Thread: OUTRAGE: HOODED CLOAK ON PLAYER!!

What I don't understand is why there would be any outrage at allAt the worst (or at least most disappointing, and most likely), it is an NPC wearing a hooded cloak, which we've all seen screenies of before. At the best, they are working on getting the cloaks onto players and the screenshot is one taken onan internal dev server. NPC clothes are not a simple matter of slapping them onto a schematic. As Van said they must be made wearable by each species and gender which is very time consuming. Same reason the art team isn't whipping out new hairstyles. That said, hopefully we will get new schematics in the not too far distant future, I want that as much as any other Tailor.
PS. Are these the ones that were tried out on players in beta but looked stiff and awful when players moved aboutand were pulled?
The outrage would be if these are wearable, but non-craftable. Which is why I'm holding off 'till I know more. If they're NPC-wear, no biggy—we've seen that before. If they're PC wear and not tailor-craftable, well, that's a whole 'nother story.
As discussed, devs and QA can do funky things—we know they're official, but we don't know whether they're of PCs or NPCs. 'Till we do, no point flying off the handle.

Yes, it's a person wearing those robes. They were demonstrating some of the new effects when using force powers for the jedi revamp.

26. Hooded Cloaks. Yes its not going to kill anyone if we can't have a hooded cloak, but they are intrinsic to the look and feel of Jedi, and we've been teased with pictures of Jedi in them since pre-release. Can you just give tailors the ability to craft these darn things? 1 per species model if needed... There's no reason only a Jedi should be able to wear a simple cloak with a hood, and more people running around in them will help us hide ourselves.
The desire for hooded cloaks will never go away.
Hooded cloaks (as with all wearables in the game) are far more work intensive and very time consuming to produce than they appear to be. Huge actually. It’s not 1 cloak or 2 cloaks, but somewhere around 120 cloaks would have to be produced internally for all Jedi robes to have hoods in the game. Here’s how it breaks down: There are currently 31 unique Jedi Robe Models. For each of those to be hooded, there needs to be a special version for Wookiees, Twilek and Mon Cal’s because of their heads and a version for the rest of the species, except for Trandos which get a special version because of their feet. The time and manpower to create 120 cloaks isn't available at this time. We want and will do this in the future, but it is just not possible right now.

Thanks, NJ! Go get 'em!
