Items And Loot Archive

Well, it is that time again, where I feel the need to put up a list of things, that would improve my gameplay, and perhaps increase the options we have when it comes to dressing up, and let the art team show their skills.

I'll start up with the Imperial Cap.

This cap, needs to be avalable for any Imperial who can wear a Imperial uniform. Limiting it to human and zabrak males, are just a show of lack of skills and dedication from the art team devs, and we don't want that do we?

I'm no 3d modeler, but the artwork fixes seem pretty straightforward.

Every specie and gender, have several hairstyles, hornstyles, lekkustyles or simply headstyles. The hats, work in a way where it takes the slot/spot for one of these. Unfortunately, there only exists 1 model of it, and it uses a male human hairstyle, so it only fits the male human and zabrak, since the zabrak uses same "skull" model.

Pick one of each specie and genders hairstyle/hornsyle/lekkustyle/headstyle. Slice open the human male imperial cap 3d model, un-attach the cap from the hairstyle.

Attach the hat, to the earlier picked hairstyle/hornstyle/lekkustyle/headstyle, just like it was done on the human male hairstyle earlier, back in beta.

Voila, a hat for every specie and gender.

Don't even have to give us all at once, just start easy with the human female, and move forward from there, 1 cap every publish or minipublish don't sound too far fetched does it? Not if you area skilled modeler.

Okay, over to the "in need of upgrade" clothing:

For close to 2 years now, I have owned a Black sun Medallion and a Dark Jedi Medallion. They both, come as "equippable" and show up as decor when you drop them in your house. Problem is, when you equip them, they do not show. These are really pretty necklaces, and by them being "broken" in such way as they are now, no one gets to enjoy the work that has been put into the art of these medallions. Fix them so we can admire the work of the Art team please.

With that being said, I just have to shift over to clothing and wear, I wish really hard for us to see in the game. Art, that would truly show that you art team guys are good at your work.

-Cloth eyepatch. (wearable even with helmet/hat on, with "you pick side" on em)

-Bionic eyepatch. (as said above. Seen in Ep 1-2)

-Beret. (not seen in the game, but featured in EU books as part of Imperial uniforms in some cases)

-Nabooian Officer Cap. (Once you figure out the Imp cap, time to add more "small" hats, no?)

-Colorpicker on factional uniforms. (So we can imitate ISB, Stormtrooper, Army, survey corps, Compforce etc, or let us tailor the cap, and expans the palette)

-Riding pants. (Imperial officers wear em in the movies, nuff said)

-Pearl Necklace. (Well, so I made my ingame maid unhappy, and she might not marry me if I don't get her pearls....I need pearls!)

-Dogtags. ( )

-Shades. (eyewear. Seen some of it in the Japanese SE..time to let us get em on the streets too, so we can enjoy your work)

-More shades. (We all don't want to wear helmets or Fez'es ya know)

-scarves (It can get cold)

-Rebel hats. (I know, I know, heads are the most complex place to make things for, unless you make a full helmet..but still!)

Well, thats it for now. Hope I didn't insult the art team, but I know you can do it.

Good ideas. With the new, refreshing outlook on getting things done from the Development department, it would be nice to see the art folks working on these things.

Hey yeah you have a good thread going on here. It turns out that I am a 3d modeler, I went to college

for Computer Animation, and graduated. I can safely say with a large degree of certainty that the people

working on this game are not putting forth the effort that most people would like to see. This may be due

to the fact that they cannot hire more people, and 3d modellers tend to be expensive employees, if they

have the proper skills.

At this point in time, very few new models have been added into the game. There is a large chance that

these models arent even new, they might be pre-existing, as in...unused material. A large amount of the

new content that we have seen has been in the form of pictures/paintings. They are nice, but simply a

polygon with a texture slapped onto it. Perhaps the texture itself took time to make, but the time spent

with the model was probably 2 seconds.

As has been demonstrated by the Friday features, they are adding all new sorts of weaponry and armor

into the game, and this is good as a start. However, there should have been a contant stream of these

new items since launch. In game I play a Zabrak, but I empathize with the other species in that they have

had little attention paid to them.

I think that it is imperative that the team focuses in sparking more diversity between the species. After all,

I think it was one of the defining concepts of Star Wars, making things look much different and alien to

each other. In the early concept sketches and models, it can been seen that this was the intent they had

at some point, and that a lot of things didnt make it into the game. Species specific clothing, holsters for

weapons, these were some of the things shown. They should definitely start polishing up this game if

they want to compete with what the other MMO's are doing, not to make more money, but to become the

better MMO, one that people will be happy with.
