High Level Gear Looks Awful

This is by far my biggest complaint with the game. I don't know who designs this stuff, but Bioware needs to make this person watch a few Star Wars movies.Not only does the gear not fit the IP, but it is some of the most butt ugly and ridiculous gear I have ever seen in a game. Is it any wonder that very few people want to be seen in it? Most everyone I knows rips the stats out to put into their favorite orange gear. When the majority of the end game population chooses not to wear the end game gear, that should tell you guys something.

The weird thing about it is, a lot of the sets might be OK if they just removed the bizarre accessories. For example, the Tionese gear for Sorcerors has those massive shoulder wings, and the Bounty Hunter sets have those huge cylindrical things sticking out of the back.

Which one? The set that makes you look like a reindeer, bottom feeding sea creature, or character from The Jetsons cartoon?

LOL Very clever

Spot on, spot on.

Yeah , finishing my chapter 3 class story last night and looking like that. I actually felt self conscious , to the point I didn't want to put the armor on on the fleet and had to hide head slot real quick. Then if I saw anyone near me i would run off or speeder off. Still free armor is free armor and level 51 purple mods aren't too bad. Plus the fact removing all the mods is about 120 k and that's a lot of dough for 16 characters.

I was disappointed with the look of the end game gear before it was fully moddable. Now that it is, idc. In fact if anything I like that it's ugly so that there aren't a million people wearing it and looking the same. Forces people to go get their own style and look unique.

That's my 2 cents.

I agree, I always hide my stalker head slot because the Tionese/Columi/Rakata headgear is ridiculously over-the-top bad. I also hate the wings on the inquisor class.

The warrior garb isn't much better. Why does a kick butt warrior need to look like a re-engineered cyborg with that goofy gear?

The chest on my Juggernaut is simply ridiculous.

I look like Starscream, post transformation, with those idiotic shoulders, and the wires connecting to my triceps. And if there's anything more highly stylized and ugly than the consular gear, I haven't seen it. The headpiece designs alone should have been summarily dropped at the drawing board. Don't even get me started on the off the shoulder Campaign look on a male body type.

The NPC's, meanwhile, got treated with some respect. Along with the troopers, for the most part. Almost no one else did.
