CourtneyWoods Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 BioWare and LucasArts are excited to announce that “The Party Jawa” has won our Fan Favorite voting contest. Over the past month, our Facebook Fans have had the opportunity to choose a favorite item to receive as a reward when Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ launches its new Free-to-Play option this Fall. Although it was hard to pick a favorite, The Party Jawa won by an overwhelming majority! The Party Jawa celebrates a player’s status as a veteran of the galaxy with a unique and fun animation. The Party Jawa will be rewarded to current or previous subscribers as of August 1 and who are active subscribers when the Free-to-Play option launches.

ancksunamur Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 So then the question is when are they launching the free to play option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythosHero Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Party Jawas are great and all, but personally, I'd really like to see new vanity items that are more...useful? New sets of moddable clothing, weapons, speeders, titles and such would be amazing. Although I'm sure there will be plenty of people just dying to pop their Party Jawas /cringe at every opportunity, I would love to see some of the development time that's being diverted towards vanity items go into making things like this and this happen.

MediumD Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I would much rather be able to play as a Jawa. I have no use for a party jawa as I don't really get into role playing or hanging out in cantinas. Although the VO would be easy--jawa gibberish for each player response--the companion romances may be awkward with a Jawa PC. Party Jawa is something I'd use once and then put in my cargo hold, but it's fine for a free item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Party Jawa is something I'd use once and then put in my cargo hold, but it's fine for a free item. Jawas don't really need to have a romance, anyway some jawas can speak basic. I would be willing to pay for a jawa character if they every make that available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdluke Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) I am not surprised at all that the party jawa won, although I would have much rather gotten the throne or the carbonite. those are much more interesting to me. we already have a rhythmic augmentation droid. do we really need a party jawa too? Give us something to decorate our ships with instead of a random jawa-in-a-box. EDIT: I also vote no to playing a jawa. that is just silly.

Argonloris Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The question I would have is if the carbonite animation or the throne will be available through some other means. I was personally hoping for the carbonite freeze. Even if I didn't win it by votes i'd still like to get it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they'll both be available in the cash shop for cartel coins after F2P launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawstime Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Make it so we can buy the speeders/crystals you removed in 1.2 with the cartel coins, i would buy them! also i dont mind the party jawa just would love more speeders Edited September 7, 2012 by clawstime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVitrial Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 This, just let us choose which one we want. Yeah, I have very little interest (that is, no interest at all) in a Party Jawa. I would have LOVED the Carbonite, though...I really, really hope there's an alternate way to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoffeeFiend Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I beg to differ. The "Party Jawa" is not the SW:TOR fan (as in "likes the game and is actively playing") favorite, but that of the Face Book community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Nala Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) This, just let us choose which one we want. Agreed, so long as the choice is of different kinds of Jawas. Edited September 7, 2012 by Master-Nala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axmarcusxa Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 What a joke. How about giving us information on when 1.4 will be out instead? No one cares about useless in game items, we already have enough of them. Why not delegate the staff you use to design these toward new content (warzones, operations, flashpoint). Then maybe we would get a new operation more than once every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The option to play as a Jawa would be great. This though seems to turn the imperial space station into a vermin infested party zone. While it might be interesting fun or different for the first few times it seems to be a one note reward as it were. Surely within a week no one will care and if it makes others party will become a nuisence, Would it be possible to let people know what is going to be done to keep people playing. From the free to play vs Subscription. I can't see the need to do that many flashpoints and while no access to Ops may lead to a problem with getting high end gear it would be a far fetched to call dealing with mechanics and bugs and generally 8 people bashing on one over powered mob as fun. Specially when the bug out or cause you don't know the mechanics get killed. From what I can tell the best way to make some money is offer a bunch of new species and then fill the shop with buffs to help people avoid the grind as they play through the story and the interesting part of the game without having to worry about the grind or getting that rare loot.

Octom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I will absolutely never use the Jawa. The other choices? Much, much better. Next time you have a poll, do it in game. You know, where the players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 ...our Facebook Fans have had the opportunity to choose a favorite item... Thanks for letting those of us who actually play and pay for this game know about this...this is the 1st I've heard...I don't do facebook or twitter. May I suggest that in the future you post polls wherever you like AND post them HERE as well?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
