The Glade 4.0

There's a rapidly growing thread on the official boards about how this game needs an appearance tab, of all things.

I admit, it was a cool feature in LOTRO.

That is completely obviated by orange gear.

How my toon looks, does, for me, affect in a small way my desire to play that toon. Different strokes and all.

Oh, no doubt. But having an appearance tab makes fully moddable gear pointless, and vice versa. Given the amount of work put into the mod system, switching implementations seems silly.

It's a case of people wanting to look exactly how they want from day 1 (i.e., the instant they get the green piece of gear off the trash mob), while Bioware wants to use attaining that cool look permanently (via finding/acquiring the proper orange gear) a goal for you to work towards.

I agree. The ability to have many items fully modable (and therefore scalable) is nice. And having the ability to extract socketed mods is also nice (though it's a very hefty cost depending on the quality and level of the mod).

If we could find mod able recipes that look good. I have crafting skill and gathering skills in excess of 130 and have yet to see any form of orange recipe.

I just want to find something good, without that damn hood. I have forgotten what my hair looks like.

This isn't true. Raid gear has the armoring mod(better than anything else in the game, craftable or not) locked in. Plus, raid gear has set bonuses. Also, raid gear looks like dog ****.

Also, I think PvP gear isn't modable, but I don't give a crap about PvP. But some people might and I'm pretty sure there are no mods with the pvp stat.

My Guardian is wearing a trooper chest piece because all of the str/end armor is a bloody brown robe with a bloody hood.

But, your primary stat is Aim ... why would you even want Strength gear? That stuff's for the glowstick-wielders; that's why it's a bunch of hoodies.

Guardian is jedi, Vanguard / Commando are the Aim guys.

I'd be interested in getting a suit of modable jedi heavy armour for Strahan, to act as his desert gear.

Oh, right ... forgot about Ara, was thinking about Fys.
Also, I hadn't had my coffee yet o.O

I'd settle for being able to turn off my companion's helmet.

It is funny. Before I got the hat for Kira, she kinda slouched or just leaned her head forward when we were standing around. Since I got that hat on her head, she now stands straight up. In fact, she looks like she is...presenting her self. Thrusting forward on full.
