I look like a tauren wannabe wearing shin guards strapped to my shoulders. /support We need better looking endgame gear... ...rather, we need less rediculous endgame gear. Im seriously considering not raiding because i just dont like the gear's looks. At all. And i cant just take out the mods and use them on moddable gear. Edited January 27, 2012 by Zangaboing
Raltar Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I can't find the post now, but Bioware said they were making it so you can take the armoring out of these sets and the bonus would carry with it. It's just that the different armoring will be limited to the slot it was taken out of. Doesn't help us now(because seriously...consular gear is the worst looking gear I've ever seen) but it will help in the future.

Well im pretty sure i'd use the simple robes i got for my consular at black talon even till lvl 50 if i could. They look pretty much what i would expect a jedi to wear, but its all a matter of taste. There are a lot of sets that look good... The real problem is when players would rather use lower level looks rather than the current "epic" BiS gear
Badlander Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Whoever designed the gear in this game should be fired PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stephenjohnp Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I agree. In fact, for Smugglers their PvP/PvE gear is identical whilst everyone else get different models. It is ridiculous.
Shaz Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I haven't seen a single item lvl 30 and up for my (female) Sorcerer that I'm even remotely interested in using. I 'try on' everything, and a sample of my responses: Ugh. Seriously? Ugh. Oh how ridiculous! ...Now that's just stupid. WHO could EVER think that actually looks GOOD? Please, not the shoulder-floaties-with-a-bare-midriff AGAIN... (and last but not least:) I hope whatever gaming dev originally thought gigantic shoulders 'looked cool' regretted it after actually entering puberty. I literally have not seen ANYTHING better than the Black Talon level gear. It's the only gear that looks reasonable, and remotely 'fashionable', and not embarrassing to wear. I don't feel more 'uber' as I level up, I feel more like I'm a failure from clown school, because at least clowns have reasons for the ridiculousness of their outfits. Edited January 27, 2012 by Shaz
DariuszPol Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Empire look nice but Republic is just funny. When I saw WoW Paladin on a warzone I laugh my *** off.

Pretty much all my characters just keep the stuff they got from the Esseles/Black Talon.
halbarz Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 the consular gear is ok, but just the shoulders are made so big
Raltar Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 the consular gear is ok, but just the shoulders are made so big Shoulders coupled with the helmet/sail thing. Plus, no hooded robes = fail.
halbarz Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Shoulders coupled with the helmet/sail thing. Plus, no hooded robes = fail. i actaully feel like a submarine, with that set on
Lokai Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 >.< Can someone please hire a real designer? I look like a tauren wannabe wearing shin guards strapped to my shoulders. dont fret in a patch or so suppose to revamp modding system so we can wear what ever moddable gear we like i for one won't be touching end game gear x3
Anathar Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) some endgame gear looks awesome..some looks horrible...we all know which is which. same goes for lowbie gear..never made any sense why im supposed to just look horrible while im a lowbie then do a lot of nonsense after reaching max lvl just to look half decent.. why cant i look good all the time?

I just use the slave girl bikini set... I look good the entire game... now if only my body type 4 male toons could wear it...
Nightfalll Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 The ART department failed miserably... They need to be fired, or at least reprimanded.....And how the fk did the gear get passed 'inspection'? "OH YEAH LOOKS GOOD, APPROVE IT'........./facepalm
_Ender__Wiggin_ Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 This folks, is what happens when one outsources art. Lesson learned? Time will tell.
Kalyk Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I don't know what you are all complaining about! It's *still* a new game ffs! It's not like Bioware coppied this game using great ideas from other games that they have researched over the years. Honestly, who in this modern age of MMO gaming still wants to look different? I mean, take Aion for example, you wouldn't want their skinning system where you can skin almost any item over another for the looks. Why the frick would you want that? You'll just get ppl selling skins all the time, or ppl grinding instas just to get that rare skin, and ppl will all look different and the game will struggle to load all the different skins. I'm with Bioware on this one. Why do ppl want to look different? All it does is to drive ppl to be individuals, and promotes grind by ppl who soooo desperately want a certain skin and making then play more. Or ppl camping rare NPC spawns that sell rare skins, or ppl showing off rare skins from certain bosses that only drop under certain circumstances (Like very very hard modes). Trust me, you don't want that sort of thing here. ¬_¬
lucasomega Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Some of it is pretty atrocious. EDIT: I laughed when darthhater had the article on endgame gear just before launch. Those screenshots... Edited January 27, 2012 by lucasomega

Yeah, my level 50's wearing orange gear he got on tatooine, and social gear from the social I vendor on Drommund Kaas. (As that was the only place I could find pants for him). Kind of sucks, that all gear post tatooine, is rubbish.
Keihryon Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Shoulders coupled with the helmet/sail thing. Plus, no hooded robes = fail. Heh, I actually want to lose the hood on the armor sets I get as a knight. EVERYTHING has the hood up on it..please give us the choice to raise/lower hoods on chest armor that has hoods.
Technotica Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I wonder if BW really had a free hand with the gear design, after all I am sure there is some rule they agreed to that all the gear has to fit the star wars theme. I bet someone (Lucas or his firm?) nodded off all the armor designs. Edited January 27, 2012 by Technotica
Thargrim Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Whoever designed the gear in this game should be fired PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant help but agree a bit, im not sure how many people were responsible..but its not too late...they should hire some new character artists.
