That's what BioWare came up with?

What happened to the awesome looking Armors like we had in SWG? Comp was one of the best looking Armor Sets I've seen in any game. Mando Armor looked awesome to run around in. I guess BioWare wants more players running around in clown suits.

Nice finally some good looking agent and bounty hunter armors. Of course everyone has different tastes, but all in all the new armors all look pretty good and have a much better Star Wars feeling than most of the previous armors. There are still some improvements (some helmets e.g.) that can be made, but BW is heading in the right direction.

ok maybe I was a little harsh. The -helmets- pretty much all look terrible, the armour itself isn't too bad.

Shame about the stupid shoulders on the BH stuff and the Knight/Warrior gear just looks out of character for what they're supposed to be. The white set looks ok.

This is exactly what BW/EA wants the players to do. They want you to spend time, money & credits obtaining these new sets. Then have the credit sink of pulling the mods out , then spending more cash on the more traditional sets they offer through the cartel shop. Making ugly tier gear is a win win for them.

Was thinking about these sets, and I have to say 'Thank you, BW!' Not for the sets, but for making it possible for us to customize what our characters are wearing. I'm not stuck wearing that stupid bounty hunter mummy helmet. I can hide head slot. I'm not stuck wearing that jedi knight gear. And that's awesome. Making all the bonuses tied to armorings is wonderful.

Some people are going to love these sets. The more I look at them and imagine the models headless, the better some of them look. Others are going to hate them with a fiery passion. But none of us are stuck with them, which is to be commended.
aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

Really, I don't remember in any of the movies, pointy shoulders on any of the sith or shoulder armor on any of the troopers or BHs that struck straight out. I'm in agreement with most everyone else, this stuff, except a few pieces looks hideous.

It actually looks WAY better in game so go on PTS and check it out.

Not saying it's the best but not as bad as the pics at all.

I am totally unhappy with the Sith Warrior looks (Ultimate gear, obviously based on a late medieval knight look which resembles too much of a Bounty Hunter class) I really fell in love with this beast.

I wish they slimmer set will have a hood toggle feature in the short future.

The SI armor looks like the flying nun met some kind of Accupuncturist and went out together...

I hate to see that armor in a crowd with people...

I had a good laugh at the outfits...

It is hilarious!

Other than The Great Gazoo designing most of the helmets, I can live with it.
