Hei_Atzfel Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well let me introduce you to typical female character armor designs. And this is from a "serious" MMO. There are many many others that exist primarly for the objectification of their female characters. I think you could have given a better example on your second point.

BarrinMarshall Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Sry, I really can't see any point in these half-naked gear you have released in the latest packed. Isen't this a game with combat and not a beach party game? Or do you have a 14 years old designer with hormones running.. It is just stupid. A. Princess Leia was in the same outfits during Return of the Jedi and nobody complained, kid movie and all. B. I'm a 40 yr. old man and my hormones are running. C. Pick a Miley Cyrus video (any of them) and you'll see more flesh and simulated **** than you will ever see in this game. D. Stop being a Prude E. If your that friggin offended, cancel your sub, give me your stuff and thank your personal God that this game does have some decent designs and creative flexibility instead of the completely sterile world you want to live in.

Oneirophrenia Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Sry, I really can't see any point in these half-naked gear you have released in the latest packed. Isen't this a game with combat and not a beach party game? Please stop talking about combat and skimpy outfits in the same breath as if there is some logical connection between the two. There isn't. As a matter of fact, those of you who are trying so hard to paint a connection between the two should probably look back to our very own history and get educated. The fact is that not every warrior go into battle wearing a full suit of plate/chainmail/banded armor like those medieval knights or Roman legions. African tribes (Maasai/Zulu/etc), Polynesians (Samoans/Tongans/etc), Native Americans (Mayan/Aztecans/Apache/etc), Germanic/Gauls, Mongols/Huns, just to name a few, all wore little to no armor in battle. Heck, the Scottish "highland warriors" went to war wearing kilts for crying out loud. Even in the modern time the vast majority of wars are fought by combatants wearing nothing but fabric and *maybe* a steel helmet. Body armor like flak jackets, kevlar or ballistic ceramic vests are only available to the select few solders from certain countries.

ptwonline Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 There's 2 points to the half-naked gear: 1. People were requesting them. They don't necessarily want **** gear, but something that shows a bit of skin was wanted. For example, more skirts would be nice, and not loin cloths. 2. They are easy to make since it is just taking existing outfits and removing a bit. SImilar to how they make "new" outfits by just changing the colors around.

What was the point of putting Leia in a gold bikini, or having half of Padme's shirt torn off in Ep II. It's all Star Wars. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerz Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) It does seem that it would allow for a certain freedom of movement and increased range of motion over traditional armors or giant, spikey shoulder pads. This quote explains the phenomena well: Less armour = moves faster = more dodging = less getting hit. SCIENCE.

morfius Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Those treads start to look stupid after some time. This is a game, some skimpy is always wanted in such games, no lore or reality have something to do here. And there was always "naked" gear in the game ... go to Nar Shadaa cantina and see social one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth-Rion Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) And when was the last time any of you saw our soldiers charge at the enemy with a lazer sword while wearing a bath robe in the middle of a battlefield ? Edit: After reading thoroughly, this point was made already. I'm curious though, what -specific- armours bother you? Inquisitors and Consulars have been running around in slave gear since the beginning of TOR (back when social gear was light and not adaptive), hell even some other classes were doing the same despite the armour type. Now, 'm not one myself to dress my gun wielders in the likes of the relaxed gear because it doesn't make sense in my eyes, but I'm also not one to complain if I see it on someone else. Did any of you ever play WoW? Nearly every plate outfit on females was a metal bikini. Edited February 28, 2014 by Darth-Rion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suromir Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yes because in a game where you shoot lightning out of your arse and get shot point-blank range by a plasma-tossing firearm just reeks of "realism" let's complain about the clothing when we're not smacking each other in the face with laser-bats and shooting each other point-blank with cannons.

Ilayas Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 So, tell me. When is the last time you saw our soldiers wear bikinis and swimsuits on the battlefield? When's the last time you saw a space wizard with a laser sword on the battlefield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuhu Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 As a female, i honestly don't mind. In all honestly i tend to wear the less-armored outfits in the game. Why? Because they look cool to me. And as an RP-er, it opens up some more paths. From a developers standpoint, its adding a mix into the game to please people who want "skimpy" clothing and adding in equally foot-ball-like bulky armor. For some strange reason people have been complaining alot about this and to each their own. But let's put it this way: Are you forced to wear it? NOPE. Are you forced to like it? NOPE. You have a right to voice your opinion, i'm not denying that, i'm just saying, look at it from both sides. From observations, i get a sense there is a majority of people who don't mind what outfits are in the game. I personally love some of the "skimpy" stuff they have added in. Not too exposed as the dancer stuff, and not too overly armored to look like a walking tank (unattractive IMO) (referring to Exposed Extrovert). Don't take away what alot of other people find enjoyable. Okay, your point taken. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BH ? no This right here is what the main problem with discussing "lore" on these forums is. That and peoples views on what is and is not star wars. People claim to know what is and is not star wars, but then it turns out they have only read/watched maby 10% of all the EU stuff out there. And yet they make claims like the one above. People need to wake up and realise that star wars is an entire galaxy. If you can think of something, it probably has been done somewhere already.
