Nice! Most of these sets look awesome. The only over the top piece is the Inq helmet.

I take back a little bit of what I said before. I like the Agent Underworld stuff, the chest piece of the bounter hunter, and the one helm for the bounty as well (but not the evil dead looking one, that's just terrible). If I were a bounty hunter I'd get the one bounty hunter helm and place it with the green pieces instead. I love the Underworld Agent Helmet the most, and I'm pretty happy I'll be able to get it.

Never said it doesn't.

And if you have trouble getting a mil then, too bad.

Doubt it's gonna cost that much though.

After the uproar over the last round of gear design Bioware promised they were listening and would make future gear more in keeping with the Star Wars theme. It seems they are only partially listening. The new designs are a step in the right direction, but only a small step. Some of the sets are rather nice, but some are ridiculous. Most are merely bearable.

At the good end of the spectrum, Agent and Smuggler sets look great. Bioware consistently seem to produce good Medium Armour models.

At the other end of the spectrum, Inquisitor and Sage look ridiculous, especially the moth person Inq. Bioware artists seem totally incapable of producing good Light Armour models.

The Heavy Armour sets are a mixed bag. Bounty Hunter and Trooper sets are ok but would look a lot better without the exaggerated shoulders. Warrior and Knight sets just don't suit the classes they are designed for.

Sadly I think a lot of players will just pull the mods from this gear, which is a shame for the artists involved. But it's not like the players haven't made it abundantly clear via the forums and via their purchases of more traditional cartel gear, that they prefer simpler Star Wars styled sets to this high fantasy inspired stuff.

The sith inquisitor one looks like a praying mantis.

WHAT is going on here? How can people possibly like this armour? Who in ther right mind at bioware said "YES, let's put this in the game" because whoever it is needs to get their **** together.

The helmets look a bit strange, but they actually look pretty good without the helmets, as far as I am concerned.

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.

but everything else is awesome, btw one of the helmets fo the bounty hunter looks just like the one Obi-wan has in TCW which is great too i hope they bring even more armor like that.

So I wasn't the only one singing "Oh Tannenbaum" when I first saw the Tionese consular set?

Not keen on the Inq helmet but apart from that the new sets looks pretty good.

Definitely not as dramaticly bad as the OP suggests...

Still not perfect IMO but a step in the right direction...
