I hate to join in the gripping but really? It seems the Dev. Team cannot seem to get anything right lately. Every update fouls up and the maintenance takes a minimum of 3 to 6 hours longer. Here is a novel idea for the Dev. Team. TEST the update prior to uploading it. IF it has a conflict. Fix it before you annoy the members of this community once again. As a subscriber, as many are here. this is most annoying. Make it right. seriously.

I agree with most of the posts in that the 'armor' is not in many cases Star Wars style but more adapted to look like sci fi versions of fantasy armors. One thing would be to have more hoodless armors for the jedi and sith. I have suggested that Bioware put all armors in the cartel at a REASONABLE cost so that people may purchase it. ALL of these armors should have upgrade slots in them. Repeat ALL of the armors should be upgradable. This would allow the players to have the look that they want from start to finish and to increase the upgrades as they level. If you take note of the books and movies, the main characters do not change cloths/armor often, except perhaps Padme who seems to be a fashionista lol. I have also suggested that Bioware use armors from the games of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and The Sith Lords as well. Bastila had many outfit choices that were both bare legged as well as leg covered, bare midrif and midrif covered. This would or should satisfy the girls and guys for sensual looks and non sensual looks. As to hoods, perhaps make them part of helmet head gear rather than on robe. This would allow players to use or not use a hood as they wished. I have sited to Bioware the example of Star Trek in regards to clothing/armor. That game allows for some basic clothing without purchase from the store, and other outfits available by purchase from the store, so that players can have the look that they desire. Also that game allows for different ships for players either by purchase or in game acquisition. As the ship is a minor thing in the game, perhaps Bioware could look into this option as well. I think they would be surprised as to how many players would be very happy with the option of buying clothing or keeping a certain set which is upgradable. They would make more money from the store for certain looks and the players would be happy as well. Some to pay, others to use the basic in game items but still be able to upgrade protection and abilities while keeping a specified look. Bioware is about making money. It is a business and we all understand that. However making customers happy makes a business more money. Especially in a Free to Play environment. It would take very little on Biowares part as far as programming to make all armors upgradable, and nothing as far as new meshs for any existing costumes. However it will make the customers happy. Also put any and all social armors on the cartel so that players are not reliant on if they can get a team together or do not wish to save for missions that require that. I hope Bioware reads this as I believe this solution would go a long way to making customers happy as well as get them more money. As a businesman myself this seems to be a win win situation.
