Please Add the Master Ranos Armor (DvL Companion Winner) To a Pack or Direct Purchase

She has a fantastic, simpler version of a Jedi armor from 3.x (the chest doesn't have odd metallic shoulder attachments).

 

This is a great, hood-down Jedi set, with intricate robes that aren't movie-era but still look very "Jedi".

 

If it's not possible to add to the CM, could BW consider making the set not bound to Master Ranos? That way, players could use outfit designer to add the look to their character.

 

As players, we spent a good deal of time in the DvL event getting the companion, and it would be great to have access to this set in whatever way can be arranged, specifically the chest. The rest of the set is available in Alliance crates, but the simplified, much nicer chest is not.

 

Edit: Here are links to the version currently found in Alliance crates on Odessen (or old 3.x gear), and Master Ranos:

BW has their own ideas on what's best to add to their packs. We have no idea what dictates this (beyond a profitability bottom line), and it's very much possible that a Master Ranos armor wouldn't meet their criteria.

 

So, I've suggested making her set not specifically bound to her as an alternative, letting players stamp the chest or other pieces into Outfit Designer. This was done with our original Class companions' armor sets when 4.x came out.

 

In any case, I don't believe you are in a position to know how armor sets are assigned to Cartel Packs either.

There's already one in the game. I don't remember the name of the piece, but you can get it from alliance specialists crates, which binds to legacy. It comes in brown and is consular gear.

 

It's not the same. The colors are (white/secondary brown), but there are large shoulder attachments on the chest from the set found in Alliance crates, just as there was for the gear in 3.x.

 

The Ranos armor is not found anywhere in-game, currently or in the past.

 

This is what is in Alliance crates: http://torf.mmo-fashion.com/remnant-resurrected-consular/

 

This is Master Ranos: https://www.google.com/search?q=swtor+master+ranos&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_7ZOR4-_QAhUJx2MKHTIDDdwQ_AUICCgB&biw=1024&bih=503#imgrc=gr9trU9EzZ1syM:

 

Same set, but no metallic shoulder attachments for Master Ranos. This makes a huge difference in look for your character in the game.

 

I am suggesting this because I don't think it would take much work to either unbind it from Master Ranos (kind of an extra reward for those that ran the event) or make it wearable for players and put it in a CM pack (perhaps a silver drop).

The OP is requesting her outfit, not the companion.

 

As someone who spent about a month and a half on DvL primarily to get her, I don't like the idea of her immediately being available for direct purchase. Would kind of be a slap to the face of those of us who spent hours and hours to get her. However, I wouldn't mind if she became available in some way in a year or so, once the newness has worn off. (As someone who missed HK-55, I'd actually like to see that kind of thing for all these exclusive companions. More 'exclusive for a year or so' rather than 'get it now or you miss it forever'.)

If it's not in your plans to add the Master Ranos set, would it at least be feasible to make her armor not bound to her character? This way, we could stamp the armor into Outfit Designer on any of our characters.

 

Think of it as an extra reward for grinding out all the content for the DvL event.

 

Again, this is the set: https://www.google.com/search?q=swtor+master+ranos&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj_7ZOR4-_QAhUJx2MKHTIDDdwQ_AUICCgB&biw=1024&bih=503#imgrc=gr9trU9EzZ1syM:

speaking of companions, wouldn't mind the dark side version to come up in marketplace for possible purchase, and perhaps their lightsabers, which are similar to Kylo's in The Sith Awakens, and perhaps the sith companion's outfit from the dark and light event, perhaps make that available as well.

I do believe the old Companion Set version that's the 192 level 55 gear is the same set. I have tons of the old companion sets. Not sure if you can still get a set from the Yavin missions. Might look into that

 

It's not. It has large shoulder pads on it, just like the Alliance Crate drops.

 

Please see the links in the OP to notice the difference.

Speaking as someone who worked their butt off to get the DvL companion, I wouldn't mind if the Cartel Market had the companion and/or her armor available for direct purchase. It would be especially nice if the Dark Side companion was available as well.
