mitlessner Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Anyone else feel this way? Having a hard time playing Rishi. Why does my Vanguard look like a pirate? Nothing about the planet feels anything like Star Wars anymore. Feels/looks like Booty Bay in WoW. C'mon Bioware where is your integrity? meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelefantos Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Why does my Vanguard look like a pirate? Because you're lazy and couldn't be arsed to spend a few seconds to take out the mods and put them into armor you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Because you're lazy and couldn't be arsed to spend a few seconds to take out the mods and put them into armor you like? I LOL'ed. On a more serious note, the all pirate-themed island ran its course way sooner than expected for me. The absence of memorable characters and lackluster story didn't help. Only redeeming factors I can find on Rishi are the Slayers Three, which had potential but were ultimately underused, and Arankau. The Rishi Maze skybox also looks beautiful.

psandak Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Rishi is a jungle planet that is a smuggler/pirate/criminal haven. So the look and feel is just fine by me. As to the "pirate" appearance to the equipment that drops through questing...a segment of players did want more "pop culture" references in SWTOR, and now they have it.

DarthDymond Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We live in a post-Dex Jettster world, I've accepted that Star Wars in no way has a consistent 'look' to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that the pirate look is any more "pop cultish" than the Space Cowboy for smugglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khevar Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) I don't know that the pirate look is any more "pop cultish" than the Space Cowboy for smugglers.

Cotlu-Hunlon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm just glad it's the fantasy Treasure Island pirates with parrots, palm trees and eyepatches - instead of the modern day ******, murdering and drug trading pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of Pirate has existed in Star Wars since the 70's. The largest population of that type of Pirate is found on Tatooine under the patronage of renowned Captains such as Jabba Desilijic Tiure.

We're playing in the era of adaptive gear, where most late game gearsets (not even counting EVERYTHING from the CM or Social Gear) is completely moddable, and wearable by anyone. You only have one person to blame for your charater not looking how you want him/her to look. And it's not the dev team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhinch Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't know that the pirate look is any more "pop cultish" than the Space Cowboy for smugglers. I wish that the space cowboy thing for the smugglers would vanish, it grates on my nerves. Why do I need a wide brimmed hat in space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damask_Rose Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 When I googled Star Wars pirates I found quite a few piratey pirates. This one was the best though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
