Fennecs Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Imperial Armor: http://www.forcetremor.com/images/News/2012/Mar/Patch%201.2/Patch%201.2%20037.bmp Galactic Republic: http://www.forcetremor.com/images/News/2012/Mar/Patch%201.2/Patch%201.2%20036.bmp I do not think Bioware's concept folk have the slightest idea what Star Wars is...that or they are just plain and simply incompetent. The Bounty Hunter, Agent, Trooper, and Jedi Knight are decent. But what about the rest? I mean, what is up with the Sith Inquisitor?! When was the Predator and Swamp Monster's bastard child in Star Wars? And I play Empire and still I feel sorry for anyone who might play a Jedi Consular or Smuggler! Consular armor is not only extremely basic and boring, but...primitive and caveman looking! And to those thinking I am just QQing over it all, please don't get me wrong, I am very excited for many aspects of 2.1, but we should not have to say "At least they fixed the (x)" because honestly, they are making -tons- of money and are a professional company with some big titles under their belt, they should be getting it right the first time and know what they are doing all the while.

Kerplode Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Trooper and Bounty Hunter are actually the only 2 I think look good. The rest is either a downgrade or just doesn't even look like Star Wars at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaff Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 All of those just look terrible... really terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickXIV Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The Sith Warrior stuff might look better on a body type 2, like everything else because body type 3 is terrible. The helm is weird, but I like that shade of red. That said, I still plan on wearing that Mandalorian looking armor you get in the 30s if I can.

Riggz Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Trooper armor looks beast Operative gear looks like it took 5 minutes to design, haha kidnda like the entire class Sith inquisitor looks like a reaper from mass effect Rest are fine Edited March 11, 2012 by Riggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toweleeeie Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Could not agree more OP! Take a look at the thread i started and support it, so we can get some decent looking armor. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=302634 The new armor is not a step in the right directionm its more of a sideways step in the same kind of bad.

Evray Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The hood and shoulders on the Jedi make me go wut? The smuggler helm looks ridiculous. The inquisitor is too witchdoctory, and the sith warrior is okay minus the helmet. Everything else is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubtless Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I actually like the Consulars armour. I look forward to wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fennecs Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Evray, please tell me what you think is attractive with the Jedi Consular armor. Not being sarcastic, I just want to try and see it from your angle. Edit: Not just Evray I guess. Edited March 11, 2012 by Fennecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminova Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Evray, please tell me what you think is attractive with the Jedi Consular armor. Not being sarcastic, I just want to try and see it from your angle. Edit: Not just Evray I guess. I like it in that it's not over done. It might not be epic, but considering what they did for the Inquisitor....can I have the Consular for an Inquisitor...pretty please? >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightmaguz Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 All of those just look terrible... really terrible. That The sith inquisitor and Warrior look like japanese tokusatsu, and everything else is easily toppled by random orange gear sets that look much better and way more in-line with Star Wars than this random crap they're putting on the sets. Do they REALLY think we want more ugly as **** wow gear just so we have to waste 30k to remove each of the mods to put on our decent looking stuff?

Brimmer Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The "artist" for the imperials was playing a bit of half life prior to designing the agent's gear. For the republic I like all of them except the smuggler's gear and the boots & shoulder guards of the knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otakuon Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 These are only a few example of the new gear coming in 1.2. Remember, you are always free to mix and match the pieces. Plus, with the new crafting system, there is going to be a lot more freedom to customize your character's "look" and still have viable gear. And there will be plenty more new appearance items released in future content updates (such as the in-bound neutral (aka grey) alignment items).

Caelrie Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) I love the consular, trooper, bounty hunter and knight armors. I feel sorry for smugglers and inquisitors. Agents seem like all they got was a few orange patches added onto existing armor. I want to know how the consular is striking that saber pose. Mine uses a ridiculous anime stance when her saber is lit. Edited March 11, 2012 by Caelrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neopopulas Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Looks like someone has been playing too much WoW.. This is moving away from WoW into the more 'lets make everything as big and spiky as possible' territory.. The reason i disliked a lot of WoW stuff is because it was too big and bulky to be even a little realistic. All that **** in the way is just too much. I know its that big so people can see it easier but it looks terrible and i don't want to wear any of it I'm voting for a cosmetic outtfit option so i can wear GOOD looking armour from early levels and not look so ridiculous.

GavinPatterson Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i honestly thought that the crap they posted up last round would have been a really good clue. Like really...we play star wars - not random ugly custome game. really.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyDroid Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It's a huge galaxy. NOTHING is out of place. Everything is fashionable somewhere. Since 1.2 puts you in customisable armour of your choice, any additions are a good thing, however much you might personally dislike them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space_Gimp Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Sith Juggernaut looks like a Pikachu from Hell. Sith Inquisitor looks like my mother.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazerswrath Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I like the sith force users, and even the bounty hunter because they look different. I honestly would like to see more variation in the armors like this. As a trooper i feel like I've only worn 2 different armors the entire game (lvl 30+).

otakuon Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Funny thing is that there is another thread right above this talking about how awesome the new gear looks. Further proof that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also, I think that there is an issue with the positioning of the smugglers head with the spaceship behind it in the linked picture.

Game-Hermit Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) The only one that looks decent is the trooper. The others are horrible. Why does the smuggler's helmet have wheels? Why did they hire H.R. Geiger to design the inquisitor armor? The agent appears to be cosplaying Scorpion from Mortal Combat. Why did they glue skis to that poor knight's arms? This armor makes my eyes bleed. the sith warrior is okay minus the helmet and the Dragon Ball Z shoulders Fixed.

Idunhavaname Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 LOL Inquisitor what the hell?? And SW mask... The trooper,BH,Consular are the only ones that looks great. Consular looks simple and lore friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
