TheronFett Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) /signed We need to whine loudly about this, because it's ridiculous that the supposed best gear in the game looks like total crap. I honestly wouldn't even bother with it and would settle for being gimped than to run around looking like a Beast Wars Transformer.

Kurfer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yup, i'm dead serious I wont use it. I'll store the fking PvP reward commendations because I refuse to buy into the graphic's designers "vision" and look like some low rate predator wanna-be. Garbage gear, terrible...terrible job by the quality team for even allowing this junk. The PvE gear looks even worse! Is there a suggestion forum to link this thread to?

Kurfer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Glad we are not the only class un-happy with the current state of gear. Basically level 1-49 = moddable gear with lots of choices to make your character look unique to your liking. Level 50 = everyone looks the same with some of the most poorly designed graphics models in an MMO ever. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=105015&page=12 Needs to be fixed, will kill end game which = losing player base in early lifecycle of an MMO.

Flowerslayer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 This is what'll pass for artwork these days? Was it bring-your-kids-to-work day at the HQ or what? Its absolutely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyynk Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Ya, that doesn't look so great. I like how the Merc PVP set looks tho and the PVE set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendakStarkiller Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Since gear bonuses are 4/5 you can at least find a better helm to make it not look so bad... Here's my character with a modded orange... Only drawback is that you cant rip the expertise off the pvp helm but at least I could rip off the other stats. http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/2923/47635417.pnghttp://img341.imageshack.us/img341/932/me2cv.pnghttp://img401.imageshack.us/img401/5807/me3g.pnghttp://img403.imageshack.us/img403/6311/me4q.png I refuse to wear that stupid terribad excuse for a pvp helmet that they have for us bhs.

Vordy Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Why cant you cutomize your own armor and the colors on it? Shouldnt be able to change stats though ofc. But its sooooooooooo damn boring to see everyone look the same (well there is 2 different ways, one in PvP and one in PvE). I hope im not the onlyone who think this way, I want to have a special look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandzibar Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 they spent all their time on the low/medium level suits.. all high end gear for pretty much all the classes (BH and Trooper especiall) looks awful. Terrible low poly models, horrible texturing, awful designs. I guess they either ran out of time and rushed to finish, or the art director for SWTOR just gave up giving a crap towards the end of development and approved any old sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishbrewed Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I can live with that pvp set, hide helm and I'm sure it looks more appealing on the bigger body types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintcasey Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Why the hell did they choose the worst looking BH set from Beta to be the champ and centurian pvp armor sets? They look absolutely HORRID on any body shape other than the big burly shape. It looks like I'm wearing a cardboard box with chicken legs on my small size dude... Shouldn't the high level gear look more mandalorian... Hell the level 50 blue pvp set looks better. If they implement a way to use other items in appearance slots I don't care but for now this is so dumb, could of at least chose the old pyro set that is now a PVE raid set, . I mean imo there should be mods with +expertise so we can just mod our own stuff to be pvp geared. Even if you had to pay a lot of coms for them I'd rather do that. Anyway... I mean look for yourself, http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/367/pvpreally.jpg -disappointed BH. The low quality textures don't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daecollo Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) They need to add Dark/Light/Neutral Sets based off this armor... (Crimson Red Set, make it Neutral so everyone can wear...)http://www.torhead.com/search/CrimsonRequires Light IRequires Dark IRequires Social II.Requires 10k Per PiecesRequires Level 46. (Dark Set, Make it Black)Requires Dark III.Requires Social I.Requires 6k Per Piece.Requires Level 50. (Light Set, Make it Dark/Light Blue)Requires Light IIIRequires Social I.Requires 6k Per PiecesRequires Level 50. Based off http://www.torhead.com/search/Crimson from Beta. This set was removed... it would be nice if it was added back for us since it was one of the best looking sets in the game, we are suppost to be mandalorians from the storyline, let us purchase this armor from the "Crimson Vengeance" from merchants. Also, fix the tracer missile animation, replace with concussion missile one, and give concussion missile the tracer missile animation.

Darth_Precursor Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't know who designed this stuff but, I'm pretty sure it was a gay shark Agreed. I'm not quite level 50 yet, but from the looks of things, the armor I receive wont be very rewarding. We need a dev to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlpirate Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 So many armors for both bh and trooper are just insanely bad. would it have been that hard to do something mandalorian like? Wouldnt that make some sense??? And then u cant even color ur armor, so eventually we will ALL look alike. SOmeone has already posted it and i have seen it talked about in other threads(there armor isnt any better), we should be able to buy epic mods and put them into watever we want. I saw a sith inq with freaking horns on his head the other day. who ever thought that was a good idea needs to be whiped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingGibs Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The art design for this game bows waaay too much to WoW's cartoonish graphics. It forces you to make the choice between looking how you want and taking a hit on armor stats or having the best gear and looking like a clown. I get it that the art directors for the game wanted to give it its own look, and the artists were probably told to steer away from mandalorian looking designs, but come on. None of this stuff even remotely looks like the art on the loading screen or any of the cinematics. At least its a step up from those track suit looking armors in KOTOR but that's not saying much.

Darth_Sookie Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I feel bad for you guys. Ones i saw how terrible the armor looked i shelved my bounty hunter. Atleast i get to look kickass as a Juggernaut in my pvp gear. There are so many cool looking Mandalorian style armors in the game it boggles the mind why all bounty hunter sets looks like junk. Hell my BH companion looks more awesome than a full pvp geared guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecollo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 http://www.torhead.com/search/CrimsonThis was a Mandalorian Armor Set, but it was removed from the game in Beta because bioware didn't want a social set only heavys could use, but it should be added for bounty hunters in different colorsm IMO.

Geekcheck Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Both are terrible, but the PvP gear is far worse. I took the liberty of going through all the sets and have to say, whatever art team designed these suits needs to be reallocated to another section of the game. They clearly have no concept of the lore or design in terms of what players want. You can tell they did very little to no research on the type of armors and visuals that are sought after. No matter how good the artist is, they are virtually useless without the proper time to research their subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecollo Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What I want is the Mandalorian Armor the NPCs wear with a cybernetic looking implants in it and maybe a shoulderpad/gunstraps, with damaged pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malformed Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) The Ciridium set from corellia heroic mission rewards was ideal for me tbh. still in the game, but different skin. it was the same as mandalore's golden armor, i just never found the right chest piece for it so i used the merc chest from foundry (shiny silver) until i grabbed something better statwise. with armor matching my mercenary looked like: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/flames2r.jpg/ slightly better view of the back. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/407/jetpack.jpg/ even though i grouped up with different bh's all the time for heroics and fp's, I never saw anyone else in that combination of gear. now every bh i group with looks similar or identical. the chest looked like Mandalores, but missing 2 stabilizers and the shoulders, and of course it was silver with a bit of tan and purple instead of gold/tan. duno. i was highly disappointed in the game/devs when i saw they dumbed down all the armor gfx & item modification slots. now everyone pretty much looks the same and most purple gear is less useful than even the lowest level modifiable piece because the armoring mod is perm. crafted gear is in pretty rough shape too. why craft a blue or purple blaster that you cant modify? you can do the daily missions at 50 and get a level 50 barrel & armoring to cap out your gear/stats in any mod slotted gear, so why even get something crafted? the 400 skill blasters look nice, but need to stick better barrels on them. plus the only good dps one (two fingers revenge) is OFFHAND only. *** bioware, ***. we cant even remove the armoring mods from purple pvp gear to put them in something more appealing. anyway... if i could go back to beta as far as armor skins I would, the game just looked tons better from all angles to see diversity between characters. now... this may as well be Star Wars TCW (The Clone Wars) Edited January 2, 2012 by malformed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
