NoaFlux Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Cathar is awesome. This was igniting lots of hope for SWTOR. Than comes the video....it's not a REAL Cathar it's just a human with Cathar body paint. BOOOO. Now my firends won't come back to play. Take your time and fix this Bio Ware. I'm getting scared. Maybe I will have to go to that other game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticDynamite Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I agree was excited to hear about it and then I see the video and it looks like a someone just left a carnival (face/body paint parlor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsugetsuka Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 They're going F2P remember? So of course it's going to be half-assed unless it's being put in the cash shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanikk Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Is this for real? If so that's really pathetic. Did they fire all their artists or what? Nobodys going to be subbing for this game if the quality is going to be this ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) They already have Cathar models in the game....would they not be based off those same models? I just looked at the video that has the playable cathar in it....definitely not just a human with facepaint. They aren't far off from humans, but they kind of have to stick to a similar model for them to work with all the class animations/voices. I don't know if we'll ever see something like a Trandoshan playable. My only concern though, is that you won't get to pick any hairstyles other than the current ones....rather than the shaggy manes the NPCs have. Bioware...we need more hairstyles anyway...please give us more hair options, lol. Edited August 17, 2012 by chuixupu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkais Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well I hope it was half-assed just for the demo video, and the actual faces will look more like Cathar. They have to do something before the update launches anyway... I hope they are hard at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionflash Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Cathar Picture I don't see the problem? There have been 2 videos with cathar being shown and this one looks quite a bit different. Maybe the Cathar smuggler looked too much like an 'Assimilated Cathar', where as the one in the pick above looks quite different. But if the Smuggler was a Cathar I'm sure he'd trim up his stuff too. Most recent Cathar Picture He seems to have pointy ears and a cat-esk nose. Maybe I'm not familiar with what Cathar are supposed to look like... Another Cathar Picture. They look like Human/Cat crossbreeds and it shows I guess...iuno, maybe i'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsakenKing Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If they dont look like clowns, i'll make one. If they do however, that is just one more thing for me to qq about.

criminalheretic Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Not to get all fanboy, but I would be surprised if that is in the only face model available for the race, I'm sure (hope) it's just one of many, and at the very least you can make one that looks like the many NPCs already in the game.

ElitehunterDS Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) *Spoiler* You can Customize your character look when starting a character! Wait you thought they had 1 face type? Tattoo (or Fur "design")? Edited August 17, 2012 by ElitehunterDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoaFlux Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Maybe there is some confusion on my part. I watched some Youtube videos and MANY CATHAR HAD FUR. Than I realized...I guess when you customize the Cathar...you will be able to add hair (mane) and facial hair/whiskers..etc Let's hope this is where the confusion comes from. I'm just worried we won't be able to customize much. When you throw a mane and whiskers in the mix Cathar actually stand out and look more unique Edited August 17, 2012 by NoaFlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SveinEternity Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I actually like the Cathar in the clip. Keep in mind thats not the ONLY costomization.... I mean I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellbirdIV Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 it's not a REAL Cathar it's just a human with Cathar body paint. Actually it has all the model points that existing Cathar have in the game already, Flat nose, pointed ears, sloped forehead. The difference is that its skin/fur/whatevs is unique rather than the same reddish brown+tan combo that all the in-game Cathar have. In other words, this thread was pointless.

iamthehoyden Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 As others have pointed out, the bone structure in the video is the same as the other Cathar models in the game, including Jorgan - flat nose, pointed ears. I'd be willing to put money down on lots of customization options in terms of designs on the face, hair styles, etc. (and I don't gamble). I distinctly remembering reading a dev post in which they talked about not having Voss as a race because they only have two head types and players need more customization options than that. I seriously seriously doubt that you'd be stuck with "clownish" facial markings (although I kind of like them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoaFlux Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I guess the "mane" on some Cathar makes their heads look bigger. Cause some of their head seem bigger...making them look more unique and less human. Edited August 19, 2012 by NoaFlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will have to go to that other game... The other playable species in the game are also "humans" with twilek, zabrak, chiss body paint. If you're talking about a distinct voice for the Cathar, I don't think that's possible. What else do you want for a new specie?
