Wow...
Honestly, the chest/legs/gloves for most of these are fine, some are even really good. But those helmets... just... wow.
It's no big deal since you can swap out the mods and transfer the set bonus, but I'm honestly baffled at who decided these helmet looks were the way to go.

The BH Elite helm and the Trooper Ultimate helm do look really good though, and the Trooper Elite would be good if they take that random satellite dish off of it.

But what in the world is up with the Ultimate BH helm???

Just letting you guys know that Republic models are available now. Had to level a republic character fresh on the PTS as my character transfer wouldn't work.

Working on the stats now: http://dulfy.net/2013/02/21/swtor-ar...sitorconsular/

I also don't remember Rebel soldiers running up to stormtroopers and attacking them with swords and staffs while lasers fly all around them.

Sigh ...

Other than a couple of decent pieces the bulk of this continues to look like BW/EA went and hired the Power Rangers bad guy development team. Glad bonuses can be stripped now.

I just saw the consular gear's look...

First, Phase Walk, now, this gear... Yep, we're definitely not Jedi anymore. We're ninjas.

Second warrior looks all right, first one is atrocious. Both Inquisitor gears are horrid, the agent gear is iffy, I absolutely love the first BH gear (looks like the concept of Boba Fett's helmet, and also the helmet worn by Rako Hardeen, the bounty hunter Obi-Wan disguised as, in The Clone Wars). I get the feeling the second BH gear is supposed to look like Dengar, but it just makes me shudder because it looks like Hazmat gear.

The Consular gear looks like a weird mummy/ninja hybrid. I like the second JK, the first one is iffy (but why do they have hoods up?!?), because the second one basically looks like the creation screen armor with the outer robe removed and a tunic put over it. The smugglers are typical smuggler gear -- good; I'd give 'em a 7.5/10. As for the trooper, both look all right, but I especially like the second one's helmet. The first one's helmet looks like a big-obvious "hey! I'm a doctor, remember?" *wink-wink, nudge-nudge*

Overall, they are hit-and-miss, but I would agree that they definitely need to hire new art designers that have actually watched a Star Wars movie, and haven't played WoW. Seriously.

But you have to give them credit on these though, the crazy shoulder pads are gone. I wonder how hard it was for them not to add a shoulder pad that wasn't as long as a runway.

Eye Guy feels insulted by your insinuations.

**** Both Jedi Knight armor sets are hooded. Why? Why no alternatives? Why the constant hoods? It's been over a year and we've yet to see our heads!
