I knew SWTOR as SW setting was supposed to have... unique fashion sense. But this. Good grief. I saw a preview video of PVE and PVP endgame gear, and goddamn thats so ugly I thought I cry! The endgame Consular looks like a Drag Queen! And others looks just the same bad! And on top, the giantic shoulder pads are attached to the chest piece, so you CAN'T not use them.

Here is the vid for the Republic side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abFMaB9dzyw

And here for Imperial side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NppCNHRz29Y

Comment: the video comments are in German, but I think you can guess what is what. It starts with a preview of the mounts. The commentator says, the preview have low texture in this preview window, but higher textures in real, of course.

Still... good riddance, what did those people SMOKE when the designed THIS! Who WANTS that!

You don't have to wear it if you don't want to.  Gear is a empty shell that you put mods on and has no stats on it's own.

It's the mods that determine the quality and level of the gear not the piece of gear itself.  So if you want to upgrade something you got at level 10 with raid mods you have the same stats but just look like your in level 10 gear.

Some of us want to live out our virtual lives in a Lady Gaga video. I cant help that I was born this way.

imperial stuff looks half decent but yea republic is just horrible. Hopefully it won't look so bad on my female toon..

As I mentioned most gear has mod slots on it.  The gear itself has no stats, the level and stats on gear is determined by the mods you put on it.  So put 3 level 50 purple mods on a lightsaber you got at level 10 and you get a level 50 purple lightsaber that looks like the level 10 one.

Honestly adding a apperance slot would have been much easier to implement but doing mods makes a much more flexible system so I htink it's a great add on.

The system wasn't done over the beta weekend but I read somewher they added over a 1000 new pieces of gear most with mod slots in Monday's build.

Consular looks like the Queen of Naboo

The only one I really hated was the Lady Gaga inspired jedi councilor head dress thingy. 

Are they going to have appearance slots at lauch?

You wear any gear you want, you have the freedom for it so it's brilliant.

Anyhow that gear still looks better than WoW stuff past T6.

Well, you're the one that was whining non-stop about not having same-sex romances in TOR.  This is Bioware's attempt to prepare you for the experience.  

Jesus, is there anything you don't complain about with regards to this game?  

is there really ANYTHING in this game you can't say is practically perfect in EVERY way?

 

 

and yes i quoted mary poppins on you

 

LOL, how can I possibly reply to a Mary Poppins diss?  Btw, I never said whether I liked the Consular endgame look or not.  All I commented on was the OP's incessant whining about the most mundane things imaginable.  No offense to Ellikal, but he gets bent out of shape over dumb shit, pisses and moans about "I'm so on the fence about this game, I hate this, I hate that," and yet will be playing the game come launch.  I just hope I'm not his server, because the general chat is going to be a mess.

gear is a funny thing though cause for some its the sole reason to get to that highest level. Some people just want that super cool looking gear. I'm the sort of player that gear is pretty important but not what I play for soley. I'm playing a third person game here and have to stare at the tale end of my toon for hours on end I'd at least like to be wearing something pleasing to the eye.. Honestly I don't see it as that little of a thing and feel he does have good reason to bring this complaint up

Thats not the final product though,  you have a lot of other options.  Most specifically at 48 my consular had pants on.  PANTS.... not a dress.  

ZOMG, NOT PANTZZZZ!  DA HORROR!  At least tell me they were form-fitting and NOT those silly "skinny jeans."  If they are the skinny jeans, I swear, I am sooooo walking away from this game!  Omg, FAIL BIOWARE!

Maybe, but I'd guess you'd have to view the overall body of work to get the full appreciation for the trivial nature of the gripes.  Personally, I think a game that will have a modding system in place at launch with numerous sets of fully modable social gear one can wear, as well as an appearance tab coming to the game shortly after launch (confirmed), not to mention that 6 out of the 8 classes have pretty bad-ass looking endgame gear already...well, I just think whining about a Consular's dress is pretty nit-picky.  Chances are 100% that he'll never have to wear it when he gets to endgame if he doesn't want to.  

I really do wonder what was wrong with the classic, plain jedi and sith robes/cloak?

Just like this.

You don't remember Luke, Han, Chewie, and Leia repeatedly raiding the Death Star so they could all get phat loot?

As for the person that said to drop 50 mods in a 10 'Saber...

...so this list is wrong?
