ryniloym Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I can't speak for everyone but I really liked being able to buy cool looking gear from the planetary vendors. I don't know why they were removed but the game feels kinda cheap without them. I know the intent was to make gearing up easier but it just seems like there's a huge gaping maw there now. The weird thing is I didn't even realize how much I would miss the gear vendors until they were taken away. I don't mind everything else, I like the rest of the new stuff. Thanks for reading, Max
Emersyn Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 They did have some cool looking sets - I dont understand that change either
Jedi_riches Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Sometimes a companions starting gear looked great, sometimes a piece of cartel gear looked good on others but sometimes there was gear from venders that was just right for some companions, while some are still in game from random drops you have to be lucky or use GTN for some gear now (if they are even on GTN)
Eillack Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 They did have some cool looking sets - I don't understand that change either Their excuse that it was too hard to convert stats, so they removed them for now / the long term. BUT good news, we have scavenge the entire game looking for pieces that look like vendor gear apparently...
Rouakh Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) All previous cool sets dropping as legacy gear from the crates you turn in to your allaince band, after finishing story. Edited October 26, 2015 by Rouakh
GordoKhan Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Also bring back cartel certificate gear... looks like a bunch of stuff is missing. Mask of Nihilus for instance. Edited October 26, 2015 by GordoKhan
azudelphi Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Personally, I think it would spare them a ton of grief if they brought back all cosmetic shells for weapons and armor on vendors.
GreyestJedi Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I totally agree! Please bring back the gear, equipment and weapon vendors. I play this game for two reasons, Story and fashion. You guys have totally devastated a huge portion of the game for me. I will not be subscribing again until the gear vendors come back at least on the republic/sith fleets. I use to love buying gear, weapons and sabers with my commendations. I mean you did one kool thing by allowing companions to wear any gear....but then took away all the gear ***!?!? Also side note I think 12xp for class stories should be given to subscribers permanently.
Karkais Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 They did have some cool looking sets - I dont understand that change either I have a feeling it was made to give crafters some market.
lizziandme Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I know the reasoning is that the gear is similar with other sets, but I'd like to suggest that the vendors are put back with the gear MINUS the stats ... just the shells. That way the exact gear is still available, maybe put the vendor(s) down in the cartel market area or maybe put them all in a room by themselves. That's a good compromise I think?
sentientomega Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 If they ever bring back the vendors containing this saber: http://tor-fashion.com/vile-strategist-lightsaber/ Please, let the alignment requirement be removed, so both Reps and Imps can get them.
AlrikFassbauer Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I'd like to have the old gear back as well.
ValidAvailable Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 One would hope. "Its available from Alliance crates" does no good for characters who aren't yet running the KOTFE stuff, and random lockboxes from the updated Heroics are certainly no substitute.
Clarian Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah, I'm hoping they'll bring them back...empty shells for both armor and weapons would be fine with me.
Sposchel Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I definitely want to see them brought back. I liked the look of the gear they offered, and often used it for companions. And yes, I understand that we no longer need to gear companions for stats (something I also enjoyed), but if I could I would still be periodically updating my companions' outfits from the gear vendors. It's just too boring for them to wear one outfit from 1-60, and I like feeling like I'm watching out for my companions as I gear up too.
sentientomega Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah, I'm hoping they'll bring them back...empty shells for both armor and weapons would be fine with me. The empty shells, with alignment requirements neutralised, would go along way to making alot of us very happy, I'd wager.
