Kakashioftheye Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I play a Jedi Guardian, and I just assembled my war hero set for pvp. I'm glad that I've finally gotten all of the pieces, but I'll be blunt and just say that the color scheme is horrible. Would it ever be possible to change the colors on your armor with a color shader, or possibly a new vendor who could dye/modify your armor's color. Also, wouldn't it be cool to be able to design your own guild crest to emblazon your armor with? Maybe I'm crazy, but I just wanted to throw the idea out for the community and hopefully the devs to discuss, Edited June 21, 2012 by Kakashioftheye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kourage Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Because they design the armor how they want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakashioftheye Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Because they design the armor how they want it. sigh.....please does anyone else have an opinion on this, from a technical standpoint would it be hard to pull off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakashioftheye Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 So I guess no one is interested in this, even though a lot of people have viewed this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungan Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Apparently BioWare doesn't think this is a good MMO feature for their stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakashioftheye Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Apparently BioWare doesn't think this is a good MMO feature for their stories. Are you saying that choosing armor color would take away from the whole "sith wear black and red armor and jedis wear earth tones and white" distinction? If that is what you're saying then I understand your point but there are many "lore" exceptions to that rule. Plus this is an MMO, and I believe that this would be a true communion between the players and the developers. No offense to the devs, but many people I have talked to hate the endgame armor for their characters (especially on the Republic side). I complain about my guardian's armor, but i feel really bad for all the smugglers running around in their wh gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting your modifications to show up on cutscenes, however, might be. Oh - and you can have your color-dye system 6 months after I get Light Armor PANTS on the Empire side.

They are called Supreme Inquisitor Legwraps http://www.torhead.com/item/5yDc9m3/supreme-inquisitors-legwraps Also, the war hero and campaign/black hole for inquisitors are pants as well.

OpticRefit Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 And the social 1 outfit on the social vendor in the Dromund Kaas cantina. Light armor pants, gloves, shirt, boots, and hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - I have never once seen these things. Not on a player, and not on the GTN. I will be looking for them now, though. These came with the schematic influx of 1.2? I suppose I should have specified pants that are as easily obtainable as the Republic variants. Riôt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think its a good idea to be able to colour our armours for more individuality. To go a step further, I'd even say, have kits to colour our ships and speeders too. I hope they'll show the armours some love, quite honestly the designers need to be fired...like, whats with this creature of the black lagoon pvp armour. I have no desire to wear that...

Riôt They were not added in1.2 - they are just a lvl 40ish world drop As far as easily obtainable, the social pants on Dromund Kaas like somebody else said are pretty easily obtainable.

Socialist Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I just want an orange version of the blue Chancery set. If on a black scheme, even better. That would solve most rants on lv 50 Sith Inquisitor gear being unsithy. Edited June 22, 2012 by Socialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress_Ivi Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 EA wants us to look a very certain way, unless they change their minds... you're stuck with it. But yes, something I miss from SWG... dye kits. oh, and a Appearance tab. That worked amazingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakashioftheye Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 They're just awful. While I do agree with ^this, I'm so glad more people chimed in. I'd like to hope that this game can be what we make of it. I definitely don't want to look like mirror images of others on my fleet, and I think this would add some much needed diversity to our servers. We have the power to help the dev's understand what we want out of this experience, so i think we should all focus on that. The fans want the same things out of this game that the dev's want , it's success. I'm not saying that this idea equals this game's success, but i do think we should voice our opinions in a constructive manner in order to better communicate with the people who put many years into the development of this game. I really love my server and my guild, but I can't stop thinking of ways to make this game better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
