You made a big mistake BW on the new Turncoat armor

And just how many companies everyday close down with people loosing their jobs
to stupid retardedprinciples like this

This is reality, make nice quality products and take care of your customer=people coming back for more=
company does well in long term. OR do like BioWare try to sell same outfit/speeder over and over in
gambling packs with new color and make horrible looking outfits=losing customers and paying subs

Traditional Jedi robes for players is what this game lacks and is something which would be in pretty high demand and something that was requested over and over not just by me! Srsly Bioware! Eric said they are in plans :'(

I completely agree with this. This has been bothering me since launch. Every set of semi Jedi looking armor has some weird armor added somewhere. It may have a nice Jedi cloak, but the chest piece is this huge metal plate. Or there's a cool cloak but there's weird shoulder pieces. OR there's another cloak that looks decent but has this weird pattern on it so it's not cloth looking but like the Gree put their box pattern all over it (thinking of one of the rare sorc pieces with this one).

I went from Republic to Empire and I can honestly say that on both sides the set of armor I want MOST is a set that looks EXACTLY like what Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were wearing in Episode 1 and for Sith I want what Darth Maul was wearing. Complete with baggier pants here people. There was no extra metal crap anywhere. It really made me feel like they were surrounded by the force and didn't need the same armor as the tech based people to protect themselves. They didn't need the extra body armor because they could deflect or dodge the blaster bolts.

Summary: I just want ROBES. Black ones and the traditional brown and cream ones. Simple is best in this case.

People in this thread need to learn more about the Pareto principle. This item is a very clear example of it.

To say it quickly.. about 20% of a shop's products make about 80% of the shop's income, while the 80% other items make only 20% of the shop's income. Why even have those 80% other items you might say? Well because if you don't have a complete enough set of items to buy, people won't come to your shop to get those 20% items, but chose to go to a shop that does sell those few items they do have that you do not.

It is a simple marketing principle about making sure your stock of items is broad enough to make sure people spend money in your shop, and not others.

Having items like this, or Huttsbane, are all about that same principle. You release these items for a very small subset of your customer base, in this case probably Roleplayers looking for a 'civilian' outfit, to make sure your stock is complete enough. Once people feel they can get everything they want from you, they will stay more loyal to your shop.

So.. from just the Pareto principle, you can say that for every Valiant Jedi set, or for every other good looking set everyone will love, you need to have 4 less universally enjoyed sets to ensure your stock is broad enough to appeal to your entire market.

Understand this principle, and you understand why Bioware 'wastes' slots of 'armor development' on these things. and yes, they are just skins already available in game made adaptive. A simple, quickly made item is perfect to be in the 80% group.. while the star sets, the unique ones, need to be in the 20% group. Cost vs Reward.. they never expected you all to buy this item.

You guys really need mayor help on outfits and design in this game, we told you 1000 times over and over.

And longer sleeves. These short sleeved robes look stupid. I want flowing sleeves. Thanks.

Why not just pull from this thread?

I thought that was the point of it

The name "Turncoat" made me hope a little to see something like Mal's get-up*, so seeing the actual set was really, really disappointing.
