Bassmasta Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Do what Blizzard did. They used to hold Art contests which in reality was them scoping out art talent within the fanbase. Some of the past artists actually received job offers from Blizzard. This. Here is an example a fan came out with a concept of smuggler gear. Looks better than the new one imo. http://greyfoxx082.deviantart.com/art/Twi-lek-Smuggler-concept-130083002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKMaster Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 honestly bioware. just bring in transmorgification system that blizzard brought into wow for this game so you can keep these self-entitled no gooders from ************. Or one of the other apperance modification systems that other MMO's had in place before WoW copied them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyDanger Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I can't imagine where they'd ever get the idea that a smuggler might wear a cape. It's not like there are any in the original trilogy after all: Lando Calrissian would never wear a cape. I was gonna use a bunch of sarcasm to let you know how wrong you are, but ill just use the facts. Every picture of Lando in a cape was when Lando was the Baron Administrator of Cloud City. Unlike smugglers, many of Baron have wore capes lol. Smugglers are the type that do not appreciate attention being drawn to them. I can not think of a more attention grabbing piece of attire than a cape. If you want to draw from the OT then lets take a look at the scenes from Mos Eisley. In a spaceport full of smugglers, not a single person was rocking anything that could even be mistaken for a cape.... or an oversized hat that could pass for a gag prop. Im not gonna pretend I knew this next part, but the cape was actually a part of an outfit that any Baron Administrator would ware. Thanks wookieepedia lol Also, what did Lando wear once he was no longer the Baron Administrator? http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/galleries/2010/Review_LandoCalrissianSmuggler/Review_LandoCalrissianSmuggler_still.jpg If you were not so sarcastic then I would not of enjoyed this nearly as much ;] Edited March 11, 2012 by CharleyDanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarufighter Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I considered most of tier 1 gear to look awesome, except maybe the knight. Anyways, this new gear looks amazing, mixed with high res graphics and an awesome design. Love especially the trooper, bounty hunter and warrior, and finally the Jedi look more star-wars'ish.

Rohanshot Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 A lot of people seem to like the Armor Design Contest idea for SWTOR so I managed to get a forum into the Suggestion forum that shows how something like it could be used. Feel free to check it out. Community Armor Design Contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonimator Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I mean a cape? Really? Smugglers wear capes? and novelty sized hats? What in the ***** were they thinking? For the capes, you have to look back to Star Wars' origins, and Ralph McQuarrie's art: http://mystarwarsobsession.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/mcquarrie-posterdraft1.jpg Dude on the left is Han Solo. Yeah, he's got a lightsaber, but EVERYONE had lightsabers at that point in development (well before casting or anything). Also, in Marvel's Star Wars comics, Lando often wore a cape while out adventuring with Luke when they were searching for Han Solo between ESB and ROTJ.

Space_Gimp Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Why does the new warrior armor look like they are attending an Easter fancy dress party? I thought it was a Pikachu from Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in Marvel's Star Wars comics, Lando often wore a cape while out adventuring with Luke when they were searching for Han Solo between ESB and ROTJ. You brought up good points, but its still a real stretch imo. I mean they dropped the saber from Solo because it did not make sense, I would think the cape was dropped for the same reason. Comic book Lando only makes sense because so many ppl identified Lando as the Baron Admin from ESB. Like I pointed out to another poster, Lando had not been a smuggler for years at the point of ESB, and the cape was part of the Barons outfit. I also think anything from the OT out weighs any other form of SW. Did we ever see Lando wearing a cape after he was no longer the Baron Admin in the OT? The OT, comic books, fan fiction, novels, whatever form of SW you want to bring up, it still has to pass the common sense test. Why would a smuggler wear a cape? You could say SWTOR is set so far before the OT that maybe it was just a thing back then, but why? A cape is a status symbol, and is usually a part of a set formal outfit. What smuggler in their right mind would try to draw attention to them selves? It just does not make sense lol. Super heros, royalty, magicians, and smugglers wear capes.... Wait... What? One of those dont fit lol. Shut your eyes and imagine a smuggler.... Is he or she wearing a cape? COMON PEOPLE!!!

Vietphong Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The Agent's headpieces are very limited right now. I hope 1.2 will expand them. For us RPers, we have very little to work with. I, and several other's I've seen on this forum, want a sniper with a brimmed hat (the kind that smugglers can get). I'm not paying Bioware 14 bucks a month to develop beer-dispensing party hats. Get on this stuff or lose my subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well, the member of the community thinks that this stuff is...not so good. I especially dislike the female's armor on the right (Rep.). Looks like something from GW. Still, at least it isn't the "newbie Wood Elf" look. I'm grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgon Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If there are complaints, I did make a thread to help alleviate the communities "troubles" with the gear design or style. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=353344 If we are going to complain, let's at least complain productively.

Lordgeneral Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Another fine hat on my smuggler that deserves the HIDE function....yeah some stuff looks awesome but there's still loads of ugly design and seems the smuggler this time had the short straw. Yeah this concerns me, one looks like a cheese slice spaceship, the other makes us look like some form of brokeback mountain cowboy, how many other genres of cowboy do we have to endure? atleast go cowboys vs aliens style gear, it would make much more sense.
