Radzkie Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/image_thumb81.png ...Why? ...WHHYYYY? ....WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Why did it have to be banana/mustard yellow? First, the Black Hole and up gear is clearly feminine on male consular's, and now they're going to be the same color as the Bananas in Pajamas? Honestly, I am not mad. I'm disappointed and confused as to why this was chosen. Did someone on the design team actually think that that looked good? That is an honest question, not a snipe. I'd love to know because, right now, it almost feels like they are purposely making bad choices. Edited September 12, 2012 by Radzkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radzkie Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I just want to get in the minds of these designers and figure out what they were thinking. There are a million other colors and shades they could of gone with. I get they wanted to have each class use similar colors, but does it HAVE to be that way? A grey, white or dark ocean blue version of this robe would of been a billion times better. Edited September 12, 2012 by Radzkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khevar Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was about to say, "If they finally put great looking armor in the cash shop, I'd spend cartel coins to get it." Then I started to wonder if that's the reason why the current end-game armor sets haven't gotten a better design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidichIorian Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Because it's provocative. It's gets the people going. But yeah, it would have been much nicer looking in plain white or light beige with gold or silver edges.

Why did it have to be banana/mustard yellow? Wow! BW is on a roll with garbage looking JC gear. This design takes the cake though.

Hell, I even like the blue look it has now and thats a bug but I'll take it any day over the BH garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radzkie Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Does it have unique bonus? No ? Who cares how it looks... Right...who cares? Aesthetics is an unimportant part of the world we live in. In reality, most people care about the performance of the game as much as it's graphics. If every outfit on SWTOR looked like Barney the Dinosaur but they all made players super awesome sauce and able to kick everything's butt because they had great bonus' and stats, people may be amused but I doubt people would spend money to subscribe to the game.

wolfyrik Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 What the hell is that? Seriously, what gear is this and why is it so nasty? Consular needs a massive redisign. The early level combat is horrible, the companions are horrible, the gear is horrible, the skills tree's are horrible and the the skill variation is horrible. It's such a shame because they should be so awesome. I've tried several classes and even in the early levels, they're just so much more polished and fun to use, much more focused in their skills and speccs and the gear tends to look amazing. I haven't yet found a piece of consular gear that actually looks good. My characters whole setup is at best, dissapointing. The robe is the best I've found, but looks piecemeal, with a naff looking hood and horrible trims. It looks like it's been patched together from textures from other stuff. Just really mismatched from the back, to the sleeves to the hood. Not one part looks like it belongs with the other. The one pair of custom trousers are nasty. I leave the headpeice off because it's just ugly, a criclet with an unnecesarily large blob on the forhead, and it takes away the hood. The gloves at thankfully are acceptable and less terrible than the previous ones, at least in that they don't glitch with the robe's sleeves. The custom gear on my other toons looks amazing, though. I just wish I could put their stuff on my consular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missandei Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Apparently they reconsidered previous silliness and do recoloring of the Consular set.. The Force-Master set looks somewhat awesome now.. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/image301.png all pictures on dulfy`s: http://dulfy.net/2012/09/20/swtor-1-4-dread-guard-armor-preview-with-new-color-schemes/ Edited September 20, 2012 by Missandei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My. God. ...They listened? I really hope this isn't a prank of some sort and they actually changed the colors. The white version looks really awesome and the other is pretty nice too.
