First of all I never complain about this game. There are things I do not like, but I am reasonable person, and understand that no game is perfect, and the good far out ways the bad in SWTOR. With that said, I will complain to anyone that will listen about this god awful endgame gear. Why should I have to pay to take out mods and put them in low lvl or cartel gear? That is not how a MMO should work. Endgame raid gear should be something that you WANT to wear.

If I read the forums and realized that the community was split on this topic, hell, even it were 40/60, I would not say a word. The problem is that vast majority hates the gear, Bioware has acknowledged we hate the gear, and yet the same massive shoulder pads and over the top helms are what we get.

The worst part about it all is that Bioware recently changed some of the cartel gear because the fans complained! How is it logical to take feedback on the cartel gear, change the cartel gear, and then completely ignore the feedback when it is time for new raid gear?

The last time Bioware was able to make nice armor/clothes sets was under Blackisle era.

Thank goodness for modded gear. What a train wreck! I especially like the troopers radar dish.

I don't think my consular is gonna give up her muse (if looted or bought from NPC) / traditional demicot (if player made) outfit, but with the new PVE gear it's worth thinking about it. It certainly looks interesting (again, minus the helmets), and it's leagues above the original Rakata / Columi / Tionese gear, with its applications that reminded of a ski jumping hill.
Think this is one of the outfits for JC that will look better on a male JC than a female one. Or at least to me, for my female toon I prefer the one with a bare shoulder. She will look pretty in it, when she has lvl:ed a bit that is. If I had a male JC I would probably prefer the new one.

Compare the JC outfit from this Dread Guard armor

And the new version

Female Mandalorians who romanced Torian are missing his Resol'nare and Mando'a lessons conversations since 4.0 launched. Please fix this!

I would imagine the designs for the new tier of gear were in place ages ago. Whilst BW could probably react and make changes to one or two sets of cartel gear, I would imagine that it was far too late to go back to the drawing board with the 2.0 sets following BWs acknowledgement of players not liking the art direction...

Now that they have acknowledged the players dislike of the art direction, I would expect improvements over the next few months...what we are seeing now was likely already in place before BW came out and said "We get it, you dont like the armor"....

i would rather have Mass Effect armor than this trooper set, can't see much difference between PVP and PVE armor except for color and the helmets looks like a child's drawing, so please put some designers on it and stop outsourcing it to kindergartens

Yes, designs for the "new" models were sat on for almost a year.

Actually, judging by the tone of your post, i think it is you who should grow up. Bashing people who has an opinion which is different from yours is anything but acting like an adult.

Drip feeding pre created gear and content is not exactly news in this undustry though is it?
