COuld be Drashkys video settings, though everything but the probots seems fine to me.

Thats what I orginally thought as well, but I'm not the only one that can see the changes. I think that I'll hold a showing a couple of days this week, for anyone that is interested in hopping on to TC and taking a look for themselves.

Making SWG more Star Warsy. One droid at a time.

Have there been any comments or communication from the Dev's on TC Forums about this change? Do you need me to over there and raise a sh*tstorm Drashk?

Yes...the Probot coloring has always been off. It's far to dim/dark on almost any color selection.

How is it that is more cartoonish than the original probot art which is not bad, BTW?

Its the same ol' probot. Why the new not-as-cool-looking skin?

Well at least it matches the probots inner beauty now...

I have to agree though, this is probably a remake for the crappy CL10 version, and grown up CL 35(or whatever)gets to use our old skin. I guess Dev's figure if its going to work like crap, it shouldnt look cool.

Besides, I know DE's have been clamouring to the dev's to change the skin, I cant understand everyone's change of heart now that they've done so.

Wow, that was a serious waste of a CG artist's time. I would much prefer having an improved pallet than a crappy new skin. How about copper color (reflective like Protocol)? or truely light colored Probots (can't count the times I've had requests for light grey or white Probots).

Someone get me Chewie and a bowcaster so we can send this once great droid out of its misery once and for all...

The legs look much nicer but the top looks ugly and nothing at all like the movies. Way too shiny and clean. Should have the rough, worn out look that the current ones have.

I must say.. Its not that bad.. its just not an imperial probe droid and shouldn;t be used like one... just make it a new style probe droid..

Doesn't look that bad for me anyway..hope the colours are better this time though

( hey.sorry.. I DO hate the DH plan )

No... no that isn't good at all.

Mr. Dev, put down the paint sprayer and step away from my droid.

Overall it seems like a step backwards to me.

The new skin looks somewhat smoother and better integrated, but I like the old one better. The old one just looks more like the Imperial Probe Droid from the movies.

It looks like a 3 year old drew it!!!

Drashk PLEASE don't tell me that they have spent all this freaking time redesigning an old droid that was already in the game and looked perfect!!!

If they implement this stupid, ugly, crappy, horrible art, I will quit. These guys don't deserve my $15 if this is the horse do doo it is paying for.
