Same here, its very annoying, specially when loading space missions

Wow, thought this thread was dead, glad to see more people like the idea Thanks, and I like the ideas posted too. Now with the new dyes the customization is even better. Although I have to admit I dont like the system much, but better something than nothing I guess

Wow, wasn't expecting so many replies, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the same, or close. I'm going to try to reply to most of the post I've seen. While the "badge of honor" certainly sounds good, what happens if you decide to make a new character? That new character will be unable to get that gear. It is true that tionese/columi/rakata tiers are only different in the color/textures of the pieces. Then again, a different color or texture can be a great difference. If you don't believe me, check this picture of Vader. Quite a difference with the normal black suit don't you agree? As for everyone's tastes, well, everyone has a different taste when it comes to armors or actually, anything. My sith juggenaut uses the old battlemaster set with campaign armorings. Converted it into a pve set. But that doesn't mean the normal pve set is garbage, its a nice cybernetic suit. Bet more than a cyborg warrior likes wearing it. In the end all I try to say is that there is no need to reduce our options in appearance just because new armors show up. Maybe someone doesn't like the sets at all, they don't lose anything if they vanish. But maybe in a few months some of the gear they like will receive the same treatment.

Really? Well those are excellent news indeed! If you see any of those crystals again could you confirm it or post a picture?

Yes, I'm aware of that, but just do this math, each class has 2 different looking armors for each tier, multiply 2 by the 3 tiers, and you have 6, 6 unique outfits are vanishing in 2.0, and that's for just 1 class. Now multiply that by 4 base classes, 24 unique outfits are going to vanish... only in one side of the game. So, now multiply that 24 by 2 sides in the game... 48 unique outfits are going to vanish in total (and I'm not counting outfits that look the same like force-master an force-mystic ones, I'm talking about force-master and stalker, different looking ones) And I'm not counting the crystals, cyan/purple, say goodbye to them. Same goes with black-red/black-blue

Hi, with the new patch 2.0 everyone has seen how the Tionese, Columi and Rakata sets are removed. While its obvious that progression to a higher level cap demands better gear. I find sad that such nice looking sets will be forever lost. My suggestion is to add a "Vintage equipment" trader that could sell the sets, or empty shells for classic commendations or planetary ones if you want. Another option would be to add them to the cartel market (then both sides can wear sets from the other side, like a jedi sage with sith inquisitor tionese gear for example), or place a vendor selling boxes of empty orange schematics, like the battlemaster ones so people still has the option to wear such nice looking sets. This also contributes to a great diversity on high level player characters, otherwise everybody will look the same, like droids. If you agree with this idea, please don't be shy and post a reply showing support to this idea. Better gear is nice, but there is no need to "sacrifice" old gear in the process.

I would like to make a cathar operative Racial skill... "Cough furballs": Everyone around you will be grossed out.

Well, I just unlocked the legacy twi'lek with the 1.5 million credits and I must say I'm disappointed. While inquisitor class seems to be able to unlock all skin colors for females and males, it seems imperial agent is missing the green and light blue one. I wanted to make a light blue operative but now it seems I can only choose the normal blue color. I have sent a ticket, but still no answer. The fun part is that male twi'lek imperial agents can be green and light blue, their skin color options are 8, while the female is 6. I'm not sure if this is just as intended or if they missed adding those options.
