Don't like Cathar

So playing through the new expansion pack with early access gave me a couple of oppertunites to see the cathar race again. Personally I do not like the Cathar race, and they appear really out of place in the game. They have cat-like features (cat nose, and face, hair), but have Bat ears, and them having a human voice and speaking english makes it a little over the top. I feel that if Cathar spoke another language it would look a little more normal (like wookies, some robots, or other races were they use text to show you what they are saying). I cannot imagine this being a main race in the game, and honestly don't see it being used very much... I could be wrong, but again, I dont think a Cathar would be a BA sith marauder, or a powerful Sorc. Just my opinion on the matter, seeing what other people think after playing the expansion a little and seeing the cather a little more.

Hmmm

Yeah, we'll see.

Cathar are not really a favorite race for what I want to assume is the majority of players, but at the same time there is an audience for them. I know my girlfriend is excited about them, and she has friends who think the race looks cool and most importantly different.

When World of Warcraft comes out with a new race, all you see is that race. Friggin' pandas left, right, and three ways to Sunday. The biggest positive I see with the Cathar is that we'll get some added into the world, but as long as it's not given out for free, we'll not upset the race balance so much that it becomes Rise of the Cathar Cathar Cathar Cartel. If we can avoid a RotCCCCC situation, I'll be fine with it. As long as more races come, and hopefully don't take as long (if they can streamline the process or just avoid clipping because I don't care, I want a Togruta), I think it'll be fun enough to see a new race come into game.

I don't like them either. I mean, in the movies there was no cathar afaik, very few people outside this game actually know about their existence (or just my ignorance?). Tbh, I didn't notice them even during my 50 lvls, they were just another nameless alien type to me. Why would they choose this race to add in the game first since there are many more known which they could pick?

I'm not really complaining, I don't need new races at all, just saying if they added Duros, Rodian etc, those we know for years, I might be interested. Adding Cathar is like they added nothing from my perspective.

Agreed, Cathar seems like one of those races that would have been added way down the line, and I was expecting a more bold, popular race to come out for the first 'new race' in the game... something to draw players to the game, and for some reason, I personally don't see Cathar having that effect. It does seem the women like Cathar quite a bit, but it just doesn't look right watching and listening to a Cathar speaking perfect english, which an english accent. I picture them having a hiss to their voice, or speaking some really weird language.

I believe one of the KoTOR games had a speaking Cathar in it, who used a kind of Russian accent (according some wiki) and I enjoy when the different races have different modes of speech, but part of this game is accepting that every Sith Marauder will sound the same, annoying as it is.

They'll fit in fine. It's a nice nod to the KOTOR vets and since chicks dig 'em hopefully we'll all meet a lot of girls online and fall in love and do operations as married couples.

I dont like Cathar and what we are seeing is what I assume will be the Cathar player models. I didnt even release they were Cathar until I was told. That said we all know they will be the next playable species so lets get them rolled out so we can move onto a better species.

ITT- a bunch of people basing what they think Cathar should be on... actually, it seems based on not knowing anything about cathar.

There was a cathar in KOTOR for one, cathar IS one of the most popular humanoid choices; all the race polls have shown that they beat out almost every other species that isn't in the game yet.

Naturally, it's going to be one of those things some like and some hate- but they definitely can't be considered a species that isn't both anticipated and long asked for.

I dont like Cathar either. They lookin childish like pandas in WoW. And this word "Cathar" is biblical , heretic and is from our planet / real world.
"Catharism 1] was a name given to a Christian religious movement with dualistic and gnostic elements"
"The Cathars were a religious group who appeared in Europe in the eleventh century, their origins something of a mystery though there is reason to believe their ideas came from Persia by way of the Byzantine Empire, the Balkans and Northern Italy"

I would like to see my favourite SW race - Kel Dor http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kel_Dor
This race is playable in Jedi Academy and Plo Koon is awesome in The Clone Wars.

Maybe will be difficult to put them into SWTOR coz their language and most of them dont speak english. They cant have romance coz they wearing a mask and cant kiss their gay fellos on Makeb

until now i cant really ge it, we asked many times for Togruta, wookies, muun, Nautolan or Kel Dor...

but instead we get the Cathar, talking/humanoid cats...
