OcTwenty Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does anybody know if Bioware have said anything about changing up coming Consular gear to be not so girly. I'm sure the female players of this class have no problems but no one takes me serious as a larger body type male in a white frilly dress with a peacock fan on my head when tanking. or if anybody knows of any custom gear thats remotely manly please let me know. Brb washing my hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeCommando Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 As a male consular, I faced this problem, too. However, as light armor wearers, we get all the benefits of social gear. There are a couple of masculine sets. If your social level isn't high enough, do The Esseles seventy times a day with four people. If that doesn't work, then I'd say look in the Alderaan commendations vendor and you'll find two pairs of modifiable light armor pants. Any top, really, could join with that to look masculine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To-le Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wait until you see the war hero force mystic robe. It has a really wide top that almost exposes your shoulders and looks really feminine. It looks good with the hat but... as the race with no eyes, I chose the red hat head gear. So I look like a cross dressing healing. Good thing they reduced the price for ripping mods....

Jenzali Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I use the Jedi Initiate's Robe with Formal Pants, looks good to me on a Shadow when color unified. Could probably swap out the pants for the ones from the Alderaan commendation vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMarchini Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The only set of armor that I really didn't care for on a guy character are the Tradition Lashaa Silk vestments that you get from doing the various heroics on Nar Shaddaa I believe. http://www.torhead.com/item/gb7mRhi/traditional-lashaa-silk-vestments#screenshots;view:11802 Other than that, the other robes don't look to bad, I can't say for the end game PvE or PvP, but other than that I really don't have a problem with it. I just got the Annointed vine-silk vestments last night on Belsavis, but I can't find a good picture of them for the Republic side, but they look similar to the Noble Jedi Sage vestments you get on Taris. http://www.torhead.com/item/aHOMKjm/noble-jedi-sages-vestments#screenshots;view:8596 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley-Gin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I went with more Of the traditional level 31 dress whites...I look like a Senator or a ****** Chef...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToEasy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 On coruscant I got a nice orange hooded robe from one of the heroics and have been modding that untill I find something better. It has been working out for me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICSWOR Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I went with the ultratech stalker robe&gloves, traditional demicot pants(sp?) and rakata boots all unified to chest, headpiece hidden. The robe looks more like a trenchcoat with the pants and rakata boots. Looks really cool on the quest speeders, particularly on the black one, since the outfit is mostly white.

DarthOvertone Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The War Hero "Jun Horde" Helmet is pretty manly. However, the rest of the set is embarrassing. I'm definitely down for more masculine JC gear options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyvim Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What, you dont like the off the shoulder look? lol Yes, as a general rule, endgame gear in this game is pathetic in its appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malachyg Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I second the motion, my current getup makes me look like an oversized moth and that is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICSWOR Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 One of the big advantages to Campaign gear, you can get your own look. I no longer look like every other Jedi Consular out there, with 13. augments I can still wear my raiding gear and look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakaan Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) 'Could be worse. We could look like swamp people.

Tripnyc Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I totally agree, we need more variance between male/female consular clothing. Its as if Bioware predicted ALL consulars in the game to be female. Please fix this clothing issue!! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJNJ Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm currently running the xenotech chest that drops off kp story, it's a white voss chest with black shoulders instead, looks pretty nice actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishraArtificer Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I...hedged my bets and rolled a female Consular, sorry... That said, if you have access to the CE vendor, the Republic Officer uniform looks quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brb washing my hair. I think maybe you shouldn't make the assumption that we women want to look frilly and "girly." You're very very wrong about it and honestly I've heard more women complaining about it than the guys. So my advice, as someone equally annoyed by the Consular gear, is to check out the Balmorran Resistance social set and the options you get from fleet commendations. I'm wearing the Balmorran Resistance chest and the civilian pilot's pants (fleet comms), which color sync to a nice dark/warm grey. The muse set boots color sync to black, which works well with the other two. I look a _little_ bit like a bounty hunter. http://www.torhead.com/item/j2CS7x/balmorran-resistance-jacket http://www.torhead.com/item/dXKTD1J/civilian-pilot-pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buszkeseg Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I play a large framed male because I wanted to be a fat, lazy Jedi. I'm a little disappointed I can't put my character in the slave girl outfit. : / I really want to dress my bear in skimpy, very unflattering clothes. Anyone know what pieces of gear would work for this? : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soobe Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 On my female Consular, I've been wearing the Muse outfit for so long because it's the least horrid option. On my male, I grabbed something off the AH that was tolerable and fortunately, some kind soul had the entire outfit for sale at a reasonable price. 1 - neither my female nor my male (dear god, especially my male!) Consular wants to wear a fraggin DRESS while slogging through a bloody warzone. Or a prison. Or a planet that, by all rights, should have been LEFT to the god forsaken rakghouls! (sweet baby jawas, I'd give anything to blow up Taris... personally) 2 - none of my characters wants to look like a Vegas showgirl, but especially not my Jedi. And no, Mr. Schubert, we are not freakin WIZARDS (as stated in The Art and Making of Star Wars: the Old Republic)! Nor do some of us want to dress like them. PANTS (or trousers, if you prefer) please. Jedi do actually wear them, you know. Watch a movie or five (I refuse to acknowledge TPM except for Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor) if you need inspiration.

TKofSweden Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Signed! I do want to keep the lower robe though. But more manly chest and heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Tom_T Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Signed! I do want to keep the lower robe though. But more manly chest and heads. ^ This, for the love of god. I'd settle for some better legs that don't look skin tight on every model but I agree the robes are nicely done. The hats... Lord have mercy. Bioware stole the hats right out of the Pope's wardrobe. I'd like it if they implemented more social gear for Consulars to mod out or let us wear the orange moddable Medium/Heavy armour but Adapt it to Light. I can understand why that wouldn't be too popular though My Sage wears the Omenbringers Robe with the Rakghoul Outbreak Social rewards for legs and boots. They're essentially white armour pieces that colour mods nicely but as I understand it, they're no longer attainable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailie Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The Battlemaster set is ok, but the War Hero is just disaterous for both male and female. What on earth are you meant to look like?! I'm running the Voss social gear on my chick. And you can always hide the helm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktaine Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not only more manly but less brown too. Our color choices right now are brown, dark brown and brown. Anakin wore black, Luke wore black. Revan wore black and had a mask as a Jedi. Our only mask looks like Casper the brownie ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
