Descends Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Looking at the new consular 1.2 black hole armor....its actually my complete formal opinion that it just literally is the ugliest, worst designed high end armor in the complete history of gaming. Has anyone ever seen anything worse? http://www.oldrepublic.net/content/attachments/1715d1332243133-jedi-consular-wt1.jpg Im not trolling im being serious..can anyone find a game design armor worse than this? Does anyone in the entire universe even like this armor design? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djspyder Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 yeah I'm not Liking that at ALL... the PVP armor doesn't seem So bad... not really my thing, but Not terrible looking.... but that PVE armor looks pretty terrible... maybe with a different color scheme it would be better???...

Armourboy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 http://www.terenastavern.com/MyBB/archive/index.php/thread-7338.html Was pretty bad although it was mainly a color issue. The PvP version wasn't as bad but still has a wierd Robocop look to it. The PvE set isn't just bad from a color stand point, its bad from top to bottom.

Descends Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 yeah the pvp armor, i highly prefer the look of battlemaster but the transformers samurai thing isnt THAT bad...

KrittaB Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) ?? It's not like you have to wear it For female characters it looks pretty awesome in the flesh IMO. No idea why they didn't change it for male characters though. That's pretty weird. It could potentially be a bug with the preview window, I've never seen a male character wearing it.

Lumpyone Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 At least they finally gave us the option to pull out the mods and get the stat bonuses from the Campaign gear. Put those modes into Orange gear and you can have any look you want, which is a good thing if they keep putting out such awful looking gear. In addition, the Sage gear seems better suited for female toons than male, which is disappointing. The Columni and Rakata gear now looks much better on the female toons than male.. ohwell. It seems they are not listening to the player base at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberryyogurt Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 whoever designed the armor for sages should honestly think about a different career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idunhavaname Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I actually like it if you're female. I cried from laughter the moment I saw how it looks on male though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfoxe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) i am loving swtor bioware on republic side consular shadow BUT honestly the war hero gear for consular shadow is haphazard i really do not understand why the sith inquistor artist is awesome check out the difference. sith inquistor http://www.oldrepublic.net/434-game-update-1-2-new-armors-looks-stats.html consular shadow http://www.oldrepublic.net/content/attachments/1715d1332243133-jedi-consular-wt1.jpg/ i know developer has posted that the gear is in a cycle and changes cannot be rapidly made but please seriously begging you something needs to be done so that i can keep my war hero stats but NOT use the graphics that were chosen. here is my character screenshot that is amazing artist for consular http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t460/valendir/Screenshot_2012-02-06_06_09_47_976776-1.jpg Edited April 13, 2012 by shadowfoxe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermonuked Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 its not just the worst looking armour, but in regards to many of the sets, it bares no relation to anything star wars, i suggest someone beat the lead designer around the head with a star wars box set until he actually realises what game he's designing the armour for. its not that the designs are bad, or poorly executed, some of them are really incredibly good, they just have nothing to do with the style that we expect for star wars. the NPC's that we fight every day have far better looking armour than 90% of whats available for us to use. i dont want some artists impression of what they think our classes would wear, i want a suit of armour that would be practical to wear in a fight and not a pantomime, i want something with a male version as well as female as i dont like running around in drag and i'm pretty sure not all women play healers like some sexists would have you believe. basically, i'd like to feed the designers to a rancor and get some people involved who understand the lore of star wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descends Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 this has to be a really hurtful patch for sages.. first they nerf us to the ground..for pvp, pve and all things in between....and then they make us look ugly. horrendous abuse.

SoonerJBD Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah, the new PvE gear is even worse than the Columni and Rakata sets, and I thought that wasn't possible. Columni and Rakata gear both look like bad wedding dresses. The Legacy Exalted set looks exactly the same. And the new PvE set, while not looking like a wedding dress, is completely unwearable for a male character. The renowned legacy gear actually doesn't look hideous, so I spent nearly a million credits buying it. Then I realized I would need to spend another half million to pull the mods out of my clown outfit raid gear so I can actually wear the non-hideous stuff. Completely inexcusable.

Ryyyhn Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like it, but the tights are a little weird. Luckily you can remod orange gear and keep set bonuses or so I think with PVE gear at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AslanisKing Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 What sucks is obviously from these posts at least a good amount (30%-60%?) of Sages are Male. Mine is. And I get that caster classes wear robes which is why my WoW Mage was female. Why I rolled male was I thought Sage male would be more unique. I knew what I was getting into, knew the story wasn't about a ****** uber-masculine space marine and was more about a geeky space healer/librarian who becomes a general + politician and enjoyed leveling my Sage to 50 and actually I don't hate my current gear look. The dark green and weird hood somehow work. That said I think Bioware went too far as the game went on. Here is the thing: we realize you have limited dev time and cannot always make gender specific clothing. And also Sages will wear dresses and robes. They just will. But your dresses are so feminine all over that its neigh-immasculating to imagine playing as a Sage. Then it doesn't help that many of our moves are very weak looking like Pebble throws or limp wristed lightsaber flicks. There are a couple of things that would improve the mood of Sage players esp Male ones. a) If you make graphic designs err on the side of butch if you want to share looks no male wants a shoulderless look mixed with a dress, now you CAN have a shoulderless look but it should be more like a Shaolin robe or something Mortal Kombaty. b) Adding a couple new animations would make dudes feel more dudey. For the Pebble throw what would look awesome is if the pebbles were like rock daggers and we punched the air quickly rather than had a stiff arm held up. Would look more dynamic and interesting. If these changes are too hard at least give us a gender change option like Blizzard gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Nala Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm so glad I made my Consular a female. Now that I don't have to wear the space nun look, I am looking forward to the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksarevok Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I like how we complained about not being able to turn off hoods since this game was released, and Bioware acknowledged it and said in the future we would be able to turn off hoods. You would think, given the response, any new gear they designed would have a hood that could be turned off via the show helmet option. ...but nooooooooooooo, once again we are stuck not being able to remove it. Which sucks, because I really like the new PVE set aside from the stupid hood. Huge disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlgon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Come on guys.. you know they make it so ugly because they want you to destroy it to extract the mods with the new system and stick it in your level 10 orange robes you like so much.

Nerak-Ral Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 "It's not a dress, it's a tunic. It was the height of fashion 3,000 years ago." Every time I see any Sage robe, I think of that quote by Hank Azaria in Night at the Museum:Smithsonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beakertanks Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just want to add my voice. Jedi Consular Black Hole and Campaign is criminally terrible. Jedi Consular War Hero is merely hideous and embarrassing. Seriously I support a new patch just to change these skins. Also your skin designer needs to be reigned in ... severely.
