RandyAB Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I vote for more generic human re-skins. Because nothing is more exciting than getting more of what you already have in a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceMatai Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Thank you for almost giving me a stroke, OP. But my list would have to be: Togruta Togruta Togrtua and lastly, Togruta. Anyone who's read some of my posts knows that I'm in love with the Togruta and would kill a ***** to play as one. But on to my real list: Togruta Nautolan Kel Dor I don't really know. Those are my three favorite species and I would love to play any and all of them. Edited May 31, 2013 by JaceMatai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altheran Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The four that are IMO the most likely to be the next released, are : TogrutaDevaronianNautolanWeeqway Togruta : I'm not fan about it, but has a pretty huge fan base, and so they're probably working on it. They may be waiting for an apparance customisation that allow Twi'leks' lekkus to be put in front before releasing Togrutas. Devaronian : like togrutas there are some of them in the game, they can work from Pureblood models for skin color, and the face would likely be a human one with sharper chin and ears. They just need to work on horns variations (left half-broken horn, right tip-broken horn, curvy horns, strait horns...), and that should be fine . Nautolan : famous specie here. The biggest hindrance is their lack of eye variations, they're all full black. So they have to imagine enough variations on the face so that all Nautolans do not look too alike from each other. Weeqway : Take a pure blood, put Zabrack spikes instead of tencacles, add more wrinkles, put ratattaki skin colors, and use the ponytail like hair styles of Cathar and that should be enough to go live.

HitokiriAkins Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Bothan Bothan Bithan and Bothan! It isn't Star Wars without Bothans. We don't even see any NPC ones! That is an outrage! WE DEMAND BOTHANS! Seriously, they would make awesome Operatives. They can have romances with the human compaions. Many Bothans died to bring us this post. Personally, I'd like to see some of the more esoteric species, like the Neti, a race of shapeshifting plants. Which are easy to implement, since they can just take a humanoid form, like T'ra Saa from the Dark Horse Clone Wars comics. I mean, she's got breasts, despite being a plant. So, yeah, very little effort to integrate them into the game. Or the Yinchorri. Completely humanoid, except for the lizard head. Five fingers and all. Of course, this species would need to be restricted to a non-Force using class, as they are naturally Force Resistant. Another easy one to implement is the Zeltrons; pink skinned humans. Or the Sephi. They are elves, with the pointy ears and everything. No, I'm not joking. They come from the planet Thursta, and were introduced into SW canon in the "Jedi: Yoda" comic series in 2004.

Kilikaa Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 That's because Cathar aren't that popular as Togruta. Togruta was the species ahead of the Cathar in terms of popularity. People are picky man. Me personally, I'm not a fan of the Cathar and I think they look terrible but that's just my opinion, to each their own. I'm simple, I don't care for many other species, all I would take is more Zabrak customization options like qui-gon jinn hair style + the horns since I only really play zabraks. Anyways in terms of new species even though I will most likely not play them, rodians, bothans, trandoshans, weequay, Kaleesh Cathar were the most popular and most asked for species in a poll cobducted by Bioware pre-launch, so Togruta would be most popular after Cathar were announced. I have to say I think you are awesome because you love Zabs so much. Zabraks are the best damn species in all of Star wars. I also agree we need more options for them, especially the spearation of headbones from hair. We should be able to choose our formations and hair seprately.

Izorii Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Gran - I know they are probably 100th on the BW list but I just like them. It would be fun to be a cowardly Gran. They speak basic and are humanoid but I can see an issue with the 3 eyes Kel-dor - Ever since Jedi Acaemy I have wanted to play one of these in an MMO. At the time I wanted a Kel-dor Jedi now I think I would go with SI. They may be ugly but their face masks should be no more difficult than other speices already in game, they speak basic and we already have voice modification. Trandoshan - Just cool looking and I had one in SWG. Quarren - Probably not a very popular species but I like them mostly due to the KOTOR 2 mod that let me play a Quarren.

Jrea Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Would I get in trouble if I said "Klingon"? Seriously though, You could make Droids and Alien speak species work for some classes. Most of the wookie, hutt and droid speak is already recorded and we do have sub titles. Just have to remove the romance options.

tiennen Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) I think that being able to PLAY as a rogue Assassin droid (HK-49) would be cool. But on a better note, Rodians would definitely be on my list. Edited May 31, 2013 by tiennen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrdRahvin Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) So this is hypothetical... Bioware introduces FOUR new species in patch 2.6. Which four would you pick and why? My Answer: Nautolan because they speak basic and I read comments begging for them all the time. Voss because you could make the unlock process a long a complex quest line ending in the ability to buy it with Cartel Coins... we have to pay and work for it Mon Calamari & Quarren Since these two species share the same planet it makes sense to introduce them together with the first water planet in SWTOR... Dac... story setting: "An Aeon old conflict erupts on the planet Dac. The Jedi council is right to suspect Sith influence, but will only realize the sources of their dark power when it is too late." One thing to note is that all the species I chose are ones currently in the game. I figure that these ones would make for realistic choices for Bioware to achieve 5 patches from now (minus a new planet lol). 1. Bolster Bot 2. Competant pvp dev. 3. Cartel Market Muppet 4. Ability delay lag monster Edited May 31, 2013 by LrdRahvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelael Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The next one will the Togruta. It's always been the most asked for after Cathar. Funnily enough, I've yet to run into a single Cathar lol so I don't hold my breath on them allocating more time to add species. I've seen one, in a level 20 FP over a week ago. First, and last time I've seen one since the patch. Togruta Noghri Wookie Trandoshan I would play light side for Jedi Ewoks. Hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiRaphElan Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've seen many Cathar on the Ebon Hawk server since 2.1. A lot of them. Multiple Warzones, all over Coruscant and Ord Mantell, on the fleet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelther Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 1) Kel Dor 2) Kel Dor 3) Kel Dor 4) Kel Dor Because they are the best looking race in all star wars and they can to survive in the vacuum of space for some time. How awesome is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicare Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 The only races i can see working would be Near-humans due to a few things like romancing has to be somewhat believable , how easily they can make it so gear looks proper on them that kind of stuff. With that the ones i'd like to see that would also work are: Nautolan Togruta Devaronian Duros Chagrian ( Sergeant Rusk) Weequay Could possibly work. Sarkhai if you want a reskinned human ( Nadia Grell) Houk but that might be pushing it. just a small list , seeing as theres MANY races and near-human races they could use , just pointing out a few that are well known / somewhat known.

XantosCledwin Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 If, when they finally add Togruta as a playable species, they don't also fix Ashara's skin condition, they are going to have a crap ton of very pissed off inquisitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 None, because I'm not paying CC to play a new race that should be free to level up from scratch. After the Cathar, I don't care if they ever add a new playable race to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vian Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I know they've said "no Wookiees" because of the whole language thing ... but it makes me sad. And there was that one Wookiee in the EU who had a speech impediment that let him speak Basic -- surely that's enough to work with? Right? er, RIGHT? Nautolan and Togruta, for mine, then Kel Dor.

Deganji Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Voss because you could make the unlock process a long a complex quest line ending in the ability to buy it with Cartel Coins... we have to pay and work for it Do a quest to get the honor to pay them more money? No thanks. That would be like having a complex quest to unlock the ability to buy gear off the CM, people would rage. It's not that i mind that new races will cost CC, since i get free CC every month to cover stuff like this, I just think that if they put in a hard quest line it should unlock the race outright. I'd love to see stuff like that in game. Edited June 1, 2013 by Deganji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanph Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I like the idea of playing as an extremely advanced droid. Obviously not allowing to be force wielders would be obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirifus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Personally, I just want to see the Togruta. And on that note, some kind of fix for the Twi'lek lekkus, like the option to wear them over your shoulders, on the front as to avoid clipping with Bounty Hunter jetpacks or certain headgear (like hoods, though they'd still need a new model). That's all I want when it comes to species, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I've yet to run into a single Cathar lol so I don't hold my breath on them allocating more time to add species. you have seen plenty of cathar, just they don't look all that different from a regular race unless you look close. then you can see the cat faces and fur texture. Pretty lazy race IMO. Doesn't make the game feel anymore Star Wars. We need: Kel Dor (Plo Koon) Torguta (Shaak Ti, Ashoka) Nautolan (Kit Fisto) Mon Calimari (Admiral Ackbar) They already have Twi'lek, so they already know how to do tentacles/weird faces. I do not understand why we are 18 months from launch and have heard absolutely nothing regarding these iconic Star Wars races.

keysmachine Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Togruta - They can speak Basic, and they look awesome, and we already have a Togruta companion. Nautolan - They also speak Basic, and they look cool too. Voss - For the same reasons you listed. Sarkhai - This would be the easiest ever. We already have Nadia Grell, and Sarkhai are basically just another human reskin, but I like their coloring so they should be added! so how would you explain VOSS player character being on VOSS and treated like they aren't a VOSS (outsider) because bioware ain't got no time to be writing all new dialog for everything on that entire planet.
