FlameYOL Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Well I'd say Kel Dor would probably be next since I remember a poll for playable species had Cathar, Togruta and Nautolans respectively in first, second and third place. And Kel Dor was 4th, but Kel Dor does not meet one of the criteria which is as Charles Boyd puts it "kissable lips" so that's out the window. Does anyone know who was in 5th place? Said pool was sadly before my time. I expect there may be a few studios out there willing to try a better SW MMO. It certainly puts pressure on EA if they want to keep the money flowing in from SWTOR. I wouldn't, the gold rush for MMOs is over with. While the genre itself is not dead, as some would claim, its certainly not the most popular. We're very unlikely to ever get another MMORPG replacement for SWTOR, most likely we'd get a looter shooter game. Not that difficult to do one would asume, and yet... There are not many studios in general who are giving a real mmorpg a try these days. And we can see what happens at Amazon, when you got an almost unlimited amount of money behind you, but no one who got any experience in making an mmorpg. The same what happened with this game basically. The best you can expect is a good start (if you release the game finished, not like they did with SWTOR). But when you don't got a concept for the future after release you lose your players and your game either dies or becomes a vessel for your cash shop (what happened to SWTOR). Sad thing is even the ressurection/remake of Star Wars Galaxies wouldn't work, because Sony is now Daybreak Game Company and thats a turd as worse as EAoware and Zenimax together. Long story short: I would love to see a new SW mmo, but who should make it? Best thing we can hope for is the Ubisoft SW game thats in the making i am afraid. MMOs are huge commitments to resources. While its definitely possible someone would take the license and try to make a new Star Wars MMO with the gold rush over with I don't think we're likely to get one anytime soon.

YVictorII Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Wow! I love sparking debates in MMOs. Shows just how committed the community is to the specific game. Yes, there are many different problems with some of the current species that we already have. I would love to see them fixed, and better sliders added but it won't exclude the need that many feel for new playable species. Most of the popular ones are already humanoid, which would not require many changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RameiArashi Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Voss And no lore is not against it. There are already many off world Voss.

A bare handful showing up off planet hardly makes them lore compatible And character models are incompatible, which makes them a hard nope. We've been over this ad nauseum in the forums. It won't happen. Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlameYOL Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I have just played Rishi for the 1st time and loved the Rishii... I know how unlikely it is but I would love a Rishii If it weren't for them having beaks instead of lips I could see it happening. Sadly I don't think those beaks would have a good time in romance cutscenes which makes it highly unlikely the developers would implement it. There is also the matter of the feathers in the body... they would probably not mesh well with current armor models.

eabevella Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Zeltron should be easy enough. Just human with 50 shades of red as skin tone. We need more tomatoes in the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderOtto Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 so when will this happen? we have been asking for years... i want to play weequay, trandoshan, rodian, quarren, etc...

Ardrossan Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) They did such a bad job with Nautolan, I'm afraid of what they would do with any other species I like that isn't just a human re-color. /thread Many of the suggestions here could easily be done with the existing species. I have a sith smuggler that i've configured to look like a Zeltron. Mirialans could easily be turned into Falleen. Echani are just humans with white hair, eyes and very pale skin. Someone suggested Iktotchi, which would be cool but would suffer from the same clipping problems as Togruta and Nautolans. Rather, I would like them to redo the character creation system and add more options, more sliders. Remove cyborg as a race and give any species the option to add cyborg parts. Combine the two Zabraks. Allow Trooper Tattoos to be used on any species for that class, same with Sith tattoos for Sith Warriors, slave tattoos for all Sith Inquisitors, and Bounty Hunter tattoos for all bounty hunters. Am I missing any? Edited September 5, 2021 by Ardrossan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayddow Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 One poster brought up Jawas and Treek type and noted that their armor isn't shown. Although not shown, Treek used to come with her unique armor (which I still have in some of my older character vaults), it can only be worn by other companions and it shows as invisible (in other words, if you put the chest piece on another companion, it shows them as if they are wearing only their underwear). Although I find it highly amusing that a set of pants that fit Skadge also fits Mako. She should be swimming in it. :-) Part of reason I think they won't do a "Yoda" species is that , aside from the size, in the lore they seem to be invariably linked to the Light Side. (yes, I'm aware that Yoda was "tempted" in clone wars - but he overcame it. And grogu did some questionable actions in the Mandalorian, but he was a child - a youngling - and did not have a developed sense of "good and evil" yet. Another poster brought up Vulcans and Romulans. I think that while lore-wise, it "could" work, but legally, they'd get sued by Trek/ Paramount, etc. It is odd that the only cross species is humanity. No other races show up in both franchises. (Although you could possibly make a cyborg character similar in appearance to 7 of 9, a Borg.) (It would be an option I think to put pointed ears on characters. I think they could get away with that because Vulcans aren't the only hominoids in fantasy with pointed ears. There are elves too. And as long as they don't Call them elves or vulcans, they could get away with it without lawsuits from Trek or LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyUK Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 What is the rate of new species addition? The Nautolans were added 2 years ago... when were the Togruta added? SWTOR released in December 2011, the Cathar were added as a playable species in Update 2.1 (May 2013), the Togruta were added in Update 3.3 (July 2015) and then the Nautolan were added in Update 6.0 (October 2019). Both Cathar and Togruta were added in roughly 2 year intervals but then we had a 4 year wait to get the Nautolan added. We probably will get more playable species as the years roll past, but as to just when or how long we have to wait, I think that's anyone's guess!
