I love this armor set to death, it's featured in the Hope trailer and worn by Jace Malcom (the trooper who wounds Malgus with the thermal detonator grenade).

But the huge backpack really destroys the look of this armor completely... and you can tell by the way the shoulder pad and bandoleer sit that that backpack isn't meant to be there.

During the Alderaan bonus series you come across Jace Malcom who is wearing the correct form of this armor, without the ugly, huge, bulky backpack.

With all that in mind, I'd really like to see the trooper community support this...

If juggs can look somewhat like Malgus, I'd want to look like Jace Malcom on my trooper.

SEE? No giant back-pack.

It's not the armor worn in the hope trailer.

It's the armor he wears when you meet him in the Alderaan bonus series.

When they put the trooper character creation screen armor into the cartel market, you'll be able to get the set without the backpack. Which should be soon, as it and the Bounty Hunter armors are next in line.

All the armors that share that same model should have the backpacks removed from them.

I'd love to have armor from the Hope trailer but I doubt it will ever happen... and I don't see them doing the character screen stuff any time soon. It'll be update 2.2 or 2.3 at the earliest. I'd just like the backpack removed from this particular set because it obviously doesn't belong there and it's a severe eye sore.

Agreed!

What Darius said. Them backpacks look really awful and serve no other purpose other than making you look really awful.

So does that count as support then?

Yes yes yes! Remove them!

Thank you for the support.

And nay-sayers---don't say this isn't possible. The Section-X "guardian" reputation outfit is nothing more than a recolored columi supercommando chest piece without the backpack.

So far the creation screen armor for all the other classes (except Jedi Knight, in which they released the valiant jedi set instead) has been released to the cartel market. We should see the trooper and bounty hunter armor released in the next few weeks at most (it will be before 2.0).

They already said in an official statement they are done with cartel packs until *after* 2.0 comes out.

i like the current models. a soldier without his/her backpack would be pathetic..

now, grab your backpacks and keep running you lazy maggots! left! left! left right left!

I was under the impression that refered to the actual packs, rather than the market where the creation screen armour is actually found.

I wish they'd get rid of the 'get caught on every doorway or shoulder-height object you walk by' shoulder pad as well.

There a ton of armors in this game that NPCs wear but the players can't ever get. I still want the torso armor and helmet from the Ord Mantell troopers.

I'm a Trooper, and I support this thread!

I would appreciate it being taken a step further though; by removing the backpacks from other, similar chest-pieces. Including, but not limited to: [TH-15 Medic Commando Body Armor], [RD-15A Hawk Chestguard], and other various color choices with the same model.

Here's a novel idea for you: At the same time as adding the "Hood -Up / Hood-Down" functionality, allow us to disable the backpacks on the various trooper chest-pieces that include them. I, for one, hate the look of these oversized radios/survival-kits/etc that are all over the best looking chest armor options.

Please, consider allowing those of us who despise them the option to simply hide them from view. It would go a long way in creating more variety for the Trooper class in general.

No, they look terrible. I mean, terrible.

Clipping issues with weapons, helmets, etc. All kinds of problems. No, just no.

Hide Backpack button requested

thats you're cue, bioware.

Even this would be nice.

Yes, packs. These don't come in packs, they're the full sets, like the Valiant Jedi.

While they are at it, they could also get rid of the back pack on the old Battle Master gear. (Yes, I can craft the shells)

Those packs look worse than anything else.

Who ever even got the idea of mounting that in the armors?... Sure the first few when things cant really look too good right away, but seriously!

And why the "rocket booster"?

Agree with this thread! I hate the backpacks on this particular model, in all the color variations. I don't mind the thing on the back of the Tionese/Columi/Rakata chest pieces though.

But since the character creation armor looks so close to the Colossus set, I really hope they do to the trooper what they did for Jedi Knights by giving them the set worn by the Zabrak in "Return"! So I really hope for Jace's set, since it's slightly different in color, the "texture" on the middle part of the chest and of course with no backpack. I'm not sure texture is the correct term, but the texture on the Jedi Valiant robe IMO looks different than other stuff in the game and if you look at Jace's armor in "Hope", that kinda style would be really close to his.

It probably won't happen, but damnit if I can't wish for it

Back in my day we troopers called it the Happy Meal Box

I'd kill to replace that with the one that Rakata has (though I never wear the giant pack armors...but man I wish I didn't in the past).

What's even more sad, you can tell the pack doesn't belong there... it clips through the graphics of the bandoleer that's worn on the set that connects to the shoulder pad.
