Dev Post EricMusco Posted June 19, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hey folks, This week I learned about some incorrect information that went out on our flash drives which we gave away during the LA Cantina Tour. I wanted to highlight what was incorrect and to provide the correct information, including some updated screenshots with the correct rewards! The first thing which led to some confusion is that the new event coming around Game Update 2.3 is called Bounty Contract Week, not the Bounty Hunter event. We didn't mean to have the added confusion around implying an event was named after a class. Bruce gave a little bit of information on the event, here. Now, onto the screenshots! First was some incorrect armor screenshots. There were two new armor sets shown. One of them is not actually present in the game in that color variation which you can see here. The other, is in the game in 2.3, but it is a part of the new daily hub reputation not the Bounty Contract Week rep. You can see that armor here. As a note, this armor has changed slightly. The colors are a bit more vibrant and it has some new "attachments," I am going to work on getting an updated screenshot. What you will want to see are the new armor sets that are rewards for the Bounty Contract Week Rep! Here they are, reward 1, reward 2. We sincerely apologize for any confusion. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine-Elf Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm digging reward #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_Mu Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Cool though I'd love to see more rewards than just those armor models. Armor 1 Armor 2 Armor 3 Armor 4 Armor 5 Would all look great as adaptive gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying-Brian Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Eric. Can you also comment if the reward weapon is going to be a main hand only weapon? If it is, it's a waste. As mercs and gunslingers want matching guns that can be duel wielded. It needs to be a main hand/off hand weapon. Those armor sets do look much better than those that were previewed on the flash drive (but still would have rather seen a T-visor Mandalorian helmet, not the bug eyed one ,on #1). Thanks.

Armor 1 Armor 2 Armor 3 Armor 4 Armor 5 Would all look great as adaptive gear. All of those sets are already in the game. They should never be re-used as a reward armor set.

Solar_Breeze Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I implore you to please add legacy 'knife' 'scattergun' 'shield' 'generator' and 'focus' with this event. Its quite a pain currently that only Mara/Sentinel can use both weapons legacy (discounting Mercs and Slingers due to the opposite factions class having a different weapon system.) + That gear looks great, nice to see some of the old set styles (columi etc..) coming back in along with some hopefully new ones.

Alec_Fortescue Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) First one looks great. Btw, what's up with the traditional Jedi robes? D: It's kinda lame that recolors are being added as new daily hub rewards, though. Helmet might be new but the rest... Awfuly familiar.

Lord_of_Mu Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 All of those sets are already in the game. They should never be re-used as a reward armor set. But are all of those sets presently available? From little I've been able to find most of the armor models I linked were from previous tiers of raiding / pvp gear. None of which is presently available or adaptive. I'm fine with the armor models not being rewards for the event, so long as they are available.

Kellorion Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Please, please make sure to add Vogga the Hutt to the event if Hutts are involved. I always liked him, and Hutts can live several hundred years, and he wasnt killed by GOTO or anyone else in the events of KoTORII so he could still be alive and dealing out there.

Selethar Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Can you PLEASE stop with the re-skins? Most of that is current armor with bits either removed (set 1 helm) or added (set 1 boots). The new dragon armor is re-skins with flashy bits. When will we see something new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Removed Brown Daily Set and Blue Daily Zone BoL Set seem very similar to the GSI Daily armour. Still, I honestly don't care because - SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!! - I finally can have a BoL Nerfboy* Hat! Ever since the Gree event was announced to have Legacy gear (back before 1.7, so tail end of 1.6) I wished we'd get a Nerfboy hat bound to legacy. And now we do!:D:D *Nerfboys are like Cowboys but x1000 more cool:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousFett Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Cool though I'd love to see more rewards than just those armor models. Armor 1 Armor 2 Armor 3 Armor 4 Armor 5 Would all look great as adaptive gear. That'd be great if newer players got a chance to obtain some of the older armor sets as side objectives.

Are those sets adaptive? Also bind on legacy? Moddable? I've been waiting for an adaptive cowboy hat for my bounty Hunter forever, and hopefully this will be it.

Especially since I always thought my BH would look great with one of those I also like the whole armor set for that one, since it is leathery instead of full armor. Finally something I can wear instead of running around in just pants (seriously I am just wearing pants, since I have yet to find something that counts as heavy armor for my BH that isn't heavy armor looking.
