Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52892469]But there is nothing canon for the empire to grab from, like how could you customize a stormtrooper? They don’t have any of the options that the clones have.[/QUOTE] They could always bring back these guys I guess. [T]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/94/Imperial_Shock_Trooper_canon.png/revision/latest?cb=20151106024630[/T] But yeah apart from that and pauldrons there aren't really that many options for lore friendly Empire skins. That's what you get with a regime based around unity and lack of individuality.

These are all [I]canon[/I] variants.

Plus there's a bunch of stuff in the legends they could take from.

Point taken. Though I don't think storm commandos should be a skin option - they're fairly similar in appearance to Death Troopers, and I feel that might lead to people having trouble telling them apart in a firefight. Plus magma and shoretroopers should be environmental variants anyway. Other than that I'm with you now.

Oh yeah, had I gone legends, there's like, 40+ stormtrooper variants.

Who in their right mind thought allowing any side in galactic assault to have 4 heroes at one time, was a good idea?

[QUOTE=Zeos;52892611]Oh yeah, had I gone legends, there's like, 40+ stormtrooper variants.[/QUOTE] Didn't Legends have the issue with the billions of different stormtroopers that filled like one tiny role on one single location, resulting in there being a fuckton of variants?

Man there's some dumb shit in Legends about Stormtroopers

[QUOTE=Zeos;52892589] Saying there's next to nothing is nonsense. These are all [I]canon[/I] variants.[/QUOTE] The Jumptroopers and Scouttroopers are already in game. Magma troopers will probably come back as a map specific armour if they they bring in a magma world. Shore troopers make no sense outside of planets with uh shores. The Darktrooper should be a reinforcement not a customization.

To be honest as much as I like being given the option to customise characters I don't think they should go too wild with stormtrooper skins. Stuff like visors for snipers, pauldrons, camo and other addons are cool, but we don't need a million different armor variants. Plus we still need to keep easy class identifiablity in mind.

Some of the canon Clone armour designs could fit as customization for specific classes. I.E. the scout armour could be a skin for the Clone Specialist class.

The BARC armour could also be a skin for the specialist class. [editline]15th November 2017[/editline] Where did my merge go.

Why can't the Stormtroopers wear camo or any markings on their armor if the different variants of armor are specifically tied to specific roles?

[QUOTE=kilerabv;52892673]Why can't the Stormtroopers wear camo or any markings on their armor if the different variants of armor are specifically tied to specific roles?[/QUOTE] Have stormtroopers ever worn camouflage in canon? Only Clone troopers seem to have done so.

Hell, why can't the specific trooper variants be the customization option? Because a shore trooper wont make sense on a jungle planet or Hoth?

[QUOTE=kilerabv;52892680]Hell, why can't the specific trooper variants be the customization option? Because a shore trooper wont make sense on a jungle planet or Hoth?[/QUOTE] Pretty much. Stuff like shore/snow/sand/space/magma/etc troopers are meant to be using specialised equipment for the environment of the planets they're working on. Would you use armor intended for a tropical island in a frozen wasteland? [editline].[/editline] [QUOTE=Reagy;52892713]Doesn't exactly matter when the heros don't even use their specific variants on certain maps, classic example is ROJ Luke on Hoth. I guess they've just never bothered in the first place.[/QUOTE] Didn't they eventually patch those in on the last Battlefront? [editline].[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeos;52892731]What is this man I love his armor[/QUOTE] [URL="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_combat_driver"]http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_combat_driver[/URL] From the same line that gave us AT-AT pilots and Rogue One's tank drivers.

[QUOTE=Blueleaf;52892710]Didn't they eventually patch those in on the last Battlefront?[/QUOTE] Took them a long time to do it however.

[QUOTE=Zeos;52892731]What is this man I love his armor[/QUOTE] AT-DP pilot/driver. Was also used in some scenes as general vehicle crewmen.

[QUOTE=Zeos;52892731]What is this man I love his armor[/QUOTE] Generic vehicle driver. Actually having a Rebel-styled helmet for Stormtroopers would be a good skin. It's same thing just slightly altered, would look alright I think.

This feels like a incredibly petty thing to complain about given the bigger issues with the game, but half the Separatist stuff not having their faction's markings still bugs me.

Don't even get me started on customization and markings. It's like they fused Trade Federation and Separatist design into one... which is really, really weird.

[QUOTE=Zeos;52892842]Don't even get me started on customization and markings. It's like they fused Trade Federation and Separatist design into one... which is really, really weird.[/QUOTE] I think that's just an unfortunate consequence of trying to appeal to the mass audience; more people recognize the style of MTT and AAT from The Phantom Menace than would recognize the Separatist theme from The Clone Wars.

I guess they've just never bothered in the first place.[/QUOTE] Some of those skins are in the game files, guessing they’re in crates. I know one Han Solo skin is tied to 3 star every arcade mission

What even is that Smuggler skin, I've never seen Han look like that

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52893153]What even is that Smuggler skin, I've never seen Han look like that[/QUOTE] It's from the campaign.

The AMA is in full swing apparently. Responses pretty much boil down to "we'll look at the data and change/balance things accordingly". Ech... Cosmetic trooper customization is on its way.
