DarthZail Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Do you think Swtor will have something similar to WoW's armory? I'd like to be able to link my in game characters to my friends to show off my gear/achievements. Edited December 13, 2011 by DarthZail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be able to link my in game characters to my friends to show off my gear/achievements. I don't think they will. Especially since there will be no achievement system like there is in wow. No 'points' to show off. The current Codex is the achievement system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Codex is the achievement system. I didn't mean achivements like WoW. I just meant things like, beating flashpoints, getting gear, operations etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroXx Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm sure something like this will pop up after the major issues get sorted out, they don't even need to make it themselves, they just need to make a basic API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeulika Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 The basic ideea is also for char inspection. Meaning, talents, gear, 'achievments' as a tool for guild recruitment not only 'show off to a friend'. Or even 'learning', to see how others have chosen their gear and talent builds. At least in WoW that was one of the 'serious' uses of Armory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaverdog Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 and also in wow the main reasons why it was so hard to get into a raid because most people would just get ignore or replaced for someone with +1dmg over them... hope they dont bring it out, and i hope they dont bring out no damn stupid arse dmg meter for the kool cids...

Listerman Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 well, you can showw of gear then? or PVP ratings? It's just cool to show your character to your friends innit? Couldn't just asking your Valor level and right-click inspecting your character serve the same function? I can't imagine they'd want to know what kind of pants you're wearing if you weren't around or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deviss Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I sure hope so, and I am sure they will add something similar. The question is: when. Probably not so soon, they need to work on other things that need fixing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage meters and combat logs are a must if TOR wants any type of high-end raiding community. My advice for you would be to not suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valsdad Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bioware seems to have the attitude of keeping the hardcore data a mystery to promote a better gameplay environment and I personally agree with it. I don't think we will be getting a WoW armory type of service for players, but I could see them adding more guild support for guild fan sites.

I didn't say they're too dumb, they did (via implication). And MMOs aren't very complex compared to plenty of things, governments for example or the global monetary system.

Azzras Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I wouldn't mind some form of 'armory'. It would be nice to see how people are specing/gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisina Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The armory for me would serve only one purpose.. To look at my other chars what they had as crew skill and what they can make for my friends and myself. In WoW I had the addon altoholic for this, but I really hope we can block the addons from this game. End-raid WoW isnt PvE anymore, it is nowadays addon vs enviroment. So, no for addons.. but some sort of armory for the alts, yes pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thradar Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Do you think Swtor will have something similar to WoW's armory? I'd like to be able to link my in game characters to my friends to show off my gear/achievements. That alternate to this is aholes linking the profiles of average players (who make up 90% of the playerbase) and screaming "YOU SUCK!!!!!" and linking their profiles on public forums. No thanks. Even when I played WOW I didn't use the armory. Who cares who has (and don't have) useless virtual shinies. That's even worse and more shallow than showing off real life "gear."

Maksimau Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Other than showing off your gear, wow armory has wide range of other use cases, which would be really useful even for average SWTOR player (that includes remote auction, built-in talent calculator, sources for gear e.t.c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
