Dev Post EricMusco Posted December 19, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hey folks, Item prototypes are among the types of things you can see on the Public Test Server. Like all things on the PTS, they are subject to change and in some cases to not make it into the game at all. This happens to be one of those cases. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Thanks everyone. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know there aren't a sub-species of red nosed taun tauns? I mean if we can have noise in space, surely a taun taun could have a glowing red nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Why are you so worried? It's coming next year. Last year we had that speeder covered in christmas lights, now we have a speeder packed with gifts. They made the tauntaun already so... Why not stall it until the next year if they already provided you with a single mount?

chuixupu Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Once again you fail to deliver what you advertised and disappoint the community. Good work Eric. it was datamined off the test server by fans. There are a LOT of things that have been datamined over time that never made it to live. It was never advertised, it was never actually obtainable on the test server. It was a placeholder file that was scrapped. And seriously, you guys really wanted a red nosed tauntaun?

RandyL Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Count me as one of those disappointed to find out this won't be live. I would have paid 1,800 cartel coins for this too!

UltimateKrucible Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I imagine it was something like this : Twas the night before Life Day, and somewhere on Hoth Sat a cute festive taun-taun, and his master, Darth Moff. The weather was cold; it was blowing a gale, Darth Moff, he was freezing - his skin turning pale. He turned to his chum, and said 'Taun-taun, my friend?' 'If I don't get warm soon, I'll be meeting my end!'. 'That's awful' said taun-taun, standing up with a cry. 'I don't know what I'd do if you happened to die'. 'I wish there was some way I could come to your aid.' 'But as I'm a taun-taun, I've no clue, I'm afraid' 'Don't worry,' said Moff 'I can think for us both,' 'And I know of a way to survive, here on Hoth' And then he stood up, and unleashed his sabre. And although he was freezing, his arm didn't waver. A horrible cry rang out through the blizzard. As Moff opened up taun-taun from his feet to his gizzard. 'Not bad' thought Darth Moff, as he climbed deep inside. 'Apart from the smell, it's a good place to hide.' And all through the night, he slept snug and warm. And woke rested, on Life Day, safe from all harm. Happy Life Day Everyone! Edited December 19, 2013 by UltimateKrucible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say..... you have performed a perfect "Lucy&Teh_Football" maneuver on us with that one and left us all holding our keesters. You know what this means folks? It means the Galactic Weather Service has predicted clear skys above all the planets for Life Days Eve this year. No need for any Rudolph "augmentation" until bad weather predicted.

Glzmo Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'd rather see them focus their development efforts on something useful they have actually promised us over and over, like chat bubbles than working on a red-nosed tauntaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they say chat bubbles caused problems in the engine? Clearly the Hero Engine was the best choice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
