The problem here is most of us want to get away from the high fantasy elf look. Bioware beware, your player base is starting to get annoyed with the obvious attempt to copy WoW in silly ways.

xorcist Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I absolutely HATE the hats for Consulars. You know which ones. the flat tops that slope down on the front... Gah! disgusting. (hide helm). There is another helm for Consulars that looks like you are wearing a bra on your head. Like, what the hell man?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorkir Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'd really like to see a set for SIs that is just a plain black robe. You know, like the black robes you could loot occasionally from darksiders in KOTOR. I'm not a fan of Columi or Rakata gear for my Sorc. And the PvP stuff just looks weird.

dnoisette Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I came here from the sentinel advanced class forum since the person who started this thread was linking it. And I have to say...WOW , I'm amazed with the designs proposed. If only the devs could take a look at it and actually understand that most of their player base is NOT 12 years old anymore and is looking for something simplier and elegant...

MosesMercury Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 In addition, I would really like to see leg pieces that were not form fitting. I'm not into wearing spandex or the like, even of it does have armor pieces on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraith Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Honestly, I would like to see a simple well designed cloak over robe. It seems that the armor, which is fine in many aspects does not fit the time frame. 300 years before SWTOR: In KOTOR 2 seen here: http://scifimmorpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/star-wars.jpg During SWTOR: http://www.swtorguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/SWTORSithInquisitor11-1024x576.jpg and 3k years after SWTOR: http://www.poster.net/star-wars/star-wars-episode-iii-anakin-skywalker-4900969.jpg http://www.poster.net/star-wars/star-wars-episode-iii-anakin-skywalker-4900969.jpg I know there has to be some form of design advancement, but there are tons of alternatives. something like this http://thecoolship.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/250px-Jedi_Revan.jpg I am not saying there shouldn't be jedi/sith all armored up, but I would like to see some good looking robes under cloaks as well. The one issue I have with the current cloak system is that the devs designed the cloaks to be worn under the belt. like this: http://www.polishtheconsole.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/swtor.jpg when in fact they should look like this: http://www.themogblog.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/swtor.jpg I understand from a design point of view the animations for a free flowing cloak is harder than to just have the cloak tighten around the waist with a belt, but come on, this is Bioware and LA.... I am more than positive they have the resources to implement something along these lines. But after playing the game, it seems a majority of the PVP gear and high level gear is based off of some crazy fantasy game like WoW. the Huge shoulder pads, buffed fore arm armor ect ect seems out of place. Jedi and Sith are known for being simple, I think over loading the classes with overwhelming armor is taking away from the 30 or so years of what the movies and the EU has established as a look for jedi/sith.

Brutus Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 These armors, are in game, and IMO these are what Jedi Knights should be wearing. http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc517/vander89/Screenshot_2012-03-25_19_19_07_865677.jpg http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc517/vander89/Screenshot_2012-03-25_19_19_02_146350.jpg http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc517/vander89/Screenshot_2012-03-25_19_18_57_870106.jpg Where does one get those armors and what are they called? I've spent a ton of time trying to get the Jedi Battlelord's armor, but this stuff is WAY cooler lookin. And it's not green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheldras Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 i think there should ne a final test the devs were forvced to take for each done armour design. They have to copy 1 Avatar wearing that auit into a Star Wars Movie Scene... if it fits in, the armour is ok.. If it sticks out, they delete it.

Allegos Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Can Sith Warriors get in on this conversation as well? How did Vader's life support apparatus get retconned into some kind of Sith uniform? Juggernauts don't need moddable gear; with the exception of the PVP set and the Hammer Station drops, every outfit is a recolored Vader costume. And Bounty Hunters. Look at the variety of looks the bounty hunters were sporting in The Empire Strikes Back. They looked like a motley bunch from all walks of life. They looked exotic. The Imperial officers sneered because they were rabble without a uniform. Now go window shopping for heavy armor with Aim on the GTN: page after page after page of recolored Boba Fett costumes. The star Wars franchise provides such a broad variety of fantastic costumes. An MMO with crafting is such a fantastic opportunity to use that and build upon it, to add to the franchise. Wouldn't it be a shame to see that opportunity go to waste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMercury Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think we have plenty of examples of what we dislike. Let's get some more of what we do like. Please link pictures or explain your concepts in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagessel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Only suggestion I have is for them to fully separate character costumes and outfits from stats. Or at least partially so. Earn armor enhancement items though operations, flashpoints or PvP, but have a separate menu for character appearance. Perhaps separate the costumes available by level or legacy levels. The higher the level the cooler options to choose from become unlocked. That way the player can make a character they love to play, and still advance and have incentive to advance - without looking like a nerfherder or Burning Crusade clown for half the character's life. The current model (much like the talent system) is vintage World of Warcraft as it was 4 years ago. I don't think it would be that difficult for them to separate costumes from stats in a big 1.2 style patch or expansion. The current system just has to go. Tier costumes are embarrassing.

xShadow- Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Here are a couple I would like to see in game. http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/files/costumes/1530/44676/Jediadventurerobe.jpg http://media.photobucket.com/image/starkiller%20ceremonial%20robes/Shaso_Shiur/The-30th-Anniversary-Collection-Galen-Marek-Ceremonial-Outfit_Big_6.jpg http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/183/d/4/starkiller_by_terrablaze-d3kqep4.jpg http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/starkiller-3.jpg http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/8/80550/1629053-687852_starkiller_of_soul_caliber_4_1_super_super.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/kacheron/3843618432/ http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/4/45/ExarKun-SWGTCG.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahana Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Probably one of the most popular outfits at a convention or how most people view a Jedi. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jedi_Hunted.jpg Pretty much any of the pencil drawings on this page I would like to wear on the specific class they represent. http://www.wolfedengames.com/starwars/artgallery.htm This isn't 100% but the overall concept is what I think is good.. Its not outlandish or gaudy.. http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-07/swfu-jedi-general-rahm-kota2.html I don't want to look like something that came from a Ron Popeil commercial.

Rzacron Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 This is how I want to dress Clicky And I can, actually several in-game outfits fall in to this style, the only problem is they are level 1-10 unmodded throw-away items.

captainscarbeard Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I like to see the robe over tunic with loose pants look that jedi had in the movies. The Aayla Secura look is good too. I'd like some "civilian" clothing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThuaThal Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) /signed The armors just don't look star wars at all. Its starting to look like any other fantasy RPG and its stupid. Luckily there are a FEW of the old orange sets that look cool* and I'm glad I've stocked them so I can have an acceptable look in 1.2 I really don't understand why they have made so many sets that looks WAY to flashy when they had the perfect ideas in the cinematics. Oh well... Edit: Reading through more posts in this thread it seems like a general consensus that people like the more subtle outfits over the circus clown looks, am I right?

Vagessel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Also. Jedi Shadows and Sith Assasins should have stealth like outfits - including pants. A rogue like character dressing like Merlin is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that statement. I'm a star wars enthusiast to the point that i've seen all of the movies and read some of the books.. But beyond that not really.. I want to be a Jedi, a healer.. and what they propose isn't anything like what I would support. It is just plain nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELECTRICJUDGMENT Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) This: http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/400/s/swdl5.jpg Light, Medium and Heavy rating variants. NO visible armor plating, save for the wristbands. Just the garments. Also, something like Luke Skywalker's outfit in Return of the Jedi for Jedi Knights. The one he was wearing when he infiltrated Jabba's palace. Edited March 29, 2012 by ELECTRICJUDGMENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcGBorn Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'd pick any of the links here over what we paid people to design for us. Pretty pathetic. Nice links all. I love the standard brown and tan robes. 1.2 is going to suck. I hope I can remove the mods and throw it in the gear that is pleasing to the eye.
