Fallenius Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Ok so this is mostly for RP reasons but also for the new player feeling after finishing the starter planet questline. The first moddable weapon you get have changed a cuple of times already. And now they are even legacy bound which is great! But the Red Blade Carbine https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/red-blade-carbine/ and the Red Blade Sniper Rifle https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/red-blade-sniper-rifle/ that you get as an Imperial Agent doesn't feel like imperial weapons at all. Infact they look almost the same as the Accurate Boltblaster’s Blaster Rifle MK-2 https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/accurate-boltblasters-blaster-rifle-mk-2/ that you get as a vanguard trooper. This Blaster rifle is a perfect starter weapon if you play as a republic trooper since Havoc Squad is using that in the "Hope" trailer https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/5f/HopeTrailer-TOR.png/revision/latest?cb=20121119190532 (the color is different though) The Red Blade Carbine Should be switched to the Republic Command Carbine https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/republic-command-carbine-2/ and then rename it or atleast remove the "Republic" part of the name. The reason why this Blaster Rifle should be an imperial starter weapon is that all Imperial Troopers in the SWTOR Cinematic trailers are using it. https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/HouGJ1R.png It's an easy way to get different blaster rifles on both sides that all players can get. It's also good for roleplaying guilds who wants to have the same weapons for the whole squad or even the whole guild. Another solution is to put the Republic Command Carbine (renamed) in the Adaptive Gear vendor at the fleet and make it obtainable on both sides. Replace the Trainee's Blaster Rifle with it instead. This bring us to the weapons that you can buy from the Adaptive Gear vendor. I like the Trainee's Assault Cannon https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/trainees-assault-cannon/ that is used by one republic trooper in the "Return" trailer http://www.swtorstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Bounty-Hunter-Trooper-Class-Changes-in-SWTOR-KOTET-750x410.jpg and the Trainee's Blaster Pistol https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/trainees-blaster-pistol/ because it's the most common Imperial Officer pistol in game. Why are all the weapons in the Adaptive Gear vendor class-restricted? it's a bit annoying since you can't give them to any companions. It's the same with many Crafted Armors. the class restriction makes it impossible to use on companions All the weapons mentioned above is already low lvl, so it's not like we are giving new players expensive endgame/cartel market gear. One more thing that ive seen threads about before, is the Imperial Trooper Armor https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/imperial-trooper/ Every time someone bring this up, people get angry. But to be honest how often do you see a player using that armor. It's sitting in the collectors edition vendor on the fleet and is used by no one. I know that some people will say that you can't play as an Imperial trooper anyway and i have seen people post go to ebay and buy the collectos edition. But this is a role playing point of view and if you want to gear your companions and your guild members similar to each other and other npc's you have a hard time doing that on the imperial side. A good way to bring this rare item to more players would be to put it as a direct sale armor on the cartel market for 1000 cc or even 1200 cc. Then old timer Collectors edition players, will still have it for free meenwhile the rest needs to buy it. You can even put up a republic counterpart for the same price. Take this one for example that patrols the republic fleet.https://swtorfiles.jedipedia.net/npp/1200/16141027741323287854.png If people still feel bad about sharing the Imperial Trooper Armor to other players after 7 years since game release, well then put up a new armor at the collectors edition vendor. Maybe a Squad Leader version of the armor that makes it unique or something else that's considered more rare Edited June 5, 2018 by Fallenius broken link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish that it had come with the digital upgrade pack too, as there was nothing from the physical collectors edition I actually wanted so it would have been a complete waste of money to have purchased it. That said, if I never obtain it I won't complain as I did not buy the collectors edition "My choices mattered" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
