxy and their reactions. For the present, however, our heroes are our projections of self, headed into a galaxy of wonders and adventures. http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/15986-pax-daniel-erickson-clarifies-conversation-with But i guess you know better than Daniel.

I would say that Trandoshan would be a good imperial side counter to the wookiee, considering they are natural enemies from the books/lore.

Goretzu Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Which means GL won't allow anyone to create a Jedi Wookiee, even in the past.

Obi-Shinobi Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm a Wookiee IRL and I want to play one in a STAR WARS game. Another reason why this game isn't as fun as I hoped it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archifikoss Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sigh... Playable Wookiees were never an option, ever, and it won't happen unless they design them to be a totally separate class altogether in an expansion - and I doubt that will happen (though Wookiee Scouts for Reps and Trandoshan Slavers for Imps both starting on Kashyyk and with a warzone on the planet to boot could have been a very interesting prospect). Wookiees were DOA since the conception of the game as a fully voiced MMORPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiees were DOA since the conception of the game as a fully voiced MMORPG. Because we all know that in all of the dialogue scenes, there are never alien dialects accompanied by subtitles to read. Therefore there could never possibly be the same thing occurring again, ie. a character speaking an alien dialect with readable subtitles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
