tolaez Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Hey folks, I have seen a few questions about price. I just confirmed with the team and Togruta will cost exactly the same as Cathar, 600 Cartel Coins. -eric Are we going to get a preview of some sort? Would be nice to have some idea of what we're buying before actually making the purchase. Edited July 17, 2015 by tolaez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Are we going to get a preview of some sort? Would be nice to have some idea of what we're buying before actually making the purchase. It's called the Appearance Designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's called the Appearance Designer. In the Cartel Bazaar on fleet in case people get lost and confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerbug Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Are we going to get a preview of some sort? Would be nice to have some idea of what we're buying before actually making the purchase. I remember Eric mentioning a shorter stream to show off the Togruta and I figured/hoped it would be today or Monday but have heard nothing yet so Appearance Designer is the only other option.

tolaez Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's called the Appearance Designer. Fair enough. Still a bit surprised they haven't created any promotional material for something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOHboy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Fair enough. Still a bit surprised they haven't created any promotional material for something like this. they had an entire stream showing off yavin stronghold playing entirely as female togruta back in early part of June.

Yeah I'm aware, I watched it live. It wasn't exactly promotional materiel At least not for the Togruta specifically. Seemed more like a tacked on after-thought. Though the fact they made it look like Ahsoka Tano was not lost on me. Edited July 17, 2015 by tolaez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and they did mention that the Togruta they were using wasn't something we should take as an official look. Although, I don't remember any significant clipping issues.

Although, I don't remember any significant clipping issues. Although I am completely happy to have Togruta in the game, I do hope they have Ashara head tail length options. The head tail length in the Yavin/Togruta stream was shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loud_skies Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Can we get any confirmation on the lekku lengths? I want to RP a younger togruta, and I won't be buying this race unless there is shorter lekku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loud_skies Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Is said RP a young female wearing the relaxed jumpsuit and a sentinel with green lightsabers? Nah, I already have a sentinel. Likely to be a sage/shadow, or maybe not even a jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like Ashara ___________________________________________ While further researching Togruta, I happened upon something interesting. Swtorista posted a guide to roleplaying as a Togruta: http://swtorista.com/articles/a-lore-appropriate-togruta-in-swtor-togruta-naming-conventions/ The article also contained a link to a Togruta random name generator: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/togruta-names.php#.VaqQEPlVikp Edited July 18, 2015 by neoraFIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth-Obvious Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hope someday your dev team works on something you cant sell on cartel market Oh so like the Knights of The Fallen Empire expansions that's free for subscribers? your companies greediness turned this game more like a market place it is not a star wars game anymore. I wouldn't call it greed so much as they got scared and tried to figure out how they could figure out to keep this game afloat when it was bleeding subscribers. SWTOR was and still is one the most expensive games ever made and it wasn't profitable for quite sometime after it went F2P. SWTOR's F2P model is bad, probably the worst of the MMOs out there but they basically did what they needed to in order to survive, it's just that what they did, didn't really benefit anyone but themselves.

Isnogut Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Togruta will be in Game Update 3.3 on Tuesday! We are pretty excited for all of you to get your hands on the new playable species. One thing that sets Togruta apart from other species is that, due to their Montrals, any item worn in your head slot will be automatically hidden. By introducing a new playable species which hides its head slot, this gives us the potential to introduce other species down the line who have "head things going on." Let us know what you think of the Togruta in Game Update 3.3! -eric Talking of the "head thing", why didn't you devs thought about doing some of the existing helmets as masks? Let me explain: We already have the possibility for chestpices with hoods to cover up some helmdesigns. Same tec could work with the exotic hairpieces from Togruta (or future alienheaded races). Maybe you think about this possibility for the future. But if you guys already thought about it, it might be quite enlightening why this wasn't an option at the end of solving the "headthing" problem.

Isnogut Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 SWTOR's F2P model is bad, probably the worst of the MMOs out there but they basically did what they needed to in order to survive, it's just that what they did, didn't really benefit anyone but themselves. Sorry, but I totally have to disagree. If some few people don't like this model, it doesn't mean that this F2P model is bad. In the matter of fact, SWTOR is the western MMO with a F2P model, that is actually working quite well for the community. Not to mention, it is the F2P primus on the western world, which is making a lot of money compared with other MMO's gone F2P. It's success highligts the fact, that it is well taken by its community.

Asheris Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think I saw a pantoran pirate on Rishi (one of the mobs you slaughter at the northern part of the first zone). First I kind of freaked out seeing a chiss with "normal" eyes but then thought about it and a pantoran came to mind. It might be a cheap jump for cash but more varienty is always good, even if it means different coloured humans (and yes, I am all for zeltrons, would make a perfect smuggler/IA ).

Not to mention, it is the F2P primus on the western world, which is making a lot of money compared with other MMO's gone F2P. SWTOR is considered to have the worst F2P model out there, especially when compared to other MMOs like Guild Wars 2, Star Trek Online, Wildstar's upcoming F2P model, etc. SWTOR's F2P model basically requires you to pay for every type of convenience and feature possible where as a number of other F2P MMOs (STO, etc) simply just restrict you on a purely numerical level, ie number of bank slots, number of characters, etc, and don't require you to pay money to access things like dungeons or mail or whatever other number of things that are standard in MMOs. It's success highligts the fact, that it is well taken by its community. No, it doesn't, and that's such insanely faulty logic.
