What should Star Wars the old Republic do in the future

I would like to see more playable species, I would like to play as a Wookie.

Wookiee cannot speak basic, so they are automatically ruled out.

 

Also: This idea was brought up never before.... oh wait... no sorry, I made a mistake here... it was brought up a hundred times before!

 

Finally: It is wrong to be a wookiee.

If you can't see the species kiss Princess Leia without feeling awkward or gross, you will never be playing one anytime soon.

 

And you people really need to learn how to take rejection better. 98% of you people act like if one single person doesn't like your idea, your entire existence is in jeopardy.

 

Get over it.

The Star Wars universe has heaps of different speicies in it so y cant we play them.

 

Three reasons.

 

1. They have to be humanoid enogh so that they don't cause terrible camera positioning and can wear gear without big clipping issues.

 

2. They have to speak basic because the alien language soundbite does in fact get very very ear gratingly annoying after a while and Bioware actually wants you to enjoy the character.

 

3. They must be romancable with the current love interest companions.

 

You may not like the rules, but they are there. Either suck it up and move on or just move on. Some species will just be NPC. Some will be playable. Moping about on the forums isn't going to change the rules and honestly, if you can't even spell the species name correctly, why should Bioware even bother? Wookiee. TWO. E's. Not that hard to remember.

Thats your opinion some people like Wookiees.

 

It's not an opinion or a like or dislike issue. The reasons we arent getting them are because of technical issues.

 

Anything we get has to speak basic (english), has to have the same height and build as body types 1-4, and they even have to be 'romanceable'.

Because it takes a lot of time to create hundreds of humanoid species. Every non-humanoid species is automatically ruled out, as it would cause a heap of problems such as camera issues, jumping, target box, etc.... Even the animations when a Jedi/sith does a normal sabre strike at a tiny person, would look absolutely silly (they would slice the air above the persons head, but the target would still take damage). All these necessary adjustments are just not worth the trouble.

 

For future replies please no more negativity just good ideas to try and improve the game we love.

If you do not want to hear valid commentary on your posts, your only option is to not post.

 

I am all for improvements of this game, but the inclusion of wookiee as a playable race would in my opinion not improve the game, but make it a lot worse.

By current game mechanic every species is ultimately allowed to be used for every class. And despite all the butchering of lore that did already happen, I will never stop voicing my concerns about further butchering of lore. A Wookiee as a Darth in the empire? No way.

And how do u guys no the "rules" do u work for bioware??

this post was ment to be for people who had ideas to improve the game not for people to have a go at my idea.

 

We know the rules because we were on these boards when they told us BECAUSE we asked why we couldn't play as Wookiees and Trandoshan and Torgruta.

I don't, I am not even working on the same continent as Biowares HQ. But I do listen to what the devs say (easy enough, as it is not a lot they say in public). And if they make reasonable statements, I repeat them to the ignorant.

This whole forum section is for peoples ideas and there have been dozens of "more species" threads before. You could have added to one of those. Or you just could have read the valid concerns about playable wookiees and why the devs said, that it ain't gonna happen.

ok ok maybe not now but with technology improving it might happen one day in the future

The reason stated was, that a bunch of garbling was causing players to very much want to put their fist through their screen before even leaving their starter planet. It has been tested.

 

Just take a moment and ask around on fleet, how many people are annoyed by "omi topi".

 

This is not a technical issue. Wookiee cannot speak basic. Wookiee cannot be playable.

 

And wookiee stink. Chewie is the most glorified sidekick ever and I fail to see why. That "engineer" is to dumb to put a droids head in the right place, it dismantels a starships engines in the imminent threat of an attack and it is a predatory warrior native to forest/jungle, but falls for a cheap trap of Ewoks, which was so obvious, that even a correllian smuggler did notice it was a trap. Also the wookiee cheats in games.

 

So why this totally undeserved fascination for walking carpets?

No one likes Ewoks.

 

No one.

 

Anyone who says they do is either lying, trolling or is mentally incompetent.

 

Ewoks can suck a lightsaber.

You see, the difference between you and me is, that I am speaking only for myself. *I* hate wookiee. I am not claiming, that other people hate wookiee... I only believe that they should :)

 

You on the other hand claim that a lot of people love Chewie... but cannot say why....

 

I can explain my dislike for wookiee... it is not just a hollow statement.

In my above post I gave you a couple examples, why Chewie is objectively to be seen as a horrible mechanic and even a horrible predator. Chewie is doing absolutely nothing for the story of Starwars (how could he, noone can understand his barking).

But that is not all...

My dislike for wookiee was raised to open hatred during Starwars Galaxies.

SWG was taking place between episode 4 and 5 in the timeline. Wookiee were a playable race from the start. The empire was even more xenophobic in that time, as it is now during SWTOR. And giving in to "fans", the devs allowed wookiee to join the empire and even become officers in the imperial army... two facts, which were so blantantly against lore of starwars, that I stared to hate wookiee.

So be my guest and explain to me, why you like them so much, that you want to play a barking walking carpet.

 

And yes, I also dislike Ewoks.

 

(oh and the other difference between you and me is, that I actually write "you" and "why" and not "u" or "y" :) )
