Cathar, a playable species announced last year, will be introduced in SWTOR Game Update 2.1 as as a cartel coin purchase.

 

• Unlockable via the cartel market for 600 cartel coins. You can convert either an existing character or reroll a new character.
  
• Unlock is account wide rather than just legacy wide (i.e. applied to all servers, all your legacies)
  
• Available to all eight classes (both factions)
  
• Both male and female
  
• Cool new fur patterns, new hair styles
  
• Great social emote for your Cathar pride
  
• Trooper companion Aric Jordan will be have his appearance adjusted to bring him inline with the new Cathar models. He will be utilizing the new fur technology and better reflect how Cathars will look.
  

 

Here are some images of how the cathars will look: http://dulfy.net/2013/04/26/swtor-cathar-species-coming-in-game-update-2-1/

2.1 is entitled "Customization". I wonder what customization features we'll get save for a cartel barber. Hood toggle time?

Can't say much right now but next week you will hear more about it. It is called Customization for a reason and they are taking it seriously

Why do I have my exams in two weeks... Why?!

Yo we be toggling in the hood, gee!

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. But yes, I wonder what else will be seen beyond the barber shop and cathar.

Good that means ship customization should be here too right? RIGHT?!

Can't wait to get more details. I guess I can stop refreshing swtor.com waiting for more details about 2.1

 

I am hoping we get some sort of content. But a bunch of QoL and customization options will make me happy.

If patch 2.1.1 is entitled 'Transfers' I will strip naked and run down my street.

 

I'm assuming 2.1 will include Jeff's baby (hood toggle), all the customization stuff he mentioned before.

 

You say the price is 600 cartel coins - tell me it doesn't cost 2000 coins to change your race lmfao..

Thanks for the post. Can't wait for this one to come out! EEEEEE <3

Countdown to Sith Cathar Warrior named "Grumpy Cat"...3, 2, 1...

Can't say much right now but next week you will hear more about it. It is called Customization for a reason and they are taking it seriously

 

Aw man, now you made me excited! Never really cared much for the Cathar, but more customization options is something I always look forward to

 

EDIT: Quoted the wrong person lol

if by 3,2,1 you mean weeks you may just be right Or you need many more seconds

Oh Alec, What will you have to post about if you finally get the hood toggle? It will be an end of days!

I mean you better make him now and convert him to Cathar if you want to lock that name down.

*Looks at coffee* i obviously need more. lol Good idea.... Damn I am at work

Why make a thread of this? It is BioWares homepage so I am sure they can update us themselves.

 

Still, one of my characters will probably become a Cathar. And I wonder if Aric will have an update to his romance dialogue about adoption since well... two Cathars can make babies, right?

I'm so excited! Cathar look great! I'm over here cheering in my seat.

Woops. You're sub means nothing.

I'll either become Andryah #2 or leave this hive of scum and villainy for ever. TOR will be 10/10 for me and I'll be in Heaven.

Woops. You're sub means nothing.

 

Actually it means if you didn't spend your cartel coins frivolously you can have Cathar basically "free".

Because Dulfy (the OP) runs the best, most informative SWTOR fan site on the Internet and has been a pillar of this community since before the game launched.
