MosesMercury Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Rather than bash the artists, let's give them ideas. I have started this thread http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=375126, hoping to help fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolakToma Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 After finally seeing the armor on a Male character I'am pretty disappointed. 1. The Sorcerer/Assassin PVE/PVP armor both have "Skirts" and show off alot of leg which look ridiculous, second the PVE armor has one too many blades on it. 2. The PVP Sage/Shadow Male armor have skirts also showing off alot of leg. PVE set has skirts too and shows off their shoulders obviously ment for the Female version only, but the Males have it. 3. With our current armor sets in game for PVE/PVP, there are subtle differences in the Armors to reflect the advanced class you are, as it wasnt bad enough that it wasn't completely different as I was hoping, now with 1.2 there is not a SINGLE difference at all besides color. Please this is just lazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypht Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 How drunk did the art team get before working on these, and why hasn't the blood of their sacking been proudly displayed by the remaining dev members? This way they could be showing us they will never let their standards get this low, ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russia Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 This armor is simply a failure of artists and the general opinion of all who write in this thread .... Question to the developers GAME - WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athrins Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yep. But why not go the full distance and completely divorce progession and appearance? Just give Armouring / Mods / Enhancments as rewards for endgame raids and missions. This would save everyone the not inconsiderable expense of stripping the mods out of armour they don't like the appearance of (which in 1.2 is going to be most of us it seems). Everyone has different tastes and different ideas of what looks good. So why not make appearance independant of progression? Give mods as progression rewards and let players obtain their desired appearance via crafting, commendations and missions. This. That is exactly what I have wished for in this game. Why they didn't go this route is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGVK Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Since most of the replies are "LOL ugly" I'll try to make my post as detailed and constructive as I can. If I don't have a "Likes" or "Dislike" section that just means that nothing stood out enough to make me like/dislike it. Also, I'm not going to list the reasons for my choices because opinions differ. I'm simply trying to help Bioware improve.

Slurmez Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 This is what whining does... "Whaa, we all look alike" ...They try too hard to fix that and voila we now have armors that doesnt look like anything from the SW universe we all know and love. Same with classes... "Why cant I do this or that, that guy can?" ..Ultimately that will lead to no diversity between classes and stale gameplay. Heroic moment is just the beginning. PLEASE STOP LISTENING TO WHINERS AND TODDLERS! Keep star wars the way it is. Jedi wear simple armor. Sith doesnt look like clowns and classes should be what they are. Vader with tracer missiles or Bobba Fett with force lightning is stupid! You are deluded if you think they listen to the customers, if they did these armours would never see the light of day and certainly wouldnt reach live.

Anzel Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 OK... I'm the biggest of all fanboi, nerd, brown nosing, BW lovers out there. But c'mon guys. The armor in this game looks like crap.

I understand, Bioware has a stellar reputation and it's rapidly going downhill, but you're not describing Bioware, you're describing Activision and the VISION of Bobby Kotick... seriously... go read some stuff about that turd and be thankful Activision isn't the dev of this game.

It doesn't look very Star Warsy or Sci Fi. What's going on here? I am curious. What exactly is "Star Warsy"? The white bathrobes and civil war era outfits the original cast wore in the movies that are set a couple thousand years in the future? The Robocop outfits from KOTOR, which is set 300 years in the past? Provide some examples of canon armor designs for the old republic era, please.

Sydous Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 yes, the new knight armour models are just as bad if not worse than before. Seriously, make some nice robes with a few bits of armour on them. I don't need Saturn for a helmet. I guess ill just have to keep hide helmet on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinaii Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 No need to says that as a sorcerceress I won't wear this ugly wowish armor. At least I will be able to remove the thingy inside and put them in my current pvp stuff. Will have to wait 12345...89months before I may be able to get the augmentation slot on them but I would rather lose some critics or power than wear thos thingy. The team who designed that are just people who don't know anything about star wars world. They should watch some movie or anims on sw than try it again.

Kheldras Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Well Ms Moderator.. if you think so: Mr Zoeller, From all your vids, i always see your vision, of a Star Wars MMO, that "lasts for years", the biggest coolest Star Wars Game ever. Your vision + the fact i love iconic Star Wars brought me to buy this game. Please, have a look at this and tell me. do you envision, in your dream a JEDI KNIGHT, even in a debatable-canon, alternate universe look like this: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/coloredvariationsknight.jpg For comparison: http://www.google.de/search?q=jedi+knight&hl=de&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=Ir5sT7Qjh5860tLx8QU&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBwQ_AUoAQ&biw=1119&bih=897 Seeing those designs i rather feel remembered to: http://www.google.de/search?q=wow+armor&hl=de&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=J79sT6CkOYWDOrHHmYMG&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CBAQ_AUoAQ&biw=1119&bih=897 Really. Other classes are debatably worse, and i dont even play a knight. I think a lot of people here would really like to see a step back, and if you have to, delay the Patch 1.2... but bring us Armours that look like Star Wars. Or at least: Make prying out mods free.

Skoze Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just throwing my 2 cents in that these are absolutely terrible-looking armors. There are a few that are bearable but for most they completely fail to capture the archetype of the class they represent and don't even look like they belong in the universe.
