Costume slots? Or the like?

I like the 1 hand lightsaber style of the jedi knight tank spec, but I don't like the look of the armor/robe, especially when they get to high levels with huge shoulderpads/etc. Do we know if there will be a way to use some armor for the look, and other armor for the stats? Like in EQ2, if you know what I mean.

I've not personally seen that announced, but seeing as almost every major MMO now has that sort of feature, if they don't launch with it I would be shocked.

I was talking to my son about this the other day.even though they haven't announced anything I thi k we will see this. I can see them charging $50 at a cash shop for a complete Boba Fett wardrobe set.

Everything I've heard out of Bioware is that they want a player's appearance to identify his/her role. Sounds like if you are a Jedi Guardian, you'll have to wear Guardian gear.

Bioware has also said that there are a wide range of gear options (so hopefully you wont have to save the galaxy with linebacker shoulder pads, Winin). Also, I think Georg Zoeller said that the item modifications have a larger effect on stats than the base armour itself; if you like the look of a lower level armour you can just mod it up with epic mods and still be competitive.

Who knows what Bioware does between now and launch though.

That's good to hear. I hate the overdone armor look. I always think of that scene in I'm Gonna Get You Sucka when the guy dies because he OG'd on a raid.

I'm afraid for the costumes. uggh I love Star Wars but I also am a stickler for keeping to canon and continuity. And this outfit looks like WoW crap. We better have a hide helm, shoulders, cape feature.

I know! Those shoulder pads make her breasts look small. They should have armored underwear.

I believe those are aero wings for when she's in flight mode.
