Scroll to 13 November.

As for voting, they asked a planet vote around that time, too, then we ended up with Makeb. And Makeb was NEVER a top 10.

they have stated their opinions on polls before, they are a metric but in the end it is their decision. For example a poll would list Yoda species or wookies as possible player race. Even though these would NEVER make it into the game. Thus BW would be ignoring the wishes of the community and giving them a huge finger with a slap in the face by not doing what the poll says.

As for planets they never said it was going to be the "next" planet, they could have makeb 75% complete (not even on the list) and offer a poll on "possible planets" when makeb is released again middle finger and a slap up the head while urinating all over the community

We definitely need to know what the street name is here. Because there is a whole lot of silly sauce flowing from that particular street.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

They talk about SWTOR on Wall Street?

so OP, again, where did you get his "word on the street" from? not going to deny it but other than a vague comment from a cantina tour someone pointed out I have not seen any other kind of evidence.

Never heard this before, and considering how much people want the Togruta and Nautolan's BEFORE any other races according to the previous poll they ran and how I don't think Voss were even listed in the poll they ran.. then IF it were true it would be a shameful ignoring of their community wants and a total kopp out with yet another AS close to human without actually being human alien species they could come up with.

IF it were true.

Cat people you kind of understand even if no one in the community really asked for them, but there has to be zero interest in the Voss.

Also, the Voss are huge, much taller than any of the current playable races, so it would be harder for them to make them work with the armor/weapons than something like the Togruta, where you just have some clipping issues on chest pieces and perma-hide helmets (not too different from the Twi-lek issues).

I disagree. While I would not pay 1800 cartel coins for them, if it were free, I would roll at least one Voss character.

I would not, even if it were free, roll a Cathar or Tortuga or Ithorian or a Wookiee or a whole host of other species.

Voss would not be my top pick, but if they were to make it, I would buy it and play it. (esp. if they added voice modulation so they sounded Voss!)

I just want a new species of any kind I'd settle for more customizations for the ones we have though... at least for a while. So much untapped potential!
My name is Milind. I checked it again and can confirm you there is no bug with any companion in the game.

I'd buy it to support the idea that new species are desireable, just like I did the Cathar, but I wouldn't roll one myself. I don't play Cathars either, even though I paid for the species.
