Dulfy 26 Comments Sep 10, 2012

The Dread Guard armor set coming in patch 1.4 (obtained from Hardmode Terror from Beyond) is going to have identical models to the current Campaign/Black Hole gear but features new color schemes. Here is a preview of their color schemes.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE COLOR SCHEMES ARE NO LONGER VALID AS OF 9/19. PLEASE SEE THIS POST WITH THE NEW COLOR SCHEME.

Operative/Sniper

Mercenary/Powertech

Sorcerer/Assassin

Juggernaut/Marauder

Scoundrel/Gunslinger

Commando/Vanguard

Sage/Shadow

Guardian/Sentinel

Thanks so much for putting these images up. Looks like I’ll be ripping out everything and putting it in my Battlelord gear for another few months……how ever designed the pub Jedi gear should be beaten with a stick!

  There’s a reason why my main and secondary toons are Imps, I just couldn’t stand the look of the gear on my Sentinel and Shadow.

You’ll be wearing that Battlelord gear till they add F2P, and add some decent looking armor sets to the cash shop.

@EAWare: Nice recolors. How about you actually come up with something Star Wars-y…?
- Pairaka
  
  They’re not even “nice” recolors. The colors are awful.

Yeah, nice. Those are armor for Power Rangers, Saber Rider and Guild Wars?

Hello! Helloooh! Hello Bioware!? This is an Star Wars MMO!

I think this post should be renamed “dread guard texture preview”. the fact that they used the same models is very dissapointing

What’s this samurai cowboy crossover for smuggler? WTF!? This is Star Wars, not Ninja Turtles vs Star Sheriffs!!!

  Looks like a Mounty
Kishiro

god i hate the asshole who comes up with the republics gear – for the most part it always looks like shit. stop the damn favoritism give out some classic Star Wars robes or something that looks like a Jedi would wear…..
Mythos

Did bioware fire all their graphic designers or something? cant we get some nice looking gear models for a change!
- Ry
  
  Yep, new tier but same gear models, oh wtf were they thinking.
Tark

Hopefully we’ll get new models with the next content patch. We have now another 3 armor sets recolored. (Tionese/ Columini/ Rakata & Black Hole/ Campaign/ Dread Guard)

For those who are not pleased with how gear looks (and I can’t blame the republic players) I am fairly sure that you can rip out the mods and put them in something else and still keep the set bonuses with this tier of gear, so if you REALLY hate the look of this gear, you can put it in a look you like.

For the love of… why can’t we have some NEW armor. Add a freaking paint kit into the game and let us choose our own colours and then actually put some effort into the freaking design of the armor that is the only thing in the game that you can really get from the end game content.

Poor showing, the instance had better be fun to make up for this.
Kissakias

worst design ever = SW and SI, completely for the ROFLs

Even Global Agenda has more beautiful and awesome and good looking sci-fi armor sets
Mentho

Either the “Borg” from Star Trek has assimilated the Star Wars’ universe. Or some freaky looking demons escaped from the Hades.

On another note. If the Sorcerer/Assassin attempts to scratch themselves or go to the bathroom–they may end up losing some body parts or bleeding to death.

Thank god I am a sage! I get another shitty look :s

What do the new colors look like in the update they did on 9/18?

They’ve updated the models as of today on the PTS (on the pub side at least), if you’re looking to update this post, Dulfy. No more condiment colors for the pubs!
- Ritha
  
  I can confirm this. The new colours are much better =]
- Dulfy
  
  hey there, thanks for the info, I have made a new post with the new color schemes 😀

Crap, crap, crap…I say we all cancel our accounts for a month. Protest the new armor. Why can they put up concept art first…let the players vote on the new armor that we are paying monthly for
- Dulfy
  
  Dread Guard will be last set of armor in the same tier. Next tier we will be getting new armor and hopefully the armor model that everyone is asking for 😀
