artwork is not the issue, it the work of the droid itself, and the making of the droid, and what use is the droid, not the looks

Something dosn't look right with these images, Not the Probot, but the back ground. Kinda like he had the FOV up a little.

So I got on and Changed my FOV a little and got.....

Drashk?? Any word as to WHY they did this? Is it to punish the DEs for disagreeing with their vision? To quitely get the message across they can and will make our lives worse then they are? Seriously, Why?

Artist - "Sure."

Artist - "Hey! This vaguely resembles a probot! I'll just change it and no one will know.... Not like there are any DEs left in the game anyhow. Ha!"

What I am wondering is why didn't the art team spend the time making a new chasis for combat droids, and not re-working the existing one?

They likely already have, as I said above.

The art team is the least "pressured" of the Dev team - from what we hear they are usually ahead of schedule. That's why they come out and ask us what new emotes we want to see when other things are so broken - the art team and the programming team are totally seperate.

This is why we had vehicle and mount art in game (in static spawns) before we saw them working - the pictures are the easy part, it's the stuff under the hood, so to speak, that is more difficult. We already have droidekas in game - go check them out live on Lok, or look at the static one outside of the Theed starport (that has mocked us since beta, LOL).

So rest assured the art team has tons of done designs for the future droids - I would imagine that is one of the reasons this is being pushed so heavily.

The more I look at the screenshots, the more I feel like it is supposed to look like it's from the Clone Wars cartoon - and actually has me fearing that they are going to try to change the "look" of the game into more of that stylized cartoon. Or it could just be the ugly bottom of the line droid. Like I said above, I'm reserving judgement until I see it actually live in game.

I don't like it. It won't be a cool as before. No one will want a toon-bot.

I only have one question......

WHY???

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."
