1.2 New Armor Models

they all lppk ugly as sin…Bioware make something simple and good that everyone actually wants not dragon age trash! simple good robes. the ones from the trailer were awesome…the closest to them you can get are the Battlelords armour. but what about the JK armour your wearing during character creation. thats awesome gear.

Great work m8!
I hope there will be more info from PTR … like raids/talents/crafts/dailies and stuff like that.

LOL Jedi KNights still look stupid =P

omg consular sage sluts?

What they need to do is stop getting art school dropouts to design their gear and hire a fuckin gay fashion designer, at least that man would have the sense to tell the dev’s OH DEAR CHRIST before they decided to go with these sets…

Man im so glad that i unsubed week ago

i like the sw pvp armor, bh pvp is an improvement… the cent-champ-bm armor for the trooper and smuggler looked better. sorcs look like shit but an improvement imo. really dissapointed with the ia.

this is about the ugliest shit i have ever seen… wtf were they thinking??? this is just f-ing terrible… to say the LEAST

Here is the Devils Advocate question of the day however.
Just what direction DO designers go in, when designing new armor appearances ?
If you use the movies, and cartoons about Star Wars as a Reference, then we’ve already seen most of what you could conceivably imagine as variants w/o being direct copies.
I agree some of the armor models they are showing I would personally not wear. My question wasn’t so much to cause an argument or to debate the fact that the armor models are less than stellar to look at.
My question was born from the thought I had upon looking at the models, thinking to myself, “what is this game going to look like a few years from now, how will my character look?”
In other MMO’s part of the draw to do better and participate in Raids/Operations whatever you’d like to call them, was to get cool looking gear, and as shallow and superficial of a reason as that is to play and pay for an MMO, it worked for many a people to increase the longevity of ones interest in a particular game.
Eg, (that’s why I played WoW for 7 years because while I was waiting for more interesting content and story, some of the cooler armor sets, and other assorted gear kept me just that much interested that I stayed through the not so interesting content times.)
Many of the other games have featured armor sets in them that have come out in later expansions years after initial game release that if you saw them when you first started playing you’d be like “WTF game did THAT come from, it’s hideous!” However good or bad, those armor sets were only bound by a wide style, either Mideval, or High Fantasy or such, where they could afford to have very varying looks. However with Star Wars, you don’t have that much room to play with. The armor and gear we’ve so far seen in the Movies and games as I said earlier, has been of a small varying degree. So basically w/o just doing some color changes over the years, which would get pretty boring, where do you go as far as armor model looks for NEW sets and content, that AREN’T somehow outside the scope of the Star Wars “Feel” and Design.

I find only the pvp sorcerer set good looking. The rest is either mortifying or does not make any reaction on me.
In my opinion it’s like the world of chinese fake plastic toys industry invaded the Star Wars galaxy.

Thanks for posting!

At least it doesn’t have horns… 🙂

glad I came back, whomever designed this crap..I hope they get sucked into a black hole, was really bad then and now after 4 years of improvement..ya they are really really really bad
