Thread: Is anyone else a little disappointed that tailors won't play a part in making Jedi robes?
Long awaited are the Jedi robes! Gone will be the days of Jedi running about in armor. The Jedi robe will provide a hidden toughness value that will protect the Jedi similar to armor but provide more of a Jedi feel. These robes will be issued to you as you advance through the quests and throughout the Force Ranking system and each have their own look based on rank. Should you lose rank your robe will be stripped from you and the appropriate level reissued.
Hmm. I don't know. I can see the point of making the Robe Jedi only and not a craftable item. If it were Tailor made, anyone could buy it, wear it, and then there would be no honor imbued in wearing the Robe. It become merely the latest fashion fad. I think it's appropriate that the Robe is exclusive to Jedi.
We are territorial about our ability to make clothes. To color clothes. To make BE clothes. We even hold astrange kind ofpride in having to hand craft everything. We decry any incursion into our profession that would further demean or devalue it.
The Jedi Robe is a symbolic mark of achievement. Of honor. Wisdom. It should be given only to those who have earned it.
I agree with the Devs on this one. Making the Robe a very limited reward, one that can be revoked... is a grand idea.

To be fair, they could have at least required some special tailor components be needed to craft this. I think its just more of the "ignore tailors" mentality. Nope, they could have included us and maintained RP if they wanted. Not a good enough excuse for me.
I'm by no means a programmer I bet something like this could be done:
Have something along the lines of a one time use schematic and loot item that only Jedi can get while going through a quest? Kinda like the AV-21, maybe tatoo it some how so only the Jedi that found the schemaic and the loot item can wear it once it's crafted and have a requirement that only a 'force sensitive' tailor can craft it and can only be traded to the Jedi that traded it to you?
Dunno just a thought.

I'm also having mixed feeling about the idea of the "force sensitive tailor". On one hand, I am excited about the idea of being able to become one! On the other hand, it basically rewards the people who have been hologrinding and decide to make their character a crafter. Those of us who have been tailors from the beginning and have not budged from that are kind of left behind.

I love the idea too! But they've repeatedly said that we won't have to change our skills around in the new system. They also mentioned the existence of a "Crafting Sensitivity" skill box, so I'm hopeful that we'll be able to choose from a whole suite of force sensitive skills that complement us as crafters and not as combatants. Also, the only thing that the hologrinders will benefit from in the new systemis faster advancement. And let's face it, most of us here are career tailors.And if there's one thing we all have in excess, that's patience.
