Aelther Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Be careful, they're being vague about which issue he's talking about. On the "Known Issues" thread, it's listed as: •Revan's Robes do not have the correct appearance when equipped. It's not clear whether they're referring to the clipping issue, the double-hood issue, or that they got caught recoloring random robes and calling them "Revan's" Be careful about their promises. They promised us "Revan's" armor, and this is what we got. I'm 90% sure they are talking about the skirt, because the skirt IS called Revan's Robes. (while chest is called Revan's Chest Plate and mask is called Revan's Mask). So it does not look vague to me...

CrazyOldMystic Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What on earth is this? Under known issues the companions ability to unify their colors, for their armor is not listed. Someone want to explain this? Sorry but I am not going to let this go. This is a every day issue, that sub players have to deal with every time they log in.

tman_ac Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Of course we want to fix it. Somewhere along the line something happened that resulted in this mistake. Thanks to the efforts in this thread, we're able to pinpoint this as needing to be fixed. When you are going to fix it BW, can you please give me an answer if THIS will be fixed as well?

MrRuck Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hey everyone, thank you for pointing this out. We're going to work on a solution to this, but know that it will take a bit of time for it to arrive in a patch. In the meantime, we've added this to our Known Issues. Thank you for your patience. Does that include: It's not a bug but a design oversight! A bug are the two hoods (one is clipping thru the cowl on the back!) on the Revan's chestplate haha. ?

Elfa Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone, thank you for pointing this out.

Ok, two things Joveth. This isn't a bug hunt. As someone who has fixed an issue like this before, it doesn't take nearly any time for a seasoned pro to fix an issue like this so suggesting that it's gonna take time to show up in some future patch is sad. Second, I've been trying to point out clipping issues in this stupid game for like 8 months and you guys not only never respond, none of the issues I've pointed out have ever been fixed. How long have you people known about speeder bike cape clipping for example, possibly the most visible clipping in the whole game and yet have done nothing. You know what, I think I understand why you guys don't talk to us. It isn't because we're rude or don't deserve it. It's because you can't make any promises and you can't talk about anything. Basically, you're zip-tied with duck tape over your mouth by EA and have been given a job to do with no actual freedom to do it. You can't talk about anything, you have no answers about anything, everything is always coming soon or off in the distant future when robots rule the Earth. If you guys can't get a simple clipping issue fixed by the very next patch, then hire more people for crying out loud and if you can't afford it, then tell the board of EA directors to take a pay cut since looking at their stock, they aren't doing their jobs at all.

Mara_Zyras Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 in my opinion the mask is spot on. the robes are nice and i would like them in the game, but they are not revans robes. these are revans robes and what they should look like. http://www.swingtimeorchestra.com/darth_revan.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please make sure this includes the up hood and down hood clipping (you may have to make the uphood larger to fix this) and also the mask clipping through the up hood on male body type 3?

Selenial Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 SWTOR REVAN: http://athalran.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/revan.jpg Wher did you get that picture? Revan has a green saber in it with an asteroid behind him... Doesnt he have a purple one in the foundry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt he have a purple one in the foundry? Yes he has a purple one, but it was hard to find a screenshot with his robe showing, (usually all of them are only showing him above the waist) so I just used whichever I could find that showed what I wanted to show. Also according to Wookieepedia his lightsaber was green, he only changed it to purple when he travelled to the foundry. Anyway, found another image http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120520103151/starwars/images/2/26/RevanFinalDuel01.jpg with a purple lightsaber if you somehow think my original screenshot was fake... And you can still see that the Cartel robe is wrong.. Edited December 14, 2012 by Aelther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeeke Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Wher did you get that picture? Revan has a green saber in it with an asteroid behind him... Doesnt he have a purple one in the foundry? Actully that screenshot is from beta, during beta Revan had a green saber but a lot of fans complained as the only source of him using a green saber is the cover of the Revan novel. A lot of sources say he wields a Blue or Purple saber i believe. EDIT: heres a bit from the wiki "Revan wielded a violet-bladed lightsaber when he acquired his trademark helmet on Cathar.[21] By the end of the Mandalorian Wars, however, Revan's lightsaber shined a deep cyan.[6] Upon falling to the dark side of the Force and becoming a Sith Lord, he would change his lightsaber color to crimson.[7] Following his capture, reconstruction and redemption, Revan would once again utilize a blue lightsaber crystal in his fight against Malak and the Sith.[6][35] After the end of the war he switched to a green lightsaber which he used during his journey to the Unknown Regions.[2] After his awakening from stasis, he once again wielded a violet lightsaber."

Kinda love how we still have screenshots of Beta Revan with non messed up green shade. Pretty sure that one thread is correct about there being a patch that messed up the shades of saber colors.

GoldSting Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The thing is though, you're not Revan. Sure the lower robe doesn't look great, and really could be replaced with other robes, but I think the more different it is, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiniba Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm sure this already got addressed in the many posts I didn't read but... First off learn what "bug" means. There is no bug here. They didn't design the outfit one way then it accidentally changed it's appearance. Also, Revan could easily have worn many different outfits in fact I bet he did. My father has a Peyton Manning shirt from when he played for the Colts...that doesn't mean people wearing the Bronco's version are "bugged.

Thanks to the efforts in this thread, we're able to pinpoint this as needing to be fixed. I actually think it's feasible that they originally intended a different look...perhaps they built a unique robe or found one in game that was much closer than this one and when it was applied a slipup somewhere applied the robe we see instead.

Sure the lower robe doesn't look great, and really could be replaced with other robes, but I think the more different it is, the better. Then don't call it 'Revan's'. And if you want to use different robe, no one is holding a blaster to your head and forcing you to use it. So no need to start opposing the request to fix this issue. Many people want the real Revan's robe, not this re-colored Investigator's robe. I'm sure this already got addressed in the many posts I didn't read but... First off learn what "bug" means.

My father has a Peyton Manning shirt from when he played for the Colts...that doesn't mean people wearing the Bronco's version are "bugged. I know it's not a bug, but it is still a mistake, because someone accidentally put the wrong robe. I used a word bug to attract more attention. And if there was no mistake, then BW would not have put this into 'known issues' section. Yes of course he wore many different clothes, however when you think of Revan's Outfit, you think on the classic one from all the cutscenes and about the one he wears in game. My Revan in KOTOR even wore some Mandalorian armor, so do we have to rename Mandalorian armor to Revan's armor now? Stop trolling.

I suspect it's a recoloured version of the "Investigator's Robe". That explains the wrong style bottom piece & the chest piece sharing the same double-hood error.

This image shows the double-hood clipping I & others have been referring to. #1 is the correct model, #2 & #3 (Revan & Investigator respectively) are bugged; very hard to stop noticing once you've seen it. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2622/doublehood.png Edited December 15, 2012 by MrRuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have just ripped the set straight from an NPC and there wouldn't have been any problems at all. But at least they know the error now.

Staavis_SC Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Maybe somebody already asked this, but what happens to the folks who actually like the robes as they appear now? I fully recognize that some people want 100% fully authentic genuine KOTOR Revan robes. However, some of us got these robes because we thought they looked better than many of the alternatives. So are we now to end up with changed robes, which don't match what we originally purchased off the GTN for their looks? Please Bioware, I ask you to consider this before you start tinkering with the existing mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, some of us got these robes because we thought they looked better than many of the alternatives. Realise that those 'some' people also paid money and did not get what they wanted, and I really think that ~70% of people did not even notice that the robe is wrong and will not notice if they fix it, ~20% did notice that it's wrong and want the 100% real thing and only ~10% like it as it is. If they fix Unify Colors too, Muse & Investigator lower robes would look identical with Revan's Chest Plate.

Krull- Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 As stated on another post, I will continue to bring the " Hoodgate" fiasco to the attention of Bioware until its fully resolved. I cannot understand how some of us purchased your cartel packs in order to receive this product and it turned out be broken. Maybe it was advertised as being broken? We for what we paid for?
