Alec_Fortescue Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Few months ago Eric SAID that there are plans for them. I wonder how long left until we see them in this game? Kinda tired and surprised with the space janitor, gree and a tusken raider sets being pushed in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Moonshadow Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Technically, because we're 3,000 years before the films, WE'RE the traditional. So you are technically already wearing the robes. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZirusZero Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 They are kinda already in game such as the black bisector quest. It's also fully modifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueArbiter Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 the battle expulsor's robe is totally different from traditional robes seen in the pics i linked. so no, they are not in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right. They are so clueless. Also problems with battle expulsor set are: class/armor type restricted Permanent hood up short sleeves UNECESSARY big tubes on gloves and boots Entire set is tough to obtain as it is a Coruscant random world loot. Quite stupid for a generic Jedi outfit. Edited June 3, 2013 by Alec_Fortescue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLynkes Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I never understood how what in the original Star Wars movie was seemingly merely Tatooine fashion, suddenly became "Jedi Robes" in the prequels. Ben dressed that way because he was hiding on Tatooine one assumed, or was Uncle Owen a Jedi too? Luke only dressed like that before he was a Jedi (when he was a simple Tatooine farmboy), and stopped dressing that way when he actually became a Jedi. Why did the Sand People ape Jedi fashion? And if they were so recognisable as Jedi robes, why the hell did Ben keep wearing them while pretending not to be a Jedi? Bit of a bloody giveaway, that one. Maybe because it was never meant to be Jedi fashion, it's just that the creators of modern Star Wars are so creatively bereft that they just copy everything from the original trilogy and then turn it into some kind of archetypal blueprint? Like all Hutts are gangsters and the Twi'leks are an entire race of sexy slave girls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Yoda and Ben wore robes, and both of them were part of the old Jedi Order, when the Order were simply advisers rather than warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merwanor Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I so wish they could make a armor almost like the Valiant Jedi Armor just with a normal robe underneath instead of armor. But instead of giving us what we want, they make useless armors like the Turncoat armor.... I have yet to see anyone with that armor in the game.

I have yet to see anyone with that armor in the game. You're telling me people are reluctant to spend 900 CC on an outfit that looks like a level 1 starter set? Crazy. As others have said, it makes you look like a space custodian. It's terrible. Edited June 4, 2013 by MilleniumSolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 And don't forget the biggest sin of all ... belt outside of the robe. I have no clue what was the reasoning behind such desig as the Valiant set showed there are no technological issues with it. Even before the Valiant set, consulars had access to robes with no belts around waists. So no tech. Just poor design. It almost look like the artists aren't familiar enough with Star Wars and its lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaalik Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I couldn't agree more! when are these coming! I want the valiant Jedi armor with option for hood up/down , long sleeve, and cloth inside the robe instead of armor and no belt or cloth belt..

Alec_Fortescue Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I am unable to find Eric's quote but I am 100% sure he did say that those are in "plans" good few months ago! We all know that plans are changing, though. And yeh, I dream of a valiant-like robe with tunic instead of an armor and brown overcoat with hood down and long sleeves! And then I'd love to get the tunic chest piece on it's own as well. You know, rping throwing the coat away before combat with a boss! I really want to make a quality TOR story movies, properly edited and played without interface at times. I want characters wearing appropriate outfits instead of mix and matching them like on most videos. Some look hideous! I already got an amazing collection in my cargo and collections. It's huge and the only thing I need now is a better PC and traditional hood-down outfitting for Sith and Jedi.

Sardonyyx Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Calling people clueless doesn't help your case. Also putting how many credits you have in your signature is just...wow. They have Jedi robes in game already, but I think you're talking about plain brown ones. You can achieve this by simply getting the Eradicators set, then dying them brown if you want a hood, and if you really don't like the armor underneath then on pub side there are full robes that you can also dye brown that have a shirt underneath, I have one on my Jedi, looks just like Old Bens robe, and your "traditional" robes. Look on the gtn, you will see them I promise, there's at least one or two that look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankiel Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Im with Alec on this one. Sure there are some great robes on the GTN but... hood up, hood up, yeah and hood up. I don't know whats the big deal about putting the hood-down ones on the CM. They are in game, on npc we also could see them in the game trailers.
