STOP the HALF-NAKED chestpiece.

I'd be pretty okay with them going away.

And the "they only encompass 12% of every pack!" argument would be sound if stuff that people had been demanding for a while now - new models, traditional Jedi robes, etc. - encompassed...I dunno, even 10% of every new pack. Which they absolutely do not.

Ah, that explains it then. ^^ Lucky me for picking that particular armor then, I didn't know he would be buggy with the rest of them.

I never had a problem with people dressing up their characters however they liked, but a couple of years ago I probably wouldn't have approved with dressing your companions to slave girl outfit simply because of the unfortunate implications of having a male with full armor and having his female companion that follows him everywhere he goes in a slave bikinis.
But nowadays, being older, wiser and able to dress up my male companions, I promise to help you to convince your Kira that slave girl outfit is the newest fashion on Coruscant if you help me convince my Tharan that casual vandal set would make him look like a serious scientist. So count me in to that group of female gamers. I'm okay with half-naked outfits as long as I can use them on both genders.

But yeah, these outfits surely are just for the "gay community". Just like the slave bikinis are just for lesbians.

I'm also one of those female gamers actually. I like my Andronikos in his unfettered trench coat.

As you stated - I don't mind guys dressing their characters up as long as I get to do the same.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my issues with the current spate of "revealing" armor is more of a problem with the art team "getting into a rut".

For example, the Cyborg sets. For, what...six packages?...we had a Cyborg set. Each set except the last one was just slightly different from the one before (the last one just stunk on ice). Now, we have a run on gear that shows a bit of skin.

The issue isn't the skin, it's the dev team running something into the ground until it "jumps the shark". Then they move on to the next idea brainstormed into the wee hours of the morning fueled by Red Bull and sushi...(okay, that's all supposition, but it's how I"D brainstorm...)

Let's see.
In these four starfighter packs we have (2 released, 2 to be released) there are a total of 46 outfits.
Out of those, 8 are completely new models (Lore Outfits).
That's more than 17%.
Hell, if you count the Cybernetic set as one new model (since, yes there are 4 versions of it, but it isn't a reskin of something in the game) that goes up to more than 19%.

So I guess you are ok with the packs?

The main problem here seems to be that people only see the stuff they wanna see.
They ***** and moan about there being "nothing new" when there are, in fact, plenty of new stuff.
It's just not the stuff they want.

But there is new stuff.

Right now it seems to be (when it comes to outfits, because that's what we are talking about) 15-20% "skimpy" gear. 15-20% New models and 60-70% retextured or remodeled items from the game.
And I'm fine with that.
In any gambling pack there has to be the filling. And having 20% new outfits is pretty ok in my book. Especially since the "retextured" stuff we are getting is adaptable so every class can wear it.

Ummm....female characters have revealing outfits, why can't male characters have any too? To not have them would be...sexist, wouldn't it?

Also, you seem to have forgotten that there are straight female players too.

I'm pretty sure me and 200 singles I dropped the other night have a whole different theory on what naughty is!

Lies! There are no wimminz on the interwebz!

I think thats the problem, anything not catering to -their- fantasies is "icky"

Straight female player that's not into them = bad/doesn't exist

Male char that doesn't look like he was raised in an amish commune = gay

But a G.I.R.L. running around in slave gear is A-OK

I for one enjoy the skimpy gear. Granted, I don't want my girls' ***** falling out of their outfits. Imagine leaping to a boss only to have one come flying out and stunning them. Almost reminds me of Everquest's 'booby taunt'. I kid. But seriously, I know us female players wanted something more than ONLY slave outfits that revealed a bit of skin, and some males wanted their males to show off their abs.

There's nothing wrong with it and they do incorporate the more 'traditional' outfits too that cover everything up.
