All Jedi Looking the same.

[jwyork]

I know I had a discussion with ED about how jedi would always have to wear a robe which I completely understand a Jedi is a Jedi but I have two suggestions that might prevent everyone from looking exactly a like.

The big one is .. could we treat a hat like a helmet and "hide" it as a Jedi with a hat looks kind of silly to me. Everyone picks the sunguard as the other hats are a little much.

The other suggestion is ... how hard would it be to add a color palette to the robes or a color block similiar to the swoop paint kits that could be used to customize the robe colors. I'm sure it is more difficult than I can imagine but I am just throwing it out there.

I didn't mind jedi toughness being on the character to allow for wearing different clothing but I understand the Jedi looking like a Jedi discussion and wanting to keep them in robes. Most of the Jedi I see who are full template have the same sunguard, belt and gloves

You know I am going to start picking on your if you start every thread with "I know I had a discussion with ED" or " I had suggested this before to Ed in a conversation on teamspeak and he liked the idea." right?

This is one classy Ithorian

[Falcore]

I was thinking the same thing the other day, possibly just have two sets of coloured robes to differentiate between sixth and Jedi?

I'm not sure I would think you are the same cynar if you didn't have something to say about my posts. But regardless of how you feel about me some of them are pretty good ideas. Also i didn't say he liked the idea .. in fact he is the one that said Jedi would always have to wear a robe

What about the jedi in 'hiding' in canon as those in Rebels?

Colouring robes and/or letting some clothing over the top of them may help 'customise' jedi

True the robes are iconic, but SOE SWG wanted the robes as an iconic image. Remember the phrase SOE bandied about - 'Starwasy and iconic'. The reasoning of those in hiding wearing them is a tad off.

Even an appearance tab (it had it's benefits!) would be good, and BH would know a jedi was a jedi if hunting them, as would anyone who saw a lightsabre equipped, or ignited or lightning coming from thier hands.

It would, as I see it, be more in line with the time period of a jedi hiding thier robes, rather than flaunting them a la episodes I to III.

Valid points but there is good argument for keeping the robes from a programming standpoint I think. This is why I suggested a colorblock or something .. or maybe an NPC at the enclave could offer (different robes/looks) in exchange for your padawan robe with the same stat additions. all ideas ... none of which i expect to see but its worth suggesting in case it is something that could easily be done.

[StepoKedur]

In the same way that shirts can go under jackets, could robes be treated as 'longjohns' to an extent, allowing clothing to be worn on top, their presence when equipped negating any CA or bio enhancements on said clothing?

I have no problem with robe colors being tweaked, but at the same time I think we would need to have some clear limitations. I don't need to see Butters running around in a banana costume, or hot pink Sith Lords if you know what I mean.

And as far as commenting on your post's Jw, I don't single people out usually. The ones that talk the most just happen to catch my eye

[Pwntera]

So there are a few items ingame that you can change the colors on at will like Composite Armor and the Vet reward Goggles. I'm thinking it would be pretty interesting if Jedi robes also had this feature but be limited to the colors of the Jedi Knight robes.

Light Jedi Robe


Dark Jedi Robe


Padawan Robe


Even just these 3 color options would really change the game for most people (and I'm sure the RPers would love it)

Aww, hot pink Sith Lords sounds *amazing.*

Limiting the color palette is fine, or again even being able to go to a Jedi Enclave and having an NPC offer to change out your robe for a set robe style the developers decide on would give a lot of customization without taking away from the jedi look.

Please though do a /showhat command like the helmets ... a jedi with a hat just looks misplaced

[jao]

I love this idea! I would go for the composite color black as it is more limited and doesn't have what some may think were silly colors for jedi - aka pink.

Though, as a tailor, I do think the appearance tab would be amazing.

I don't generally say much these days ... a little bit more in the last couple of weeks than the norm, but most of what I say doesn't single anyone out and any suggestions are just that suggestions, some of them are good and i'm sure some are not possible. I know you missed me though, since I took a new job I'm extremely busy thus the reason I wasn't playing much at all and am now starting to play in the evenings. I still believe this is the best server out there .. but incorporating things if it isn't a big time issue or game breaking makes it that much more unique so I will continue to "suggest".

Before you say things will absolutely not happen at least consider all ideas aren't bad ideas and might actually be an easy addition....... I knew i caught your eye, but quit staring at my ass lol

At least 14 posts today...just sayin'

Back on topic though yes, I would like to see some color options on robes.

[crestonanto]

My 2 cents.

1. I miss my traditional jedi look i had on live but entirely understand why the robes need to be worn on the technical aspect.
(Majority of my template grind was done without the robe cause i just didn't know).
EMU might state they had hidden resists back on live but i never had 80 saber toughness.

2. New Robes come with FRS.
I don't mind waiting for that.

3. Schematics
I'd prefer to see any new Robes, Backpacks, Armors factional or Non factional, Weapons, and Items from the CU/NGE appear as a 3 use-schematic rather than a looted item that can be farmed from a couple rare mobs.

14 posts in the same thread ... that wasn't bad mouthing anyone ... picking on anyone or stroking anyone's ego ... and i'm bored at work so deal with it

FYI, other robes are in the game. Folks have to be of rank to get them. Options to make them chartreuse will not happen...

As for discussions with me... I'm sure I spoke in a general sense and had amazing things to say...

Every conversation with you is Amazing Ed. Like right now i just made my 1000th post, see pretty amazing.

Back on topic, yeah I don't want to see purple, blue or green robes. There are certain things that certain shades should never touch. Black and red dark jedi robes might look pretty sweet though.
