Now that they have acknowledged the players dislike of the art direction, I would expect improvements over the next few months...what we are seeing now was likely already in place before BW came out and said "We get it, you dont like the armor"....

Good point, I know nothing of game design, and thought that the new gear was made after the backlash of the Campaign gear. I am more than willing to wait until the next set of gear as long as it will be more like some of the Cartel gear they are putting out (Revan/Phantom/Valiant/Interstellar/Investigator)

For a second, I hesitated between Ninja and Samurai when lookin the blue/black PvP gear.

I wonder what will be the new titles that chapter 4 will bring... Maybe "Shinobi".

I think they make it so ugly that we need to buy a better set to change mods to. Cartel market anyone???

Meh...I think that aside from a few helmets, the bulk of them look ok.
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Going to be in the minority here and say I really like the Arkanian/Partisan Inquisitor sets. AND the mummy helmet. And both Agent sets. But a lot of the rest of it (warrior gear, other set of Inquisitor gear) just seems very... OOC.

I think they look a lot better that pervious "new" sets that being said there are some bad ones, still no love for Smugglers I see.

Yup that is another thing I don't like about the game. I just put up with it but the armor is what makes your character and the armor models in the game really are not good or ala Star Wars. I think the models in the Cartel market are much better and that is what I have on every one of my 9 characters. Of course, then again *shrugs* that may just be what they are looking for. I have to say, I was looking forward to doing some PvP with my sage and earning the battlemaster gear which I thought was gorgeous. They aren't taking that out of the game or are they? If they are, I'm going to be sorely disappointed. I may even have to unsubscribe *kidding - really now, I'm kidding*

What I can't understand is why the development team so against Star Wars style armour.

Everytime new armour comes in they seem determined to make it more outlandish and odd looking. Where people have been asking for Robes and the armour seen in the trailers and even armour seen in other Star Wars games or the movies. But instead we get something that looks like something found in a pyramid in Egypt.

Surely they can just give armour that looks like classic star wars gear.
