Sooo...Traditional Jedi Robes?

Not when said people often cite the other classes as "getting their iconic looks" as an argument since that is plainly not true.

Point was not that the jedi outfits look more like their "iconic" movie versions than the other classes do.
Point was that people claim that the other classes have the "iconic" look already and the only class left out is the jedi (thus putting themselves in a victim role of "all the other classes get their iconic looks, why can't we?") which is simply not true.

You know what? You are right. Jedi aren't the only class that doesn't have iconic gear and I do believe in time we will see more 'iconic' outfits for other classes.

But.

The point of this thread was to get an update on a post Eric made last year about more 'traditional' Jedi robes coming to the cartel market, being sold in packs and direct purchase. I for one am still waiting for this to happen and it was a non-aggressive post to see if we could get Eric's word in.

At no point in my posts did I slam other classes about iconic outfits claiming "Jedi are the only class left". Iconic Jedi robes have been an ongoing issue for as long as I can remember with lots of support from other players on the forums wanting the same thing. So you coming in to this thread (although stating your opinion) and blasting us for wanting just that little more, is quite unfair.

That's their opinion. Just as it's yours that it's not the case. Subjective.

Aside from that, you're diluting their argument. Considering the plethora of skimpy outfits being released via the cm in every pack, the clipping issue is largely resolved (allowing long sleeves), and that this is Star Wars (where Jedi are arguably the most iconic symbol of the ip), it is pretty unbelievable that there isn't a truly traditional set of Jedi armor in this game.

I wish they would just release something so people would shut up about the minute detail differences already...

Although you didn't reply to my OP exactly. You implied it to everyone that wants iconic Jedi outfits.

It's the argument that has been presented over and over in the threads on the subject.
The fact that you feel that I was adressing you (despite the fact that I wasn't) doesn't make it so.

Well it looks it looks like we both have said what we have wanted to say. I didn't make this thread to start a fight with anyone, just looking for a friendly answer to a friendly question. I appreciate and respect what you have said, but I have no intention to keep squabbling over this subject.

Oh dear lord, no.
It's not a matter of opinion.
Not when you start to point out the differences. Then you are actually going into facts.
Things like "short sleeves instead of long sleeves" is not an opinion, it is a fact that the outfits in the movies have long sleeves and the ones in the game have short.
And going by those facts, the other classes have even less iconic looks in the game.

And the entire argument is about wheter or not there is such a thing as "truly traditional jedi outfits" at all.
You state that they are traditional because that's how they look in the movies, and that's how they look (well, some) in the KotOR game. Thus drawing the conclusion that they must have looked like that between these two moments in SW history too.
But when I point out that just 30 years prior to KotOR, jedi looked vastly different and that in SW:TOR artwork, there are only a very few pictures of jedi in what you would classify as "traditional" outfits, it is simply ignored.

I have stated plenty of times before that I am not against the look of the jedi from KotOR being implemented in the game.
I am, however, very much against it being toted as a must because that's how jedi are supposed to look.
To try to anchor your arguments for implementing it in some sort of twisted sense of "that's how it's supposed to be" and ignoring the evidence around you that suggests otherwise.
Bioware is in their full rights to dictate how jedi look in this century of SW history.
That you come out and blatantly tell them that they are wrong and you are right is ludicrous to say the least.
Jedi have looked vastly different throughout the history of star wars.
Just because you don't like the look in this game doesn't give you the right to say that it is "wrong".

That is what "grinds my gears".
Not the fact that people want the KotOR looks, I don't care about that one bit.

TL;DR If the argument for including the KotOR/movie jedi robes had been "because I like that style more and think it would look good in the game" I would have been right there behind you backing you up.
But from the start of these demands (Many threads ago) the argument has always been "The jedi outfits in the game are wrong, we want the right ones" and that argument just doesn't hold up.
