High Level Gear Looks Awful

Abso-freakin-lutely.

I like a lot of the gear. Bounty Hunter's have some nice sets of gear, as do Troopers. I also actually like the starter Inquisitor armor (the Stalker helm is actually cool, IMO). The Agent starter gear is also ok.

I love the Masked Smuggler hat, but the rest of the smuggler armor is ugly. Jedi gear would be cool if not for those outrageous shoulders in the BH type gear. Consular..... Uh, why does ALL of the armor only look appropriate if you're a female? Thank god for adaptive gear....

Oh and warriors? The BH gear looks ok. The starter stuff is atrocious.

I hate my conehead and pointy shoulders and swamp thing outfits, but at least I don't look like a consular.

I like gear that makes you look like a christmas tree

Here's the MAGIC of TOR:
...

You can use any orange piece of gear at endgame!!!!!!!!!

I know, right? Mind=Blown. So if you want more 'jedi robes', then pick up the level 11 jedi robes you get after leaving Tython, and just keep upgrading those!

Wow.

wrt tionese-rakata,

I actually like the full Bounty Hunter gear best even with headslot (both styles). I don't mind the "wings" on the inquisitor gear either (the sorceror head gear is kinda neat in an evil puppet kind of way). I think the Jedi Knight minus helm, Trooper, and Smuggler gear is acceptable/nice too. I can see not liking any of it, but I do in the above cases.

I'm not a fan of Consulars (helm + arm pads + overall blandness), Imperial Agents (helm plus weird flaps and pattern), or Sith Warriors (turns you into a cyborg with feet claws like it or not).

I'm currently especially annoyed with the Sith Warrior armor on my marauder. Even if you hide head slot, a hood that I don't like appears. I'm working towards replacing the chest with BH-level gear ASAP to eliminate this problem.

Who cares about high end gear looking awefull this days anyway?! you dont realy have to use it.... i certainly dont. just use its mods.

That's not the point, silly.
The point is that the designers somehow borked up endgame designs. Wouldn't it be nice to get some well designed endgame gear that doesn't suck to look at?

Yeah we know but it costs 120 k to take out all the tionese mods and that per character is going to get quite pricey IMO. Everyone should just save up their credits i guess

Cheers,

120K its nothing when youy hit 50 realy!? do some dailys and you are it.
