Urael Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hmmm ... I guess EAware may be doing "holiday" events afterall. From Darthhater: Wookiee Life Day Coming Darthhater: After updating our DB yesterday with all of the current items included in the PTS patch, we discovered a few items worth covering on their own beyond the Cartel Market. One of these happens to involve a Star Wars-centric holiday event called Wookiee Life Day. You can see the items for the event ( well read .. no pics as of this posting ) at the link above.

CthulhuRyleh Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 but why Wookiee's? And it said that they celebrate it every three years, so does that mean we will only get this holiday every third christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgoldsack Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 but why Wookiee's? And it said that they celebrate it every three years, so does that mean we will only get this holiday every third christmas? Because it is how it was done in the Star Wars Holiday Special.

LukeSaberRattler Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The real question is will they add Kashyyyk to the game for this!! Would love to go celebrate with the Wookies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goretzu Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Hmmm ... I guess EAware may be doing "holiday" events afterall. From Darthhater: Wookiee Life Day Coming You can see the items for the event ( well read .. no pics as of this posting ) at the link above. They can't possibly keep up with one-off events, it's too much developement for a very short pay off (as 2 events in 12 months shows), holiday event were IMO inevitable eventually.

Drudenfusz Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I didn't liked the Star Wars Holiday Special and think that the Wookiee Life Day is a stupid idea, but I like holiday events in MMOs, so bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday events are usually recycled from year to year. They are still fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goretzu Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Holiday events are usually recycled from year to year. They are still fun. Yeah that's what I mean, they can build them once and use them again and again (and maybe add to them). MMORPGs do things for a reason (like holiday events or day/night cycles), being different isn't always feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they keep them "Star Wars" themed. I would like to see some sort of "Veterine's day" at different times of the year for republic and empire. I would also like to see major campaign celebrations. We are supposed to be in a galaxy at war (or on the brink) for millenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natan Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Life day in TOR would be nice, really loved how they did it in SWG with the trees, snow, presents and pvp. But please, please no Ewok love day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhillB Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 This is great news! But, why is it we have to hear about these things from other web sites? We should have known about this before anyone els out there no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foobert Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 This is great news! But, why is it we have to hear about these things from other web sites? We should have known about this before anyone els out there no? It's not even guaranteed to happen. Some artists decided to add some wookiee life day art into the the assets and all that site did was datamine it. How do you know it's not just an easter egg or people adding in a wishlist from their own free time? This is unofficial. As it is, the practice skirts the EULA, but in PR terms, the company probably benefits from having the community hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed "timely", given the ongoing "halloween" discussions, to post this "news" as an additional point for discussion. I know this is "basically a rumour" at this point in time.

Darth-Malice Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ah they lied too the playerbase. What a surprise. Then again the current team isnt the team who made the game those poor blokes all got laid off. So pretty much anything said or promised is out the window now.

They didn't "lie to the playerbase" (at least not relative to this topic). It was said that they would not do "holiday events based off of EARTH holidays". It was never said that they would avoid ALL "star wars themed" holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
