Weapons and Armor in The Old Republic

What are some of the weapons and armor you want to see in TOR? Everything from KOTOR?
I played one Star Wars game, can't remember which one exactly, and there was a gun with a scope. You could zoom in, and then you could increase the power of the shot by how long you held the trigger. Once you let it go, if you had the power up pretty far, your enemy would just burn to cinders from the inside out and there would be nothing left.
Also, you could not block a shot from this gun with a light saber. Anyone remember what that gun was called?
Also, mines were fun. With laser trips.
I think the Mandalorian armor was pretty good too.

Was that the disruptor canon from jedi academy you were referring to?
Anyway, as for weapons and armor I just hope they go with a gritty look for character appearance. Rags hanging off guns, natty looking robe/armor combinations etc.. If everyone looks crisp and clean like a clone trooper that just walked off the line I won't be happy.

Yeah I hear ya, I think it's an immersion thing. The more torn someone looks in their robe, the more you know they have been through. I hate how everything looks so polished and clean in war zones in most games. i'm all for gritty real looking armor.

Um, based on your posts, I have to wonder if you've looked at the screen shots / videos of the game so far... Everything is VERY crisp and clean in my opinion. I can't think of ANY MMO that has a 'gritty' look, (off the top of my head WAR comes closest w/ the Greenskins.)
Granted, it's just MY opinion, but I don't think it's reasonable to expect / hope for a 'gritty' character appearance based on the media so far, but hey; who knows? They COULD overhaul the graphics before release right?...

SWG had some gritty looking outfits. Anyway I was in no way referring to graphics, rather the artistic flare added to equipment. I would hope the more crisp appearances are left to the troopers and jedi. Smugglers and bh should be given a far more rough look.

That armor looks alot like the one at the end of "The Mandalorian Blockade is Broken" timeline video. Right at the end it hints at someone else helping and shows a person in armor similar to this.
"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
That is Mandalorian neo-crusader armor, the character shown is the quartermaster at the dxun base in KOTOR 2...Kex or Bralor I think...
Ah cool, thanks for the info. I never played KOTOR2, now I wish I had. Inoticed an interesting line in the wiki you linked:
"A set of armor was recovered by the Galactic Republic in the Battle of Myrkr to examine by the Ministry of Defense. "
I wonder if we will see this become a new "Commando/Spec op" class for the Republic.
"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
The game was called Jedi Knight and also jedi knight Academy i still play that.
I understand what you mean Malickie, somewhat, but even the 'grittier' outfits in SWG were still pretty 'clean'. When I see / hear 'gritty' with regard to visual style, I picture Original Trilogy Boba Fett with his dinged, dented, scraped, scorched Mandalorian armor, not the prequel trilogy Jango Fett with his gleaming, crisp, shining, Mandalorian. The latter is all that we've seen from the concept art, and in-game models for the game so far, so it doesn't seem likely to me that the 'gritty' I envision will be realized.
I didn't like the look of this glued to the body diver suit type armor
The helmet/neck part makes it look silly like it's rubber. How is that going to protect you from anything?
Of course we are talking about the same IP where Stormtroopers were one-shot killed in the movies as a standard and Princess Leia gets hit in the arm (ROTJ) and is fine.

I guess you got me there. But atleast the ST armor looks better than this diver suit
Oh mandalorian using ls? I dont remember that. Seems like it's time to play KotOR through once more :P

LOL, it wasn't a dig on you. I just think its comical that you see these armor clad infantry running around getting WTFPWN'd by one laser bolt from some guy in a blue t-shirt and a bicycling helmet.

I'm just curious if the Jedi class will be accessible to armor. From the Deceived video it appeared as though some of the order jedi were wearing some pretty nice armor. I remember KoTOR didn't really like nor give benefits to jedi with armor by restricting force powers... but this is something that I don't think we'll fully know until more information on the character classes are revealed.
Life is about take chances and venturing out of your box, making mistakes and learning from them, and doing what you love. Find what drives you, as all paths end the same, so why not make the most of it and live a life worth living without regret?
I couldn't help by laugh when I saw that picture.. lmaoooo What type of armor do they call that? "Canary Bird"? What damage does that beak do?
Mandalorian armor will Wtf!11 Pwn joo!

Take your condescending attitude to someone else. I'm not asking for a graphics overhaul, hey maybe there is armor sets not shown in these prerelease pics and videos (wow holy crap, weird concept I know right, stuff not being revealed in prerelease pics)? Lots of games have more "used" looking armor (any Betheseda game, I NEVER mentioned MMO's, I just said I prefer gritty looking armor in games). Seriously, how did you even get to the assumption I was asking for a graphics overhaul?
Seriously though, are you just a troll or what, cause you brought nothing to the conversation except attitude.
dunno if it's been said or not, but I think the words "PURPLE!" and "EPIC!" pretty much explain all the depth that there will be to gear in TOR.
Have fun farming your themepark lootz.

I did this morning when she went to work.....
...and if she EVER reads this, I'm SO dead...
I totally agree with you on this topic. If I wanted to play cartoons I'd play WoW. As far as the armor and weapons, I'd like to see the same stuff that was in KOTOR. They had a good selection with lightsabers and what not. I don't think they should get to crazy with the colors though because I will be pissed if we start seeing hot pink lightsabers and what not. Cyan, purple, orange, light green are all acceptable untraditional colors for me.
